    Round 3: Celtics vs Pacers

    Boston's games against Indiana this year: Nov 1, 2023: Bos 155, Ind 104 in Boston Indiana was without Haliburton, which obviously hurt them, but this was a Celtic steamroller right from the jump. Eight guys in double figures, led by Tatum's 30 on 9-15 shooting. Boston shot 56.8% from the floor...

    Round 3: Celtics vs Pacers

    I mean, you've got one of the best regular season teams in the last, what, 15-20 years, going up against the #6 seed? Yeah, it should be a big line.

    2024 PGA Championship - Valhalla

    Yep. I wonder how much conversation happens during the round. Like, when Xander hit a good shot, did Morikawa say something like, "Great shot, Xander", or did he just do his own thing? Or when they were talking about who would pitch onto the green first, did Collin say, "Come on, knock this one...

    Good thing the hole is round. But it's a swish in the scorebook.

    He's in pretty good shape now for the birdie. Won't be easy, with tons of pressure, but he's in great position for a pitch and putt for the win.

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

    For sure, Duran or Abreu or Wong could enter a long stretch of playing poorly and their bWAR number will decrease; it won't just remain static until he plays better again. The point I'm making is simply that Duran has been, so far, one of the better players in all of MLB to this point in the...

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

    Re: Duran. They are now 28% through the regular season, and Duran already is at 2.7 bWAR. That projects to a 9.5 bWAR season, which would make him one of the best Red Sox players in the last decade. Sox' top bWAR players by year since 2013: 2013: Pedroia, 6.1 2014: Pedroia, 3.9 2015: Betts...

    Refs gone wild: a place to complain about NBA referees and propose solutions to improving officiating

    Yeah, I was just about to reply to kazuneko but you did it. I mean, Kyrie corralled the miss and laid it in for the presumptive win anyway. If anything, Dallas should have been mad at the foul call because it took away a free Kyrie layup and put Washington at the line, where he easily could have...

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

    Rafaela, from Apr 9-May 18: 129 PA, 122 AB, 12 R, 23 H, 7 2b, 4 HR, 18 RBI, .189/.213/.344/.557, with a .218 BABIP And in one game, he went 4-4 with 2 doubles and a homer, so aside from that, his numbers have been catastrophically bad. Plus, his defense has waned. Under normal circumstances...

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

    After play on May 1, the Sox were 18-13 and just 1.5 games out of first place. Since then: 4-11 record 47 runs scored, 68 runs allowed (-21 run differential, -1.4 runs per game differential) 3.1 runs per game scored, 4.5 runs allowed per game only 5 out of the 15 games have they scored more...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    As someone who has been a big WNBA fan since the beginning, I just want to say how pleased I am that the league is being discussed this much here at SOSH and around the country.

    2024 PGA Championship - Valhalla

    What I loved about this situation (which is totally ridiculous) is that everyone seemed to have Scottie's back. The overall sense from everyone was that of all the people in the PGA, Scheffler is the last guy you'd ever imagine being involved in anything like this - he has that great of a...

    Roasted GOAT

    For a guy with a great sense of humor (Peyton), I'm pretty sure jokes like that would make him absolutely livid. So there's always a line with everyone.

    Who to sell at the trade deadline?

    Jansen - yes, trade, because you've got Hendriks coming back and he can slide into the closer's role Martin - yes, trade Pivetta - yes, trade - just plug Giolito into his spot in 2025 O'Neill - hmmmm....I am unsure about this one, as I've said in a previous post. I think I'd explore an...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Miller is definitely in the inner circle of all timers but her USC teams were LOADED in a time when there wasn’t nearly as much talent spread throughout the country. And she “only” won two titles. I mean, Miller’s resume is ridiculously great. It’s just that it’s almost impossible to match...

    The WNBA: Thread II

    Yeah, Clark is the most electric college player ever but not the GOAT. That title is indisputably Breanna Stewart's. Yes, she played with much better players than Clark did, but Stewart's college resume will never be topped. Oh, and also, she's: - 2x WNBA champ - 2x WNBA MVP - 2x WNBA finals...

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

    I was really hoping for Boston vs. New York in the eastern finals in both the NBA and NHL. Oh well.

    It really is brutal how often the Bruins lose playoff games at home. Even when they're really, really good.
