    If You Want Big Air, Pull My Finger - Ski and Ride 23-24

    Thanks for all these suggestions! The main objective is to get good snow (my wife would be happy to go XC skiing or chill in a hot tub...no need for night life or anything so maybe that was a bit of a red herring) This is what I assumed but then so many people in here have talked about the...

    If You Want Big Air, Pull My Finger - Ski and Ride 23-24

    Hey All, I'm an East Coast skiier and I'm dreaming up a trip for March 2025 to try to find some real powder. It seems like there is a lot of combined experience on here so I'm wondering, any advice on where the best best is for finding untracked powder? I've been thinking of Alta but I'd love...

    The Celtics Offseason

    One question I have about this is whether it is only the 2nd apron team that is prohibited from aggregating? Like if the Cs had signed Grant, and gone over, would an under-the-apron team have been able to combine players to match his salary?

    General Offseason Thread.

    It seems like you have missed his point. He is specifically arguing against full-on tanking like THE PROCESS not against developing players. I think its a really good point especially in the new CBA. It takes so much time to develop a whole a team out of 19 year-olds that by the time they are...

    General Offseason Thread.

    There seems to be a trend in thinking that second-round picks are going to be more valuable to capped-out teams in the world of the new CBA. I guess just because they are cheaper and more flexible contracts

    Trade for Dame?

    Wow, I know trade season is crazy-making but this is next level. There is 0 chance Miami gives up Bam, their 25 year old franchise cornerstone. Not to mention Portland giving up Sharpe...

    Kristaps Porzingis to Celtics!!!!!

    On paper, the thing I like most about this trade is the ability to lean into 2BIGZ lineups, which help a lot in allowing Tatum to guard down, etc. If Marcus was still here, it would have complicated that a bit as I doubt he would have liked being benched, while it seems like Brogdon is ok with...

    Charles Lee to join the Celtics coaching staff

    I think that points to how unique last season's coaching situation was, you never hear about assistant coaches leaving en masse and normally they get hired alongside the head coach so you don't really notice. Given that so many people complained about the coaching in the playoffs this should be...

    The Celtics Offseason

    I agree on Orlando. They need a guard not another wing. Personally, I think selling high in Brogdon might be a good bet. This was his healthiest season in a long time. What about something with the Lakers for Vanderbilt and Beasley? Or with the Jazz for Olynyk and....someone?

    Sam Cassell to join Celtics coaching staff

    I have no idea what his reputation is in terms of Xs and Os or player development, but if nothing else he was intimately involved in game planning against the Cs and is also very familiar with Joel Embiid's strengths and weaknesses. I also remember him being awesome as a player-coach in 09

    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    Shouldn't there also be an option 3.) ball movement and player movement, especially utilizing the threat of your stretch 5, to open up the paint and get good looks at the rim/midrange?

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    View: https://twitter.com/ByJayKing/status/1664304115625631745 I think Cassell would be a great hire and probably better than JJ Reddick who was floated for Joe's staff last year.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    As long as Simmons meant as an assistant not a head coach he wasn't off the mark at all. This is from last year: https://celticswire.usatoday.com/lists/nba-boston-celtics-no-redick-for-you/

    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    I have no background in statistics so apologies if I'm misunderstanding, but it seems like a lot of this conversation is a redux of the talking head debates about analytics vs eye test or guys like CJM saying "I like math" vs guys like Barkley saying "you can't win as a jump-shooting team". I...
