The NBA should retire the #6 as a modest tribute to the pioneering and domineering impact the Bill Russell had on and off the court. He was a giant of a human being.

My sincerest condolences to his family, friends and fans around the world who are all saddened by this loss of an amazing man.

RIP #6

Congratulations to David Ortiz on his day of enshrinement in baseball's Hall of Fame.

An honor well deserved for the outsized slugger and personality who was magnificent when the stakes were highest.

The man was a lot of fun to watch.

Celts get Brogdon

Love the moves. (including Galinari)

Brad gets a real PG and bench scoring for spare parts and a 1 thats closer to a 2.

celts just need a 3rd big to replace Theis and they should be set

Play Kornet. You are paying him again. There must be a reason.

IMO he's a garbage time player and was a 4th string C/big on the Celts last year. With Al's age, TL's knees and Theis gone, I'd like a more skilled back-up just in case. Maybe revisit former fan favorite Kelly O and use the $17M tax exception related to last year's Fournier trade. They have to use it or lose it pretty soon.

I don't keep up as much on minor league football as I used to so I was a little surprised to see USC and UCLA the anchors of West Coast college football want to join the B1G.

So its going to be the B1G versus the SEC for grid-iron supremacy amongst our student-athletes?   

Will the Rose Bowl parade be awarded to the B1G/SEC champion, or just rotated between Birmingham and Columbus?

A  statement Burn this  God damned Country to the Ground! has been often uttered or published.

Probably not an effective rallying cry for the November Elections.

If there are any adults left in the democrat Party it might be time for them to come up with a better strategy.

I'm pretty sure "Burn this Country to the Ground" was the B-side to the Proud Boys/MAGA 2021 A-side single "Let's Steal this Country" better known, as Insurrection gets me Harder than a Blue pill.

Dems should be pissed the far-right nuts want to breed women like cattle and use their kids for target practice in schools.

As Ed Sullivan might say, a really, Really REALLY BIG TRADE. 

Having just reupped Karl Anthony Towns as a Max Player, now the Wolves are seemingly viewing him as a Stretch Four. 

They just shipped four unprotected first round picks in 2023, 2025, 2027, with a pick swap in 2026 and a top 5 protected pick in 2029 to the Jazz for RUDY GOBERT. 

Damn.

Trying to sort out SC rulings this week it seems 6 of them want red-state women to breed and have kids used for building inventory for target-practice.

As for Ayton?  A DEAL TO BE HAD?  I didn t realize Kiid smoked weed.  Always took him to be more a Bud Light Boone s Farm kind of guy, but clearly he is high as a motherfucker if he thinks that our  11 pick even gets us a sniff of the young center s jock strap.  Giving him the benefit of the doubt, let s presume he did not fully flesh out his dream scenario.




shhhhh.....

Afraid Boston is a goner. Sorry about that, Bank.

Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.

Congrats to the Warriors and their fans.

Celts had a great year, but played a poor series against the Warriors.

I don't feel like doing a post-mortem tonight, but the offense after game 3 fell apart, I think Tatum and Smart played hurt, and they got nothing (actually less than nothing from the bench.

Its hard to believe that they were up 5 with 3 minutes to play and in a great position to take a 3-1 series lead. But...

They're young and very talented, they'll be back

Damn

Bank

You have irony poor blood.

I was running with how you and Carlos characterized Pat Riley as EVIL.

Red Auerbach was a genius.

His trade for the rights to Bill Russell being Exhibit A.

Speaking of EVIL, Bill Russell was a Satanic Cohort.  I get a kick out of people talking about how Mister Bill played against an inferior level of competition. 

Uh huh. 

Bob Pettit.  Wilt Chamberlain. Dolph Schayes.  Johnny Kerr.  Nate Thrumond.  Wayne Embry.  Zelmo Beaty.  Willis Reed.  Wes Unseld.

No irony chip, Red was my evil genius, Riley was not.

Both were smart and opportunistic and ruthless.

I just didn't like Riley, a little too slick, too Hollywood. But seeing that this is a Knicks forum I'll end my criticism there.

As for Russell (and the players WBW) there is no denying the modern athlete is superior, bigger, faster, stronger, but WBW the actual day to day competition in a small league (8-14 teams) versus the dilution today, (30 teams) and where for example the 60s Celts could play a team up to 15+ times a year that had 2-4 HoFers, was astounding. Bird and Magic had a storied rivalry meeting about 40 times, Russ and Wilt faced each other almost 150 times. Put another way, arguably the NBA's most storied centers and among the greatest all-time players, went head to head for almost 2 full seasons.

That to me is a superior level of competition.

Different strokes...

Chip

Red wasn't evil, but just smarter than most everyone else, and he often reminded them of that blowing his victory smoke rings.

But feel free to hate him.

But if you thought about it he with his 60s teams basically created the model for success and the artistic beauty of the NBA.

Stifling defense, transition fast-break basketball, make the next pass and put pressure on your opponent to screw up.

Offense from defense played with pace.

And Riles is/was good but I sports hate for the roles he played with the Lakers, Knicks and Heat.

PS. I voted Cs in 7 just to show you my support. Oh, and also because I dislike the Heat much more intensely than your Cs.

I've posted for the past few years that I really like the way the Heat play, they are tough, disciplined and well-coached by a very good coach in Spo. He has them prepared.

Trouble is fucking Pat Riley is evil incarnate. I fucking hate him, but he's real good at what he does.
