If Duke wins vs. Houston as expected, the friendship between Tatum and Horford might be on the line. Gators vs. Blue Devils for all the marbles. This could seriously endanger our title repeat chances.

Boston plays at 6PM.
Maine plays at 7PM.

He's been recalled to the big club and is not listed on the injury report. So presumably he's AVAILABLE to play for Boston.

Their friendship is safe but Tatum might be distraught for a while...

Hope he lets out his frustration over the loss and put 80 on Wizards' head.

Thread title candidates:

Wizards Engandalfed
Something about Washington DC dysfunction
Washington Impeached
Washington Fails Monumentally
Wizards Wand-er Into Oblivion/Irrelevance/etc.
Wizard Fans Left Wand-ering

Hmm. The Wand puns might be better for the Magic.

The Monument pun was the only George Washington one I could think of that wasn't too long.

Oh, wait ...

Celtics Throw Washington Across the Potomac

You guys better be careful or you'll end up being in charge of the postgame threads. Pretty sure this is how I ended up doing them haha. One minute I was making jokes and the next minute it was my job lol.

I'm a consultant. I advise, but others implement.

Or the thread title could focus on Marcus Smart ...

ConstableGeneva · Post #16 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Sun Apr 6, 2025 7:51 pm

Team as a whole is just making 33.0% on 16.6 pullup threes per game while making 39.2% on 29.8 C&S threes. Take more conscientious shots, guys.

We're 15th in 3FG% on pullups but 1st in attempts. Cavs, in comparison, are 1st in FG% and 3rd in attempts.
