some turmoil in Boston with Brown and Tatum trying to be too dog… Celtics going to have to come up off one of them sooner or later… Wiggins for Brown or Tatum straight up? Money works too and Boston need wing defender

All jokes aside I think JB is more likely to stick around than Tatum if I had to pick one

He opened up a store in downtown Boston, is always doing stuff with Harvard & MIT, and is involved in community work out there

1st Round Playoff Exits

Middleton entering H/S protocols
Jrue continues to be out
Brook continues to be out
DiVincenzo continues to be out.

That's four players from their starting 5.

What type of deal did the Bucks do with the Devil to win last season.

Crazy thing is, we've seen that NBA commercial with Tatum on warriors.

How bizarre would that be to see:

There’s so many cats around the league struggling with their shot so far this year. Even Bron is struggling with his.
They're paying with a different ball.

Some of us are old enough to remember what happened last time they changed balls, and shooting percentages were out of control, and they ended up going back to the old ball.

For the casuals


The perception that he's a bad defensive player only comes from those who're not watching him play regularly enough, or fall into the trap of thinking a fat ass Euro is automatically going to be bad on defense. They see 1-2 plays where he's scored upon and use that to fuel their confirmation bias, in typical Casual fashion.

He has a 7-3 wingspan, a BBIQ that dwarfs 99.9999999% of big men in NBA history, and he's proven to have an abnormally high motor and endurance (playing a 65-minute game at his size doesn't make sense) - that's half the battle won on defense right there.

That explanation makes total sense as I figured something was up with the amount of players in the league struggling.

difference between this time and last time was that the protests about the new ball were immediate and complaints were heard before the preseason even started. top to bottom teams were raising hell

now, these dudes have an offnight or want to find an excuse and blame the ball after the fact :mjlol:
