    What If you could change One (little?) thing.

    What if the Memphis Grizzlies won the 2003 Lottery? They traded their first round pick to Detroit but it was #1 protected. Lebron would be joining a team with Pau Gasol, Jason Williams, Mike Miller, and Shane Battier. If that’s too much youth Jerry West is the team executive charged with...

    2023 NBA Playoffs

    Thank you, Danny Ainge

    I’d like to see Ainge’s number in the rafters. The next retired number will require a new banner. Although the Celtics retire a lot of numbers, a brand new banner would likely be someone significant in Celtic history. If the next retired number were a player on the current roster, it might be...

    Penn State AD and Sandusky Charged

    Bill James appeared on ESPN Radio to add to his previous comments: http://hardballtalk....aterno-defense/ Given the cover-up by the archdiocese and child sex abuse by a former club house manager, I am shocked as well as disgusted by his comments. Is he playing the super-contrarian out of some...
