    April 21, 2024: Beat the Heat

    The open looks are going to be converted eventually. The only thing that really bugs me is all those offensive rebounds getting wasted so that the next guy in line can chuck it up and clang one. Need those second chances to mean something.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    They are not prepared for our Dolphin Blow. That said, was Larry around at all for the '22 run? I know he's been keeping the franchise at arm's length for years and I can't recall if he made an appearance like this before the finals two years ago. If it has been a while then the fact that...

    2023-24 Celtics

    When was the last time this much all star talent was injured going into the playoffs? Especially clustered in one conference like this? Embiid, Randle, Giannis, Butler, Zach Lavine, Haliburton hasn't been the same... Maybe it's just recency bias but it seems excessive.

    Best Celtics never to win a ring in Boston

    Fair enough. It's a relatively short list though. Eventually you start getting into the Dee Browns and Dana Barroses (Barrosi?) of the world. Do Al Jefferson and/or Chauncey Billups count?

    Vote how bad a decision did Butler make by shooting?

    I feel like part of the struggle with a question like this is that it fundamentally expects superstars like Butler to know and understand their limits and play some sort of statistically optimized pattern of play that constantly adjusts based on the state and flow of the game, and that's just...

    That's your preseason prop bet right there.

    Al Horford - the Celtics' Resurrected Saviour of the Season

    Then it looks like Paul George at 108 per Grande. The Clippers are going to need to make some deep but futile runs over the next few years for him to get there. View: https://twitter.com/SeanGrandePBP/status/1531114414887288832?s=20&t=M1T2-WNlCpScnGREZd1U5A

    Let's talk about this ballclub.

    Felix Doubront... woof. I was surprised to see he finished his career with negative WAR. Lights out in the 2013 playoffs though. Masterson had a nice little career. An all-star in Cleveland!

    Anibal Sanchez? It's... not a great list.
