    This is unbelievable. Holy shit

    Xavier Tillman to Celtics for 2 2nd round picks

    I'm already in love. That defense looks fantastic.

    I love SGA, but that’s wild. I don’t even think he’s on the short list of guys you’d consider first overall

    That's kind of insane. And I know we like to talk about "stocks", but steals are more valuable than blocks, and he's almost 50% above the next closest player? Crazy.

    I've watched enough of Luka to agree that there is an effort problem, but honestly that doesn't explain enough of it for me. There's something more fundamentally wrong there. Is there a version of athleticism that works for offense but not on defense? If so, that's Luka's athleticism. On...

    Jaylen Brown: Will he be enough in Year 8?

    As someone who has been very skeptical of JB for the past season+, I'd just like to publicly raise my hand, apologize to JB, and accept the cone of shame for as long as this community sees fit. He's transitioned from one of my most frustrating players to watch to someone that just provides an...

    I actually think that there’s a case to be made against the min/max tankathon philosophy that is primarily around the impact of purposeful losing on culture. How many recent champions were true tankathons? What’s the most successful tank in terms of the ultimate success of the team? The ‘can’t...

    Random thought as I was driving this morning: trading away Marcus Smart was immensely impactful in almost every way that counts. Love him though we may (and I do), I think you could point to the following as being directly enabled by the trade: - Allowing your two best players to also be your...

    If this version of Jalen Brown is for real, I don’t think anyone can beat this team absent injury or insane variance. That includes Denver. I’ve been a JB skeptic and could not be more delighted to be wrong.

    It’s crazy, isn’t it? Embiid is absolutely insane right now. Making Doc and/or Harden look real bad (though mostly Doc).

    I may be too old, but I don’t understand any of this. I understand the phrase “I like chocolate” (I do too!!) but pretty sure I’m missing something.

    Wow. To think I was kind of optimistic about Detroit. I really thought they were putting together some good talent and I thought Monty was a great pickup. Everything I've seen about his coaching this year is that it has been inexcusably bad.

    I had to remind myself that (1) Middleton was on the floor and (2) he used to be a certified Celtics killer. Crazy how diminished he is. Knee injuries are no joke.

    I thought I was taking crazy pills last night because I had the same thought. He’s obviously still amazing, but it doesn’t look or feel the way it did 2 years ago. I don’t know if it’s that he has slowed down a step or if he’s making different choices, but it doesn’t feel like he’s playing like...

    Doogie does defense, the Sam Hauser thread

    Yeah, and in the starting lineup I would think.
