    The Pantheon of Boston announcers: Who you got?

    With Mike Gorman's retirement today, I thought it would be interesting to place him in the all-time rankings. Who are your top-5 all-time Boston sports announcers, in ranked order? I'd go: 1. Joe Costiglione 2. Mike Gorman 3. Gino Cappelletti 4. Dennis Eckersley 5. Tommy Heinson i think Joe is...

    Which accomplishment would you value more?

    I was struck this morning by quotes by JD Davison like, "I can't even explain how I feel right now," and the general enthusiasm of the Maine Celtics in getting to the finals. They seemed genuinely thrilled, which is understandable, of course, but I was kind of thinking these guys saw the...

    2023-24 Maine Celtics game thread

    There are threads about individual Maine Celtics, but thought this would be a useful catch-all thread for observations and news. Went to the game today against the Gold, the Nuggets' team. Highly entertaining, as the Expo always is. Observations: - The Gold have Jay Huff, out of Virginia, and...

    Are the Maine Celtics holding back tickets for some reason?

    Hey folks - was thinking of hitting the Maine Celtics this afternoon, but went to buy tickets and there was basically nothing available, other than the very corners seats for $15. Couple re-sales for $70 or so. No thanks. But then I see video like this and both end-of-court sections are totally...

    11/8 - Giving Sixers fans a case of the Wednesdays

    It sucks when games are on Wednesdays because I have recurring meetings on Wednesday nights and so I'm only semi-present in those meetings, as the Celtics are more important to me than whatever is being blathered on about in the meetings. It's made me feel like Wednesdays are my Mondays, and I...

    Jeff Van Gundy officially a consultant to the Cs now

    Credit to Reddit for hipping me to this one: The Cs website now lists Jeff Van Gundy as the "senior consultant" to the Cs coaching staff. There were rumors of him joining as an assistant back in July, but I haven't seen anything (nor does Google currently turn up anything) about him being hired...

    Jaylen Brown: Will he be enough in Year 8?

    Okay, with the draft behind us, I think it's time to move on from the Year 7 thread and look at Jaylen in Year 8, which will be either his last with the Cs or the start of SUPER MAX JAYLEN or something in between. One pretty obvious thing to watch for Jaylen this coming season is how he's...

    Round 1, Game 3 - Friday, 7 p.m., against the team from Atlanta

    Yet again, the NBA forces us to wait two days before we get to see more Celtic dominance over what is ostensibly an NBA team in the playoffs, but does not appear to be of the same caliber as the team that plays in Boston. However, the Hawks are now at home and if they have any chance of not...

    Round 1, Game 2 - Tuesday, 7 p.m., against the Hapless Hawks

    How concerned am I about the second half swoon in Game 1? Exactly zero percent concerned. You try keeping up your intensity when you're winning by 30 points against a team you know you can impose your will upon at any moment. Yes, it's the playoffs. Yes, it's important to not let your guard...

    Round 1, Game 1 - Saturday, 3:30 p.m. against TBD (does it matter? No, they're lambs to the slaughter regardless)

    I wasn't sure whether I should wait until we know the opponent, but I feel like it will be good to have a game thread for game notes, etc., as they start coming in. Looks like the Heat are a 5 point favorite over the Hawks for tomorrow night's game. But I don't think it matters. I think this...

    4/9 - Hawks are kind of like dinosaurs, right?

    1 p.m. start today on Easter Sunday for the season finale against the Hawks. Even though a Hawks loss and Raptors win would leave them tied, the Hawks have the tie-breaker, so the game is as meaningless as it gets. Jaylen and Al are definitely out. Marcus, Tatum, and Bob are all...

    4/7 - The Garden seems to be infested with dinosaurs

    The Raptors are playing the Celtics for a second time in a row, but the game will involve substantially different people, it would seem. Jaylen has a boo-boo on his finger. Malcolm, Derek, Marcus, and Payton are all questionable. JD DAVISON COME ON DOWN. Much like Coach Mazz once had the...

    4/5 Dinosaurs in the Garden

    As most predicted, Al's back is acting up, so he's out. But TimeLord is back in the lineup and Jaylen's back has magically healed overnight, so he's not on the injury report at all. Last night was a battle, though, so Tatum and Smart both are questionable. Oh, and Pritch's heal is still...

    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    I know there's an old WEEI thread somewhere, but new threads are good and the news is out today that Lou Merloni is leaving WEEI, Christian Fauria is moving to middays with Gresh, Rich Keefe is being "reassigned," and MegO (Meghan Ottolini) will anchor the drive-time (I guess) with Christian...

    12/7 - The team with the Great Eyelashes

    In general, I like the Suns. I just don't like that they happen to be in a time zone that results in a game that starts too late for me to enjoyably watch. Will I still watch? Almost definitely. I just won't enjoy struggling to stay up that late. Or I'll fall asleep on the couch. Whatever...

    12/5 - The team with the Dumb Mascot

    There was a time when I sort of didn’t mind Toronto. I liked the fact that they were the lone international outpost, Toronto is a kick-ass city, and the Kawhi team was nasty. But they are coached by Nick Nurse, who is insufferable, and their mascot, the raptor, is dumb. Isn’t a raptor a bird...

    12/4 - The team with the Gray Floor

    While the Nets are easy to dislike for many, many reasons, high among them is their stupid gray floor, which makes every game look like my color balance has ceased to work properly. It is the worst. Neuter the Nets. Kream Kyrie. Dunk on Durant. Etc.

    Goodbye, Brett Netzer

    Former 3rd rounder loses his mind and gets released. Looks like maybe he just wanted out of his Sox affiliation? Odd way to go about it. Saw him play a bunch in Portland. Certainly nothing special. https://twitter.com/brettnetzer?s=21

    Ken Rosenthal's stupid idea

    View: https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/1454425605118771200?s=20 So, the big mantra now is that baseball desperately needs starting pitchers, that starters are a dying breed, and that baseball is sacrificing its "stars" to "efficiency." It's "nerds are ruining the game" all over again...

    The Sea Dogs are fun as hell

    Just back from my second Dogs game of the season - if you can get away to a game this summer, do it. The ballpark is in sparkling shape, it's cheap and affordable, and the baseball is really good, even if the lineup isn't studded with prospects. - They seem to know how to win. Tonight they...
