    Al Horford - the Celtics' Resurrected Saviour of the Season

    In old man related stuff.... While the ECF is strictly every other night, the finals have 2 days off after every game except game3.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I mentioned this in a gamethread, but JM's pregame chats with Grande are really good. Grande gets him talking details and loosens him up, and JM sounds like Belichick discussing the historical development of right guard blocking techniques in his Friday press conferences. He'd vaporize Barkley...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Good point. It's neither Showtime nor Jews-in-tight-shorts running weave after weave.

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

    With Marchand actually getting hurt on a play that, deep down, the league knows was dirty shit that was missed, I think the Bruins will get some calls tonight. (I haven't been drinking or smoking yet)

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

    Forbort was seen running very slowly from the scene; and then he inexplicably turned back toward the hotel.

    2024 PGA Championship - Valhalla

    Big mistake letting an ass guard Valhalla. See also, prom night.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Sure, but that's mostly (if not completely) because two Cavs players had their best games of the season (or maybe their lives). I agree that if two players on the next opponent do that every game, the Celtics will lose the series. The larger point is that it's way too easy to just say "the...

    OTAs? More like OT-Maye's

    It shouldn't bother me; yet here I am: I'd like to think it's a clever play on words, but I doubt it.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I think what's missing from the bolded is that those "good, healthy, well-coached teams" also get "bored, complacent or distracted" sometimes (or, more generally, just suffer from some temporary malady that causes them to look like shit).

    May: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    I haven't done the legwork that others have, but this year's close losses seem to be from the lack of hitting. The pitching holds everyone to 4 or fewer. The offense just can't get there. "Things starting to align" is almost entirely "if the offense can get a bit better." (and hopefully the...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    And if Mitchell AND Levert are playing, Morris might not be (or would've played a lot less).

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    As do all teams. But do the Celtics do it significantly more (or less) than other teams? As for the narrative - - -remember, most of the talking heads are checking a box ("sorry, Biff, tonight you have to talk about how both the playoff losses were "'blueprints.'") in order to poison the...

    And unlike Seattle, they aren't getting the HRs that might make the K's "worth it."

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I dont know if it's his health, and there may be numbers that undercut my eyes, but Tillman has looked not-good about 75% of the time I've seen him play.
