You're talking about a Celtics team that lost to several teams this year when those teams lost leading scorers before the game. If anything, they seem to play worse when the opposing team loses star players.

I don't get why Smith's 3 year $75 Million contract extension should upset Brown, who signed a 4 year $100 Million contract extension in 2022 with 2024 being one of his mega payout years (the other being the imaginary one that he'll never see at the end). The AAV numbers are pretty close.

I hope they've tested the water cooler in the Pittsburgh WR room for lead.

Hauser hasn't been shooting well since he almost blew out his ankle. You have to wonder if it's not still bothering him.

For some reason, I could've sworn it was Sunday night. Did they change it to Monday?

Last nights game is what I'm talking about. The second stringers wanted this win and played their asses off. I expect to see more of the same Sunday. The biggest problem with that is that Jordan, Queta & Davison will be in Portland, ME Sunday for the G League championship game - unless the...

Maybe. But do you really need film on leaving Hauser isolated one-on-one in the high post with Giannis?? Do we need to know that isn't going to work? I'm pretty sure they did it twice in the Bucks game.

The starters don't appear to be interested in playing defense. Pritchard has one gear - overdrive - and he always plays tough D. Just sit the starters if they want a break. Treating these games like a shootaround can't be good for the team with the playoffs right around the corner, especially...

Charles Barkley rips Celtics for ‘going through the motions’ vs. Knicks Love this quote: "Shaq asked me earlier if Tatum and Brown should play. If they’re going to play like that, they shouldn’t play". I agree 100%.

Last night's game against the Bucks was boring as heck and pretty infuriating from a refereeing standpoint. I stand by earlier comment - they should have rested more (all?) of the starters. As it was, they seemed to play "All Star Game defense" so why even bother having their best players on the...

I think the Celtics should rest all of the starters tonight. It's a meaningless game for the Celtics but it can easily give the Bucks momentum going into the playoffs if they beat them with all of their starters.

I think tonight's game is going to be the best barometer of what we can expect in the playoffs. Please - no iso-ball in the end!

There is something going on with those Boston Globe writers that's just not right. After all, in his autobio "Scribe", Bob Ryan wrote (page 238), "Belichick was filming Green Bay defensive signals in 2006, which is a breach of the rules", which is complete BS as it was never against the rules to...

The refereeing in today's game was pretty putrid, especially in the first half. The Celtics players were complaining like crazy for a good reason. The refs weren't calling anything on the Pelicans. Their failure to overturn that second challenge with 1:45 to go was embarrassing. You hope the...

I feel like I'm watching that scene in "The Longest Yard" where the medical staff is looking at the guy's knee when the player's face is bashed in.... Yeah, Mac Jones had a terrible year 2 with Patricia & Judge. Because of that, Belichick went out and hired Bill O'Brien, who operated a fairly...

Considering that the flying Elvis has been the Patriots logo longer (1993-Present) than Pat Patriot (1961-89) and that Pat represents 28 years of futility, with only 16 of those seasons ending with a record above .500 & a single Super Bowl loss, while the flying Elvis represents 31 years of...

The New England Patriots should not wear red & white uniforms. The first Patriots wore blue and white. The British wore red & white.

WTF... This is hilarious.

I'm with you there... but it should be noted that Branch never played another snap, so maybe he wasn't ready physically for it? Editing to add that Branch hadn't played since Week 14 (Dec. 11) of that regular season & missed both playoff games so it's unlikely he would've been up to game speed...

I remember reading this (In defense of Bill Belichick benching Malcolm Butler in Super Bowl 52) after I went back and re-watched some of that Super Bowl and I think the writer gets a lot right, especially with regards to the stupidity of going with a 3-4 front. And I also agreed that Butler, at...
