This article is similar to the puff piece about Hinkie that it criticizes, in that it provides little balance to its claims.

Hilarious typo and missed the joke all in one.

The Celtics front office is regarded as smart, right? They’ve been lauded for wisely accumulating assets while building a team that’s on the rise. Despite their acumen, they can’t find or acquire a superstar, drafts have been weak and unpredictable, and thus they have no chance at a title. They could follow this same…
Hot Take: The NBA teambuilding process sucks. It’s due to some combination of the cap, max contracts, unpredictability of draft prospects and the concentration of elite talent on only a few teams.
Hard to complain about competent management doing all they can to rebuild. I’m also a Sox fan (sorry) so I’m used to quick rebuilding on the fly by stockpiling assets, a really fluid trade market and the ability to sign people for whatever the cost.
I agree with this assessment. I’m a fan and think Ainge has made really tremendous moves over the last decade — just a little bitter that the asset accumulation hasn’t produced dividends more quickly.
I eagerly await the 2017 draft in which the Celtics and Danny Ainge continue the tradition of being hamstrung by having so many picks they lose leverage in trades and having pick X+1 in a X star player draft.
A man named Love calls out from the back, but recoils once the gaggle’s focus shifted to him. Sheepishly, he lets out “I do.” Tozgov, unimpressed, inquires: “WHAT WAS THAT? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?” Love blinks. After a moment of contemplation, he eeks, “I want to sex... I.. I want to sex Tozgov.”
Datthew Mellavedova enters wearing only a #69 jersey. “Do you boys know how to run the triangle?”
Brelon grins, his beard raising up to his ears. Jeff’s heart skips a beat. Brelon’s eyes glisten and his deep voice bellows, “Let me show you what I call the triple double.”

Dad should have been thanking authorities for the courtesy of thinking he was 20+ years younger.
Schilling is the Bad Takes Man and that tweet might be his magnum opus. I was tempted to go with Rovell but when pondering the issues behind his tweet, one realizes that it’s a really murky issue that doesn’t totally absolve Rovell’s asshattery but makes it a little harder to hate.
The MLB trade deadline is obviously the best deadline in sports and I love it, stupid rumors bedamned. If it’s unpopular, it’s probably because your team sucks and is selling your favorite player for a cadre of can-miss prospects.
He was obviously effective those nights, but rather ineffective in those other 113 outings from 2012-2015 when he pitched to a below average 4.68 ERA, 4.09 FIP, 75 ERA+.
Do you remember the Patrick Hruby quizzes? His work was tragically underrated.
When a politician “panders” to his/her “base” it is rightfully seen as cheesy, calculated and at times, unethical.
Bill Simmons is good. He has earned a reputation as someone who can recognize and empower talent. He has a good sense of where the market for sports media is, to his credit. People give him some shit for the writing that he actually does himself, but I thought it was good for a long time.. until maybe just a few years…
Reached for comment, the Eagles receiver told Philadelphia magazine, “Agholor? I hardly even know her!”
