@Crowes72 @all90saltrock Gilbo! I am a TBD guy myself.

[Brian Babineau @BrianBab21]

@ShakeMcBride I say 55 IQ, and its option 3, Mary Steenburgen’s “family contracting business” buoys his failing publishing company, and cheating on her means “drowning” in the East River.

@StoolGreenie Years of chemistry and no championships, no progress and a series of fails in crunch time.

[Brian Babineau @BrianBab21]

@JustinPhill0304 @StoolGreenie Agree. Good lord. Respect Dick Vitale. Get your Marcus Smart shit together already.

[Brian Babineau @BrianBab21]

@StoolGreenie Aw man, I love your Cs takes usually, but this kind of drama is getting to feel too much. The truth of this is nuanced. I am not anti or pro Smart. He had great and bad qualities. I am good with the trade.

@FelgerAndMazz Also, everyone, let's make a list of every NBA player you'd ever like if the Celtics acquired them so that Felger can't tell us we're "soft" for liking a trade. Buncha crap.

Kristaps Porzingis stats from his career-best season:

Points Allowed Per Pick-and-Roll
1. Anthony Davis (0.91)
2. Steven Adams (0.92)
3. Giannis Antetokounmpo (0.92)
4. Kristaps Porzingis (0.93)
5. Walker Kessler (0.93)

One of the best drop P&R defenders in the NBA. And on offense:

Top Post Scorers
1. Kristaps Porzingis (1.29)
2. Nikola Jokic (1.26)
3. Luka Doncic (1.15)
4. Joel Embiid (1.11)
5. Pascal Siakam (1.11)

Finally figured out how to score from the post. And from the perimeter attacking closeouts.

Points Per Closeout
1. Kawhi Leonard (1.32)
2. Brandon Ingram (1.26)
3. Luka Doncic (1.25)
4. Harrison Barnes (1.24)
5. Kristaps Porzingis (1.23)

These are all via @SecondSpectrum.

So KP shoots 40% on spot up 3s, kills defenses when he attacks closes out, can now post up with efficiency, and he’s a good defender. Health will always be a concern but he just had his best season of his career. This could be his prime.

@SkratchBastid Amazing. And the piano - just awesome.

[Brian Babineau @BrianBab21]

@JetBlue Just did.

[Brian Babineau @BrianBab21]

Hey @jetblue I just went to check into my cross country flight with my family and none of us can sit together and all available seats cost money? What happened to my seats? What the hell?

[Brian Babineau @BrianBab21]

Just did.

[Brian Babineau @BrianBab21]

@StoolGreenie Playing tight. For obvious reasons.

@MatthewBerryTMR I need Breece Hall’s ACL to magically stitch itself back together.

[Brian Babineau @BrianBab21]

@KincsoBiro Love this question. “Brand” is how people feel about your product and/or service. Companies don’t control it, they behave a certain way through products, tools, experiences, and people have feelings. People are not going to stop having feelings anytime soon.

[Brian Babineau @BrianBab21]

@davegerhardt For me, it's this: 1.) I get too many 2.) Too much presumptive copy, gently chiding copy ("I haven't heard from you") etc. 3.) I barely have time for things I need and people I know to engage strangers 4.) If I need something, I ask friends, peers, colleagues for a reco, period.

@NickChilds @keano81 My inner monologue is constant, and for me, it's tied to two things constantly - what I am reading and music I am playing. My relationship with music and books is intensely private and personal and the foundation of that monologue.

[Brian Babineau @BrianBab21]

@janthonylong Or those who send you a look saying "book time" so I have to do the work to schedule a call to be sold something I don't want from someone I don't know. Or the emails that passive-aggressively berate me for not responding the first time.

[Brian Babineau @BrianBab21]

@boonerang Amen. A pop rock wonderland.
