I also think it’s important to point out how foreign players who aren’t likely to come over yet are often drafted high in the 2nd round so teams can retain their rights without spending a 1 on a longer-term commitment to wait.  A top 5 protection on a 2 is actually pretty sensible in that regard.

So the net net of trading a 23 year old giant with a 3 ball was Julius Randle, Taj Gibson, and Bobby Portis. OMG I want to crush it up and snort it.

This is clearly an over-reach but I don’t think it’s wildly out of bounds to kind of blame her and charge her with something lesser if she actually started and continued the fight as reported.

I need to second you on pelicans. They are awesome. We’ve gone to Aruba a few times and they divebomb the water like thirty feet from swimmers and it’s awesome.

Never forget that Tony Battie drove Paul Pierce to the hospital when he got stabbed. #NotAllHeroesWearCapes

Old Al Horford is destined to be Boris Diaw.

I hate your team but that was what game 7s are supposed to be. Incredible ending to an incredible series.

True but that app is for gambling, in-game gambling if I remember correctly so he maybe did figure out something that wasn’t figured out.

I’m a Celtics season ticket holder. If that really is Kyrie he’s fucking oblivious. People LOVED him before he started complaining about literally everything literally all of the time.

To be the board man you need to box out

The worst thing about this is that EVERYTHING lined up to get us exactly what we wanted.  GS is not a juggernaut next year.  They didn’t win this year.  Had this team come together, they would be able to win a title.  Instead, it died on the vine and that death started literally 5 minutes into game 1 when Hayward got…

I think Ainge has proven he’s too obsessed with assets to part with a ton for what he knew would be a year of AD.

I agree with that thought on Davis but the one time he was on a team of consequence (college) he excelled in March and they won the title so we’ve seen what he can do when the lights are brightest so, much as I’d like to hope that could be the Lakers downfall, it probably won’t be :(

2 superduperstars.  This ain’t Jimmy Butler and Kemba without a cast.  Also, LA will draw plenty of exception-level FAs.  

There’ve been superteams since Wilt went to LA.  Kinda necessary in a league where the best players win, period (with a very very few exceptions over the years)

I mean, yes, a win is a win so sure, but you can’t watch that 4th quarter and think they would have won that game had Klay had 2 good knees.

Honestly though, with KD this is a 5 game series at best. With Klay in the 4th last night, the Warriors force a game 7. Toronto played their assess off and are well-deserved champs, but Warriors fans aren’t wrong to think that even if they should just stfu.

Rumor here in Boston that’s prevalent enough I heard it speculated about on the radio was that Ortiz was having an affair with a drug dealer’s wife.

My mom’s side of the family is a small town and they closed down the theater we always went to see movies when I was a kid.  Still nothing in it.  Now everyone’s all abuzz that there’s a new theater coming in a new building that... likely will be an empty building within 5 years too.  I’m sad.
