    Wilyer Abreu to be called up

    Hey, CR is up to 43 OPS+. On a .220 BABIP. :-)

    MIA is very comfortable against BOS. Om the positive side, this is a great match-up for BOS: it looks like it's going to require some growth to win. KP in particular will have to figure out his way around the new officiating.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    I don't think it's a "deer in the headlights" look; to me, it's a "I'm going to put my head down and take over this game". They are such individual talents they don't think anyone on MIA can guard them and when things get tough, they are going to go win it. However, the truth is that the Cs...

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    LAL did have an outlier shooting game but unlike MIA, they couldn’t sustain it. Also, a lot of BOS’s offense and open 3Ps come off transition, and they aren’t getting into transition when MIA hits 3Ps.

    Agree that MIA was encouraging 1 on 1 and then it looked to me that MIA would send late help and the BOS players wouldn't/couldn't find the open guy. Hopefully they'll figure this out and change. But definitely not enough ball movement. Also, when BOS can't get out in transition because the...

    This game reminded me of the LAL game when AD and LBJ were out. The Cs have bounced back from these types of games all year. Hopefully they will do the same this time.

    KP shoved to the floor twice - no call. New NBA officiating!

    Red Sox sign Danny Kirwin from the Oakland Ballers

    Early Fleetwood Mac recorded a concert in Boston in 1970 that wasn't released until 1985 (and there were subsequent later releases). It's sometimes called "Live in Boston." It's amazing. Highly recommend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_in_Boston_(Fleetwood_Mac_album) /hijack.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    The point the article made was that Ham has Gabe Vincent, who can shoot and has some experience playing against DEN in pressure situations versus Dinwiddie. Ham continues to play Dinwiddie. As I've said, I've not watched the series but it sounds like a suboptimal piece of coaching. Not sure...

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    For us old-timers, it was jarring when the NBA started calling the ticky-tack fouls because I can remember when taking someone down by the neck on a fast break was considered "physical play" (the late 1990s-early 2000s were particularly bad as the NBA basically turned into a wrestling match).

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    Not necessarily disagreeing with your post but of course the NBA has to rule that "marginal" contact isn't a foul otherwise defenders wouldn't be able to touch a player. However, "marginal" by its definition is subjective and it seems to me that one of the problems that you're getting to is...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    The decision CJM has to make - as we've discussed in the past - is yes KP isn't very good guarding Jokic but neither can Jokic run around after KP on the other end either. I mean if you recall, DEN went to Jokic on Jrue in the second game, which is when Jrue hit 3 (IIRC) three pointers). Once...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    Tillman is not playing versus DEN if everyone is healthy. It's bad enough that they can put Jokic on Horford but putting Tillman in there means Jokic doesn't have to do anything on defense at all. Besides, when DEN runs that PnR it's going to be JT on Murray and JB on Jokic. :-)

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    I didn't watch the game but this article says that DEN's switching up on defense (going Gordon on AD and KCP on LBJ) was proximate cause of stopping the LBJ/AD PnR: https://www.denverpost.com/2024/04/23/aaron-gordon-anthony-davis-nuggets-defense-lakers-game-2/

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (2) New York Knicks vs (7) Philadelphia 76ers

    I don't know if this is true. If the defender hits ball first, then apparently contact is allowed afterwards. Remember the Jaylen last second shot when that happened? This gets back to what we talked about when the Jaylen foul was overturned. We the fans hear "clear and conclusive" evidence...

    According to this article - https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/lakers-nuggets-game-2-the-three-biggest-mistakes-darvin-ham-made-during-stunning-second-half-collapse/ - DEN and LAL "had played a total of 18 clutch minutes since the beginning of the 2023 Western Conference Finals.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (2) Denver Nuggets vs (7) LA Lakers

    LAL shooting 57% from 3P and AD is 11-12 and DEN is 26% from 3P. One wpuld think LAL wpuld be up by more than15. Hope they can hold on to this either by continuing their hot shooting or figuring out a way to score whe they start misding. Wpuld love if this series we t on as long as possible.
