@Marc_Bertrand @scottzolak The place he could end up that makes more sense than Milwaukee is the Clippers, even if it’s through a trade with the Bucks to get Giannis here. Personally, I hate the trade. Change your damn play style. You have the players.

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@TonyMassarotti @bigjimmurray you don’t need supreme talent. It doesn’t matter that Tatum is that good. A slightly lesser player that place within a team, but is still one of the best people on the floor will be just as productive if not more.

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@TonyMassarotti @bigjimmurray sure, winning teams, always have at least one top-tier player, but they always have a deep team behind them with players hitting big shots go right down the line all the way back to LeBron, other teammates were hitting HIGE shots

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@TonyMassarotti @bigjimmurray didn’t Steven Adams actually announce his retirement? I thought I saw that on Instagram. I guess a lot of bad conversations start with that phrase though. Lol

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@TonyMassarotti @bigjimmurray it’s all bs. The level of clutch by Brunson & how the team followed suit..the Celtics don’t have anything remotely close to that. Ultimate talent doesn’t matter. Having just enough talent, along either work eithic & team play is what matters

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@scottzolak @Marc_Bertrand I don’t love this. Unless brown is unworkable mentally, thinking he is why we are losing is asinine. We lose because of play style. End of story. Giannis is a single dimensional player. He’s also older. I believe this makes us worse.

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@TonyMassarotti @bigjimmurray There is not much validity or honest journalism on ESPN anymore. They are a tool for the various leagues & serve as a vehicle for propaganda/narrative formation & perpetuation..& that’s when they’re not just clickbait. Indy media is the way

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@TonyMassarotti @bigjimmurray It didn’t last that long, but does the Miami Heat squad with Bron,Bosh, and defector Ray Allen belong on a tier?

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@bigjimmurray @TonyMassarotti Only a Lebron fan would want Lebron here. LA has been a cluster F playing-wise & chemistry-wise. Look at comments on videos, THIER fans don’t even want him.

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@toucherandhardy @KenGriffeyRules it’s the place style, coaching, and front court. Everybody knows it. Nobody wants to say it.

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@bigjimmurray @TonyMassarotti Jokić was the first player in league history to lead the league in assists & rebounding at the same time. He also I believe averaged a triple double for the second season in a row. It’s team design, & coaching that keeps these players from peeing r

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@bigjimmurray @TonyMassarotti guys, in terms of Denver, that team is Wiech. It’s been Ben fool’s gold all along. Everybody plays together really well and they overachieve. OKC, and the Spurs have much better teams than Denver. Much.
The Celtics, they killed themselves

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@bigjimmurray @TonyMassarotti Jokić was unbelievable this year for most of the year. He said records, I believe. His team is whack and he ran out of gas that being said. Wemby has surprised me. SfA stopped dominating because the refs stopped helping him as much

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

Lots of advertisements for heat pumps. Talk to people in the Midwest. They are not an upgrade. Don’t fall for that crap. Listen to people that now own them.

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@Marc_Bertrand @scottzolak the Celtics had the roster they needed, possibly, with the exception of a scoring big man, but they had a roster to go deep. This is a cop out by Stevens. Redesign your offense. You’ve failed enough with it.

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@Marc_Bertrand @scottzolak too many picks. That is drastically overvaluing Giannis and undervaluing brown.

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@Marc_Bertrand @scottzolak I don’t like this trade at all. He’s a single dimensional player at this point. The only argument you could make is a brown talk his way out of town. Basketball wise, focusing on the roster rather than play style is a major fail by Stevens.

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@TonyMassarotti @bigjimmurray championship year, who won finals mvp & showed up? Brown. What happened when Tatum was the best player? 2 losses. Brown gets too much bashing proportionately . It’s really about Mazzulla & play style.

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@TonyMassarotti @bigjimmurray Definitely not the best way to go about it but you always rip him for being sensitive & the celtics just proved my point by talking about a Brown trade. It’s ALWAYS been him they talk about. Never Tatum. He was never treated as an equal.

[James Calandrella @JimCalandrella]

@TonyMassarotti @bigjimmurray Brad is all about “position-less” basketball. Brown/Tatum need to move. It’s SO SIMPLE. If they worked as hard for layups with cuts & such as they do for 3’s they’d get better shots.
