    2024-2025 Sixers: Facialing Reality

    Seeing how much Philly fans hate Horford is one of the few things that can bring me joy and peace these days.

    2024-2025 Sixers: Facialing Reality

    I would love to watch the 30 for 30 on the Process Sixers when this is all said and done.

    General Celtics thread: 24-25 edition

    Most of the lobs have felt really off. I am open to that being something about the receiver (positioning, route, timing, etc) particularly because Queta is the one common factor, but my 'in the moment' has been poor accuracy on the lobs.

    2024-2025 Sixers: Facialing Reality

    If Embiid ever wins a ring I’m going to be heart broken. I hate his basketball so much.

    There's Only One October 2024 NBA Gamethread

    It’s going to be tough to gel when you don’t play many games together. After Embiid injury risk, I think the biggest risk the 6ers face is not having a lot of reps and facing several possible well-oiled machines.

    National Celtics discourse

    The only thing I’d change about the 2024-2025 Celtics is to increase the length of games by 25% so my personal enjoyment is maximized. the rest of the NBA? How about the garbage that is free-throw hunting? Everything about the Embiid/Harden style of play is an abomination and I won’t watch...

    National Celtics discourse

    For some of us it isn’t about “not wanting things to change” but about the friction between aesthetics/entertainment and efficiency. The min/maxing of sports, by its nature, emphasizes certain ideal strategies at the expense of other possible plays and by extension the limitation of certain...

    Game 1, October 22 vs. New York

    So they could double down on Gobert?

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Impressive company to keep. Sounds like the HoF should be a lock. You don't often hear Horford mentioned as a future HoF inductee (which doesn't mean much but he could still be influenced by narrative).

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Certainly possible, especially if he feels like another ring or deep playoff run is the difference between the HOF and on the bubble. I would admit that I’d be pretty surprised, though.

    Celtics sign Lonnie Walker IV

    I think it’s chilling to a very specific category of the market, and Lonnie was in it: depth pieces asking for more than the minimums. I think Brandon Ingram will wind himself in the other “no zone” of the market: guys that were once traditionally getting max deals but aren’t good enough to be...

    General NBA season thread: 24-25 edition

    KOC in shambles. Wasn’t Hayes getting minutes over Ivey last year? Real basketball terrorism by Monty.

    Jaylen Brown 2024-25, Year 9: What they gonna say now?!

    I was hugely critical of Jaylen as recently as the first 20 games of last season. I was wrong, and thrilled to be. I used to scoff at the idea that Tatum wasn’t the #1 guy on the team. I still believe he is, but I do think we’re entered a world where Jaylen taking a leap into the conversation...

    Wyc ownership group planning to make Celtics available for sale

    Like I said in my response, I don’t know a thing about Boston real estate or where a new stadium would go. Just trying to answer your second question about “why?”.

    Wyc ownership group planning to make Celtics available for sale

    I don’t know nearly enough to answer the “where?” question, but the why should be pretty apparent. It’s probably the single most transformative financial decision an organization can make. It increases revenue, increases franchise valuation, reduces risk, improves all kinds of negotiating...

    General NBA season thread: 24-25 edition

    There’s a world where OKC gets a top 5 pick from LAC. That would be absolutely insane. I’m low key cheering for this. If the Celtics weren’t in their championship window, I would be be all in on this story line.

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    I do find myself wondering how much of what we’ve seen from Brad over the past few years is a system he’s trying to create, and how much is being opportunistic. For example, if the next Jrue-like situation happens at a position of need but that player is an average defender without switch...
