    Pritchard Extended

    If they win a title this year, is there a precedent for this kind of move? I'm genuinely asking. How often do teams win a championship and then immediately let a key starter leave over money? I guess I also have to ask, what are you defining as "silly money"? I think paying him like...

    Dame Time heading to Milwaukee

    I think you're totally right on both counts. I posted that link because I'm amused by the weird double standard Danny Ainge was held to during his tenure here when things like this happen to every PBO/GM in the league. And, of course, Danny certainly never had the benefit of weather/food/night...

    Dame Time heading to Milwaukee

    I may have missed this earlier in the thread. But, I love reading that the Blazers never re-engaged the Heat in substantive trade talks after their initial conversations in July and just traded Lillard to the Bucks without talking to Miami again. I mean, who knows how true that is because I'm...

    Dame Time heading to Milwaukee

    This is the correct take, it feels like a very clear upgrade for the Bucks in a place where they desperately needed it. Jrue has been a 39% 3PT shooter in the regular season with Milwaukee, which drops to 30% in the playoffs. Strikes me as a guy who benefits from Giannis's gravity in the regular...

    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    I've been negative in this thread, but I agree. The Celtics are ludicrously more talented. If they play to their potential, they can still win this series.

    Consolidate Brogdon and Timelord into one good player and find an athletic big.

    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    The Celtics have two All-NBA players, 6th man of the year, a former DPOY and multiple All-Defense guys and they are losing to a team putting undrafted dudes, the Weekend at Bernies version of Kevin Love, and Cody Zeller on the floor. This is on the players. And I think Brogdon isn't the player I...

    Celtics vs Heat ECF Redux Discussion Thread

    They are losing to a team that is playing a gray haired Kevin Love. This is on the players. They actually have to execute and win the game. They may need a new coach, but maybe they need to trade the antisemite for someone who can score consistently in the playoffs. I think SoSH is full of...

    Game 1: Come Tomorrow, Wake Up Anew, See the Sun.

    He gets tunnel vision and looks for his own shot a bit too much.

    Doc Rivers fired as 76ers coach

    I agree. We have to assume that Doc was fired to appease Harden and that part of Morey's pitch must be to allow Harden to help pick the next coach. And, I'm not sure they're entirely wrong to do that, though others will disagree. This franchise is in a really tough spot in any direction they...

    Celtics sign Al Horford to a 2-year extension

    I mean, Matisse Thybulle has more All Defense awards, including a season where he played 20 MPG. The voting on that award has been dogshit around the margins pretty consistently. Al should have been on 4-5 more teams and deserved to be a DPOY finalist a few times. He has been a crucial part of...

    Celtics sign Al Horford to a 2-year extension

    I don't entirely disagree, my point isn't that he should win DPOY. He should have won several more All-Defense awards, which would bolster his HOF case. My point is that Rudy Gobert and guys like him should not have as many awards as they do.

    Celtics vs 76ers, Round 2 Discussion

    This is a franchise that was convinced they could like litigate themselves to conference finals. And I say this as someone who likes and is entertained by Embiid.

    Celtics sign Al Horford to a 2-year extension

    This is why the discourse around the All Defense and DPOY stuff is so dumb. Lots of media people feel like rim protection is more quantifiable analytically than what guys like Al and Draymond bring, and so we end up with Gobert as 3 time DPOY. More egregious is a guy like Pat Beverly having more...

    Celtics sign Al Horford to a 2-year extension

    View: https://twitter.com/HPbasketball/status/1657873045900644355?cxt=HHwWhsDS-Yuw-YEuAAAA I feel similarly. The fact the Horford has only made one All-Defense team in his career is a joke. I was thinking today he's the anti-Gobert. A dude who gets no regular season award love whose defense...

    How many bad games is he allowed to have in the next round before someone calls him soft again?

    The I Love Marcus Smart Thread

    Posters will say Brogdon (who threw away Game 1) or White should close over Marcus or play more. Are any of those posters going to eat shit tonight? Probably not, but still.

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Sometimes great players are bad in the playoffs? Look at LeBron's performance in the 2011 Finals, including Game 4 where he scored 8 points. I'm not putting Tatum on LeBron's level, but even a player in the GOAT conversation had an entire playoff series where he wasn't himself. I wasn't paying...

    Celtics vs 76ers, Round 2 Discussion

    Yes, a huge part of why they lost is that Malcolm Brogdon threw the ball away. Regardless of the shot clock rationale, his mistake swung the game to the 76ers. They win this series in 6.

    Game 1 vs. Philadelphia—Just Win

    Can't imagine how some posters would react if Marcus did what Brogdon just did, lol.
