    2023-24 Celtics

    Do we want a separate series thread, or do we want to keep series discussion right here?

    2023-24 Celtics

    So when should we have @Ale Xander start the G1 thread? Start of the 4th? Midway through the 3rd? It's not like the outcome is in doubt.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    No matter what else is said about this game, Coby White has the most resplendent bouffant of hair in the whole league. Fire Polamalu, hire this guy.

    The WNBA: Thread II

    That's a great post, @BaseballJones . I love the selected stats. You could throw the draft-viewership-by-year chart from the other day onto the evidence pile, too. That one was jaw-dropping for me. I've never watched a sports draft in my life despite being a pretty big sports fan, it's...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (3) Minnesota Timberwolves vs (6) Phoenix Suns

    Scal was making that same point, in a different way, about Embiid yesterday on his Sirius XM show. People were calling in asking why it takes Embiid so long to get into game shape after being out, like it's been weeks. And Scal was sympathetic to those complaints, like - "look, I don't know...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    Maybe he just watched the climactic montage at the end of The Godfather where the guy gets locked into the revolving door before being shot into swiss cheese. Like, it could just be a phobia.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (4) LA Clippers vs (5) Dallas Mavericks

    Maybe they should have put Kawhi on the Porzingis / Horford rest plan. Kawhi 's season: - played 27 games straight - 4 games out hurt - played 41 of the next 43 games - out hurt for the last 8 games of the season, and now at least part of the playoffs Gotta lay some of the blame on management...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (4) Cleveland Cavaliers vs (5) Orlando Magic

    A lot of people will be watching Game 1 tomorrow, at least, for the simple fact that it's the first NBA playoff game.

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    As said many times in this thread: yeah, he's a psycho, but he's our psycho. At least Mazz has, like, a normal family life. I'm not sure Thibs has even dated anybody in the last 20 years, he's married to the job.

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

    Jrue certainly comes to mind, in terms of being able to truly guard 1-5, but I won't gainsay a Knick fan who thinks Anunoby is a better defender than Jrue right now. There was a time you could say the same about Al Horford, too - but either way, it's certainly rare, you're quite right.

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

    I was going to say, Celtics fans would probably point out that Thibs was the defensive coach for the Big Three era Celtics, so he's had some talent to work with over the years... but then I went over to Darko and saw that Anunoby has a higher D-DPM right now (nearing 2) than Paul Pierce ever had...

    More on the Clark Messi effect, from Front Office Sports: --- The Caitlin Clark roadshow will likely end up being an expensive one, too.
