    5/16 ECSF G6 vs. Knicks

    8pm Friday night game at MSG. Should be an electric crowd. Throw the first punch. Bury them early. Never let up.

    Celtics v Knicks 2nd Round Matchup

    KP not playing really limits the ability to play double big which has seemed to be the most effective lineups this series. I think they need to find a way to get him 12 mins or so again, even if it is only in 3 minute bursts. There is also still huge upside in finding out if he randomly feels...

    May 10th, @ James Madison Square Garden, Game III

    Tatum snaps out of his 2 game slump and goes for 40+. Cs win this one by 20+, and never lose another game in this series. LFG

    Celtics v Knicks 2nd Round Matchup

    I think Tatum hurt his wrist at some point in the first half. I remember him flexing it on a defensive possession, and that seemed to coincide with him settling for 3s.

    Celtics v Knicks 2nd Round Matchup

    Scheming to keep Brunson away from JT and JB is one thing. But having to scheme to keep 2 undersized players away from them, plus KAT, just seems impossible. We saw what happened to Cole Anthony last round when they targeted him. I think Thibs will certainly try to plat them their regular...

    Celtics v Knicks 2nd Round Matchup

    In addition to the KAT and Brunson defensive issues, the Knicks bench is not going to be able to help them this series. MR is the first guy off the bench, and wouldn't surprise me to see them just hack him anytime he's on the floor. Plus with the Celtics shooting they will try to get him out on...

    2025 WC First Round series thread: (2) Rockets vs (7) Warriors

    Doris and Breen finally calling out the Draymond double standard. I wonder if they have received word from their bosses to highlight this. First time I can remember him being called out so forcefully on a broadcast.

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    He’s going to accumulate some all time counting stats in the playoffs. He has an outside shot at passing LeBron for most playoff points before turning 28. He will likely pass Mchale this year for 23rd all time, and be in the top 15 by the time he’s 31. Depending on health and how long the...

    This series has been really good, but seems like it could be headed for a fight.

    NBA Playoff Thread: 2024-25 Edition

    Average margin through 7 games is over 20. So far it’s not the super competitive first round I had thought it would be.

    2025 WC First Round series thread: (3) MFL vs (6) Timberwolves

    Luka with 1 assist, LeBron with 3, Lakers only with 14. They did a nice job turning the Lakers into iso scorers.

    Ant attacking Luka every possession looks very familiar.

    C's Playoff Thread: 2024-25 Edition

    I think I agree that the teams effort will be better than we have seen this year. My only concern is they have been worse at home, and I could see a scenario where the defending champs don’t get quite as excited by a round 1 game as the less experienced Magic.

    Play-in Gamethread 2025: Desmond Does Dallas

    Atlanta is in a really bad spot. I don’t think they own their own pick for a few years, so no incentive to tank, and their best player is a negative asset, so not sure they can get any valuable picks for him. Maybe they can trade Trae to someplace like Brooklyn that has lot of surplus picks but...

    Play-in Gamethread 2025: Desmond Does Dallas

    Trae is such a losing player, masked by the occasional clutch moment.

    2025 NBA Playoffs Predictions: Now with less bench!

    Somehow Jokic would seem undervalued. I think that series goes 7, and Jokic is going to put up almost 2 series worth of Evan Mobley totals in those 7 games, and a reasonable chance of advancing and getting 5 or 6 more games from him. Plus he’s been insanely durable, more so than a couple guys...

    March/April 2025 NBA Gamethread

    Isn’t there a real chance the Pacers prefer to be the 4th seed and avoid Boston in the second round? I can’t imagine there is much difference to them between Detroit and Milwaukee, so why not line it up to avoid Boston for as long as possible? Perhaps they just keep playing hard through game 82...

    Baylor Scheierman - 30th pick, RD1

    I don’t think he will ever be a regular starter on this version of the Celtics. His playmaking fits better on the second unit, and Hauser’s shooting fits better with the starters. He can fulfill his destiny as poor man’s Manu by coming off the bench for a dynasty.
