    3/25 - Celtics @ Hawks

    I don't like having both of our starting guards out at the same time, but that's the NBA. Go Humble the Hawks!

    We get that. However, we're talking about maximizing personal utility. For me, hate watching represents a large part of my personal utility. I will get so much more pleasure out of the Cs beating Miami/NYK/Sixers than I will them beating Cleveland or Orlando that I'm willing to take the...

    3/20 - Bucks @ Cs - The Takeaways Game

    Perhaps the rest of the league is trying to find out if “Resting your All-NBA players against the Celtics” is the new inefficiency. Whatever. Let Jan 11 fuel your rage! Bash the Bucks!

    3/18 - Pistons @ Cs.

    Pummel the Pistons. So, I’m sure DWhite and PP play tonight. Probably Kornet and Tillman too. Anyone else could be a DNP it wouldn’t make me raise an eyebrow

    3/12 Cs @ Jazz - take it easy on Danny?

    So, no KP or Jrue last night. What do we think tonight will bring?

    3/5 @ Cleveland

    No Strus and no Mitchell (of course). Anyone know Porzingis’ status?

    3/5 @ Cleveland

    No mercy. Crush the Cavs.

    Jrue the Damaja

    Out of curiosity, where do you find corner 3 shooting stats? I looked around on google and BR and couldn’t find them

    Any guy who allows more makes than attempts is the guy I want guarding me.:D

    Wasn't that Lively? EDIT: nm, just rewatched the highlight and yes, matador is the perfect description of Luka's move as JB goes by him before doing his move on Lively. Was stuck at the dealership with little to do this morning so ended up eventually listening to the Mavs pods in desperation...

    OK, since we all believe Luka doesn't offer much in the way of defense, do we have any metrics that show the impact of that? Like, how does his fantastic offense net out against his bad defense?

    Wow. I mean, Chet is great and really enjoyable to watch, but Wemby is just something utterly different. The ease with which he protects around the rim is just phenomenal. I don't know in general what his shooting is like but it sure looked good there. Of course it's a highlight film, but he was...

    2/27 vs. Philadelphia

    Deep Six Philly!

    2/24 @ New York

    Taken by my son about 15 min ago. He’s wearing his Marcus Smart jersey. He also says it’s about 50-50 Knicks vs Celtics fans. I’m surprised. Krush the Knicks

    As Bill James said, not playing can reveal value that was missed, but does not in itself constitute value. So yes, Embiid provided a lot of value. Has he provided more value than in 34 games than Joker has in 54 games? I find that hard to believe.

    That sounds like a reasonable guess, and I would be OK with that depending on how it goes down. BTW, pretty sure at least the Tuesday and Wednesday games are 10pm Eastern time not PT, Pacific Time. Either that or the NBA is trying to reach out to the all-important Alaska market.

    Everybody Hates Draymond

    I don’t know, but the compilation videos of Draymond’s mayhem make it clear that his MO is to appear out of control while deliberately doing something specific with sufficient control to engender a high likelihood of hurting his target. The only question is whether it’s a spontaneous decision...
