    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    Wow, before seeing the Nurse timeout video I assumed it was just another incident of poor refereeing, but I should have known better that it is just Philly and their fans complaining that they lost a game. Nurse raises his hands and clearly holds them apart, ready to call timeout but never...

    2023-24 Celtics

    The Luka love is so weird because we can so easily see how guys like Porzingis and Brunson played worse with him and immediately got much better on different teams. Yet people still marvel at how great he is despite "having no help." In an alternate reality where Luka and Jaylen were teammates...

    Jaylen Brown: Will he be enough in Year 8?

    The local Arizona recap of Mazzula's defense there is awesome. One guy is oddly angry and the other is not matching his energy. View: https://streamable.com/twlnsf

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    The "Tatum has a great team" argument against his MVP case really annoys me when someone then places Luka above him, since they're ignoring that Luka is a big part of the problem in Dallas. Dallas has had talent, but talent either does not work alongside Luka (Porzingis) or isn't able to develop...

    The trouble with Kobe. An Appology

    I am very aware of how faulty memory is, so I would like to discuss some memories here and see what others remember of the same times. I remember Kobe post-rape as floundering. I remember media members actually doing their job and regularly asking him about it, and I remember it clearly...

    Everybody Hates Draymond

    I don't know how anyone can look at that and say he's going for the ball. I can't say he was swinging for the face either, but I can say that is not how you go for the ball. Maybe it's the swing that's the problem, and why we can't collectively make sense of it. From my perspective, anyone...

    Kristaps Porzingis to Celtics!!!!!

    For anyone that wasn't watching it looked like a run-of-the-mill ankle roll and he dropped before it rolled too far. I was annoyed that the announcers were making such a big deal of it and not pointing out that anyone who has played has done that a bunch of times, and often played on it 15...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Wow, I think people in here are failing to draw the distinction between a team being good and a team being a threat to this Celtics team in the playoffs. Yes it would be nice to face all bad teams in the playoffs, but I will happily settle for facing good teams that aren't real threats like...

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    The OT didn't help, but I'm hesitant to let the NBA off the hook without noting that last night was Boston's 5th game in 7 days. It was a recipe for a bad national TV game even without the OT the night before.

    2024 Port Cellar New Years Resolutions

    I resolve to not overreact every time Porzingis misses a regular season game.

    Thank you, Danny Ainge

    The reason why Giannis is relevant to the KO pick is that he was on the board and many Boston fans wanted him with the KO pick. No one wanted Jokic at the Smart pick. Also, the Celtics were rebuilding and a high upside pick arguably made a lot more sense than a high floor, low ceiling player...

    Thank you, Marcus

    This is a terrible way to wake up. Smart was my favorite Celtic, and I have disliked Porzingis's game for a long time. That said, just yesterday I told someone that there's something wrong with this Celtics squad and they might never get over the hump, and that I'm ok with that. I'll enjoy...

    Off-day Sacrilegious Poll: Who would you trade Tatum for?

    Jokic and Giannis. And I agree with Euclis20 that I can't fathom picking Embiid over Tatum. He's 29, comes into every season out of shape, and has a littany of lower body injuries. With his size you're getting, what, maybe 3 elite years if you're lucky? He might not even be in the league in 5...

    2022-2023 General Celtics thread

    I completely agree with you on the penalty at the end of the Chiefs game yesterday, it was blatant the refs had to call it. I blame the stupid defender for hitting a guy with two feet out of bounds. I disagree with you on the LeBron play, and I gave 3 examples in my earlier post of what...

    2022-2023 General Celtics thread

    The thing about the LeBron drive at the end of regulation that no one is talking about for some dumb reason, is that everyone knows that refs don't blow the whistle in that situation unless it is particularly egregious. There's a reason why everyone shoots jumpshots at the end of games, and that...

    The Unikornet

    Yes, in a playoff series it wouldn't work very long and the Lakers would be able to attack it after looking at tape between games. But in a regular season game where you're missing your best two bigs, it was an effective adjustment. It isn't the kind of adjustment that turns a season around...

    2022-23 NBA Game Thread

    Using code NBA50. I signed up yesterday and the site said $50. When I clicked through it was $100. I had to look around to find the code. It's a fantastic deal this early in the season.

    Kyrie is dirty rotten no good and we have schadenfreude…?

    Any chance this is just someone who paid $8 for a blue checkmark in order to impersonate Jaylen? I love that I can credibly ask this question.

    Watson to Cleveland

    He did initially apologize, though it's reasonable to assume that it was a term of the settlement. And over the years his story changed and "the incident in Colorado" became a trial he had to overcome, and essentially cast himself as a victim.

    Celtics vs. Bucks, Round 2 Discussion

    There's a good conversation to be had here about just how important proper hydration is, but I don't want to sidetrack things too much. I'll just say that at some point in my 30s I really started noticing the difference proper hydration makes, and in my 40s it makes a big enough difference that...
