1/10: Wolves@Celtics

[The Mort Report]

Oh shit, it’s Eddie House. I almost always choose the arena feed on League Pass because you get some hilariously bad halftime shows, but I went with the studio feed tonight. I didn’t realize he was a co-host.

Lol I was really confused by the question, I thought you didn't recognize the man haha. In fairness, he's usually not in studio, he's usually remote

 

[CaptainLaddie]

He is so much more comfortable and less defensive in his press conferences than he was last year. He's grown

I've noticed this, too. Hopefully he's been getting media training or something like that. He's a likable (albeit weird) guy and the players clearly like him enough.

 

[The Mort Report]

Say what? I mean, Simmons is a lot of things but he's absolutely a Celtics obsessive. He was talking to Zach Lowe on his podcast about how he wants to match (or beat) the 40-1 Celtics home record and how great the Celts home crowd is.

I think it's you can be a die hard C's fan while also being a national sports troll making in moment hot takes for social media engagement

And true to his Rhody roots, JM he calls the other guy "Karl Ant-knee Towns"

Not just Rhody roots, but the authentic Nort' Providence accent.

Celtics need to play their next 2 home games fast, because the whole 18-0 thing gives me agita.

 

[jmcc5400]

I don’t see the same issues close and late. They’re not blowing games like they have the past couple years. They’re giving themselves an opportunity to win every single game. They are finally there. Pray to the basketball gods for health because if they have it they’re raising #18.

I agree and it’s even better with Porzingis.

Um, Tatum's wrist?

What happened????

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

What happened????

When JB was shooting FTs in OT (this was after the JT dunk and then a missed layup where he thought he got fouled), JT was holding his right wrist and grimacing pretty badly. Didn't seem to bother him on the subsequent 3Ps / FTs so maybe he just got hit in the wrong place?

Thank you

I’m not sure if he was in pain or just deep in thought when the camera cut to him. Didn’t seem to be an issue as you said.

 

[Euclis20]

I feel like I've seen him rubbing his right wrist in almost every game over the last month or so. Not on the injury report and he's obviously shooting pretty well, whatever.

This is totally true, but Simmons -- to his credit -- has been pretty handed with the team he cares about more than any other. Maybe I'm crazy.

It was weird. He was holding it and flexing his hand and grimacing like it was very painful, then he proceeded to dominate like nothing was wrong. Very strange.

He had just dunked. Maybe he banged it on the rim.

I hate when that happens

 

[Bunt4aTriple]

I noticed JB doing deep squats/bends at the waist coming out of TOs several times. Combine that with the wrist and my waking apnea everytime Porzingas leaps, I'm a wreck.

KAT whacked Tatum on the wrist before the dunk. He called it out to the ref after the play. Hopefully nothing, but wasn't like he landed on it or anything too bad.

You are not crazy. Some people on here can't process Bill Simmons for whatever reason.
