CELTICS 2010

:(

remember when they knocked out the skeet in the first round this year i do

bowtie is a nice touch for press conference attire.

this year will be fantastic.

Shaq is all smiles because he will earn a few more million dollars for doing little odd jobs here and there. Doc looks grimly serious because Shaq has just executed a cannonball into Doc's swimming pool and now only half the water is left in the pool.

jordan u forgot one crucial point that i dont have to watch rasheed power-walk from 3 pt line to 3 pt line thus the regular season will be less depressing. i know what to expect from fat shaq and he is really fourth/fifth big man on the depth chart and at a min salary and somehow that's less depressing

for real though i think cs will be energized by the finals run and ready for vengeance. injuries were big last year too

clincher is that league pass also means i can watch okc all the time if all else fails

Was thinking this exact same thing today.

this i don't believe. i think o'neal is desperately concerned with going out on a super high note -- preferably by beating bryant in the finals. he could have signed for more money elsewhere. not that i think he's likely to put boston over-the-top at this stage of his career, but whatevs.

i hope he wears the bowtie during games, is all i hope.

BRIDE OF PERKINSTEIN

aw

shaq to solidify celtics:

BOSTON — NBA analyst David Aldridge said Wednesday that with the addition of Shaquille O'Neal, the Celtics have vastly improved their chances of leading the league in three-second lane violations for the 2010–2011 season. "Not only does Shaq's presence in the paint give his team more opportunities to turn the ball over, but the Celtics have also added an experienced big man who makes an already old team significantly older," said Aldridge, adding that O'Neal should fill a key role in terms of drastically slowing down the Celtics' offense. "Danny Ainge was looking for someone with size who can't make it down to the other end of the court, and he went out and got the best in the business." Aldridge added that while O'Neal isn't the dominant force he once was, he believes Shaq still has a thing or two to teach teams who think it's a good idea to sign him.

He may not entirely solidify the C's, but he can add a lot of viscosity.

hahahahaaha guys i just realized, shaq is really fat!

on paper and based on my faded memories of his great prime years, boston signing shaq sounds like a very good move. then, you read stuff like this:

SamAmicoNBA Shaq on Mo: "Guys who couldn't even play were worried about shots. Why was Mo (Williams) taking 15 shots, and I'm only taking four?"

if o'neal is complaining about his shots on a 66-win team featuring lebron james, i'm not convinced he'll all of a sudden be a good team player in boston. i imagine if he could work well anywhere, it would be there, given the quality character guys leading the team, but still . . .

almost felt bad for scal w/the intensely patronizing fan appresh, almost

he'll get over it

Perkins, who will turn 24 next season, is too young to remember when Shaq was a productive basketball player. When asked if he has seen any tapes of Shaqs days with the Magic, Lakers, or Heat Perkins replied “no . . . I don’t own a VCR.”

There's a lot to like about KG, but I wish to god he'd woof less at his opponents and refs and let his play do more of the talking. Too dickish from my pov.

Woofing at his teammates is ok in my book, though.

guys...you need to watch this video

jumping back in here. really enjoying the pics and videos posted.

perk's marriage looks a keeper

at the cost of $135 per dripple handoff disruption

im not a quant but it seems like a pretty good deal

Jrue: 4-year, $135M. Sounds like the Celtics will be a second apron team next year.

― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, April 10, 2024 8:31 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

according to bobby marks it saves them money next year cause jrue declined his larger player option, i think he was saying it keeps them out of the second apron but it was unclear

i don’t think it gets them out on its own but gives them more of a path to getting out than before

too many aprons

wiggle room

The benefit from the extension is that Boston eliminates $5.7M of likely/unlikely bonuses that would have counted toward the first/second apron.

Celtics now have wiggle room to get under the apron at the trade deadline if needed. https://t.co/n948CIifEt

White has two years remaining on the four-year, $70 million extension he signed with the Spurs in 2020. He’s due to earn $18.4 million this season and then $19.6 million in 2024-25. Under the new rules of the collective bargaining agreement, White can extend for three years at 140% of his 2024-25 salary, so a deal would look like something around three years, $85 million that would begin in 2025-26.

this is a year out of date but sounds like white could extend for ~$28m around the same money jrue got, which seems pretty good for him hes obvs a very good and valued player but im not sure whos maxing him out, tho he could play out the last year of his deal and get more from the celtics, or effectively force a trade to a team thats willing to give him more if the celtics arent, hope they just extend him asap that would be nice

i understand the desire to not let your players get rusty, but is having your starters play this badly for 30-plus minutes a night contributing to that cause?

also good lord why are they airing these games on national tv?

cool article: https://theathletic.com/5381229/2024/04/10/kristaps-porzingis-celtics-post-up-analytics/

Fascinating insight from Joe Mazzulla into his mindset on @PardonMyTake. Says he never uses revolving doors, studies the exits of every room he’s in, and uses watching cartoons with his kids as a chance to teach them lessons:

good luck to the celtics and their very normal coach tjis offs!

silicon valley brain poisoning ass bullshit

its tough being a weird guy dont think ive ever heard him say something about basketball that i disagree with but i see him on the sideline with his crucifix pin and im like idk about all this

feel like sports brain is upstream in this case—sports, sales, cop shit— its just guy stuff

time 2 slam dunk the patriarchy imho

i mean if this is how he wants to be “basketball coach” is a much better professional outlet than “police officer” or “IT manager”

lol true

big time college and pro sport coaches - as a class of people - are the most demented people in our society today

some truly fucked in the head guys for sure

i mean...like this past year I saw so much Jim Harbaugh...he seems brain damaged in interviews

this david roth piece about how harbaughs favorite song is The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald is so out there https://defector.com/the-edmund-fitzgerald-is-inspiring-jim-harbaugh-and-michigan-football-to-achieve-lake-mindset

Celtics' broadcaster Brian Scalabrine didn't like the lead-up to the play...
