I heard them try to address what I assume was a white caller trying to explain why white fans should be more understanding of the stance that players like Michael Bennett have taken regarding law enforcement treatment of black Americans. Their "I really don't want to think about that kind of stuff" blow off of the caller's concerns was ridiculous. Fuck those two.Yeah, listening to the two Boston radio sports shows yesterday afternoon was pure comedy gold. These clowns are trying to convince listeners that one dud in a successful 4-game California road swing is more predictive of the team as a whole because of which game the dud occurred in. It was painfully enjoyable to listen to their cluelessness.
Morris should definitely play 40 minutes for the Celtics to have any chance...The listless Celtics getting destroyed 19-8 by the resurgent Kings. Sadly, this looks over.
Congrats, Sacramento SoSH fans!
36 did the trick!Morris should definitely play 40 minutes for the Celtics to have any chance...
You got the mojo, there's no doubt.The listless Celtics getting destroyed 19-8 by the resurgent Kings. Sadly, this looks over.

Yeah. No.T'Wolves trying to help us out in the ping pong game. Only down 1 at Utah in the third.
Yeah, although iirc correctly, Rondo's jumpers were often just left completely wide open. Fox at least prompts closeouts.Fox went 1-9 on shots not at the rim in the loss against the Celtics. He was 6-6 close in. Fox is making 38.6% of his jumpers this season, including 37% from three. He's kind of a new age Rondo, but is better at the rim and behind the arc. Believe it or not, second year Rondo hit a higher percentage of jumpers than Fox. His ceiling is of course a lot higher than Rondo's was.
You are right. For most, it's about figuring out your best spots on the floor to make a high percentage of jumpers. For a few great shooters, they hit from everywhere at a high level. I expect Fox to be a better than average jump shooter eventually. The future in Sacto is very bright, especially if they can do something with the $30 million coming off the books this season, $55 million if Barnes opts out.Yeah, although iirc correctly, Rondo's jumpers were often just left completely wide open. Fox at least prompts closeouts.
I think people obsess too much about shooting efficiency with young guards. They're going to need to make contested jumpers and floaters routinely, and it opens up a ton of the game if other teams have to contest those hard. I like seeing guys like Fox get in-game reps with those types of shots, and not worry so much about efficiency early on.
It feels that way but that's probably not true. If they lost all their games, they'd most likely finish 9th or 10th.thanks Adam, very helpful.
Feels like SAC could lose their remaining 15 games and they might not be much lower than 11th or 12th.
Yeah, the Lakers are pretty clearly tanking for the outside shot at AD via trade. I suppose they successfully did it for 3 straight years to keep their pick, so they have some experience.It feels that way but that's probably not true. If they lost all their games, they'd most likely finish 9th or 10th.
14th Kings 33-35
13th Wolves 32-37, 38 projected wins.
12th Orlando 32-38, 37-38 projected wins
11th Charlotte 31-37 37-38 pw
10th LAL 31-38 37 pw
9th NO 30-41 34 pw
8th Wizards 29-40 34 pw
Realistically, the lowest I can see them falling is 10th. That would be a 10.9% chance of landing a pick between 2-4. 11th is 7.4%, 12th 5.7%, 13th 3.7%, 14th 1.9%.
The absolute worst spot they could finish is 5th.
The good news is Orlando and Charlotte are only 1 game out of the playoffs and the Wizards 3.5. The bad news is the Lakers and Pelicans have been playing awful of late and the Wolves aren't playing for anything.
You need BigSoxFan to quote this and tell us all that it will never shake out this way.
Never pressing the sim button again.
Clutch loss by the Pels, with DAL and WAS both winning. Great tech by the Pels' coach at the end of the game.Race for #8:
6. MEM 28-42 (lost 1)
7. DAL 28-41 (won 1)
8. NO 30-42 (lost 6)
9. WAS 30-40 (won 1)
Yup, all about that wins column.Wizards win over the Grizzlies. And Dallas blows it and ends up seizing victory (albeit only over the Cavs). So Memphis is back in the 6 spot. Well, tied in the wins column, percentage points ahead with an extra loss. I guess for tanking at end-of-season, don't you compare the wins column, since you gotta assume every team is capable of losing out?
*searches frantically for @BigSoxFan 's prognostications*Nets outscore Kings 45-18 in the fourth quarter in Sacto to beat the Kings by a bucket.
It is clear that you cannot watch any further NBA games in this season. It is a far, far better thing you do than you have ever done.*searches frantically for @BigSoxFan 's prognostications*
I watched a bit, but turned it off when it was 91-67 SAC. You're welcome, Celtics Nation.
Shall we...form a partnership?*searches frantically for @BigSoxFan 's prognostications*

There were some on this board who did. The guy just gets it done with whatever he has.San Antonio has also won like 9 in a row. Never doubt Pop.
I was merely reporting...Dude, you’re jinxing the wrong team
Is it safe to start rooting for the Clips to lose a few? Could make a difference of 4-5 spots in the draft.If I’m not mistaken, magic number of LAC wins/SAC losses now sits at 4. Almost there. Doc really did us a solid this year. This pick conveying AFTER trading Harris is pretty astonishing, really.
Clips upcoming schedule is pretty easy but 4 of next 6 are on road. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them drop a couple. Their last 4 includes Houston, GS, and Utah and that GS game may still be meaningful.
SAC isnt catching them for the last playoff spot and nobody in the bottom half of the playoff bracket in east is going to pass them either. Not sure there is too much room for them to go besides finishing 8 in the west .Is it safe to start rooting for the Clips to lose a few? Could make a difference of 4-5 spots in the draft.
