    Hot and Not Hot Cs Takes...Will They Age Well?

    Continuing on the bench/roster construction discussion...There are only 240 minutes per night to dole out. The Jays will give you just under 40 per night, DWhite and Holiday are good for about 30-35, KP is probably coming in right around 30, and Al's gonna get about 25. That leaves about 40...

    What made Koji so great?

    I don't have much to add here, but that 2013 team could be my all-time favorite Sox team (all due respect to '04). The group had a lot of fun playing the game and it was infectious. It seemed to lead to wins (and a lot of them) and ignited a fan base that was pretty miserable after the debacle...

    Hot and Not Hot Cs Takes...Will They Age Well?

    I think the bench has two distinct problems . First, Hauser and Pritchard have not played up to expectations. Second, they don't work as a unit because it's almost entirely comprised of complementary players brought in to complement the Top 6 but lacking the NBA tools to work together as a unit...

    That is exactly what I meant but failed to add. I'm posting like it's almost 4PM on a Friday...

    Hot and Not Hot Cs Takes...Will They Age Well?

    Guard defense is elite. Brown's game is probably the one that is going to have to change the most to fit in with this new mix of players. He may be the second best scorer on the team but he's no longer the #2. The KP/JT two-man game is just too good. JB needs to study Rip Hamilton and the art...

    2023-24 Celtics

    Couple random thoughts and knee jerk reactions to a very large sample size of one game. I think KP or JT should be on the floor at all times. KP is such a threat when screening for the ball handler that he should create opportunities for guys who handle the ball as well as the shooters stashed...

    '23 AL Playoff Picture

    Last two nights are clear evidence of this. Plus the Astro's are a very smart team and they kept the pressure on the Sox and the Sox continued to cough up runs on mistakes. Doing what they need to do is already difficult enough, it's impossible when you can't manage the fundamentals.

    Thank you, Marcus

    I love Marcus. He bled green. He left it all on the court and he was great in the community. Watching him develop and mature from a hot headed tough youth to a respected grizzled vet was a privilege. I will miss watching him play. He was an enigma, a rollercoaster. A unique blend of hustle...

    The Celtics Offseason

    I'm probably VP of the WCJ to Boston club. That said, I can't see JB resigning in Orlando, so I can't see Orlando being willing to spend their assets in this manner. I like it for Boston though.

    He was just waived.

    The Celtics Offseason

    I think they have to look to find ways to upgrade their playmaking, shooting, and perimeter defense and lengthen their front court rotation. In an ideal world, I'd trade JB this offseason and use that to retool the roster. However, this is not an ideal world, it is one limited by the leagues...

    Jaylen Brown, Year 7

    I think they have to look to find ways to upgrade their playmaking, shooting, and perimeter defense and lengthen their front court rotation. I'm not sure how they accomplish that given the make up of the rest of the roster and their cap situation. In an ideal world, I'd trade JB this offseason...

    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    Thanks for sharing. That's pretty much my sentiment on this.
