I hope he enjoyed it.

I think a healthy Embiid (I suppose that's a problematic idea) is the best player in the NBA.  It's unfortunate he had to play with James Harden.

My hopes if we stay at 11 are Eason, Sochan, and Daniels in that order.

If we pay Mitch, draft, and do nothing else we could see this kind of rotation next year

Mitch Jericho
Randle Toppin Gibson
Reddish rook Fournier
RJ Grimes Burks
IQ Rose McBride

That is the kind of defensive wall Thibs likes to impose. We can keep our situational vets and a developmental player or two.

Good question. 

Tell you one thing.  Miami is going to be feisty. 

Not sure is Butler is hurting, and they surely miss Herro. 

Mmmmmm...Celtics.

Berman in the POST with a teaser about Leon Rose's CAA connection to 6'4" Combo Guard Jaden Ivey. 

Hey, what's not to like. 

If I'm Trader Facil, I'm offering Julius Randle and our #11 [and/or one of our 2023 #1 picks] for the Kings #4 pick. 

Or maybe a sign and trade of Mitchell, who I think would probably be a better fit with Sabonis. 

Sabonis-Robinson/Randle-Barnes-Mitchell-Fox
Holmes-Lyles-Lamb

This is a wet dream and something of a stretch. 

Another team or two involved? 

Wish it was tenable, but I'm kind of doubting it. 

Draft on Thursday, June 23.  A month away. 

Be interesting to see if the Brain Trust has a clue, let alone a plan.

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.

About midway through Q1 I said "whichever team starts to hit its shots wins."

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.

Yes

I was taking note of Lowry's corpulent.

Kind of shocking.

And again, something is amiss with Butler, and Tucker was a non factor.

Once Jaylen found his shot, it was over.

Heat had a very Knicks third quarter..

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.

All gravy for Boston now.  Taking Miami to a Game Seven is a win.
