Poor Magic...NOT

Brad likes his extensions and with guys like Hauser who are pure 3nD types you might not be far off w/ the $

I agree. The NBA salaries like NFL are constantly going up.. if I had to bet.. he likely test himself in FA to level up a deal with the Cs.. we have so many young guys at the end of the roster.. Hopefully some of these guys develop and contribute next next year if we loose sam.

After a win is a great time to go back and rehash what was posted. Pritchard ended up hitting another fluke 3 and by the response of some of the Mavs it took the life out of them. It also ignited the crowd.

He was put in the game for that exact reason. I would bet he can hit 2 out 10 of these shots in practice. Someone should have asked him that question post game.
I actually called it as soon as I saw PP on the floor.

Bottom line is that this bunch is a veritable all-star team. Now, let's see what can be maintained from this roster for next year.

Good for Horford. Good for Tatum/Brown getting that monkey off their backs. Good for Mazzulla coming of age as a HC.

And good for ME not having to hear Doris Burke prattle on with faux expertise one ... minute ... longer.

she is nails on the chalkboard

True. I did like how at the end of the game she did say Flopcic- while great as he is, could take his game to the next level with better conditioning and committing to developing his body. Shes not wrong.

That and shut his pie hole and quit *****ing about calls that don't go his way every 5 minutes.

The Devils carry the NJ label, Islanders are LI. Like a rock throw from NYC

My bad. You are right
NY. 8 teams over 23 years. 3 titles
Boston. 4 teams over 23 years. 13 titles

Jrue & DWhite. Both provided great offense and defense all year and provided a calmness and stability that was desperately needed. Having both these guys is a serious luxury, no championship would be won without them.

Those two are the essential glue.

How anyone can actually listen to her is mystifying. I don't care how much she studies the game, her presence is a DEI contrivance and her voice/delivery are irritating as hell. I can tune out what she's saying but the sound, ugh. Dozens of men who played or coached in the NBA would add so much more to the broadcast.

BTW, this team trip to Miami is a disappointing look, IMO. If those guys wanted to OWN Boston, they'd do something locally.

I actually think she’s pretty good

I don’t have anything against Doris Burke. I preferred when they had Van Gundy in the booth but I think she’s decent. Fans seem to hate her.

She knows what she’s talking about and isn’t shy to call a player out for playing poorly.

She has cringe moments here and there but overall I'm fine with her too. I don't really pay extra attention to the announcers anyways. They have to be really good or bad for me to care at all. I'm focused on the game.

I agree. Just pointing out shes spot on.

No color commentator is perfect. I'm ok with her. She isn't perfect but thats fine.

Yea that kinda irks me a bit, too but i'm thinking they are doing this for two reasons.

1) **** the Heat. Party on their turf. I think that is part of the thinking.
2) Pags has a sweet crib in North Palm Beach so they might be spending some time there.

The important thing is that they get tarred by the suckitude brush as much as they deserve. We don't want to be letting those azzclowns off any lighter in the shame game than they've earned with their ineptitude. F'n losers

Poor Magic...NOT

I hate that an LA team takes credit for 5 of Minneapolis, MN's NBA titles. Sorry LA - you have 12 NBA titles, not 17.

Boston, on the other hand, had all 18 of those Celtics championship runs happen right there at the Garden in Boston's North End.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

If you're a Celtics fan of age (breathing or not), you must hate the filthy McNasty Lakers and respect them if you care to.

Weren't McFilthy and McNasty the Pistons Ruland and Mahorn??
Edit- or was it the Bullets???
Didn't one of them have a mother who wrote to Johnny Most and he gave it right back on air
IIRC "Mrs. MAhorn, your son committed another foul" or am I misremembering??

 

[Brewskies]

I am so glad that I got to see them earn the #18 banner. I was hoping that would happen in my lifetime.

Outstanding Job Celtics ...Thanks

MY MVP Championship Round

Game 1 Porzingis
Game 2 Holiday
Game 3 Brown
Game 4 no one
Game 5 Tatum

 

[The Brandon Five]

My bad. You are right

Boston. 4 teams over 23 years. 13 titles

They were a helmet catch and Wes Welker dropped pass away from being 1 title in 13 years. And Boston would have had 15.
