@JasonGosselin 1. I totally thought for a minute Banks was going to be some awesome combo of Stevie Franchise + Starbury.
2. Once it became clear that was not the case, my brother was chirping him at a Cs game once and ended up nearly getting into a fight with his cousin sitting nearby. 🤣🤣🤣

Time for deep offseason discussions!

Quote this with a random non-star Celtics player that you loved.

With Al moving on to GSW, reposting an old tribute to a guy who was an excellent Celtics representative for many years and a champion.

My latest from @CelticsBlog

An Ode to Al Horford

He’s “overpaid” in relation to his counting stats. And yet, he is the secret sauce that makes this iteration of the Celtics work both on and off the court. What makes Big Al a coach’s and teammate’s dream? https://t.co/8rpoQgZ05V

Tatum nickname downloading after this video: THE TERMINATOR

1. Insane durability / implacability overcoming injury.
2. Will terminate or end your season in closeout games.
3. Fits with his more stoic / muted off-court persona.

I don't know what happened to the sound, but you can find the full video here on Tatum's YouTube channel:

@AdamTaylorNBA Celtics: Nic Claxton
Bucks: Anfernee Simons
Nets: Kyle Kuzma, Milwaukee 2026 1st Rd Pick (protected top 8 or so)

@CoreyB08 Everything up in air outside of White+Jaylen.

Personally, I’d lean:
Pritch
White
Hauser
Brown
Queta

Everyone experienced in system. Hauser + Brown aren’t true 4s of course, but they hold up fairly well down low on D. Pritch gets earned promotion. Simons as bench scorer.

@BiggLynch Go to any pickup game in America right now and try to call your own foul on this contact and watch us you immediately and rightfully get jumped by every person in the gym. But NBA refs will review this and uphold a foul call. SMDH.

@JasonGosselin I told my son we were going to lose that game when we were up 20 in the 3rd. Despite lead, we were playing completely unserious basketball and just letting the Knicks hang around even though they were playing even worse than we were at that point. Saw that collapse a mile away.

@GreggRosenberg1 @PrepHoopsAZ @DelonBowenHoops @jacob_seliga @AZHSFB Awesome. Congrats Jamar!

[Ben Torbert @CoachTorbert]

The dumbest thing about the “how would so-and-so play in a different NBA era debate” is people try to just plop 80s Bird into 2025….or 2025 Giannis into the 1970s. In this time-travel fantasy reality, it should not work that way. If Bird lived now, he would shoot 10+ 3s/gm, etc.

Tom Brady was a BAAAAAD man 😳

@CoreyB08 Petition to dub Scheierman as the Dot Rat effective immediately. Would be the best nickname in the NBA right away.

[Ben Torbert @CoachTorbert]

Flat out. This game was the best pitching performance I’ve ever seen in my life. A master artist at his peak.

[Ben Torbert @CoachTorbert]

Champions! They can never take that away from you. That’s forever stuff.
Tatum
Brown
Big Al
White
KP
Jrue
And the boys.

What do you know? There are consequences to being a whiny, lazy sieve on defense to the point that you get hunted on every possession.

[Ben Torbert @CoachTorbert]

@CoreyB08 DaRon Holmes would be perfect as a guy to prepare to eventually fill a lot of the skill set Horford currently brings to the team. Hope he lasts to 30 or could be gettable with a small move up.

Talk to em @Leon_Powe!

Was Van Gundy literally on the Heat payroll tonight? That was truly bizarre.
