ok so maybe you’re right Gayle

A lot of this was about the Celtics playing really bad basketball the last week or so. I they’ve now been down by at least 20 in 3 of their last 4 games and by at least 26 in back to back games.

LeBron sat out half the first with an injury. Cedi Osman started. Four new players who don’t even know the system. Kevin Love in a suit and tie. Sold out pumped up crowd for Paul Pierce’s ceremony. Kyrie playing a team and a LeBron he wants to beat, badly. A week ago the Cavs were done, LeBron was already in LA and no…

Yeah, I’m glad you pointed this out. Throughout the game I just kept thinking about how Hood, Clarkson, and Nance Jr. are all 25 years old. Or exactly the age where they probably grew up idolizing LeBron (Especially Nance Jr. for obvious reasons). And now they go from some shit-ass teams to playing with LeBron and…

Calm down Paul, you still got your number retired.

There are a ton of weird results right before the All Star break when teams start coasting to an extended rest. The Jazz smoked the Warriors last week, for instance. It’s definitely the start that these guys wanted with the Cavaliers, though.

I think it’s more like a new squad of guys coming from hopeless teams were super duper pumped to be on a contender, played inspired, and then of course lebron is lebron, and this was against Kyrie. New blood. Big game. Lebron. Perfect storm for Boston.

This. I’d much rather see Rockets-Cavs than a 4th straight same finals matchup.

Just a pet peeve of mine: the -eth ending is only for third person singular in archaic English... “The dunk god giveth” would be correct, but, unfortunately, the correct archaic version, for the third person plural, would simply be “the dunk gods give and the dunk gods take.” [/pedant]

“There were very fine people on both sides of that coaching search.”

Haha. Total pwnage by the Pats over the Colts again. Pats get their revenge on the Colts for DeflateGate. The Colts now have to settle for the offensive coordinator that won the Super Bowl instead of the one that lost the Super Bowl.

I am surprised by the length of the contract. Seems 995 years to short.

“Reich was one of three candidates reportedly interviewed by Colts GM Chris Ballard after McDaniels turned them down.”

OK, either Dirk is taller than 7' or Isiah Thomas is not 5'9". Are we 100% sure Kevin Hart didn’t try sneaking onto another team?

The kid is saying the right things, but I don’t believe he will risk his potential NBA career. As a scout/GM you gotta love the desire to play and help the team, but you also have to be terrified he hurts himself again. Backs are no joke.

Dude, Chinamen is not the preferred nomenclature.

I haven’t seen a Christian be that racist since the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics.

MissouriBen also wants Michael Porter, Jr. to play for Mizzou this year, although I will say that if the doctors don’t share his optimism, kid needs to shut it down. It’s a bummer because as I understand he’s been a Tiger fan his whole life and his whole gigantic family goes to school there, so I’m sure it would mean…

This would be an insanely dumb decision. I hope someone near him tells him that. Get ready for the draft and collect that bag.
