    April 14 Regular Season Finale v Bullets: Mike Gorman Sendoff night

    Kornet is the first NBA player to play 500+ minutes in a season with 70% FG% and 90% FT%.

    April 14 Regular Season Finale v Bullets: Mike Gorman Sendoff night

    Pritchard has his career high in points—let’s get Mikhailiuk and Queta theirs as well (only 6 points away for each of them).

    2023-24 Celtics

    Right now, the Celtics are 6.5 games ahead of the Thunder with 7 to play for the Celtics and 8 for the Thunder. Winning tomorrow clinches the #1 seed. If the Celtics lose tomorrow, the magic number remains at 2 (OKC would have the head-to-head tiebreaker so the Celtics would need more wins...

    3/25 - Celtics @ Hawks

    I like to think missing 17 out of the last 18 3-point shots was more to blame.

    3/23 - Boston Celtics @ Chicago Bulls

    if the Celtics and Bucks are tied then the Celtics win the next tiebreaker by being the Atlantic Division leader if the Bucks are not leading their division.

    3/18 - Pistons @ Cs.

    KP won’t get to 65 games this year—I think the minutes “he needed to get” were strictly an internal metric.

    3/12 Cs @ Jazz - take it easy on Danny?

    By my calculations, Kornet now has stats of 70% FG and 90% FT. That’s got to be pretty rare once you have a certain number of attempts.

    The Unikornet

    The team basketball-reference.com page, under shooting, tracks this. 40.3 percent of his attempts so far are dunks. (https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/BOS/2024.html)

    2023-24 Celtics

    And instead of Greg Kite (38% FG, 39% FT) as the next big man, we have Kornet (70% FG, 89% FT).

    NBA In-Season Tournament 2023 Discussion and Gamethread

    Here's something I have been wondering about. The NBA needs a tiebreaker in order, in most scenarios, to determine who makes it to the next round. But why use margin of victory when you know it's going to be problematic at best? Wouldn't it be less of an issue to have points allowed be the...

    Mike Gorman's Last Year

    The requirement to have a UHF band on new TVs from 1965 onward came from the All-Channels Act, signed into law in July 1962. It certainly fostered WSBK (38) (originally WIHS, which started broadcasting in 1964 when it was owned by the Archdiocese of Boston) and WSMW (27) (started broadcasting...

    #21

    I don't think that 21 is doing work for the Jimmy Fund through his foundation. The tax filings (see them here) don't have any mention of grants to the Jimmy Fund. And it looks like neither the trustees not the executive director take a salary. (Most of the expenditures are donations to the...

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    A couple of things to add to this thread, both from 2009. 1) One of Tim Wakefield's best starts was against the A's on April 15th--he took a no-hitter into the 8th inning and wound up getting with 8-2 complete game win. But the circumstances were a bit out of the ordinary. After eight...

    Tim Wakefield has passed away from brain cancer at 57 (10/1 update)

    In 1994, he led the American Association (8 teams) in games started (29), but also losses (15), hits (197), runs (127), and walks (98) (stats from The Baseball Cube). One of the few good things from that season for him was working with Joe Gannon, the bullpen catcher for the Buffalo Bisons...
