    3/1 vs. Dallas

    This anecdote is simultaneously both unsurprising and disappointing.

    2023-24 Celtics

    It's a bold statement. And I expected to be posting in disagreement... but I'm not. I was at every home game throughout the '08 run, and had season tickets from '08 - '10. When I think back on those rosters, part of what was so incredible was how well Allen, Pierce and Garnett complemented each...

    Lucas Giolito signs 2 year, 38.5M contract with Red Sox (opt-out after 1 year, potential 3rd year option)

    To your point, Giolito said as much during the pod: paraphrasing, but he essentially stated that, if a team takes a chance on him, and the tweaks they make to his process/delivery enable him to get the long term contract that he's hoping for, why wouldn't he prioritize re-signing with the guys...

    Everybody Hates Draymond

    A few more curiosities: Tim Duncan - 11 in 19 seasons Kobe - 7 in 20 Manu Ginobili - 2 in 16

    Everybody Hates Draymond

    This is incredible shit, thanks for sharing. I'm going to get some mileage out of this during future lunch breaks. Rasheed, Jermaine O'Neal, Artest and Rodman also received way fewer fines than I would have imagine, but I guess that's a testament to the ways in which the game has changed as far...

    Offseason rumors

    Not that he needs anyone to defend him, but I think @CR67dream has gone above and beyond to attempt to post in a sincere and earnest way. When so many people are posting in what, to me, feels like a bad-faith manner, a little sarcasm feels warranted. No, the Red Sox didn't clean house in the...

    Offseason rumors

    Well, at least there's that silver lining.

    Hey, Let's Talk The Mookie Trade!

    I don't usually post in the Sox forum, and stick to the Port Cellar, but this is the laziest take humanly possible. If you want to criticize last year's lack of spending, that's one thing. If you want to talk about how you wish they'd spent money differently, that's another discussion. But to...

    12/20 Darken the Beam

    12/20 Darken the Beam

    It's actually ok to just enjoy the massive lead in the second night of a b2b against a really good team while on a tough west coast road trip. I mean, nobody is going to force you to, but it might be worth a try.

    12/20 Darken the Beam

    Not sure I've ever seen anything quite like that disparity between made 3s and scoreboard.

    12/20 Darken the Beam

    I'm not going to pretend to have watched every game this season, and I'm sure plenty of people have said this, but I feel like the vibes and chemistry with this group are just night and day compared to the last couple seasons. I wasn't sure what to expect from KP, as his time in Washington and...

    12/20 Darken the Beam

    This is a fucking blast. This game, an Old Fashioned and a gummy - what's not to like? I find the Kings to be pretty enjoyable as far as Californian NBA teams go.

    11/28 vs Bulls (7:30pm) - win big or... stay home

    I know there are reasons for concern about running the starters our there for most of the fourth, but man... I enjoyed the shit out of watching that while tracking the other IST games on my phone. Gave me the same vibe as a tight final day in the Premier League with meaningful title/relegation...
