    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    Oh wow, so this wasn’t even a smart dumb scheme? In other words, to pay off they would have had to have been allowed to make higher bets than actually permitted? And they didn’t do that research? So this ain’t Inception level planning. And good to know there are some safeguards in place.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    This is nuts. I’m not a gambler, and that’s just to say I never gave much thought to how easy it is for a player to influence a bet that only depends on whether (s)he is on the court. I don’t get how that’s allowed to be a thing. For the people here more in tune with this - how much would...

    2/24 @ New York

    Wild how rosy the play by play guys are about the Celtics. Tatum and Brown as both “elite wing defenders.” “Amazing how they’ve both improved since they came in the league.” Porzingis : “Tops in the league at efficiency in the post, and shoots 27 foot jumpers. If that’s not a unicorn I...

    All NBA Teams so far

    I guess Lebron has to get left off some year, but is this the one? I kind of doubt voters are making that call until his numbers drop significantly, which they haven’t. I think he makes it over DeMarr or Harden.

    Celtics sign Oshae Brissett

    It’s so tough to evaluate true talent level (as a viewer) against a B or C squad. The tools look great, but against what defense? I remember thinking Andray Blatche was a real up and comer based on garbage time in DC. That said, I wonder if the whole Bench Mob benefit from playing together...

    NBA & Celtic 2024 Trade Deadline thread

    Got the start last night vs. Minny and he dominated the likes of Rudy, Naz Reid and KAT on the boards. Also had 4 blocks. He truly is special at that one thing. C’s have the best rebounding rate in the league but are only 14th in ORPG. As was pointed out up thread, Drummond could be a real...

    Nick Pivetta - Bad, Average, or Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good?

    Bumping this because there’s been a lot of discussion in the Rumors thread about what we’ve got in Pivetta. And, well… what do we? How real is his second half turnaround where he had 12.4 K/9, third among all starters? Is that a new normal? Or is it more likely he reverts to his career...

    2024 Portland Sea Dogs (AA)

    Just to head off any camera operator shade (not that you were throwing any) - likely these guys are semi-pro at best. I have a buddy who did this for a while (Single A San Jose Giants) and got paid some tiny amount per game. Free tickets was the main attraction. Also, the cameras they use in...

    2023-24 Celtics

    I thought that play and the next one were Tatum stepping his game up to yet another level. He gets that drive to the hoop with a behind-the-back that’s pretty new to his arsenal. On the following play, Pritchard sets a pick for Tatum but gets bodied out of the way. So PP sags off and Tatum...

    Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

    Lost me when it had him on the mound in November.

    Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

    The hashtag below reads "Super Joel." So guessing that's his agent, and he's happy with his work?

    Wizards, Caps will reluctantly accept $500 million to stay in DC

    Don’t believe the coverage. IMO - and I’m not a politician but I count a DC Councilperson as one of my best friends - the biggest issues are crime and Metro. Crime has gone up to like late 90s levels. But it’s a bit misleading. There are far more “safe” neighbourhoods than back then -...

    Wizards, Caps will reluctantly accept $500 million to stay in DC

    This is exactly right. I’ve been in DC long enough to remember when parking nearby could lead to your battery being stolen. The MCI/Verizon/Cap One Center built that neighborhood. Not just the Caps/Wizards but all the other entertainment in that building - movies, bowling, restaurants. The...

    2024 HOF Ballot

    I was surprised Victor Martinez had only 32 WAR. I remembered him as being the top catcher in the league for many years, and his numbers look good. Skewed by early years in the steroid era?

    Producing Relief Pitchers

    At the risk of being the guy who says “go do this,” someone’s got to do the work on this or it’s just anecdotes. It’s all fine and good to say “the Red Sox have only developed X pitchers in X years,” but how does that compare to the league? How many have the Milwaukee Brewers developed...
