    Who are you rooting for in the Play In Games?

    Did you get them to at least jump on the Cs bandwagon if/when the Warriors bow out, or are they ride or die with the Dubs?

    2023-2024 Celtics Wins Poll

    Okay, had a little taste with coffee this morning. A good mouthful for a chipmunk, if not a rabbit or giant NYC squirrel. Not bad at all! Possibly even tasty enough to make it an unsatisfying L for some, but I figure that and the $5 price tag (together with the risk that the Amazon delivery guy...

    2023-2024 Celtics Wins Poll

    Looks like the inside is relatively edible, actually. Hoping the poplar (“filet mignon of wood shavings” as it may be) is mostly in the hard shell (which is apparently edible, for rabbits and squirrels, anyway….) My other issue is the plastic packet came open in the soft Amazon pack, but what...

    I’m revising the “Play-In” lexicon for the sad #9-10 matchups (GS at SAC, ATL at CHI) since none of them are actually playing to get “IN” to anything. The #7-8 is a legit Play-In game, as is final Play-In game (#7-8 loser v #9-10 winner). But #9 v #10 is really just a “Play-On” game.

    2023-2024 Celtics Wins Poll

    One Wild Harvest Stuffed Logz, just ordered on Amazon! We’ll see what I can do about making it edible, lol. You Celtics are good … real good. The best? We shall see. I gotta say, in my defense, I was totally onboard with the Cs being the best team in the league. I just thought given the depth...

    Marcelo Mayer, 2021 1-4

    I’m an instant gratification guy who would love to see the Mayer-to-Grissom-to-Casas combo on the field. like, this afternoon, but the consensus in the “SS possibilities” thread seems to be that it’s best to wait till late-season callups at the earliest (with a stint in Worcester in the...

    Wembanyamarama

    At a casual glance, KD seems kinda high to me and LeBron seems kinda low. I'd put them on the same basic tier. Wemby kinda seems like his own category, but clearly #1 with a bullet in terms of trade value, right? Like, how much was it worth to the Spurs to hit lotto over PDX, Charlotte et al...

    We live in Westchester, 15 minutes’ drive from Greenwich, and often when we cross over we say “welcome to New England” and get a good chuckle.

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Ceddanne Chipper Nicasio Marte Rafaela is an anagram for “Ceddanne, Panoramic Eclipse Aria Father.” Make of it what you will… (I did not know “Chipper” was one of his middle names; mom apparently a Braves fan).

    Weirdly, the Ws are 15-3 in their last 18 road games and 23-15 overall (better than the Nuggets, e.g.) Yet a desultory 20-19 at home. The Lakers have a more normal split: 28-13 home, 17-21 road. Generally, I don't put a lot of stock in anomalous home-road splits — for prediction purposes think...

    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    Could be; it’s always hard to say for sure how “freak” an injury is. But don’t let that stop you from taking advantage of his misfortune (or his physical shortcomings) to take a shot at the stupidity of other posters.

    Ah, my bad, should have scrolled all the way up. Still haven’t seen the whole thing, but Steph on the five-year plus-minus chart at 2:30 … my word. That guy was pretty good in his youth.
