    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    It is a bummer to see him injured no matter what, but I have a sad feeling that he played through injury and didn’t put his own health first, and got traded anyway. That sucks.

    2023-24 Celtics

    +/-of 36/27/20/34/22 for the starters. None of them played more than 27 minutes. Gonna be interesting how they handle health and workload this season, because this team is very very legit.

    10/25: Celtics@Knicks

    Its crazy how much it will unlock the offense just having a 7 fter who needs to be guarded at the 3 point line

    How do you feel about the Breslow hire on 10/25/2023? (non-binding)

    Hard to give it a grade until we know which right-handed CBO he will be paired with. He definitely hits some of the biographical criteria you want in a modern GM. Hes a nerd with playing experience. He has no track record though, so that's all we are relying on. B-/C+? Any grade higher than...

    The tales this group could tell (2007 Red Sox)

    Tek looks like a guy from an Andy Capp cartoon. He blew his paycheck at this bar, tomorrow he’s going to be wearing a big barrel with suspenders.

    Tito Francona Appreciation Thread

    The idea that firing Francona was some sort of unpopular decision over the objection of the adoring Red Sox Nation is not how I remember things at all. It was stupid and reactionary and lots of people wanted it to happen.

    Saudi Pro League 2023-2024: Sports watching, or Sportswashing?

    I guess I don't understand what the Saudi's objective is here. Are these supposed to be investments in building up the league and clubs, or are they just gratuitously spending money on luxuries the way you might collect art? Saudi Arabia is just not a big enough country to sustain a good...

    GW 4 Game Thread: Sons of Duncan Ferguson Edinburgh Bash

    I hope they can hold off suitors for at least a couple years. It’s an incredibly fun team and I want to see how far they can go if they can hang on to some of their kids.

    White Sox fire Ken Williams and Rick Hahn

    you would never know it from the photos, but the park actually does have a pretty great community vibe in some ways. Every time I have gone, we have borrowed a street parking pass from friends who live in Bridgeport and walked to the stadium. Its almost all small residential buildings up until...

    Just how good was Nomar Garciaparra?

    Sorry to dredge this up from pages ago but this has bothered me for 20 years. WHY did people make a big deal about that SI cover. What were we expecting an elite shortstop to look like with his shirt off? Michael Cera? I googled it to see if I misremembered- yep, pretty standard ripped guy...

    8/11/2023 - Teeeeeeeeeel

    Izzy just got the longevity- like 1500 ABs of Manny Ramirez production in AAA without ever being replacement level in the majors. Also he gets some extra black ink for kicking that guys head off.

    The Celtics Offseason

    It’s more or less what Denver did, and their stars were older with a less impressive playoff resume than our guys. Miami pretty much ran it back too.

    Winning At Home is Possible on May 19, 2023

    I don’t think it’s really the same. They were pretty banged up and had crappy depth last year and still managed to beat three good to very good teams, and lost to a team that was flat out more talented than them. There really isn’t anything positive to take away from this years run.

    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    I think firing the coach is a good place to start, but it might be time to make some changes to this core as well. They are consistently horrifically careless with the ball In crunch time and have been for years. I don’t think they can win a championship like this. Miami is obviously better...
