Small news but happy Anthony Lamb is getting a shot. Kid is just a baller and went through a lot the last few years. Genuinely the kind of guy you want to root for.

150 players in Miami over All Star weekend? That’s not really a recipe for minimising team infections I would have thought.

Pritchard was one of those guys.

“Just watching the way he goes down and throws his arms up after driving through the pylons for a layup, he’s the man to beat this year,” said fellow competitor Trae Young, who started howling and grabbed Devin Booker after Harden drew four quick reach-in fouls while navigating through the “tunnel of arms” section of the course. “I thought Luka [Doncic] was the king when he drew 18 fouls in 60 seconds, including that insane flop on a 3-pointer, but nobody’s gonna beat Harden. He can make even incidental contact on a pull-up look like a flagrant foul, and his body control while pleading with the refs is unreal.” At press time Harden had blown all his second-round competitors out of the water and scored three perfect 10s after drawing a foul off the back of a brand-new Jeep Compass.

I actually quite like the three different greens on the Celtics uniform. Much better than the lame white city jerseys for this season.

This is better than the banner jerseys and the BOSCON jerseys. I still prefer the classics and don't get why we need to have so many designs.

Watching Myles Turner against the Lakers.

So underwhelming for a player his size.

No wonder the Pacers were desperate for Gordon Hayward.

The Pacers were horrible in crunch time against the Lakers.

if he was on our team, he would easily be the most frustrating and aggravating player on the roster.

nice looking stats, tho!

The Celtics need only one true color on their uniforms: Celtic (aka kelly) green.

White is of course fine.
Black has worked out reassuringly well.
Those gold embellishments on the St. Paddy uniforms looked surprisingly good.
Gray has been an utter abomination when tried, but that still leaves a decent success rate for non-true colors.

But that's it.
The yellow in lieu of the gold was abomination.
Messing with shades of green is wrong.
Any other true color would be wrong too.

It was a no contact injury. I thought it might be worse. Sixers very lucky.

Hornets just giving the Raptors the business. Nine threes with more than 3 mins left in 1Q. 10 assists on 11 field goals.

They're so fun to watch.

UPDATE: Hornets have 15 threes in the 1st half with over 6 mins left.

Kyrie with 14 pts so far against Detroit. Hasn't had more than 30 in a long time, except against us.

Boston needs to stop letting guys go crazy on them. There is just no excuse anymore. Not with defenders like Brown, Tatum and Smart out there. Sick of it now and Brad needs to be held accountable for it. Our defensive schemes just aren't aggressive enough against elite players. It's almost like he feels it's ok to let guys go off.
