    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    Philosophical question. Root for Denver to shiv the Lakers with a semi mortal 3-0 series lead Or Hope LAL wins and push the series. I'm in shiv and bury the LAL asap camp

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    Yup. Before the series started I opined Heat were unlikely to win a 120-110 type game and would try to play and win a lower scoring type game. Taking each half last night on a stand alone basis sort of supports both sides of that argument.

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    Going by the scoreboard, Celts won the 1st half and lost the 2nd last night. What hurt the Celts last night was CJM assuming Heat shooting reverting to the mean, making no half time adjustments and the Heat building the lead in the 3rd qtr.

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    HRB Let's just hope the Celts have a better G3/4. Or the "team that played with desperation" you referenced above, may get flipped 180.

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    Or that Jaylen Brown would continue his unconcious last two minutes of the 1st half play into the 2nd half.

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    HRB If the Celts were playing with "fake hustle" against the Heat in the post-season, they learned nothing from last year, and is a damning conclusion about their game preparation. And if CJM and staff didn't pay attention to the importance of D in playing their O game, (ie pace and space)...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    I wasn't in on the pre-game game plan discussion or the huddle. But the Heat came out immediately last night and were shooting 3s. At some point CJM might have suggested to defend the perimeter with a little more intensity.

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    G1 the Celts came out gang busters and were up 14-0 in the first 3 minutes. G2 it was close in Q1 largely a reflection of Spo's decision to play and sink 3-balls. And the curious CJM decision to give them somewhat open 3 looks. Last year was a shit show.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    If as we believe, the NBA has become more lenient re fouls and whistles, then Finesse v Physical is a tough match-up for Finesse. And WE FINESSE. CJM might want to tell his fellas, get up close and a little more physical on D. Be aggressive. See what happens.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Spo, as some expected, came up with a G2 game plan that addressed what he learned from G1. And the Heat executed. And won. Now its CJM's turn to learn from G2 and adjust and hope his players buy in and execute and regain HCA. I think the key is D, contest hard, get stops, play aggressive...

    Very cool. There is a difference in the challenges of the regular season and the challenges of a series in the post season.

    April 24. 2024 Beat the Heat

    I still expect the Cs to get to the Finals, with a few dings. But if they do get there it will be their exceptional skills and depth making up for a lazy, la di da undisciplined approach. And a not ready for prime time coach.

    April 24. 2024 Beat the Heat

    Heat hitting 3s took away transition ball and pace and the Celts bogged down all nite. No real movement. Or energy.. It happens. But the real story was Spo had to come up with something new and he did and it worked. AGAIN.

    Joe can adapt. I understand CJM may shelve The Town and start binging The Departed.

    Luddite new computer recommendation

    My 2016 Asus 2-1 (i-3) is becoming a problem, and I fear is not long for this world. My computing needs are modest at this point in my life, that is to say little computing but lots of web browsing, streaming, emails. So I've been hunting. I'm using a 32" HP monitor so I can get away with a...
