    Let’s Talk Pasta

    As of right now, Pasta is only 2 career goals behind Seguin. He may catch him before this season ends.

    On th brighter side, though, it looks like this is Eliot Wolf's football operation more so than Mayo's.

    Brissett alone would have gotten them (at least) a 5th win last year, and not because he is anything great. For the team to get worse would require a big regression on defense that I don't expect to happen.

    2023-24 Celtics

    Christmas Day, 1985, Madison Square Garden, Celtics blow a 25-point third-quarter lead and wind up losing in doubt OT to the Knicks. https://www.espn.com/boston/nba/story/_/id/7386155/boston-celtics-new-york-knicks-1985-christmas-flashback

    I'd take the over for the Pats.

    2023-24 Celtics

    There is a play with about 8 minutes left where Jayson Tatum, not really being pressured, walks the ball up the court so slowly he gets called for an 8 second violation. Their approach to a late game rockfight is basically slowing the pace as much as they possibly can and then four guys watching...

    Pritchard Extended

    This is the craziest stat I have seen in a while. View: https://twitter.com/taylorcsnow/status/1772302763231211665?s=20 White's last 5 games: 94 PTS, 40 AST, 5 TOV Pritchard's last 5 games: 91 PTS, 40 AST, 5 TOV The crazy part: they're the only 2 players in Celtics history to score over 90...

    2023-24 Celtics

    But, at the same time, one of his 50 point games lives is losty in the play in game ether, neither a playoff game nor a regular season one.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    The Atheltic has another mock draft out, this one has the Pats standing pat and drafting... JJ McCarthy at #3. https://theathletic.com/5361949/2024/03/25/nfl-mock-draft-quarterbacks-2024/ There’s no such thing as draft risers and fallers outside of a handful of injury, play-time or limited...

    2023-24 Celtics

    If we end up playing Denver in the finals, it will be a real test of whether it is better to be the team with the best player on the floor (Denver with Jokic) versus the team with more top players on the floor and the better top 6 (clearly Boston).

    Xavier Tillman to Celtics for 2 2nd round picks

    I think his play has ebbed as the Celtics have started the regular resting of veterans. I think he tended to fit better in lineups with 3-4 of our top 6 than in the various types of lineups that have been playing more recently. I think he'll be fine - though his role will be small, maybe...

    Doogie does defense, the Sam Hauser thread

    Last night in the 4th, after Hauser went 5-6 through the first 3 quarters, Chicago made some real defensive effort to stay on him. He's improved his ability to come around screens, step into the shot, etc. He's been above 40% each year but now he is doing that on a more difficult shot selection.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    The Athletic posted another beat writer mock and this one had the Patriots trading down with the Vikings. After WIlson and Daniels went #1 and #2, the Pats traded #3 to the Vikings for #11, #23, a 2025 1st, and a 2026 2nd...

    Pritchard Extended

    I'm still skeptical of PP in the playoffs. I think his minutes will be down and his usage will be more matchup based. And the Celtics will play more double big with Brown sliding to guard when one of White or Holiday is out. I like him though. Glad we have him locked up for 3 more years.

    Pritchard Extended

    This. You get the best of both worlds with him. He pushes, but if there isn't a play to be made he will pull it back out and reset.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    We could even give this player a name: say, "Damien Harris." That has a nice ring to it.

    That's not exactly what I was saying. I don't think he went home satisfied.

    Patriots sign WR KJ Osborn

    Here's the thing. How do you compare the production of a KJ Osborn type to Jacoby Meyers? Meyers was that Pats #4 WR (by targets) in 2019, then their #1 for 3 years, then he went to Vegas and was the #2 behind Davante Adams. KJ Osborn got zero offensive snaps as a rookie, and was the #3 WR in...
