    3/25 - Celtics @ Hawks

    Good chance to re-motivate. Can't be complacent, this is a good one to point to internally, ultimately. Frustrating in the moment but I think good for the team in the long term.

    NCAA Tournament Saturday 2nd Round Thread

    Oregon would be the first time in men's March Madness history to win a tournament game, any round, without attempting a free throw. Only one school, Illinois in 1986, has played such a game overall, in a Round of 32 56-58 loss to Alabama.

    Heh, nope, that’s it, that ties the record.

    NCAA Tournament Saturday 2nd Round Thread

    Ties it, as you alluded. But this group of nine straight also contains UNC, 1985-93.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Bit off track, but I'd suggest I'd Rather be Wright: Memoirs of an Itinerant Tackle for a similar parallel in written form to discuss Lombardi in long form. He comes across as caring and devoted, but a bit neurotic in it. Also has a profile of Bear Bryant among others.

    NCAA Tournament First Four and Thursday Game Thread

    CSU is now the 10th team in NCAA Tournament history to score 11 points or fewer in the first half. Last: 2008* Kent State. *That year had an 11-point half too, Winthrop's second 20 against Wazzu, first round.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Yeah, they did so, just thought it'd be a bit easier to explain this way at large. Important distinction to be sure though.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Okay, personal fun experience here working for MLBN. Can't say it's the same policy for players but the video we used to watch every year also had links for umpires and players, possibly variations. I KNEW I should've watched those out of curiosity, instead of only just the MLBN employees...

    2023-24 Celtics

    Before 1995-96, the highest ever was Chicago's +11.0 in 1991-92. +10.9 for the 70-71 Bucks, +10.5 and +10.1 in 1971-72 for the Lakers and Bucks respectively. Checks out.

    The trouble with Kobe. An Appology

    I had this conversation with people elsewhere because all time greats came up from a 2K video being streamed. The Kobe stans are the worst. I had the audacity to say I have him top 20, which is reasonable, and started Kobe was also benefiting from his circumstances far more than most, which I...

    2023-24 Celtics

    The last time the Celtics didn't beat every single team in the regular season but won the Finals was 1983-84. That one team was the Lakers. Between Henderson's steal, the heat game in Game, and ML Carr deeming it an 'all-out war', that series had it all. It has no statistical bearing of any...

    3/7 - Catch-22 in Mile High

    Thanks for this, keeps my sanity, adds a bit of different outlook on things. More to come when I'm not working the games. Usually that's my paycheck time in making the odds. :)

    3/7 - Catch-22 in Mile High

    First Celtic with 40+ points and 7+ FT misses in a game since Paul Pierce's MOTHERFUCKING TRUTH game in LA, 2001. Only other Celtic to do that? Ed Macauley in 1953.

    3/7 - Catch-22 in Mile High

    For as much grief as the Celtics deserve at the stripe, and they do deserve it, Denver going 21 of 22 at the line is an absolute outlier. It's their 34th such game with 20+ FTA this season, but their first of those 34 with one or fewer misses. Just a bit unlucky in that specific regard, twice over.

    3/7 - Catch-22 in Mile High

    I love Jokic's game but I don't think that was his intention with that pass given the way his body was angling relative to the cylinder. Still amazing.

    3/7 - Catch-22 in Mile High

    Especially impressive given consecutive road cities, time zones, and oh yeah, altitude. To say nothing of the fact it's a team of Denver's quality.
