    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    The way I read some of the posts, there seem to be some posters who think that athletes who are worth millions or hundreds of millions or even more than that should have the infrastructure in place to prevent someone from making multiple (9) wires of $500,000 to a bookie without the athlete's...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Ehh, not saying you're wrong - we may well have different interpretations of what people have posted. No worries.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Not sure what you are trying to say. But at the end of the day, I think we agree that there's not enough facts to have any idea what really happened. I do agree with Charger (and disagree with BSF) - there seems to be people in this thread (not you specifically) who have a hard time...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I think everyone understands and no one needs to be convinced that some rich people play outside the rules. But that doesn’t mean it did or didn’t happen here. All of this talk is fan fiction.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Ime Udoka is now 23-4 in the month of March (11-3 with BOS; 12-1 with HOU). I wonder if that's some kind of record (for coaching winning percentage for any single month).

    I also have no idea what really happened. But in case people find these stories interesting, there's also the story of Allen Iverson, who blew through $200M: https://www.basketballnetwork.net/off-the-court/how-allen-iverson-threw-200-million-down-the-drain-bro-you-can-have-my-bentley. How...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Not saying that Ohtani is guiltless - we just don't have enough information. But professional athletes - who have spent their lives doing literally almost nothing else than trying to excel at their sport and often has a background that does not include financial literacy - often turn to...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I just wanted to echo this. I'm more familiar with the spending habits of NBA players versus baseball players but professional athletes have so much more money but also so little financial experience compared to an average SOSHer that it's hard for any of us to understand that lifestyle. I...

    Of course. It is certainly unlikely that BOS will shoot under 33% in any series, particularly given how much better of a shooting team this team is. I think we all agree that if BOS shoots over (for example) 38% for any playoff series, they are winning that series. Which is how I am hoping...

    was it that long ago when BOS shot 30.3% over a seven-game series, with each game being: 34.5%, 28.6%, 26.2%, 40%, 41%, 20%, and 21.4%? :)

    3/25 - Celtics @ Hawks

    Last year Joe said that he was going to play the starters more minutes in the games they played to simulate the playoffs. I think Joe believes the best rest is getting the night off; if guys are playing, they will be playing big minutes (unless a blowout).

    Jrue the Damaja

    Jrue gives more info on his shoulder here: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/03/25/sports/celtics-holiday-shoulder/. It's kind of weird what he's saying - his shoulder is fine; it's not a dead arm; it's not a nerve thing; he can move it and everything; but it still "bugs [him] a little bit" and...

    It would be interesting to know how many leads that DEN has blown at full strength. I know the DAL game is one. Upon further reflection, I think the issue to me is that BOS doesn't seem to know how it should play when it comes down to crunch time. Contrast that to DEN, which knows exactly...

    Karalis made this point so h/t to him but as we all know, the Cs have a historic offense, based primarily on a TS% that is #1 in the league (61%). We also know that the Cs lead everyone in 1Q offensive statistics. The Cs are 9th in the league in 1Q pace 102.03 (they have a TS% of 62.6%)...

    Doogie does defense, the Sam Hauser thread

    Basically, you're asking if Sam is going to break Steph's record of 402 3Ps in a season. Let's hope so!
