    2024 Celtic Playoff Prediction Poll

    I feel very confident the Celts get to the Finals. Then will be excited but really nervous about a match-up with the Nuggets or, to a lesser extent, the Wolves. Wolves defense is so good but don't like their halfcourt offense once things slow down in the playoffs.

    It's no Shrek and Donkey but I love UniKornet as a nickname.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Yes. A lot like the "it is us against the world" mentality that John Thompson instilled in his Georgetown teams even when they were most definitely the Goliath in a given season/matchup. It is a motivational tool that works really well for some, obviously.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    I’m Yep, that was my primary thought. And the narrative, as I saw it anyway, that only BB knew how messed up, possibly sociopathic, Hernandez was was laughable. I forget if it was Welker or Branch but whoever said "we knew he was messed up, but no one thought he was capable of murder" should...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Yeah, I should have used "chance" instead of "flyer" there. Just seemed odd to essentially skip over 2002 - 2004 given how much happened there.

    Cam Newton vs. 3 dudes

    Or is he paying homage to the Wicked Witch of the West?

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Definitely about the people and not the games. I am mostly enjoying it so far for the nostalgia alone but glossing over the 2003 and 2004 Super Bowl teams, and the fallout from releasing Lawyer in 2002, seems a bizarre decision. As does completely (IIRC) failing to mention the signing and...

    The Celtics with Bias

    It’s his mid-range jump shot that made/makes me believe he was can’t miss. Even if his size and athleticism didn’t hold up in the pros, that jumper would have. Apologies for adding to the highlight videos, but this is a good one. View: https://youtu.be/d30aoXR6kDc

    2023-24 Celtics

    Thanks for this as those UNLV teams (Paddio plus Gilliam and Banks) drew me in as well. Will need to go back and read all those articles. Sorry for the derail, but I always loved Tarkanian for his willingness to (in my eyes) take a chance on kids who might otherwise have slipped through the...

    Jaylen Brown: Will he be enough in Year 8?

    If he is the 5th best player on the team (or the 3rd or the 4th) that is great. We ask what is "enough" from JB in the thread title. Last year, "enough" was him performing at a level commensurate with being the 2nd best player on the team. A level he was pretty hit-or-miss at reaching in the...

    10/25: Celtics@Knicks

    This made me laugh out loud, thanks! Having not watched enough Porzingis over the years, I am really excited by his fit with this team. One game and all but adding him to the offense, especially in crunch time, is huge given their end of game execution problems the last few years in the playoffs.

    Rate Your Celtics Excitement Level

    I get where you are coming from in terms of homegrown on court talent. But part of the intrigue here for me is watching what I consider homegrown Front Office talent in POBOBS do his thing. I will miss a lot of what Marcus brought to the table and all of what Rob brought to the table (when fully...

    Steep Couloirs and Flatspin 360s - Skiing and Boarding 22-23

    Not sure if you're up for a shell-only option, but I bought this one last season and love it: https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-powder-town-ski-snowboard-jacket/31625.html?dwvar_31625_color=BLK&cgid=jackets. Comes in a 3L option as well but the price jumps a fair amount. Great venting...

    Rodman: Bird couldn’t play in today’s NBA

    Maybe mental health treatment first then hanging with the kids? And as the old saying goes, the beef/rivalry between Bird and Rodman (not directed towards you) is about as real as the beef/rivalry between a hammer and a nail. I did love a lot of what Rodman brought as a player but watching the...

    5/29 - The Last Of Us

    I’ll be shocked if the Finals go more than 6 games. And I hope JB played himself out of a max contract from the Celtics this series.

    5/27 - Weekend At Bernie's

    Love this post. I’ve had a great day in western CO with my sis and her family. Have now convinced the family to watch at least the first half out in Palisade, CO before a family dinner at 7:30 PM MST. I’m convinced I’ll see enough in the first half to know which way the game is going. Win...

    When to get excited?

    This is where I am as well. Just excited for more Celtics basketball and watching this way too frequently: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dllnyWduwbY I want to feel after game 5 tomorrow night how I felt leaving Fenway after game 5 in 2004. Not quite confident, but definitely hopeful...
