    The WNBA: Thread II

    Caitlin Clark is a point guard. She's Sue Bird with a better shot. I think the WNBA will showcase her passing and court vision in addition to her shooting. Against UConn, she had a quickness that enabled her drives to the basket, so I think she'll adjust well to the speed of the pro game. The...

    Luddite new computer recommendation

    When getting a new computer one thing to consider is your monitor. If it has an HDMI port, then hooking it up to a new laptop is doable with just an HDMI cable. If your monitor has just a VGA port, then you may need a VGA-to-HDMI adapter to connect it to any new computer. Computer manufacturers...

    4/18 vs Guardians

    The Red Sox are keeping Yoshida as their "secret weapon." Once the season gets going in earnest (a.k.a. "May"), they'll unleash the Yoshida.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    According to CBS Sports' Jack Maloney, the Sun have already have a full roster, and can wait a year for Lacan to come. So she's a Euro-stash. Perhaps the first in WNBA history? They drafted three other players in the second and third rounds, but they aren't guaranteed rookie contracts.

    Playoff Fear Factor: Which EC team is your top concern?

    I would rank the EC challengers to the Celtics' title pursuit thusly: 1. New York Knicks. They have the best defense in the conference, and get enough scoring from Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart to steal a few games. But Julius Randle is their 2nd leading scorer and leading rebounder, and he's out...

    Marquette needs to calm down a bit. Too many plays seem rushed.

    Today is a good day for shooting lights out. Show the League that you still got it. After two days of rest, the Celtics should be ready to resume their domination. Win today!

    23-24 UConn Basketball: Stephon's Castle

    Providence started with a 15-2 run in 4 minutes and closed with a 16-4 run over 8 minutes. The 28 minutes in between? UConn, 68-29. The run toward the end of the first half seems to be the hallmark of this team. They adjust to what their opponents are doing, clamp down on defense, and then their...

    2023-24 Celtics

    I think when the Warriors looked at the numbers on Jaylen, they saw a guy who shoots 35.2% on threes (8th on the Celtics, 129th in the NBA) and 57.6% on twos (2nd on the Celtics, 38th in the NBA, and KP, who was 1st, was out), so they played him as their biggest inside threat, so they put...
