    Pritchard Extended

    Thank goodness they have him under contract for a while. It's now a very team-friendly deal.

    Pritchard Extended

    Pritchard is so improved from last season it's ridiculous. I'm not used to see someone get both stronger and quicker, but has gained significantly in both ways. At the beginning of the season he would dribble into the paint near the basket and then seemingly have no idea what to do next. Now...

    Following Former Celtics & Cs Nostalgia

    Oddly, I was at the game when he collapsed. In that game -- and that game only -- he looked like Michael Jordan until he crumbled. Otherwise, he was very good but not great.

    2023-24 Celtics

    I'm with you, and that's why watching even these last games against bad teams is appointment viewing. This team doesn't have Larry Bird or Kevin Garnett, but the overall talent 1 - 9 is about as good as any Celtics team I have seen. I keep thinking how much better Luke Kornet is than Greg...

    2023-24 Celtics

    Denver would be a problem. I don't think any other team could beat them, although the Clippers could make it a series.

    Now that's impressive.

    Rate the Mayo Hire

    Neutral. I don't see how we can rate this, especially since even last year he was not even the defensive coordinator - he shared that with Steve B. So I said "neutral". I eagerly await news on the hiring of the GM.

    12/20 Darken the Beam

    As often happens, I watched the game last night and read the game thread today. Both were highly entertaining. The Globe used to say "The game's not over till the Globe's here". I feel that way about the game threads. They let me enjoy the game all over again. Thanks to all who contribute.

    Jaylen Brown: Will he be enough in Year 8?

    It's great to see that the big contract has not led to a diminished effort. He's going full blast on offense and defense, and he's still learning to play better.

    Maye I Start Another? Pats! Steelers! Thursday!

    I am sorry to hear about FL4WL3SS and 54thMA and their family health problems and wish them and their parents the best. I have a question about the game. In the 4th quarter, the Steelers blocked a Patriots punt. It was 4th and 2 from about the 18 yard line. The blocked punt went forward and...

    Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

    Carolina only down by 4 points heading into halftime. A man can dream.

    Who do YOU want Pats to end up with in draft?

    I'd take a flyer on Fields in the off season when the Bears look to get rid of him in favor of their newly drafted QB binkie.

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

    I'm coming around to believing that. Hauser's emergence as a pretty decent 3 and D guy is a pleasant surprise and has bumped PP and Kornet down the depth charts. As #8 and #9, they aren't bad.

    Official Patriots 2024 Draft Pick Watch Thread (#3)

    Which is why I'd prefer that they draft MHJ given the chance. He seems like a sure thing at a position of great importance; QBs are a risk.

    Irrational exuberance: The Neemias Queta thread

    Kornet also has his hands on many potential rebounds that he doesn't hold on to. They bounce off of his hands. Queta seems to grab them better.
