Mark Blount Jerseys and his 3rd consecutive DNP-CD


At the Celtics gift shop (Jersey counter) after the Celtics game 7 romp:
Me: Hey, you guys got any Mark Blount jerseys?
Worker: (looking bewildered)....No.
Me: What, are you sold out or just don't have any right now?
Worker: Uh, I don't think they made them this year.

So there you have it. Not only does this $42 Million player not get to play in the last 3 playoff games for the Celtics...not only does he get booed by the home town fans each time he touches the ball (BTW, I'm known as the "Oh shit! Guy" from section 312), but on top of all this, his own gift shop doesn't carry Mark Blount jerseys. Do they have any Mark Blount merchandise? I even saw a Kendrick Perkins jersey. On top of that, I just tried to find a Mark Blount jersey through Google and got nothing. Slap Slap! Mark Blount needs a hug. I'm sure he can buy one with his $42 Million big ones. Good for you Mark!

Its sad when he couldn't even get garbage minutes (and there were a lot of garbage minutes tonight). Even Justin Reed got off the bench before Mark. Every Celtic dressed played in tonights game...except Mark Blount.

Its funny, midway through the 3rd quarter the guy sitting infront of me (who also heard the Mark Blount song) said, "Don't worry, Mark Blount will come in during the 4th and drop a double - double on them". My reaction: Oh SHIT!. After all, I'm the Oh Shit guy from section 312. Mark Blount with a double - double??!!

Anyways, please share your thoughts on the game tonight and why you think Mark can't get off the pine in garbage time. The team played aweful tonight. Lots of one-on-one and lots of Paul Pierce (the individual) versus the Indiana Pacers (the team). Raef LaFrentz didn't even score. Ricky Davis took only 7 or 9 shots. And those referees!! Don't get me started on them.

All I have to say is that we need to explore a Paul Pierce trade this summer, resign Antoine Walker, and figure out the Mark Blount thing.

Please feel free to share your thoughts. Before I go, someone at the game won a worn Mark Blount practice jersey. Maybe he can trade it in for a pack of gum.
