    2019-2020 Celtics Regular Season Thread

    Philly is in big trouble without Simmons. Who is the next best ball handler? Horford? Simmons is one of the best creators in the league with his ability to pass out to shooters. Their offense will be slow and messy without him handling the ball. Defense might be worse, especially against the Cs...

    Rethinking Barstool?

    Barstool sold a majority stake in 2016, Portnoy became chief of content and probably held a large percentage of shares. The Penn National investments was $168M and valued Barstool at $450M. He is certainly rich but less rich than I think most people would assume. This Wikipedia article has a...

    10-Day Targets

    I went to a bunch of those 12-13 Red Claws game and remember Silas well. He was a decent ball handler but I don't remember him scoring much. Of course this was the season the Red Claws were running a lot of offense for Fab Melo so it was hard to get a read on the other players.

    Round 2 Celtics vs. Wizards

    Also reminded me of Pierce/Lebron a bit. Tough to rank the performance in terms of Celtics history right now. As a player though, last night solidified IT's place in the league. Tons of current/former players talking about him on Twitter, etc.

    Jaylen Brown - underrated?

    He clearly has relied on his athleticism to succeed before and that shows. Everything i've read and seen from him shows he is very smart and understands his role, the teams position, etc. That is outlined here pretty well...
