    Week 9 Game Thread

    I think I've heard Breer mention it, while there were the medical issues/ACL with Pickens, the character concerns were what really pushed him down the draft board. The red flags are vague beyond "maturity" issues and the 2 on field incidents, but it sounds like his interview process really...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Vegas has them at 6.5. They aren't any more down on the team than the consensus of NFL analysts right now. Felger's overall handling of the Belichick/Brady situation has actually felt pretty fair to me. I know plenty of fans that are MUCH more anti-Bill at this point, and were so immediately...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    I didn't think this take was that bad. I thought they were trying to be laudatory to the Eagles as an organization and Roseman as a manager more than critical of New England. It is impressive how they've been able to stay Super Bowl contenders over the past 2 decades through multiple, complete...

    Celtics sign Oshae Brissett

    Agreed. Remains to be seen how well he'll fill either of those roles. Interesting developmental player, shooting numbers are all over the place with small and inconsistent sample sizes but looks like he's at least developed into a competent outside shooter. Hopefully he can play within himself...

    Celtics sign Oshae Brissett

    Had this same thought. Even if Walsh spends most of his time in Maine, he has someone comparable to watch and learn from and compete with during camp and practices. Also a low budget method to fill a role, or even two, that were lacking on the roster. A useful backup wing who doesn't...

    Pick 35, or 25, or 31, or 34 and 39, or 38 and 39: Where we certainly will find the future of Celtics Basketball

    Signing 2nd rounders got easier with the new CBA. There's a new salary cap exception for 2nd round picks, where previously teams would need to use cap space or part of the MLE if they wanted to offer more than 2 years @ the rookie minimum. Not a huge difference, but going forward 2nd rounders...

    Kristaps Porzingis to Celtics!!!!!

    This is where I am after sleeping on it. I'm as big a Marcus fan as anyone, but I think the team and Joe Mazzulla will be better off not having to manage his delicate ego. As good as he is, he also just thinks a little too highly of himself and it takes away from the overall package. Like, it's...

    Pick 35, or 25, or 31, or 34 and 39, or 38 and 39: Where we certainly will find the future of Celtics Basketball

    Kobe Brown looks interesting. Some similarities to Grant Williams: measurables and SEC production, Brown was 1st team All-SEC and SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year this year. His junior & senior numbers are very comparable to what Grant did at Tennessee. It seems like he might have more skill...

    The Celtics Offseason

    I'm not sure how much I want to start re-tooling the roster behind Tatum & Brown, but if they do shake it up I like this outline. Rob Williams is great but the reliability is an issue and the special 2021-22 version of him looks like it was a flash. Meanwhile Marcus is getting high mileage, and...

    The Celtics Offseason

    I mean you could've just read what I wrote after the bolded. I wasn't referring to what he has sacrificed this year. You're complaining that they've been at this for 6 years. Well, 5 years ago, in what could have been a huge break out year 3, Jaylen took a cut in minutes AND shots for Gordon...

    The Celtics Offseason

    You don't have to, but I think you'd be really hard pressed to find a better alternative. The main issue might be our expectations. They haven't been at it for 6 years like that. The 2018 Cinderella run to the ECF makes it feel like it's been forever, but this group didn't really become the...

    Matt Araiza Cleared of Gang-Rape at SDSU; Signed by Chiefs

    I think it was... and, are we that concerned about preserving the honor of Aaron Rodgers here? Araiza has been somewhat cleared, so what Rodgers is being lumped into is a bit ambiguous at this point... but it's totally "logic" he would use.

    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    There was another small moment in the 4th, game pretty much in hand but not quite, when the defense got sloppy and no one picked up Butler full court and he ran straight down the lane for a dunk. Both Jays were getting back to protect the basket, just to turn for a front row view of Jimmy at the...

    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    No, this was happening yesterday, a lot. Spiraling in a must win game for your season and they were unorganized with switches then would give token close outs like it was a December game. It was the main thing that has me thinking this may be the players quitting on the coach. I've been a huge...

    2022-2023 General Celtics thread

    Very well put with the last line. The game was largely decided by the Celtics going 1-12 in the 1st quarter and 2/19 in the 1st half from deep. It seems strange to point to a lack of adjustments when they played the 2nd half even, and it stayed a competitive game until late despite such a...
