CELTICS 2010

it doesn't work like that

boston garden is haunted

larry bird's not walking through that door... he's simply apparating through that door

that is exactly what "bird rights" means.

bird rites

zingers been playing really good hes ready to make some noise in the playoffs

if you can win that then the playoffs are pretty easy in comparison

bucks go on a 11-0 run a mazzulla wont call a timeout then when they get a play stoppage they run a play for a kornet 3, his first of the year, unserious

gonna need those kornet 3s if they wanna make a deep run in the playoffs

he used to take them but not really make them then eventually gave up, i was actually just wondering the other day if hed give it another try cause hes 80% career from the line

might have to turn this off

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

thats a nice big deal for jrue look forward to him blowing up one million dribble handoffs

at the cost of $135 per dripple handoff disruption

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

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this is a year out of date but sounds like white could extend for ~$28m around the same money jrue got, which seems pretty good for him hes obvs a very good and valued player but im not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/

celtics finish the season with one of the highest point differentials ever

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 ok we know he's not normal, we made peace with it. just need him to draw up some plays that move the ball late in the 4Q and we're good

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

Was this play by Miami's Caleb Martin on Jayson Tatum in the closing moments of Game 1 dirty?

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