    Raptors' Jontay Porter banned from NBA for betting on games

    Fortunately Porter can always make it back to the league as a referee.

    The Krafts

    I don't think Patriots (or Red Sox) ownership should be complaining about management. It's an embarrassment that they are after the last few decades of ridiculous success.

    Tatum or Ant?

    Is it also fair to perceive Tatum as someone young to be the best player on a championship team with signature playoff performances in Milwaukee and Philadelphia the last two postseasons that were interrupted by injuries?

    Tatum or Ant?

    I don’t disagree. That’s why I continue to emphasize the word “perception.” Fair or not, the Celtics generally and Tatum specifically are perceived to be soft and coming up short in key moments. Any “Tatum or alternate” debate is going to introduce a candidate who is reputed to be a more...

    Tatum or Ant?

    I don’t think it’s a “count the winz” contest but rather the perception of who you want to have with the ball in his hands for late and close situations.

    Tatum or Ant?

    The perception is that Luka is a closer, where the optics for Tatum have been less flattering. How many games has he won late against the Celtics alone? With Edwards, the argument will primarily be that he is an alpha male apex predator with a nasty streak unlike Tatum’s clean image and...

    SS possibilities going forward

    Grissom basically had no Spring Training and is moving to a new position. I can’t imagine that he will be rushed up to the majors in anything close to 1 week.

    SS possibilities going forward

    Facts not in evidence. None of these guys has shown himself to be a guy you want out there every day or a workable solution. All should get opportunities to do so, and playing time should be allotted to those who continue to earn it.

    What Was The Red Sox Starting Lineup For Your First Home Opener in Person?

    Quite a few, as the weather was pretty raw. But I wasn't leaving, as I had flown in from Florida for my first home opener. And when I saw Slocumb warming up, I turned to Cheri and said, "we've still got a chance!" If I remember correctly, Giff took me to a Celtics victory over the Magic later...

    What Was The Red Sox Starting Lineup For Your First Home Opener in Person?

    I can close my eyes and still see @BoSoxLady jumping up and down like a schoolgirl.

    Brad Stevens: President of Basketball Ops

    I’ve been thinking lately about posting on the subject, but it really is incredible. I remember the summer of 2019 when Kyrie and Al left and I was struggling to see the path forward. We had used up our cache of acquired draft picks and didn’t look to be in position to select an impact player...

    Pritchard Extended

    Wrong thread perhaps, but assuming that Al ages at some point, do you want Tillman (albeit with a different skill set) assuming his role?

    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    I would hope that Hamilton is here as depth and a late inning pinch runner while Story is being evaluated and a longer-better term plan is formulated.

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    It‘s maybe also worth mentioning that Grissom is going to need a rehab assignment at AAA shortly, and that Yorke’s spot in Worcester should open when Vaughn joins the big league squad.

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    No campaign for McCarthy is being built on “game tape.” Instead, it’s a combination of pedigree as a five-star recruit, physical tools as measured at the combine, contributions to team success with the national championship , and perceptions of intangibles such as toughness and leadership...
