You know the part where fans complain how the Celtics don't have a bench? We get to do it again, yay! Been doing it for years. Meanwhile, funny stat...



Only one team has a positive bench net rating since 2020. Who the **** still cares about "bench scoring" in 2024?

Haters that don't want to give Horford his sixth man of the year award.

Hmm that’s a very good point actually. Only issue is if he starts too much but he should be top 3 6MOTY favorite from the jump now that you mention it.

Just need Ante Zizic and Semi Ojeleye, then we have our reunion of the Celtics once-future-core.

Wait, do people still think we don't have a bench?

It's gonna be fun seeing what they can get out of Luke, X and Neems each night until KP returns. Lot's of minutes out there if KP is out until January.

In Celtics case, it's not mere shooting luck or Jedi defense, as demonstrated by their 3-pt defense against Dallas in the Finals. They for sure don't mind leaving the ATB 3s open esp to players like Derrick Jones Jr. and Exum while making sure they take away the corners as much as possible.

More proof that the Kornet Contest is revolutionary.

Horford at #96 (Numero uno en mi corazon). None of our starting 5 in the list so far. Also...

Remember Derrick White didn't even make top 100 last year.

Horford too low as usual. Hauser and Pritchard in the top 50 is a bit of a reach but I'll allow it.

Hey yo!

There's a 9 part documentary about our championship coming out on Oct 20th...

The wait is almost over. Get ready to relive the magic of last year’s title chase with this first-look trailer at ‘Raising 18,’ the new NBA original series streaming Oct. 20, exclusively on the NBA App.

Narrated by Al Horford, the nine-episode project provides an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the Celtics’ 2023-24 season, starting with the offseason acquisitions of Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday and culminating in the franchise capturing its record-breaking 18th NBA crown.

From preseason training camp all the way to Game 5 of the NBA Finals, experience the Celtics’ historic journey to the NBA mountaintop through the eyes of the players, coaches and team staff who made it happen.

The 2023-24 Celtics campaign was one for the ages. The team’s core of new faces, tenured veterans and proven superstars came together to win 80 combined regular season & playoff games, becoming just the 14th team in league history to do so.

“Every championship has a story,” Horford said. This is one you won’t want to miss.

I'm confused. Is this the 9-part documentary that was supposed to air on HBO Max in April 2025. Is this the trailer of that? Or is this an entirely different 9-part documentary?

I think it's different? This one is made by NBA exclusively for NBAapp/NBA.com. The other is produced by Bill Simmons for HBO. Weird that they are both 9 parts though.

OK, just saw the trailer. It is a different one. How many documentaries do we need? Kidding, that's rhetorical and the answer is ALL OF THEM. Just make sure they have enough tape for the documentary about the 19th banner, coming to theaters near you in Summer 2025.

Didn't know there were so many. I regularly listen to just two of these.
