Bump!

Many here on short memories.

Remember last night?

All the negativity and the subsequent eating of Crow?

Just wait till the midnight hour!

I met Larry Bird!

I'm surprised it wasn't the end of my media career because it went basically how any kid who grew up in Boston in the 80s meeting The Legend would go. I'm sure I came off like a complete moron. But he couldn't have been nicer. Cracked a joke about how bad Summer League ball is and said he appreciated me saying he was one of my basketball heroes.

We're basically best friends now. If I was handier with this stuff, I'd post that seen from Step Brothers where they say "Did we just become best friends?".

Don't worry, dude. We got you covered. Video evidence of Smitty meeting Larry Bird:

But at the end of the day out of the 6 teams it has come down to 3, and that is a huge step to be considered over LAC/Spurs/Miami.. Should put us in line for next years FA crop nicely if we can have a good showing in the playoffs.

The article said Durant is "seriously considering" Boston this year. So I mean the wording...if true...says we are in the running :nod:

Here's praying for Durant to the Celtics but for my own sanity I will pretend that we are 3rd favourites by a hair.

If Durant decides not to come to Boston, I can certainly understand why he would go to GSW or remain at OKC. I think Boston has been given serious consideration and that bodes well for 2017 free agency as it shows that one of the premier players in the game was (and still is) seriously considering joining the Celtics in a weak FA year.

If Horford can click and Jaylen Brown can show glimpses of stardom augmented with a decent playoff run, then next year Boston should be prime candidate for a superstar joining the team. No knowing what can happen in 12 months but a trade or two could very well swing the pendulum even further in Celtics' direction. And with the currency of draft picks to boot, Ainge's plan to remain flexible could come to fruition.

Ha, like many, I got into some crazy alcohol habits at 21/22 (co-eds will do that to you). Met this crazy 6'6" red-head from Iowa one night, and we quested to take 10 shots of everclear over 4 hours. I succeeded, somehow, him, not so much. When I finally went to bed at 3:30am, a buddy text me about a party about 3/4 mile away. I threw on a pair of shorts and ran over. Did I mention it was 25* with more than a good dusting of snow out? Everclear, boys, only in moderation.

No worries about the Nets. Lin, Johnson and Crabbe collectively couldn't defend an opinion never mind an NBA team...

So Colin Cowherd just announced he knows where KDs going. KD confirmed but is announcing tomorrow. He told reporters to probably leak GSW or OKC to create a twist. Durant announces tomorrow, obviously to the Celtics, on July 4, to the great city of Boston that he will be a Celtic.

When Sherrod says it, it is false. Good try Danny. We appreciate the effort.

Where'd you see that? I just saw on his Twitter he knows but didnt mention the false leak part. If KD knows for sure then what is he sleeping on?
