Yeah, I agree but can't find fault with Grousbeck, he's been a truly great owner- the best in all Boston pro sports by far.

If they stay healthy they should be a wagon again and ring up another title.

Speaking of health, what's the word on Porzingas? I found this

Kristaps Porzingis shares another new look into injury recovery

I read something similar. This is positive meaning there haven't been any significant setbacks with his recovery (infection, etc)

With regard to timetables of return, as of this moment I don't think anything has changed. Last thing they or anyone want to do is rush him back.

However if he is 100% sooner than later maybe they accelerate things. Even then it'll be on limited minutes for the first few weeks.

If he can be in mid-season form by March and the team is playing to their potential that is all we can hope for.

The problem isn't him, it's his dad.

The problem isn't him, it's his dad.

I do not think there is any problem. I respect Wyc for paying at least a $80M yearly loss to see the Celtics succeed, but I can not fault his Dad for being a reponsible business owner.

It isn't about being a business owner. He's worried about his estate. That's been reported.

It isn't about being a business owner. He's worried about his estate. That's been reported.

That is being responsible. He is old and selling his shares. It is very normal. Millions of business shares are bought and sold daily. Wyc's Dad does not want to die and have his shares split up in the family which might create infighting. So he is selling his shares to a younger business entity. It is very responsible thinking.

I am not sure what your point is.

This confirms Tatum reads this thread daily

Jayson Tatum says he knew Boston would win title once Minnesota knocked Denver out

'I felt like Denver was the only team that they matched up best with us.'

This "reporting" on this topic has seemed based on fourth-hand information, and over time and repetition has become accepted at truth. There's far too much complexity and layers to family business and relationships to suggest that we will ever know what's actually happening. And they certainly don't owe us an explanation.

I absolutely love this trade as a Celtics fan.

1. I posted this in a game thread last year but Randle is a very tough matchup for us because he’s a classic power forward who can beat us in the paint. Our defense is predicated on quickness, not strength

2. KAT is an absolute fraud. His body language is laughable. He may be a talented player but he’s incredibly soft and is a fake star. I imagine the Wolves wanted to move him after the playoffs, when he got bullied by Dallas and became Craig Hodges for the series.

3. No longer sold on Knicks chemistry. I had them as a legit threat after adding Bridges. A tough, physical team with solid two way players. Now I don’t know. A lot of new parts. A lot of new personalities. Could also see them disappointing now.

Tatum absolutely cooking KAT

I think they’ll miss DiVincenzo too

Can't wait for the season.
Got League Pass now so never miss any games.
