    Yes, I'm dumb.

    I co-sign this. I don't think Bob Myers is a particularly good GM, either. He inherited Curry. Totally blowing the number one pick on Wiseman is further proof of that.

    2022-2023 General Celtics thread

    Because he's been used judiciously by coaches in favorable matchups. He played 14 MPG in OKC over the last 4 years on bad teams. He's a limited, rotational big who is going to be exposed in starter minutes.

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top: The Man is Non-stop

    Tatum shot 33% from 3 for his first 59 games last season, him improving on that after the break was not a particularly high bar to clear, so I think Karalis is off the mark here. He's gone through long stretches of poor shooting before, he shot terribly for the majority of last season and then...

    Grant “Corner Office” Williams

    I was being hyperbolic, but there was concern about acquiring Theis because he had two years remaining on his contract and that might make him more difficult to move without stapling assets to him. In the grand scheme of things, he ended up being traded with a possible draft bust and what will...

    Grant “Corner Office” Williams

    I agree with this, Grant is a better player than he is getting credit for here. I feel like some posters struggle to properly evaluate the talent and value of roleplayers. I'm remembering the "DANIEL THEIS IS AN ALBATROSS" stuff from last year and then he ends up being a piece of a package to...

    2/14 Another O/U of 1.5 on regular starters

    Still, this is hysterical. They were supposed to lose this game and they took it to overtime. This is exculpatory for the coach. Any other take is moron tier. Sorry.

    2/14 Another O/U of 1.5 on regular starters

    These kinds of posts are embarrassing. I know it's a game thread. You took the 2 seed to overtime missing 4 starters. Lol. Have some perspective.

    Payton Pritchard: Season Savior

    Sure, but that makes sense, doesn't it? Smart, White and Brogdon are all so much better than him. Aaron Nesmith has started 40 games this season for the Pacers, he has already surpassed the number of regular season minutes he played in his entire Celtics career. I haven't watched Nesmith much...

    Celtics acquire Mike Muscala

    I dig that, and while others may dismiss it, it says something about OKC and Muscala that he would likely take less money to stay there. Sam Presti seems like a class act and a great GM, hopefully your 8,000,000 picks can get your team back to contention soon.

    Celtics acquire Mike Muscala

    Joe's offense is centered around producing open threes, 70% of Muscala's shot attempts over the last 4 seasons with OKC have been 3s and he's hit 39% of them (3.8 attempts per game). He's giving you a different look than Kornet in that respect, but he's not a player that's going to demand...

    Kyrie is dirty rotten no good and we have schadenfreude…?

    There's a pretty stark distinction between regular ass people ambivalently subscribing to Amazon Prime and a professional athlete with an enormous platform and significant influence in his community perpetuating antisemitic tropes. You're not doing much to disprove @Myt1 wrong about your need to...

    2022-23 NBA Game Thread

    This makes sense, LeBron isn't dumb, he knows he isn't winning a championship this season and it's legitimately possible he's done winning them for the rest of his career because he staked himself to an extremely lucky but (crucially) extremely stupid organization. So, he only has symbolic stuff...

    2022-23 NBA Game Thread

    Oh, I think he's genuinely upset about it and it was a terrible call, no question. That said, at some level he and the Lakers dupes in the media pushing this story understand that there's a way to get some mileage out of this in terms of referee sympathy moving forward. I'm not bashing him...

    2022-23 NBA Game Thread

    Isn't this just him trying to work the refs? That feels like classic LeBron. He already got that weepy apology from the NBA Refs account on Twitter. This will help push the Lakers into 1st place in incorrect calls in their favor.

    Joe Mazzulla, come on down.

    Paul Pierce played more minutes in his age-30 season across the regular season and playoffs than Tatum did last year. Pierce 07-08 Regular Season: 2874 Pierce 08 Playoffs: 990 Tatum 2021-2022 Regular Season: 2731 Tatum Playoffs 2022: 982 Pierce was 28th in minutes played in 07-08, Kobe was...

    Joe Mazzulla, come on down.

    This is a fair point, and two of their final four games are against Toronto, who may sell at the deadline and be actively trying to tank at that point. I can't track it down, but I remember Ime the former Celtics coach talking about how they were less concerned with MPG (like throttling Tatum...

    2022-2023 General Celtics thread

    Haven't you made the exact argument that @themuddychicken makes in the post above when folks have complained about these calls going the other way against the Celtics in the final seconds of games? That refs swallow their whistles in these situations and that you can't rely on getting to the...

    Joe Mazzulla, come on down.

    These people just need to look at this Twitter account regularly: https://mobile.twitter.com/notjustyourteam I think part of the issue is that most Celtics fans, and most NBA fans in general, just pay attention to their own team and end up creating dumb narratives about their teams (the...
