    Joe Mazzulla officially named head coach

    He's such a psycho. It's awesome. Did he elaborate what those things were exactly?

    5/15 - G5 vs. CLE - Gentleman's Sweep

    When they get out and push Cleveland can't keep up. When they slow it down, it just allows them to settle in and they compete. Just push it.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Let's just get this to double digits and end it.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I hope, and expect, the Celts will come out aggressive and put them in a hole early. They've had enough of the shenanigans and Max Strus dick slaps. Do that, and the Cavs will happily fold by the early third quarter. We can then watch Pritchard get his 30 pts and throw lobs to Quetta.

    (2) Denver Nuggets vs (3) Minnesota Timberwolves - 2024 WC Second Round

    He looks cooked. That last few possessions were ugly. Edit: that stationary bike worked magic.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    It's not just that they lost twice at home, it's that they put up two real clunkers at home in games that were not close against clearly inferior teams. Overall through 9 games they have been very good, but it's reasonable to look at those two losses and have some concerns. The KP injury to me...

    Jaylen Brown: Will he be enough in Year 8?

    His first two FTs last night were real clunkers, but I think him getting right from the line after that was probably the best development of the night (other than the W). Didn't stop Greg Anthony from advocating for him to get fouled at the end.

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    If coaches thought like that, they would not last very long. They'll go all out all the time, but I could see a scenario that they rest some guys in the 2H of G6 if they are again down by 30 or something. Indy is also fully capable of shitting itself the next two games and having this end in 6.

    (1) OKC Thunder vs (5) Dallas Mavericks - 2024 WC Second Round

    And then calling some ticky tack stuff on in bounds plays and perimeter drives at the same time. Impossible to know what they will or will not call.

    Derrick White, playoff Alpha

    He was limping at one point. Thought he might have had a minor ankle tweak.

    (1) OKC Thunder vs (5) Dallas Mavericks - 2024 WC Second Round

    Fair enough. Although these rim running, D first bigs tend to get going quickly. Lively being one example.

    (1) OKC Thunder vs (5) Dallas Mavericks - 2024 WC Second Round

    Maybe they package some picks and move up for Clingan in the draft. They also really need SGA to initiate. Williams is great but not at that level.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Love it. This team is also much different from past iterations of the Jays. They may have their lulls but they snap out of it. LFG and make Strus cry in G5.

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    I still think they can get to a Game 7 in MSG and then who knows. They have done plenty this playoffs to make this summer and next year very interesting, on that I would agree.

    Jaylen Brown: Will he be enough in Year 8?

    This team doesn't have any crazy hype/energy players (unless you count Mazzulla or the Cryptoscammer). At some point they will probably need Jaylen to bring some of that to the table, even if it's a bit of a stretch for him. Although if they play Indy and then Denver or something, they may not...

    (1) OKC Thunder vs (5) Dallas Mavericks - 2024 WC Second Round

    That was a big swing and probably affects the younger teams more, but with DEN getting anything it wanted off the pick and roll with Murray and Jokic, I think Denver was going to take it in the 2H no matter what.

    Misc. Pats Offseason News

    They logo is too busy for my taste. Not sure you need the NE at all if you are going to put the full name in the roundel.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    You definitely should not. The NBA is littered with stars that would have a hard time with this though. None of them see themselves as game managers, like some NFL QBs might, particularly where the situation calls for it. The Celtics are very lucky to have a guy that doesn't seem to care...

    Arif Hasan Q&A

    Thanks for pulling this all together @SMU_Sox @Dogman. Short question from me @ArifMHasan. I would be very interested to get your overall assessment of drafting for need vs. BPA. These tend to be presented as mutually exclusive choices, and I can't imagine teams think of things that way...

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    I think the Knicks' destiny this year is to play like hell but make it very clear they are a player short from true contention (even if Randle was healthy). Then this summer gets very interesting for them.
