    What If you could change One (little?) thing.

    SO this got me thinking. Give me some of your thoughts SOSH. Like What if..... Wilt Shot FTs at 80%? Embiid wasnt always playoff hurt? Bird was slightly more athletic (quicker and higher jumper)? McHale had more muscle mass? Antoine had a better Shot? Rondo was a better shooter? (Fixed ...I...

    Giving Back and Net Rating

    I will admit that Basketball stats are a blind spot for me. And I may not be applying this correctly....But.... We talk alot about "PP getting hunted and is thus unplayable" (in the playoffs anyway). That infers to me that EVERYTIME down the court on Defense then PP gives up points...

    NBA Fa(c)T and Fiction

    So while buying some furniture for the house I visited a lazy boy store. While there the sales person was selling up the reliability of the product. One thing she mentioned was that they are great but that some people 300Lbs + are shouldnt expect a long life span (...of the product...). I...

    Cavalry Candidates

    I think We are about a month from when Trade activity could heat up. I believe that around the 10th of Jan some players begin to become eligible for trades (not just our but "theirs"). Regardless at some point in Jan or Feb we may well be looking to add to an already talented roster. So List...

    Apple Laptop Help

    So I have 2 HS Freshmen this year. Both have been provided School IPAD and Keyboards but hate them (and tbf they seem to suck for any kind longish paper work). So we are looking for a couple of affordable <$400 used/refurbed Apple Laptops. I am not afraid of refurbed especially from what I...

    Do the Celtics have an Image problem?

    So watching the national broadcaster (Jackson and VGundy and VanG and his partner) I have noticed they dont have much love for the celtics. Individually or as a team. They dont "Fawn" over them like other teams or players. Last night they DID say nice things about the Celts. (Great game by JT...

    So if Kemba is "good", whats that Make Evan?

    Wow. Fournier Sucks. Are European and Orlandos courts shifted 3 feet left? I dont think I have seen someone throw the ball to no one as often as him. And vaunted Shooter for the Jays? HA! He cant drive. He cant shoot. He cant pass. At this point I am not sure he can speak french.

    What to Do, What to Do?

    Trade Kemba and get some Payroll flexibility (HA!) and a better fit with the Js.- Probably not gonna Happen as Kemba is to Too expensive and too worrisome for any team to take him on without significant resources being stapled to him on the way out. Fire Brad- A decent enough move to shake...

    OK so its 2020 and the glass is half Empty. Lets say....Tatum never takes the (next) leap.

    Lets assume that Tatum is fully baked somewhere between Regular Season and Playoff Tatum last year. He is what he is. a 20-25 pt 7-8 rebound guy who is ok but not great passer. Still a very good Def player. Can this team be title contenders? Or are at best eastern conf final participants...

    Petri Dish-Combine NBA Players to make Transcendent NBA Players

    In another thread someone made the point that Jalen is an amazing athlete but with limited basketball feel. While GWilliams has great Feel but is limited athletically in the NBA. That made me contemplate what if you could combine them. Be a hell of a player. So here are the rules. Take 2...

    Have you ever seen....and would it bother you if...

    The Back court "violation" call made me ask myself... "What if the Refs didnt know an (obviously obscure) rule....and brought out a rule book to check. Would I mind?" Would you? And has this ever happened before in any sport you can recall? What level? I think I would be happier that they were...

    Greatest Redsox (pure) Hitters of all time

    So who is your top 11. (or 6 if your too busy) I dont believe there will be much debate about Williams at 1. After that??? Boggs? Yaz? Papi? Manny? Rice? Speaker? Evans? Foxx? Mine (though I am sure some of you will bring up names I totally missed). 2. Boggs 3. Manny 4. Papi 5. Evans 6...

    Kansas-K State Brawl

    Didnt watch it live, I only saw the last 10 seconds and subsequent fight. See it here I am curious who was more in the wrong as far as breach of basketball etiquette? (with the understanding that both teams should have controlled themselves) (And this might lead to an interesting discussion...

    2020 Pats Off-Season: The Succession Plan...No Not Him....or Him

    So Bob Kraft is 78. Granted medicine is amazing now. As I am sure is his medical care and quality of life. However its not out of the realm that in 1-2 or 3 years RK has either passed on, or is not up to the day to day operations of the Patriots. (maybe that time has been here and I missed...

    Goalie Training Suggestions

    So my daughter is the Goalie on her u12 team. She is pretty good. Partly from some talent, partly from having played Goalie for the last 3 seasons full time. So while other teams rotated girls through the position as a "Chore" IE "Ok Ann...you have to be goalie for the first half and...

    2019 Pats: Ages and Roster Breakdowns

    With the Trade Deadline looming and the possibilities of extensions and trading Draft Picks I thought it might be interesting to look at the roster compared to the average age of an NFL player, their "contribution" (*) and position. Here is my basic break down: Avg Age or Below ('94+) Butler...

    Vets who could be cut and might interest the Pats

    So did some google searches and found some of the following names. Delanie Walker TE Titans: He is under contract through 2020, and it clearly wouldn’t be easy for the Titans to cut him now, from a cap standpoint. The problem is, he’s 35 and he played just one game last year, after signing a...

    Simple Iphone Question

    So I have had an Iphone for about 6 months. I basically use it for some Pod Casts, some texting (2-5 a day) and a couple calls (2-5). I play an occasional time waster. I have used IPODs before and decided I wanted to add some music to the IPhone to play in the car. I am pretty inexperienced...

    Is 100 Years long enough? The Shoeless Joe Thread.

    I recently listened to a pod cast about the Black Sox. It brought up some interesting questions in regard to Shoeless Joe Jackson. We can certainly discuss his possible involvement in the Scandal. But I guess a better question is should the MLB HOF finally allow him in? Even 100 years later...
