    Derrick White, playoff Alpha

    Seems like a better fit than Dort or Giddey next to SGA, too, if you needed a veteran leader there as well.

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (4) LA Clippers vs (5) Dallas Mavericks

    Playoff Harden? I saw this earlier. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/james-harden-sets-dreadful-playoff-record-in-game-5-loss/ar-AA1o26FD The excellent games he's had seem to get overlooked by his futility in shooting in these games. Nobody's gonna remember his game 4 when he follows it...

    I suspect some of this might be related to Pelinka being a proxy for LeBron, who is probably sensitive to the "Lebron's gonna trade you!" comments after Westbrook/Davis. Must be hard to be LeGM with teammates wondering if you're gonna trade them.

    Cancun, Cancun on 3 is far, far better than anything I thought of, dammit.

    2024 Playoffs Eastern Conference First Round: (3) Milwaukee Bucks vs (6) Indiana Pacers

    To me, the most likely thing was he and the fan had been trashtalking all game, he lost the game, the fan basically had the "last word", and the Bev chucked the ball because he didn't have a rebuttal for "loooooser". Hence the general nonchalance of his teammates to the fan, etc and the laughter...

    He should be the Alpha and the Omega.

    Doc really does seem to coach a lot harder when he has no superstars to rely on.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    I was trying to ID the gesture and this seems like the best fit.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    I mean, I think the reason we have a sizeable lead in the first place is because it's far better to get Bam on KP and have their offense stagnate (since he doesn't pass well enough or is efficient enough or has enough gravity to pull people into doubling him) than to let someone open for 3's...

    2024 Playoffs Western Conference First Round: (3) Minnesota Timberwolves vs (6) Phoenix Suns

    I saw Heat being interested and being a final 3, but no specific clarity on what they offered. Probably Herro and picks? Link https://www.boston.com/sports/boston-celtics/2023/10/02/celtics-trade-jrue-holiday-nba-basketball-heat-clippers-basketball/

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    I mean, I think that normally wouldn't get too much attention, but throw in Wright suddenly turning into a flamethrower in that run, and Negative Man of the Doom Patrol would turn that into some imagined test of mental fortitude (which practically every playoff team would fail by those standards!)

    I blame New York and its media for the Jeterian treatment of Brunson.

    A rich man's Kenneth Faried? I kinda expect a similar career drop-off when his athleticism goes.
