Was busy tonight - started listening at half time. That's more like it! White continues to show his value. See now you will complain about the Celtics here and there and I don't like or agree with it all, but that's allright. You are at least balanced enough where it is easy to ignore what I don't agree with it. It's obvious it's your opinion and not trolling and I'm interested even more in your opinion because it is balanced. There are others where is not refreshing nor balanced on their hot (SSDD) takes that are over the top obnoxious and there in lies the difference, between those you don't allways agree with an "others". We all know who that is and that really does say it all, so why is there behaivor tolerated? ?

Anyone looked to see when the last time was that both the Bs and Cs were so dominant? That run in the 1970s has to be it, Bruins were elite or great for most of the decade and the Celtics had their best regular season ever in 72/73, were very strong in 74/75, and won the title in 73/74 and 75/76 in less dominant years. But to narrow it to a specific year, they sort of just missed each other. The Bruins peak dominance was 70/71 and 71/72, then dropped a bit in 72/73 when Celtics peaked. 73/74 might be the best option as the Bruins had their 6th best regular season by point pct and the Celtics won the title with their 25th best regular season by win pct (which is crazy that season barely breaks into the top 25, as they were second best in the NBA that year). Same thing in 2007-08 when the Celtics won the title (3rd best regular season) but it was the following season when the Bruins nearly won the presidents cup (9th best regular season). This year's Celtic season is just their 20th best season. 1988 Bruins lost in the Finals and the Celts lost in Eastern Finals.

You've had the same arguement with multiple people, chances are then you are the problem. For the record, I love his posts. This is a combination game thread and general thread. Get over the comments made while watching games. It’s part frustration and part superstition for many of us to react how we do; it’s not a troll. Sure but when you lead the league with the best record despite having your starting line-up for only 10 games and your rants are one way, that is not that.

wcp is one of my favorite posters and I absolutely love that whenever the Celtics are losing, I got some comfy "everything is sh*t" hot take waiting for me. Speaking of being sh*t: Grant has seen less minutes lately. Good for Joe to hold him back a little, Grant hasn't been very good lately and since we have some good depth, let him work shit out in practice. He looked so much better on offense early in the season with good, strong drives and his usual clean shooting. He's looking like a JAG. You must be related. How can, 'the same old the best team in the league sucks be a hot take?, You don't even make sense becuase you can't make sense of nonsense. It's a one trick pony trolling the rest of the board and for some reason he's allowed to do it, smh. It's old and antagonizing and multiple people have complained so it's not me.

Well, great. Historically it seems that you have had 4 negative comments to one positive for a team with the first or second best record in the NBA. So glad that we are not second tier! That’s inaccurate, but how many times are we going to have this same argument? If my posts bother you this much, ignore them and move on. It’s a pretty simple solution. You've had the same arguement with multiple people, chances are then you are the problem.

wowwwwwwww this team is gonna be so annoying to play against with the additions of Hathaway and Bertuzzi And the pasta deal *chefs kiss* I wanted a new front office after the inexplicable MM signing- I gotta say I’m quite happy they didn’t do that after the last week Talk about going for it New Line: Orlov (Garden) , Bertucci and Pasta, don't forget to tip the waitresses.

In other news, Pasta official. 8x11.25 Other than winning the Cup, this has been the second best set of news we could hear this year. Going for the season record and all that won't reaally mean to much without winning the Cup now if they win the Cup and set the season record then that makes the whole thing that much cooler and unforgetable. I hope Hall makes it back. My understanding is he has to be out a minimum of 10 games for the B's to use the loop hole and keep the roster with Bertuzzi in tact without making any other moves. TB did it one of the years they recently won a Cup.

Great answer its as if the response was your own actual response without influence and that you actually watched the sources i refered to. Clearly you did not. Can even one person respond who has a shread of knowledge that saw the documentaries etc? Listen simply because you can't handle the response does not make me a basement dwelling tin-foil hat wearing person, in fact I'd question you where that though of yours even comes from? You can't respond to that either because that thought is not your own either. Before you accuse me of belonging to one party or another I'd stop you there too. No political party should think for you. If you think strictly by party lines then maybe just maybe you are the problem because you think along party lines instead of for yourself. Hopefully fodder for thought. I'll tap out here if you'd like to continue do so off line as this is not the correct venue for this conversation, all apologies. A bank laundering money has no correlation to poor refereeing. Refereeing is very very hard. The game moves fast and you have to continuously look around. Guys make mistakes, huge ones, bad ones, remember they don’t have the benefit of replay. We’ve all been in situations in real every day life where we thought we saw something that wasn’t. It happens. Get annoyed then get over it. But don’t think there’s a conspiracy because of a bad call no matter how terrible it was. Watch the netflix special on gambling in sports including the one about Donaghy the referee that was fired by the NBA, a league which threatened to sue any publisher from him writing his story. If you watch that with out your mind being glued to the idea you don't want it to be true you'd sing a radically different song. That and regardless of what you think the moment they legalized gambling through apps for the major sports has forever changed any arguement of substance to believe sports is holier than though and without question. It's beyond niave. Before responding watch the special on it. Listen I truly would rather think different than I do. But I can't ignore something so obvious. I when I say the game is rigged sure their are times it may be a simple bad call, that does happen, but the way the rig em is it's not every game and they mess more with the betting line than the game itself, sometimes those are one and the same. The way Donaghy explained it is to brilliant for him to have made it up. Money makes the world turn.

They’re getting absolutely dominated and are up 2-1 despite being out shot 32-7 Linus is a god among men Orlov with both goals Yes this game has been a dud and they do deserve to lose BUT that call where they called a penalty against the B's where CLEARLY not one Bruin touched a Flame from a Referee far from the play is beyond belief. This is not high-school, college nor even the minors , so there is no excuse for referees to get that, that wrong. Two choices for a honest business here you are either put on probation or fired, yet that does not happen in profesional sports. So they must be doing what they are told to do, NO??? How can a logical mind rationalize any different? I'm convinced that there are games in proffesional sports that launder money. No? If the third biggest bank in the world launders money for the mexican cartel, AND it was proven it did as this is not a conspiracy theory but an actual reality so stop trying to deny reality here as the USDA begrudgingly fined the bank a miniscule fine only after pressure from the public. Netflix has a documentary on this. Everything I just stated in this paragraph is an actual fact that cannot be disputed by anyone in anyway shape or form. Love that they won in OT but it changes nothing that I stated above. Far to often people here rationalize that the referees calls have nothing to do with the outcome and that the team deserves to lose becuase of how they played. Right or wrong, that over simplifies the reality of the actual truth and ignores reality because there are far to many among us that simply love sports and do not want to believe it to be true, and the truth can simply be dammed to secure what they want to believe. I don't expect anyone to agree with this but I have to say my piece.

It must be nice to be Embid, drive and just throw away the ball because they will give him two free ones at the line, smh. That's awful NBA awful. He gets fouled on almost every one of those drives. NOT the one with just under 3 minutes left in the game, he went up lost the balls and flopped his hands in the air. Edit: Wanted to add it was a nice gut check win. They've had Philly's # all season, this was the first time Philly came to play.

Man - all the way back from 15 down to take the lead. This team is as good as they are motivated to be. They got over the hump - can they keep it? Can Tatum and Brown get hot in the 4th? Turned over to the Celtics about 5 minutes into the Bruins postgame and after about 2 minutes the Celtics have dominated.

Just tuned into this game a few minutes ago. Insane back and forth - Cs giving up a ton of 3s I forgot about the game and picked it up for the second half, insane is a good word, frustrating and wildy entertaining. Housers played very well too.

Gavrikov would basically be this eras Seidenberg addition Big, stable 2nd pair guy that can skate and be a little physical. I like it for the cup run. Would be interesting to see if he’d be here long term though. Seidenberg was like a 1B defensemen back in the 2011 Stanley Cup run, He was fantastic and underrated. if that's the case make it happen. Who would he knock out of the top 6?

Trade deadline thoughts, will Sweeney go big or will he nibble on the edges. This team barring any major injuries is loaded, a 3rd pair Dman with size should do it, any thoughts? I think if they make any moves that is the most likely. I know in some recent playoffs others teams checked the hell out of our defense and ultimaltely injured our defensemen including the finals against the Blues a few years ago including last year too.

Yet another win. Never go out to watch a game with others, you will miss most of the game. Do they make a trade at the deadline, do they even need to???

Jayson Tatum really needs to show up for this game tonight that's what MVP do. There is no one singular regular season game that an MVP has to show up to, it doesn't work that way. One Caveat would be if it was considered a dead heat between 2 players and it 's the last game of the season.

Pritchard is missing layups lately. Not playing great tonight.. Brogdon off tonight as well I was thinking the same thing, Brogdon looks like a G-leaguer out there. He's a bit like Jaylen in that when he's off, he's borderline unplayable and might even look like he doesn't know how to play basketball. Even when he's on and shotoing well his shooting motion has always looked ackward to me, more like a shot put.

Don't forget Danny built the foundation. I talked about 2 guys that Stevens traded for. And loving the team, no worries. it's akin, hopefully, to Theo putting the finishing touches on the foundation that DD built.

Unbelievable win missing FOUR starters (well after Jaylen left the game, but he sucked before he did so lol). Brogdon and White BALLED, I love these guys. Stevens has built quite a remarkable team. Don't forget Danny built the foundation.

I like Pritchard as a player, but they have all three of Smart, White and Brogdon signed long-term, and all three of those guys are really good and fit well with each other and Tatum/Brown, so Pritchard is trade bait inevitably, and might as well cash him in during a season when they have a legit chance to win the title. Two of those three are or have become injury prone so unless they can get a player they feel very confident can assure them a championship this season they might just be better off holding on to him.

I know this is a very silly sample size and really doesn't mean anything, but here it is anyway. In the history of baseball only 7 times has a player 22 or younger posted a BB% of 20% or better in 90 or more PA. Willie McGee(he was a pitcher) in 1891(145 PA), Ted Williams in 1941(606 PA), Willie McGee again in 1890(90 PA, Juan Soto in 2021 and 2020(654 and 196 PA, Bernie Carbo in 1970(467 PA) and Triston Casas last year in 95 PA. I think the key to his success lies in how quickly he makes his ability to get a hit not worth getting him to chase pitches. He has great command of the strike zone as you pointed out. But when pitchers realize he's not going to chase pitches outside the strike zone when do they start pounding the strike zone against him. He's got to cause enough damage with his bat and balls in play to offset that. I think he will get there and even think he can make an all-star game at his peak but when is that 2 or 3 years from now?? If he can develop more quickly with BA/SLG% then the ceiling for him grows. I'll stand by Ted Williams assertion, don't judge a batter until he's had 1,000 at bats or nearly two full years.

Celtics aren’t careful they’ll lose home homecourt to Milwaukee who's 1.5 behind us and playing good basketball lately. Actually the Sixers are 9-1 in their last ten with the same amount of Losses as Milwaukee and one less loss.
