    Roasted GOAT

    While I don't exactly have a ton of empathy for Giselle, it is fair to criticize Brady for putting their kids in an awkward situation. He could have agreed to the roast while nipping any Bridget/Giselle jokes in the bud early on. But that's his cross to bear, and he has at least acknowledged...

    OTAs? More like OT-Maye's

    Yeah, I think the headline and opening paragraphs indicate that the writer needs to learn a bit more how NFL rosters work. There's zero benefit to cutting Ryland now; same with most of the other players mentioned. Boutte costs next to nothing and is worth giving another look in August. JuJu...

    Game 6 - It was not Death, for I stood up

    The roster paid the price for going all in last season. But they'll have a shit ton of cap space, and only a couple of players they need to resign (Swagman, maybe DeBrusk). And Ullmark should net them a nice return this summer. Poitras is expected back as well, and we may see some organic...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    The series loss to the Heat had multiple factors, but the Celtics failing to "flip a switch" wasn't one of them. Brogdon got hurt, which put too much of the backcourt responsibilities into the hands of a rapidly declining Marcus Smart. Mazzulla had zero support from his coaching staff and was...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Yea, my son, his friend, and I were talking, and saying that Al looks cooked. This was early in the first half. He must have heard us from our TV room ;) Series is OVAH! 5 games is about as good as one could hope for given an injured KP. There are no demerits for winning ugly in the playoffs.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    It was a road playoff win against a decent team, albeit one without its best player. Cavs followed the "formula" to beat the Celtics (take lots of 3's while limiting the 3 point attempts by Boston), but still lost at home. I get the concern that the team they were facing was not the Nuggets...

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Tatum made an amazing pass on the drive to a wide open Brown outside the arc to clinch the game late in the 4th. Just sayin' there's a lot more than shooting percentages when it comes to a player's impact.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Tatum seemed more comfortable taking shots last night. One more 3 attempt made and he would have been 37.5% for the night. And the misses seemed more like random (shit) luck than anything; he made a couple of tough shots as well. Statistical slumps tend to come and go without warning, but...

    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...
