    Following Former Celtics & Cs Nostalgia

    I occasionally see stuff about the Big 3 Era guys, or updates about recent Cs whom we're still wishing well, and there's nowhere to put it - everywhere is an awkward fit, whether it's the General NBA thread or the Celtics 2023-24 thread. I'll start off here with a couple. Sad: Paul Pierce's LA...

    Do we need a Celtics Announcing thread?

    Guys, I tend to look off the random asides in game threads about something silly (or funny) Scal says on the broadcast. And Mike Gorman is generally the pleasant storytelling bar patron, helping you enjoy your evening a bit more (unless he's making news by saying something rather out of...

    Celtics Day Game Today

    We need a thread to bump whenever the Cs play at not-the-eveningtime. I missed watching that Orlando game around New Years live because it didn't compute that we'd play with the sun still up. We play @ Miami at 2:00pm ET today, i.e. an hour and change from now. Sunday March 3rd, our rematch...

    The Deep (Bench) State 2023-24: Depth Charges

    So with our rotation fairly fixed, and 33 games gone in the regular season, I'd say we have an opportunity now (and enough tape) to evaluate how the rest of our roster looks. We all know the Celtics' Top 6, with key rotation players Hauser, Pritchard and Kornet, pretty much in that order...

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

    You've all seen the breakdowns for tournament advancement. We gotta win, and win big, or we're out. Luckily, the Bulls suck and the Celtics are the balls. I wouldn't want to be Chicago tonight.

    Celtics midseason acquisition options 2023-24

    We've had a lot of chatter about e.g. Kelly Olynyk and other possible buyout candidates or free agents in various other threads. Let's gather them together. After all, we do have an open roster slot. One I've seen discussed before is Will Barton, a 6'6" ball handling wing. I don't think he'd...

    NBA In-Season Tournament 2023 Discussion and Gamethread

    We need one. I edited the Wikipedia page for the 2023 event the other day (also note the general page for it), so I'm mildly emotionally committed and might as well start the thread. Here is our previous thread from July on the proposal and format evolution. I'll quote a few of the more...

    NBA Rules, Reffing and Enforcement

    We badly need a thread for this stuff (...and let me move my reply to make one!), because this is one of those massive gray areas in how I understand where the line is drawn between allowable contact and the balance between "being stronger than your opponent and muscling them around" and...

    Russell Nua, Red Sox secret weapon

    A great MLB.com article on a guy with 5 WS championship rings (4 of them with the Sox), who you've never heard of. And it involves a funny Manny Ramirez story! https://www.mlb.com/news/russell-nua-massage-therapist-world-series-rings He was brought around with the Diamondbacks in 2001, and...

    Green Zinger Tea - Kristaps Porziņģis 2023-24

    The trade thread is covering old news, and it's a new season. The man is going to deserve his own thread. Already does, imo. From the G1 thread: Both great points. And it makes me wonder, how many Centers (nevermind seven-footers) do you have to guard at the perimeter in the league? Like...

    Patriots "Hair HOF" nominees

    In the Chase Winovich thread: Can't argue with that, he had a real Thor thing going on. Who else belongs in the Pats Hair Hall of Fame? All nominees must be accompanied by at least one picture. We haven't been graced by Richard Sherman or Troy Polamalu, but we've had some pretty good...

    Biogenesis: New revelations, new names

    Although the main events happened a decade ago, ESPN's investigative arm has obtained 1400 pages of DEA documents from their investigation and done a bunch of interviews and uncovered new names of athletes who were involved. It's a good read. It's broken into a bunch of sub-stories, each with...
