    Game 3- Panthers @ Bruins

    I don't believe there is such thing as playoff defenseman vs regular season defenseman. But there is a huge coaching disparity in this series, and it could be Montgomery's last.

    Game 3- Panthers @ Bruins

    Bruins roster is getting badly exposed here. Definitely over performed during the regular season, but hard to keep that up against a quality opponent. Florida's 2nd and 3rd lines are way better than Boston's and it's not close.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    And Boston teams are a collective 0-4 in Game 2's this spring.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Celtics lost 22% of games they played this season. Now that the competition has improved, they lost 28.5% of games so far. They will lose games, even at home. What I find potentially troubling is not the their home playoff record (lots of weirdness there, including last season's 1-3 against...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Look at the playoff records of past NBA champions. Nearly all had inexplicable home losses in their game logs. That is my copium for the day.

    Evaluating the Front Office

    That article is using the authors obviously incorrect interpretation of the Rooney rule to make the claim: There is nothing in the Rooney Rule that would have prevented Eliot Wolf from making the final calls on draft day.

    Big Baby Davis

    It was an organized scheme and cost the plan $5M. And his role in the scheme was apparently quite prominent. Don’t know if his prior felony assault conviction had anything to do with this sentence, but he wasn’t some rube who got caught up with something after being manipulated.

    Celtics vs Da Culture - Round 1 (FIGHT!)

    Butler is entering the last year of his contract (with the following year being a player option). Riley is not going to let the salary slot and trade chit walk out the door in 2025 for nothing, and sign-and-trade transactions have essentially been made impossible with the new CBA. So, the most...

    Tatum or Ant?

    It's the assessment of Tatum's performance in Miami being subpar that is objectively wrong. Has nothing to do with Anthony Edwards.

    Evaluating the Front Office

    It's obviously not possible for us to know how these moves will all play out 3-4 years from now, which is the correct time horizon to judge draft picks. All we can evaluate is the process, and to do that we have imperfect information before us (none of us were in the planning meetings in...

    Tatum or Ant?

    The POINTZ comment was not directed at the Edwards vs Tatum comparison (which goes well beyond scoring), but the comment that Tatum somehow had a subpar series against Miami. Nobody doubts that points are valuable. However, team points scored and points allowed are also valuable metrics.

    Round 2 Bruins-Panthers

    Since we enjoy parallels to the past, I'll add one. The 2010 Bruins were reverse swept by the Flyers, due in part to some untimely injuries. The 2011 Bruins started their playoff run with a seventh game against nemesis Montreal. Nathan Horton's OT goal temporarily ended the rising "Fire...

    Yep, it’s all about the POINTZ when it comes to Tatum.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    I remember being told that the Lakers would (a) have no problem finding a 3rd star to pair with AD and LeBron; and (b) the quality of the rest of their roster wouldn't matter, and (c) they would get the best ring chasers to flock to them anyway, so their rotation players would still be decent...

    An Ode to the Fallen: 2024 - 2025 Offseason Thread

    IMHO, it's way too early to declare Giannis best days behind him. The injury was more untimely than anything else, and is unlikely to be anything chronic. However, the Bucks are old and have zero draft capital to trade. Lillard and Middleton are on the wrong side of the aging curve. They'll...

    Game 6 at Toronto

    It's time for him to throw the officials under the bus in a big way. Works for everyone else.

    Game 6 at Toronto

    The team's roster limitations have been badly exposed the last 2 games. They are beaten to every single loose puck due to their lack of skating speed. And no finishers near the net.
