    Sons, Sam, and Horn, L.L.P.: Brady Case LEGAL ISSUES Only

    Huh, law school exam question.  Could the judge make that order?  First amendment is meant to stop the _government_ from stifling free speech.  Is the judge the government?  I suppose he is, just a different branch... but what if it is a mutually agreed upon negotiated resolution?

    2015 Celtics Draft Picks

    Wow it is dead in here.  I thought for sure there would be more chatter about the picks, and not a single thread yet for any of them.   Came to share at least one link.  This Rozier kid is growing on me; ...

    NBA Draft Game Thread (Spoilers allowed)

    The only guy on the team that could consistently create his own offense when things broke down last year was Thomas.  With these picks it looks like Danny added a little more dynamics to the offense.  Both players can create opportunities when things go south.   They both also project as players...

    2015 NBA Draft Thread-Choke For Oak?

    This Sullinger news is pretty good.  There is some real action to be had at 9.  WCS, Kaminsky, Hezonja may slide that far and/or rocket up and let someone else slide.  I'm game.

    2015 NBA Draft Thread-Choke For Oak?

    I'd be a little bummed if Boogie goes to LA just because I don't want to see LA turn the corner that quickly and I think Boogie has the chance to get his act together and dominate.  I'd much rather LA signs Aldridge at funny money.  That being said, Boogie in LA does have the potential for drama...

    Isaiah Thomas traded to the Celtics

    Gosh.  It's like the anti-thesis of the prior pre KG and RA dark days.  Yes things are dark and this is a lottery team, but they've got legit young NBA quality talent and a war chest of picks and salary space.  I've got the faith in trader Danny, we're going to pull this off.  Also, I'm so glad...

    Isaiah Thomas traded to the Celtics

    Well this does jive with Danny's comment about adding talent.   Young (26), team friendly contract, proven NBA talent and we gave up just a late 1st rounder.  Hard to dislike this trade.  I guess the roster fit is a question mark, but I agree upthread that he can coexist with Smart and Bradley.

    Celtics trade Rondo to Dallas

      Well I agree with ya Johnny... he isn't so bad.  A cooling off period may be better then an outright ban. Just my .02 as well.

    Celtics Interested In Evan Turner?

    I'm not seeing the year(s)?  It is just one, right? (I hope)   If this means the end of the Green/ Rondo era is coming soon, I hope so.  All of these anticipatory moves are making me antsy.

    NBA Proposes Draft Lottery Reform

    Bingo.     If you think about it, the NBA is arguably the most selective of the American pro sports in terms of body types.  We are talking an incredibly small percentage of the population.  There are also only 5 positions to fill.  The % of people out there that are 6' + and have the ability to...

    Kevin Love News and Rumors

    Nope.  I was wrong.  30 days is right.  I still wouldn't do it.  I don't think Love will commit to a long term deal.  This team is too far away.  Smart for a rental isn't worth it.

    Kevin Love News and Rumors

    Not if I'm reading this right.    We could've traded the right to sign Smart, but now that we've signed him I think the rules are different.  Fine by me, I've talked myself into the pick.

    NBA planning midseason tourney?

    Anything to break up the monotony of 82 games.  They should just pare it down by about 20 games.

    Kevin Love News and Rumors

    I don't think we can trade Smart now that he has signed.
