    2024 NBA Draft

    Agree with all of that. Any role-playing NBA career would be a pretty great outcome for Bronny (or nearly every NBA prospect). He does have the athleticism and basic basketball skillset that it's at least a reasonable possibility. As an aside, Rivers is another pedigree player that I wouldn't...

    2024 NBA Draft

    I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on Sierra Canyon basketball, but the school has been a national recognized team for awhile (and still is). Their worst season in the National and California rankings in a decade was Bronny's senior year. If he had the capability of being a more...

    2024 NBA Draft

    Was Bradley a high BBiQ player? I feel like there is some disconnect with that comp for anyone claiming Bronny is high BBiQ player. Also, FWIW, Sierra Canyon went 26-5 the year after Bronny left. Bronny's senior year was their worst season in many years (since at least 2014). And they have been...

    2024 NBA Draft

    I guess we will see :) What do you think of the Avery Bradley comp? I've seen a lot of talk about "playing within his offensive limitations" as somehow indicative of his basketball IQ. I mean.... he barely accomplishes anything on offense. I guess that is playing within his limitations? He...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Agreed. Calling the Cavs without Mitchell and Allen good is bananas. They are a 48 win team without their two best players. They are now forced to play rotation guys starter minutes and play guys like the corpse of Tristan Thompson actual NBA playoff bench minutes in 2024. Garland and Mobley...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. Transferred to the 60 Day IL on 4/27.

    Not the same, but sometimes they just are not that precise with terminology. The ribs turn into cartilage before connecting to the sternum. Sometimes they just say ribs to keep it simple, but presumably if it's been described as cartilage by a legit source at some point, then the cartilaginous...

    2024 NBA Draft

    Strong disagree on his BBiQ. People want him to be smart and savvy out there but he just isn't. At least not yet. He would have been far better in high school and college with his athletic skillset if he knew what he was doing out there. What kind of high BBiQ really good athlete has already...

    2024 NBA Draft

    I've seen this comp also and think it's a pretty good upside. Bradley had probably proven he was going to be good on D more than Bronny at this stage, but the same type of raw athlete, no handle, undersized SG with good wingspan, low BBiQ, definitely not a PG type of prospect.

    2024 NBA Draft

    Some people want to give him intangible skills because the on-court tangible product has been underwhelming (plus his Dad is a Savant). He actually got his Dad's uber-athlete gene (not quite as good, though surprisingly close). But he's short, can't see the floor, is a below average passer, is...

    2024 NBA Draft

    The somewhat ironic evaluation on Bronny has always been that he doesn’t really know how to play basketball. His athelticism has always been underrated if anything, and the combine is going to show off what he’s good at. Doing drills and running/jumping around. When he gets on the court, the...

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    That Lavert meaningless jumper was not fun for the Celtics-8.5 crowd

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Strus commits his 26th foul of the game and finally fouls out

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    The 5 man for the rest of the game should probably be Kornet or Tatum

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    His charge taking is 100x worse than his dribbling (the dribbling isn't good either). he almost never even tries, which is for the best. But when he does he has zero feel for how to do it and just sticks his legs out at the last second.

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Not sure I've seen someone worse at something than Jaylen trying to take a charge.

    Jaylen just forgot to play basketball for 20 seconds

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Definitely. If a guys head is right next to your foot (and the ball is coming in from out of bounds) you have a choice how you want get down the court. He obviously tried to run directly over Jaylen's head and didn't have to.

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    One strange officiating thing that's happened (even more with the new rules).... Any attempt at a posterizing jam is never called a foul on the defense. It's like they've been instructed to just let it go and see what happens. It's become a very low percentage poor offensive play, because the...

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    We lost KP but in general the parting of the seas for the Celtics (at least in the East) has reached crazy levels. Almost all the top players on the other contenders got hurt and couldn’t play or have played in a limited fashion.

    5/13 - G4 @ CLE - Didn't Come to Cleveland for the Weather

    Yes, he’s almost certainly done. This should definitely now be a 5 game series, though every time this Celtics team thinks they can coast… they try to.
