    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    I root for the laundry. As long as Mazzulla is not doing anything dangerous or putting others at risk I'm okay. Whatever he is doing it is working. He seems leaps and bounds ahead of where he was last season in terms of leadership competence. He has the league's best starting five (and a damn...

    2023-24 Celtics

    Quite a story line. We'll see how it plays out but if they don't win a championship I may not consider it an all time choke but no doubt some will and it will probably become a common national narrative. Stakes are high. This will be fun.

    Tatum or Ant?

    I do think this speaks to Tatum prioritizing getting a championship this season over individual accolades. I believe he has said he would love to win an MVP however I think all of the top 6 are well aligned that an NBA championship is what all of them are focused on.

    Not a good 2nd quarter for the Maine Celtics but the Brad Stevens interview at halftime is interesting.

    If You Want Big Air, Pull My Finger - Ski and Ride 23-24

    I will almost certainly be back. So many great mountains in the area to explore. Loveland looked pretty fantastic from the road and I would like to check out Breckenridge as well. A snowcat trip out of Breckenridge is on my wish list.

    If You Want Big Air, Pull My Finger - Ski and Ride 23-24

    Copper was awesome. Feels like a place that has something for everyone. It was also nearly deserted which was great. A Basin was a lot of fun. A bunch of massive wide open bowls above the tree line and lots of good runs through the trees at lower elevation. I could see how it would be an...

    Isn’t he going to call the first round of the playoffs? I’m going to miss it as well and thought it was not his final final broadcast.
