Its over

Taking Boston -9 tonight

THE JINX IS REAL
Bank, if I were you I would ask, no, not ask but BEG Chamaco to PLEASE, PLEASE do not bet or root for the Celts ever again, down on my knees if necessary.

Carlos I don't pay much attention to kid's BS, he's just an idiot troll.

Weird game tonight. Everyone had th Heat dead and buried, too hurt to play and they came up huge.

Celts not so much.

Marcus had a brutal game, (Coach Ime should have benched him)  Al and TL pretty much non-factors, but basically it took an all-time great performance by Butler to win it.

G7 Sunday and I've got no idea what to expect.

You better get religion.

Chamaco may be an IT like you say, but he has some POWERS.

Just hope he does not make any BOLD PREDICTION or show any Celts support before the Sunday game.

I found my faith Brother Carlos. It has waivered from time to time, and have tested my soul, but I stayed the course.

How bout them Celts!

They're fucking road warriors but they should have won tonight by 25 points.

Celts suffocated Heat.

But as good as the Celts D is, I can only assume Butler is broken, Bam is broken, Lowry is obese and Herro isn't ready for prime time, to really account for that offensive output.

Love me some Al Horford.  Hope Robert Williams is healthy enough for the Finals.

Finals?

Celtics have Heat on the ropes

Al has been tremendous all year A great reunion.

TimeLord is the apex aerial predator of the parquet. If its in the air it is his prey to be hunted and devoured.

The Navis refer to him as "Last Shadow".

I hope he can stay healthy as his defensive skills in particular his shot blocking is NBA ultra special.

When I heard Smart and Timelord were good to go tonight, I felt pretty good about the Celt's chances tonight. Heat have a tough time 
matching-up with healthy Celts. Just not deep or talented enough. But fuck they are tough and disciplined and can win a knife fight.

HOWEVER, while he is due to pocket $45,780,966, $48,070,014, $51,915,615, $55,761,217, $59,606,817 through 2025-26, apparently Steph still feels compelled to pocket major endorsement fees by shilling for such decidely dubious scams as the Subway sandwiches franchise and CryptoCurrency...CRYPTO, for fuck's sake.  Seriously Steph?

Yeah, this is an embarrassment. These millionaire athletes touting crypto are going to hurt a lot of folks who don't have millions.

Combination of greed and ignorance. Not a good look.

Steph got in early on Bitcoin.  Dont be bitter.

And kid was early on Tatum.

Unfortunately for kid he shorted him early and often and kept on doubling down.

4 minutes of garbage time.

And 44 minutes of fury.

My man Marcus played his ass off last night.

Too bad Ainge traded the draft rights to Demond Bane.  Could've been the Celtics Tyler Herro. 

Still, Pritchard not too shabby. 

I always loved marcus Smart.

When there were rumors of Smart being on the block [much of it stories of negativity propagated by that dreary sack of potatoes, Kendrick Perkins], I channelled my inner Facil and lit a candle.  If ever there were a player built for Coach Thibs, it is Smart.  Perkins was also advancing the dumbass theory of how the Celtics needed to break up Jaylen and Jayson.  I mean, DUH...

CHILL

I think if one reflects upon the Celts roster, with its core almost entirely homegrown, )Tatum, Brown, Smart, TimeLord, Grant) and as posted previously 8 #1s (now 7), the team is young and under contract for the next few years, I can't get too upset with Ainge trading one of his 3 2020 1s (the 30th pick) for (IIRC) 2 #2s in out years. This team could be a 2-way monster for the next few years. I love the way they play ball. Both ends. Tenacious D, transition ball, and ball movement leading to good shots.

They are becoming the team i imagined they might become.

I think Ainge did a great job rebuilding from 2012, and with just a little luck would have played in 1 or 2 Finals, rather than losing to the Cavs and Heat in the ECF in '18 and '20.

As for Smart I'm just glad that Brad knew what he had, and that Ime did too. And ignored the hot takes from the pundits. And did not give in to idiots when the Celts struggled early. There was so much tslent on that team it just had to be channeled and focused.

As posted for years, Smart is an acquired taste, not for every team. He plays to the sound of a different drummer, and sometimes is incomprehensible, but he makes so many plays, its hard to deny his value. He (and Cowens, who was a very similiar player in many regards) is one of my all-time favorite Celts.

His intensity and desire is usually fun to watch. But at times is infuriating.

I think Ime helped him mature and to channel his craziness.

Carlos

kid will tell us he never bet his pic, but deep down inside he had the Celts.

How about them Celts.

Suffocating D, nice ball movement and hitting 3s.
Huge win Friday on the road, grreat win today.

I felt like a proud uncle watching my nephews recite their Haftorah portion.

Today they became men.

Another rock fight coming up.

My two value picks going head to head

And i gave it to kid pre-season.

Go Celts!

Clap clap clap clap clap

Way to show up, Jason Tatum

Hey Bank, Chamaco always, ALWAYS, told you that Jayson Tatum was a great player, and also that Boston did a great trade with Philly when you guys got him.

But you would not believe him, and kept saying they should have stuck to the No. 1 pick and just get Markelle Fultz.

Now you know Chamaco was right and you and everybody else were wrong, as usual.

Carlos my old friend, when you're right you're right. And I should have tipped my tam o shanter to kid's keen eye for talent and reasoned takes on roundball. He saw the diamond in the rough, the brilliance hidden, that almost no one else saw in Tatum.

Kid is special.

Monster game.

This series is old school and reminds me of the classic '81 rockfight with Philly, arguably the greatest 7-gamer non-final in NBA history.

Watched  the game.

I especially loved the way Tatum hid during the last sequence,Celts down 3.

Smart stunk offensively too.  Tough to get all your guys with their A games on the road.  Got Brown, got Al -which got them close.

and Kid is Tatum's biggest and earliest fan here in Elba.

HEH

Tatum was off the line (TL and Grant were the Celts primary rebounders on the foul shot). so was outside the arc. (there are rules you moron, not surprised you are ignorant of them)  Tatum came in strong side on the miss, Al crashed the weak-side and was just a little late on his 2nd put back.

Tatum was a no-show and had a miserable game.

He has an average game the Cs win that game by 10, or maybe they still lose

Unfortunately the refs showed and also had a miserable game.

Refs will be back for G4, I hope Tatum is.

kid needs gas money.

I'll toss in a Buck.

76ers need a center as Embiid out indefinitely against Heat.

Brutal luck for 76ers.

Dude was having a year and a half.

I dont think making top 8 is any great shakes

Yes.  I have Bucks as their Waterloo

No one said it was a great shake and we're now approaching a 1-4 seed East tourney where anyone can win.

Still waiting for why you're confused about the bandwagon experts recently jumping on the C's bandwagon.

And I don't need your picks, don't bet the NBA.

Although I did give you the best value plays in the East pre-season, picking Miami and the Celts. I wish I played those. at 35 and 40 to 1 they would have cashed very nicely.

You had the Nets and Lakers right?
