    Already did a week before - it was great being only 4 hours ahead. Back to 5 now though…

    11/10 -- Flames @ Bruins

    They’ll explode for 2 quick goals in the next 15 minutes or so. Unfortunately it’s a bit late here in London and I can’t wait up for it.

    Dunno- I think Ferm looks pretty fit… [edit: unspell-checking Ferm’s name]

    Celtics vs. Warriors, NBA Finals

    I looked up the overall HTH results (i.e. regardless of H/A) and the C's are the only franchise with a winning record over the W's and are one of 3 with a positive scoring margin: Since 2015 (incl playoffs): BOS 9-7 +63 +3.9/g TOR 9-12 +45 +2.1/g MIL 6-9 +15 +1.0/g UTA 17-21 -32 -0.8/g...

    Beyond The Bubble - Official 2021-22 NBA Betting Thread

    Seems to me if you're of the opinion that the W's win G1 but the C's win the series you sell the W's series (I see it trading 1.72 on Betfair) at 40% more notional than you buy W's G1 (available at 1.63). If you're right about G1 and the W's win it you put the rest of your intended amount of the...

    Celtics vs. Heat, Round 3 Discussion

    Winning Game 1 is absolutely critical for having a chance at a sweep. In fact, if they let G1 slip away I’d have to say there’s just no way you can expect a sweep, no matter what they do the rest of the way. Of course, even if they pull it out Tuesday night, they would still have to bring it in...

    Celtics vs. Bucks, Round 2 Discussion

    I'm enjoying these playoffs immensely as I don't get to see too many games over here during the regular season. One question for those of you far more familiar with the team and Ime's coaching strategy - why has Theis been completely left for dead in this series? I would think that with the...

    Red Sox in season discussion

    It’s amazing to me how many people don’t understand this. A vaccine boosts your immunity - it makes it less likely for you to catch a disease if you’re exposed to it. But it’s not 100% effective for any individual- that’s true for all vaccines. But if a critical percentage of the population gets...

    Red Sox in season discussion

    Maybe, but then you'll get millionaire athletes paying for fake certificates that indicate they had already had Covid (a la Novax Djokovic). Much better to have a simple policy that applies the same way to everyone. It was one thing when vaccines were new and not easy to get everywhere, but now...

    Chris Sale aiming to return

    I kind of felt this way last year as well, but I think it's not all bad that Sale starts the year late. It's a long season and even before his injury he hadn't been known for his ability to approach 200IP with the same vigor with which he begins the season. Last year I was lucky enough to attend...
