4 Players in the Top 30. Not too shabby.


Philly is going to be a problem if Maxey keeps playing this well. They have a lot of currency to go out and get another piece or two. Already they are playing like a top 2-3 team in the league right now.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Celtics -4 favorites.

FUN TIDBIT: Like the Grizzlies (0-11), the Timberwolves (0-10) have yet to win a game against Jayson Tatum.

Not surprisingly, they're less obnoxious and less insufferable than fans of teams like the heat, bucks, knicks and Lakers.

People out in that part of the country are usually more laid back..


To be fair you have to lump us in with the insufferable teams, maybe replace the bucks with philly.

That hoopshype stat is considered a joke to the actual analytics people, FWIW.

Meanwhile, here’s some more Celtics propaganda.

Well hell. We're going to be at a major size disadvantage vs the Wolves double bigs if KP is out. And then no Queta and maybe no Brissett either. Horf will step up and we'll need another good Luke game.

Still winnable. Crash the boards and run it and gun it!

No but for real, i have a stye on both lids from trauma to them. One of them is small and hardly noticeable because of the traumatic experience of having the eye doc remove it. The other one is growing and I’ll likely have to have it removed but I’m doing everything i can to make it release on its own! Even my high tolerance for pain was no match, inside i was losing my mind! The four sticks by the needle to the lid was very uncomfortable but manageable, then they stuck the thing behind the bone around my eye and flipped it, i thought i saw the devil!! Apparently they usually strap folk down but circumstances didn’t allow for me to be… I see why, i can’t see how people with normal pain tolerance would be okay.



With all that said, Porzi is tripping, the pain from a stye is nothing IMO, the only reason I knew they were there was because it impaired my vision. If he can see, put him out there, if he can’t see CUT HIM and send him out there!! :lol: :lol:

We can't have Porzingis give everyone in daycare a pink eye.

Would definitely change the matchup to more defensive slugfest. I’d play a lot of stevens to guard kat or gobert when they have double bigs out there. Have to pray he can hit enough corner 3’s when gobert cheats of him. Ofc it might just come down to which one of Jaylen/tatum/ant pop off.

Getting mcdaniels in foul trouble is key.

Alternatively start hauser and guard kat with jrue.

I wonder if the Celtics will bring up Nathan Knight.
