    A while ago, I noted here that the Celtics have the best record in the league in games in which they trail at halftime.

    I couldn't watch the game (blacked out on the NBA app in Seattle), but they only had 3 turnovers?

    What do you think they mean by "You, of all people". Does Scal have some history with neonazis? Or is it just because he has a public voice?
