Official Celtics 2022 Off-Season Thread

Spoiler:

Once again, if JB is not vaxxed & cannot play in Canada if we draw the Craps, he immediately will become a despicable & selfish ignoramus in my eyes INDEFINITELY. As I made clear via 100+ originally sourced citations during the almost 2 year now defunct Covid thread, it is NOT a mother **** ‘personal choice’ issue. And those saying that are clueless. Very unwisely not getting treated for a very serious NON-CONTAGIOUS illness is INDEED a ‘personal choice’ issue. I have witnessed it myself with a few of my patients over decades of experience. Covid is not in that category. Unforgivably harming the team & putting himself personally at risk for the evolving very serious consequences of ‘long Covid’ even after a mild case are the least of the reasons. He becomes a Typhoid Mary who can potentially spread the disease to family, friends & strangers (some of whom are more likely to become very seriously ill due to age & underlying medical co-morbidlies), AND the more spread, the more replication, the more mutations, the more likely another bad ass variant will emerge. The incredibly & miraculously SAFE vaccines have unquestionably saved a million lives in America alone.
THE END. PERIOD.

This post is NOT Necessary.
I've changed it to a Spoiler.

Let's be done with the overall subject.
It only causes problems, as it will generate responses.

I 100% disagree with people who choose not to vaccinate. However, I can understand an Uber elite athletic male aged 15-30 thinking about whether to refuse it due to slight personal risk of myocarditis from vaccine ( which is ultra rare and even less than the risk of myocarditis from Covid infection itself ) and their personal risk of severe illness Covid being so low. Self centered? Yes. Foolish? Not entirely. For most of us, protecting our elderly family, friends and community is an overriding concern. For a generational athlete making tens of millions…..maybe being selfish makes a little more sense to their families.

Understood. We definitely can discuss Celtics players in a Canadien game.
But, we don't need to rehash a Total COVID Thread, though.

Help the Mods out here, people.

Thank you for enlightening us all with your eloquent truth. Without such supreme beings to decide what is best for us all what ever would us uneducated folks do?

Beginning on Mon 4/11, it looks like temps consistently 60-75 will have finally arrived.
Cannot wait!

Grant certainly does not lack personality.

We should somehow email him or contact him on Twitter or whatever - and tell him how fanatic & proud our group is. LOL.
Zoya - can you do this?

Can you imagine if he was 2-3 inches taller?

Tom Brady engages in serious medical quackery.

It's easy to spin that as being a lot worse than personally not wanting to be vaccinated.

I don't think we need to go after ordinary vaccine skeptics.

Particularly egregious science-deniers, however, such as flat-Earthers, should get all the scorn we can be bothered to heap on them. Ditto people who lie about their vaccination status.

That's the most number of 20-point wins by a Celtics team since 2007-08 who did it 22 times.

Derrick White trade looking better now that draft pick is falling to 25 or later, Langford injured and White shooting 44% from 3 in last 5 games. It could look even better if we can get JRich back for TPE next year. Strangely that thread which was a good one was locked.

Even the Theis thread is locked. Sigh.

Nice interview with Smarty on NBA Today. I did not realize Caesar's Sportsbook has him as the favorite for DPOY.

Watch on YouTube

If Brown and Al are unvaccinated shouldnt that stop them from playing in New York ? Didnt they play those games ?

Yes they played in NY but unfortunately no, it doesn't clear anything up. The law in NY was always weird. Unvaxxed home players were not allowed to play but there was no such rule for visiting players.

Seriously that’s a stupid law if that was the case. My bad didnt realise

Anyway we’re not playing the Raps so all good.

Get your vaccines people ffs

[TommyPointGawd]

Didn't Brown say he was vaccinated after he had covid at the beginning of the year? I swear he did. But since people are still questioning maybe that isn't the case.

A municipal law regulating working conditions within the city naturally doesn't apply to people who work outside that municipality.
