Maybe now, everyone can stop insulting Benedict Alford.

Little Al outplayed Embiid, did a lot more than Simmons.


2 for 8 from the field, 0 for 2 on 3s, team-leading -14.


"Team-Leading", as in he leads his team.

Heat’s duncan robinson is heating up. 6/7 from 3 in the 1st half. They also have guys like Herro that can shoot lights out. Wish we have guys like that off the bench. Instead we have Carsen, a small dude who only knows how to chuck, and does nothing else. Langford, who is just not nba ready right now.

These LA teams keep adding trash players. Imagine if your roster were so thin or poorly constructed that you would consider adding Dion Waiters. We should all thank Ainge for not putting the Celtics in that spot. How many potentially net-negative players do the Lakes have now? Bradley, Rondo, Kuzma, Waiters, Morris, Dudley, Cook. Damn that's a lot. I only have Green, Ojeleye, Edwards, Langford for the Celtics. So basically zero playoff minutes going to net-negative players, whereas the Lakers will be giving minutes to at least 4-5 of these listed guys lmao

LeBron always makes it work with these super flawed players, but mans is like 36 now, he can only do it so many times.

Obviously I want us to win it this year but if we don’t, this is the team I’m rooting for.

Whenever you feel a little disappointed about our Celtics, always find comfort in the fact that "at least we're not the Knicks." Worth the watch just for the "I Dreamed a Dream" cover alone. Move over, Anne Hathaway.

At this point, I feel like Congress should try some kind of eminent domain type of thing and take the Knicks away from James Dolan. NY should be on par with LA when it comes to being a marquee team for the league and it's players, but under Dolan they're a laughing stock going on two decades now. I mean, has the guy done anything in life besides inherit his dad's money and play in a **** blues/rock band? Those of us old enough to remember Paul "Thanks Dad" Gaston know what it's like to have a taste of that **** -- but at least our dip **** inheritor was good enough to sell the team to competent people who actually want to win.

Why would we want the Knicks to be good? Dolan's the golden goose that keeps a laying. Keep him where he is for life!

Spike Lee is welcome to make an offer to buy the team. I'm sure he could put together a group of investors if he wanted to.

Edwards: -5.0 / -1.6 / -5.9


Wanamaker is the only one on that list who will get any real playoff minutes, Ojeleye and Grant may see a spot few minutes here and there. That's pretty much what BG said, that almost no playoff minutes will be given to net negative players. The 5-10 playoff minutes a game Wanamaker is pretty close to insignificant.

This is assuming the team is healthy of course, which seems like a crapshoot the way things have been.

Knicks are clowns. Total incompetence for them to pick these public fights with Spike and Oakley.
