I can’t believe I’m saying these words. This is going to be hard. Ready? Ok.

That play was likely called. What about the end of the game?

Speaking as another Boston fan, Jaylen was fouled at the end of game 4 and the refs have been bad all series for both teams, not just this one call.

What would I rate this movie?

The ghost of Rasual Butler? That’s ice cold

Right, except that somebody is LeBron telling the team that they better pay his buddy Tristan Thompson and that deal has been a fiasco and signing Wade would be cool and that worked out so well and that James Jones needs to go with him wherever he goes and he hasn’t been helpful since LeBron wore headbands properly in…

They absolutely didn’t but no one gets the coverage LeBron does because LeBron’s LeBron. Doesn’t make the original comment any less stupid though :)

Wrong.

As bad as the KG trade was in hindsight, one of the picks they got could have been Steph Curry instead of Jonny Flynn. Had they done that, I think we’d all look quite differently at this trade.

Because you can’t pay them what they’re worth if you’re capped out like the Celtics are and, while they may take a little less, no one of that level is coming at the mid-level exception.

Horford is like the throw-in. He’s the secondary all-star to compliment the very young and talented headliner of the deal which would theoretically be Tatum and/or Brown, while also adding in Terry Rozier and/or Smart, and/or the Lakers/Kings pick they’re due and/or the Grizzlies pick they’re due in 2-3 years.

Jaylen Brown, Jason Tatum, the unprotected Grizzlies pick in 2 years, and the 2/3 pick this year via LA/the top 1 protected 2018 Sacramento pick with Terry Rozier or Marcus Smart as throw-ins isn’t chaff.

But he has the single greatest/mean-without-being-an-actual-swear/slur nickname I’ve ever heard.

I think he also developed some really bad habits as the only thing resembling a worthwhile player - besides a year of JR Smith and embryonic Kristaps - on the Knicks all those years.

Yes. There was a point not all that long ago that he was the best scorer in the world. Hell, there’s a legit argument that he’s the single greatest international (meaning Olympic style, not from a different country) basketball player to ever play but Olympic Melo hasn’t been NBA Melo in a long, long time. It’s a…

Give it time. LeBron only beats the teams he should beat (or a 73 win team with their MVP recovering from a sprained knee but active anyway.) There’ll be a disappointed Comic Sans letter coming again, I’m sure.

That strategy is why, as a Celtics fan, I’m not as worried as I probably should be. If Marcus Smart is back, I think he can lock up and frustrate Simmons (as much as one can with someone who’s that damn good) and that’s what fuels Simmons to hit the gym even harder over the summer, work on the shot, and begin the…

To be clear - you reheat spaghetti, add American cheese, and make a (cold) sandwich out of it?!?

Embiid can shoot though. They can easily just pull him out to the perimeter and the lane’s still open at that point

In the Boston area, this is panic mode. We traded away a potential top 5 QB and now see Brady and Gronk openly contemplating not coming back. This is likely just leverage so Brady’s “guru” can get more access but it doesn’t feel like nothing around here. Guys don’t love playing for Bill but they win.
