If you’re wondering why our offensive adjustments have been so bad in the playoffs the last 2 years. A big reason could be Charles Lee and Jeff Van Gundy both left 2024 after our championship season. They were also only hired in 2024 the only season we didn’t collapse to lower seeds. After the historic collapses that our team has experienced 3 out of the last 4 years with Joe at the helm. Losi...

Has that ever happened in NBA history? I can’t imagine it’s happened in the modern NBA where teams go an average of 25 free throws per team. You have guys like Luka attempt an average of 12 attempts per game and then the Celtics as an entire team only get 13 FTs over 2 games. The Celtics remain a top 3 seed despite having the fewest free throw attempts in the NBA. Luka and Shai initiate contac...

I’m from southeast asia. Is it just me or does everybody everywhere seem to be struggling now? Where I’m from business is bad and people are struggling with expenses.

Anybody here who gets the cap space situation? We are out of the 2nd apron but how much cap space do we really have next season? We don’t seem to be trading any of the 4 core players ( Jays, White, and PP) So the only avenue left to get better is the draft which we could get a high pick on or free agency but from what I understand we don’t have that much cap space? Realistically without tradin...

The Celtics have always delivered in years ending in an even number and have always underperformed or had bad luck in years ending with an odd number. 2018 - Kyrie and Hayward go down. A young Celtics team lead by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown make it all the way to the ECF and take prime Lebron James to 7 games. This team exceeded all expectations. 2019- Kyrie and Hayward return. Celtics are heal...
Celtics have never missed the playoffs with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. When the Jays play they also never lost a first round playoff series. 7-7. ( Bucks, Pacers, Sixers, Nets, Hawks, Heat, Magic) (Nets first round loss in 2021 covid year was missing Jaylen) Having the Jays play together is a guarantee to make at least the 2nd round. Also a fun fact, the Jays have eliminated 7 different teams ...

Whenever I visit China I see very little to almost no homeless people. So where do they stay? Or are there just no homeless or very little homeless people in China?
As the Celtics apparently break another franchise, can we all just appreciate what a competent front office and GM we have. Imagine if we had an idiot GM that traded away Tatum for 31 year old AD and a first round pick.
What move will Brad make this year as trade deadline approaches His First year in 2022 he made a huge trade in getting us D White and also reunited us with Theis In 2023 he made a low risk move in adding more shooting by adding Muscala Last year 2024 he added extra front court insurance in Xavier Tillman which paid off big when KP got injured. We still have most of our future first round picks so ...

As crazy as it seems after just winning the chip, Celtics are actually in a better position to improve their roster than other contenders. With the exception of OKC, Celtics still have more draft picks than all other contenders. Celtics owe a pick swap in 2028 to the Spurs and their 2029 FRP to the Trailblazers but we control all other FRPs. Meanwhile Bucks don’t own or control any of their FRPs...

I know the Mavs have insane offensive talent in Kyrie and Luka. But can we just for a moment acknowledge how good the Pacers were. Siakam averaged 23.3 ppg on 55% shooting this series. Along with 7 rebounds and 5 assist a game. He had stretches where he couldn’t miss from midrange. Nembhard averaged 21 ppg and 8apg this series. On 54% from the field and 48% from 3. Once Hali went down those aver...
Not only was it a gutsy win. This was our first Game 1 win of the ECF since we battled Lebron in 2018. Since then we have lost all game 1s in the ECF.
Celtics win their 60th game of the season. The Celtics are on pace to win 65 games. If we do win 65 games, this Celtics team will be the only team in NBA history to win 65 games without an MVP or a player who has won MVP. The disrespect the league and the media has shown Tatum despite being the best player on one of the best regular season teams of all time is literally historic.

As the Celtics win their 7th straight game in the row, this is the longest win streak KP has been a part of in the NBA.

I watched the first 7 seasons of the office in like 3 weeks. I’ve been watching season 8 for like 3 weeks now as well. It’s hard to watch, it’s just not engaging anymore. The quality decline in my opinion compared to the first 7 seasons, especially S3-S6 is evident. Steve Carell’s absent really made the show so much worse. Should I continue watching?

It felt like JB’s playmaking has gotten a lot better. He had 7 assist and 0 turnovers against the Pelicans a while ago. And it felt like he regulalry has games dishig out 5 or more assists now. And so I looked over his game log. In 44 games this season Jaylen Brown already has 15 games with 5 or more assists. Meanwhile in 67 games last season Jaylen Brown only had 14 games with 5 or more assists...
Heat lost by 9 to the Memphis 3rd stringers. They have now lost 4 in a row to sub 500 teams. How are they objectively a mid team but so good against us and the Bucks? They just hit insane 3s and shots against us that they miss against any other team. And when they get to the Finals where they had no business being they revert back to being the mid team that they are.
In my opinion one of Brad’s most underrated move this offseason was not matching Grant’s 4 year 54M dollar contract. Instead he traded him to Dallas which netted us a nice 6.2TPE and 2 2nd round picks. (One of which is the 2024 Spurs pick which should be in the 31-35 range this year). Just as interesting a move was after that he instead extended PP to a 4 year 30M dollar contract extension. Al...

According to Tankathon, the Celtics have the 3rd easiest schedule left behind the Wolves and the Sixers. Bucks have the 13th Hardest schedule left Pacers have the 11th Hardest schedule left Heat have the 10th easiest schedule left Magic have the 6th easiest schedule left. And the Pistons have the hardest schedule left lol. Celtics are very good position to be in the number 1 seed despite key playe...
Anybody else see it? After the game Pat Bev came in to shake PP’s hand and he just walked away. PP seems like a good dude, anybody know what’s going on there lol.
As of today’s game the Celtics are 8-2. Tatum leads the entire league in the Net Rating. Our entire starting 5 plus PP are also in the top 21 for Net Rating. Tatum is first White is 4th KP is 8th Holiday is 11th PP is 16th Brown is 21st
Me and my wife are planning to take a short vacation to shanghai next year and are thinking of taking a day trip to Hangzhou to see the West Lake and other attractions? To those that have been there is it worth the visit?
Al shot 1-6 from 3s tonight. In the season he is shooting just 22% from 3 going 5-22 from 3. In the playoffs last season elite shooter Al Horford shot 27% from 3 against the Heat and the Sixers. This is incredibly concerning for our 6th starter. What’s even more concerning is over half his field goals are 3 point attempts.
I’m glad HHH is the booker now. Guys like Cody Rhodes and Drew Mcintyre can finally finish their stories and get their deserved world titles. Reigns matches will stop being so predictable. And no more endless Judgement Day storylines. So different and so much better than Mchitler’s booking.

I know it’s game 2 into the season. But the Hawks just handed the Bucks a giant blowout at home. Dame only scored 6 points and had 6 TO the whole game. A lot of us are rightfully worried about the Bucks but so far our number 1 rival in the East looks far from unbeatable. EDIT Middleton was out. But Giannis and Dame and Brook and all their other players played significant minutes.

HHH is booking things so much better with new main event match ups every week unlike Mchitler who ran the same matches and rematches every week.

I’ve read a lot about how it restricts flexibility. But if we are already a stacked team with solid core of White, Tatum, Brown, KP and Rob, with Al, Brogdon, Grant, PP, Hauser, Walsh, etc to fill out the roster. Does it really matter if we cross the 2nd tax line since we most likely will not be needing any additional players anymore? If ownership is willing to spend and pay ridiculous amounts, ...

I noticed in season six the series really made a point to show how powerless the mob was against even bigger mobs. Those mobs being big corporations, insurance companies, and organized religions. We see Tony get shaken down by the insurance lady while he’s still in the hospital bed just after being shot. We see Paulie being shaken down for more money by the Priest for Elzear’s gold hat. We see...

Yes Joe could have coached better. But you all are forgetting that Ime and Brad got outcoached by Spo too. Spo is just an all time great coach. And for some reason our players really struggle against the Heat zone and closing out on their shooters. Tatum and Brown get rattled by the zone for some reason and keep making dumb turnovers. That isn’t on Joe, the players have to play with better compo...
Jimmy is willing his team to beat that overrated Bucks team. Man that is one dangerous first round match up.

I get very valid criticism of Joe’s coaching and the apparent lack of effort. Grant and Rob have both been frustrating this year as well. But thus far this team has always responded when it goes through a rough patch. In late December this team lost 5 out of 6 games and people were questioning whether the hot start was just a fluke. The team responded by winning 13 out of the next 15 games. In l...

Everybody knows he was an ass muncher. Why was he calling Adriana while Christopher was away? We know Vito doesn't find women appealing since his hot goomar never got laid. Also aren't they related since Richie Aprile is an uncle to them both? Unless that's another loose use of the term cousin or uncle or whatever happened there.

You guys are all walt fucking whitman coming up with these puns so have at it. I want a Sopranos related name or pun for my fantasy bball team. Thanks in advance.
Can I just say this because I don't see it enough. Drew Mcintyre is one of the most selfless stars of this era. First the guy is in terrific shape and looks like a comic book super hero. He has great size and athleticism. He Connects with the crowd really well. He puts on great matches with just about everyone and has really improved on the mic. Guy is the utmost professional and a work horse. Wre...

I love our tribal chief but I can’t be the only one rubbed the wrong way by having one guy hold both world titles and him not even show up on Raw and Smackdown most weeks and skip non major PPVs. Honestly this was a huge opportunity to at least let Drew win one of the titles so we can at least see one title regularly on TV or on PPVs. It really devalues both title in my opinion to not see them b...
Rewatching the Sopranos a third time and Ralph tells people that Tracey was pregnant but it wasn't his kid and Tracey expected him to take care of the baby. At first it seems like an obvious lie but when I think about it more, Ralph was probably telling the truth.

This is the first match in a while where I honestly don’t know who wins. I definitely want Drew to win though after everything he’s done for the WWE; he deserves it. This rivalry could be legendary with how good it has been booked so far and how good both guys are in the ring and on the mic.

Do you guys think Livia would have been till the end of the series like Uncle Junior if the actress didn't die? Just curious what the original plan was.
Just confused he was featured regularly on NXT 2.0 and then without warning he hasn’t been seen. A bit unfortunate since I thought he was a young and good prospect and is one of the few Chinese wrestlers in America.

I like that WWE is in a clear direction to get younger. It started with NXT 2.0 and getting new raw younger talent in their 20s instead of older more established indie guys in their 30s. MITB this year is the best example of this so far. The two MITB winners Liv Morgan is 28 and Theory is 24. The only wrestler over 40 years old in the entire PPV are Lashley and Sheamus. Both of whom are full time ...
Genuinely curious. Why do you guys think we didn’t match the Hawks offer. We still have all our picks and could have gotten Murray under our TPE so the Spurs wouldn’t even have to take salary in rerturn. And Hawks are set to be a good young team as well so it’s not like the picks they got are a lot more valuable than ours. It seems like Murray could have really helped us. That seems like a l...

We've seen Sensui hover around the S class but was still easily dispatched by Raizen. It was established that of the known characters Raizen was by far the strongest in his prime. But it's funny that we never even got to see Sensui in his prime. If Sensui was healthy and allowed to continue at his pace. Could he have eventually rivaled the 2 weaker Kings and maybe even Raizen?

His averages over 3 elimination games this season. (Game 6 and 7 against Bucks and Game 7 vs Heat) Tatum shows up when it matters. Hopefully he can continue to add to his legacy the next 2 games.
Ownership didn’t want to go into the tax because they felt like we couldn’t win this year. We are just 2 wins away from the championship right now and we seem to be close but not quite there yet. If we had only added another proven shooter or ball handler instead of dodging the tax.
