    Peacock To Air MLB Games On Sunday

    Yes, this definitely seems like a move to get new viewers at the expense of diehards. MLB will get great advertising space on streaming service selection screens to get the eyeballs of uninvested viewers to watch their games for free. This is the national games strategy of the past, the...

    Kyrie’s comments on race in Boston

    This was my point above, as well as Jake's. Just because we can't definitively isolate the racism coefficient in the fan behavior equation doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. I personally don't care about where the US ranks in racism globally. We need to focus on how we can be better tomorrow...

    Kyrie’s comments on race in Boston

    I agree that the incidents could be racist, and that it is impossible for any of us to say definitively that it was 100% or 0% a racist act. Systemic racism may even make it impossible for the individuals themselves to say that definitively. To connect that then to this post: I sense that the...

    Kyrie’s comments on race in Boston

    If you're positing that there's some sort of formula where we can put in behavior and race and it can calculate the odds of attempted assault, we can't just hold behavior constant, imagine possible outcomes, and then use that to say there's no effect from race. This is a logical fallacy...

    Budenholzer made zero adjustments when the Celtics beat the Bucks 2 seasons ago because he was the coach of the Hawks. Joe Prunty was Bucks head coach in that series and is now out of the league.

    Kyrie speculation

    Just watched the full clip on SportsCenter. Kyrie's clear first frustration is with being asked about his FA situation anytime something happens on Twitter. He's trying to convey that first and foremost, so his most incendiary comments are about people continuing to bring it up. That said...

    Games 163 Gamethread

    If you ignore HFA and strength of opponent, Game 163 to decide division/WC makes the same contribution (3.125%) to winning the World Series as the least consequential playoff game - Game 3 of a tied Division Series. It's half the contribution as the Wild Card Game and 1/16 as important as Game 7...

    Kyrie Irving: Hardwood Magician

    Players' MPG always adds up to more than 240 due to DNP and OT. The 30x7 plan is still possible even with the 8th-15th men totaling more than 30 MPG.

    Why do you want to trade Scary Terry?

    A lot of posts lately have advocated for trading Terry Rozier as he's put up great performance after great performance. I'm on the side of keeping him, as I think that gives the team the best chance to win in 2019, and that I'm optimistic ownership will pay to keep a championship-caliber team...
