Close game in Memphis.

Smart back to bad shooting and multiple turnovers.

Nesmith averaging 13/4 on a 68% TS, 49% from three on high volume.

Good for him, that 3/33 contract will be a steal.

Yeah, happy for Nesmith. He wasn't going to get the opportunity with this roster having 2 all star wings in the lineup. I just wish Joe recognizes things like these where players who flourish on other teams just needed the playing time to prove their worth.

Watching the Nuggets - Warriors game. Can someone remind me again why the Celtics did'nt go after Aaron Gordon when he became available? Such a terrific glue guy for the Nuggets.

Cs didn't want to give up 2 1st round picks for him.

Didn't the Nuggets just give up 1 first round pick in that trade? I recall there was definitely interest from the Celtics org on Gordon at that time.

Yeah, the asking price was 2 1st rounders.

When the deadline got closer, there were no takers, so the Magic had to settle for 1 1st rounder and the Cs opted for getting Fournier basically for nothing.

That was very cringey, yet for some reason I watched until the end.

Don't judge me

Unfortunately I might have to miss the next several games since I'll be camping out at the new LeBron James museum waiting for it to open.

Seriously though, Bron's foundation takes donations to do charitable work but now is spending it on a museum about himself. Kinda gross imo.

Dameless Bucks getting rocked by the Pacers. 27-9 with 5 mins left in the 1st. They play hella fast.

Thanasis might play tonight.

Forget the Bucks, the Sixers are the real threat in the east.

That man is really all about himself first and foremost. Such an egomaniac.

Now that they have a real coach they are certainly a threat. This ain't your Doc Rivers sixers.
