Ainge should have gotten Smith, if nothing else to keep Rondo happy. I think he signed at a good market value and no more than 4 years (all prime).

The Big KO is lighting up the summer league.

If he can be a presence in the post, he's got the shooting to totally open his offensive game. He's probably going to be a liability on defense.
US V.S Panama in the Gold Cup, hopefully we take it!

US is a lot better, but Panama beat us during early WC qualifying. That was when we were playing bad. Now, we're on a 10 game winning streak and looking like one of the top five teams in the world.

Compared to where they were a couple years ago, they've made great strides from a team that was going to struggle in qualifying to a team who is looking like a top ten squad with a good shot of making the Round of 16 in the World Cup.
But actually, they've been really good for all of the 2000's. In fact, they throttled Mexico in the Round of 16 in 2002 and only lost to the eventual finalists, Germany in the quarters b/c the refs didn't call an obvious hand ball right on the goal line.
In 06; they pitted us (a top ten team) against two other ten or fifteen teams and then the other team, Ghana was easily the best African team. Then reffing.... It was obvious payback for the Iraq War.
10: We were competitive too. We just didn't match-up great with Ghana and our main scorer Charlie Davies was injured right before the Cup and one of our solid midfielders, Stuart Holden blew out a knee too. We didn't even have a striker score in that WC. All midfielder goals.

International referees from third world shit holes hate us, I remember that game against Slovenia in the last world cup where we scored a goal and the referee from Mali called it off sides when it obviously wasn't we should have won that game.

Yea, you're either thinking the offside vs Algeria or the foul in the box vs. Slovenia. Both terrible calls. The foul in the box, we had guys getting held and tackled and didn't commit fouls. The ref already had his whistle in his mouth. Refs are only supposed to have whistles in their mouths after a foul has occurred. He was paid off. I would hope that he never officiates another FIFA game.
