Patrick Ewing guarantees win over Boston

[SBR Lou]

Is it really wise for an assistant, want to be head coach to make silly guarantees of victory to media outlets? Not that Boston needs any help getting up for the game, but what's the point of extra bulletin board material?

Ewing is the all time worst guarantee maker. Celtics win EASY!!!

This is why the guy never won a ring

Wow as if the Magic did not have enough pressure to begin with. Ewing is Howards mentor and Howard had already put enough pressure on himself after the Van Gundy comments. This will add to that pressure. Not to mention its game 7 in the Boston Garden. Bad move by Ewing.

He didn't GUARANTEE anything!

He only predicted!

Big difference!

[sweetjones55]

big joe, delete that comment.

Ewing, appearing on John Thompson's radio show on Friday, told his former coach at Georgetown and former Celtic, "Even though I'm not playing, I guarantee a win."

I stand corrected!

What an ass he is!

I think David Stern wants to see Lebron - Howard in the next round. Rondo - Lebron will not sell tickets.

Pierce-Lebron would. Doesn't matter though, Orlando's the superior team and will show it tonight. BTW, whoever posted that link, some nice info on the bottom(props on Glen Davis?).

Dumb guarantee by Ewing, not like he can suit up and make a difference.

[sweetjones55]

"Rondo-LeBron will not sell tickets"?????

First of all it would be Pierce-LeBron, which by the way was one of the greatest duels I have watched in basketball in a while last year. I am pretty sure almost every basketball fan watched that game 7 and was in awe the whole time. Trying to sell a LeBron-Dwight matchup is stupid because they will NEVER be matched up against one another throughout the game.

Second of all it doesn't matter who the Cavs are playing next round, every single ticket will be sold for the Eastern Conference finals. You can not compare TV ratings between the Celtics-Cavs and Magic-Cavs. The Celtics are still the defending champs until dethroned and are THE most storied franchise in NBA history.

He never won a ring because of Michael Jordan, just like Barkley, Malone, Stockton and some others.

It was because of Hakeem Olajuwon he didn't win a ring.

[daggerkobe]

I like it.

Magic ML it is!

[Tsoprano]

I have a new one for them to use: "Get fukked, by PATRICK WTF ARE YOU DEWING?!?"

A real bonehead move from Ewing.

[The General]

Things are heating up for today's action.

[SBR Lou]

I need to start asking Ewing for stock advice.

[Fischnasty]

about as silly as "guaranteeing" federer to win the french open.

[Shortstop]

Great call Patrick Ewing!

[isiah121]

Yep, now all the Celtics wussy backers can shut the f*ck up.

[big joe 1212]

[Flyers09]
