Point well taken.
So don't get so excited about the Sox then at this point.
Dodgers in 4 in the 2021 WS, especially against Verdugo and company!

Lets Reminiscence. The scab Pud? NATHAN EOVALDI 23 innings has gave up 0 HR'S Cora is back that's all that matters.. He'll win if he has to cheat.. Stevens isn't bright enough to cheat.. Cora can break out the trash cans again if he has to.
Still.... Da Bums in 4.

You can tell that Curry is just so tired of carrying the whole team on his back...another year wasted of his life (except for making huge money) due to Clay Thompson's injury...just like Clay wasted last year due to Steph's injury...
Two years gone where the Warriors could have challenged the Lakers and shown they are fine without Durant...
They won one before Durant glommed on like the feeble wanker he is...despite possibly being the most talented in the league...just not as determined as the bully ball LeQueen...
Regarding Durant: I always liked Durant and felt he was close to coming to Boston as he was courted by us and Tom Brady, especially , & he would have liked more of a challenge than the slam dunk ring with GS. I felt like KG had never won a title but he still would chose Boston as a challenge to do it and I wished Durant had too. But, I guess, a bit frustrated, and it’s an enigma to me that OKC once had Harden, Durant & Westbrook & then only Durant & Westbrook(still formidable) and still couldn’t win. The Warriors were not their downfall at that time…it was the Spurs…and their twin towers, Duncan & Robinson !!! GS has won the last few years without a dominating big man with the best 3 pt shooters in the game but I like a shot blocker and good rebounder…more rebounds can make up for poor shooting nights. Personally, I think that the Bucks with Giannis will beat Philly(if they beat Toronto) but Embiid is still a good big man. Thus, Durant going with GS and getting a ring was more important than a true challenge. And, we would have won the title with Durant and our young talent without Irving and maybe have kept Thomas. I wish too we had gone after Kawhi Leonard instead of Gordon Hayward(even if he didn’t get hurt). We really haven’t gone after a star to make us championship calibre like the hated Lakers went and go LeBron and then Davis! You have a memory like an elephant...crap, I am trying to remember when our net game is... |

Disappointed with last night's loss despite having guys out. We were playing a mediocre Bulls team with literally one player, Vucevic, and we couldn't get it done. Two all stars versus one, I'll bet on my two all stars. Our defense was absolutely atrocious (and too many 2nd chance points). The Bulls got whatever they wanted. And offensively, we just didn't get it done (and too many unforced turnovers). With RWill, KW and MS out (Fournier really hasn't fully been in yet), everybody had to step up. I love how Tatum compensated for the assists we'd normally get from KW and MS. Great job. He also helped out with 13 rebounds compensating for RWill's absence (although it would have been nice to get a couple offensive rebounds - all 13 of his rebounds were defensive rebounds). It was great getting those two unexpected contributions from JT. The problem is...the one area we expect from him, he failed miserably. When JT arrives at the arena, I tend to pencil him in for a minimum 22 points, easy. IMO, he just cannot have a bad shooting game against this Bulls team. To me, it seemed like a hollow, uneventful first triple-double of his career (that surprised me too). And honestly, like JT about a month ago, JB has too many Carmello-type games. All JB does is score - he doesn't rebound, he doesn't assist, he doesn't draw fouls (no free throws last night) but he went 10-15 overall and 3-4 from the 3-point line. I will always say, as JT and JB go, so go the Celtics. We have FOURTEEN games left and it's "go time". We have an opportunity to get the 4th spot nailed down with consistently good play but we can also end up with the dreaded 7th seed. It's games like last night that we cannot have happen or we'll find ourselves in the 7th or 8th seed playing in a "play-in" game and who knows which Celtics team shows up for something like that. It's going to be tough with PHX and BKN on a back to back. We've played all season with guys out of the lineup and done a decent job. After 6 straight, good wins, last night was a major letdown. That was the one we shoulda had more easily than any of the previous six. Yeah, whatever dude...stop talking sense... |

Brown had 13 points in the first 6 minutes of the game, and then checked out! Tatum 3 for 17 is the main reason we lost! Parker had another pretty good game, he should start getting all of Grant and Semi's minutes! Pritchard should have shot more and handled the ball more! TT did okay, we just need RWill's usual numbers also! Bad loss is all I can say! 3 for 17 is inexcusable...IT probably never had a game that bad...and I am not kidding...absolutely pathetic... |

See my post under the 'We barely knew you thread" about Cora...I should have started a new thread called 'Welcome back Cora'...
Cora is going small ball and tearing up the league in ERA ...not going for the fences...

You heard it here first.... his small ball secret to success??
Cora has learned to use space lazers to disorient opposing batters.
No more banging on trashcans for our tech savvy Alex.

It appears to me that when a star gets injured, the other star or stars develop an " injury " to compete for attention, sympathy or just more time off. See Brooklyn for example. These guys are not hockey or football player. They are soft millionaire babies enabled by a soft coach with no leadership ability or presence. What a waste of time and talent. Tatum and probably Brown will both be gone to L A or New York as soon as the opportunity arises.

Nice that NY got ATL last night, in OT no less. Lets hope ATL is tired tomorrow for their Mia game. If we can come through this weekend within 1 loss of ATL, I believe we can still get #4.
Right now we're tied in losses, they have 1 more win

Right now we're tied in losses, they have 1 more win Your a logical man.. Lets assume we get the four spot.. Lets also assume we win that machup. Very unlikely we win a second round series thats obvious.. What's the point? We lose 3 or 4 positions in the draft.. Most'' ALL'' here agree this is not our year. Why not play Lanford Nesmith PP and Tacko and build a team for next year? |

The Candy Ass motherf**ker is Walker who has played in 17 less games.. Dee got 13 hours sleep last night finally thanks to my Pharmacist in a unnamed shit hole of a country as Trump put it. |

I say tanking in this circumstance is more bad karma. |

Your shot at seeing a championship is a lot better than mine. Money interests me little.. Bad Karma is the work of el diablo.. We parted ways back some time ago due to his greedy nature.. Playing for ''one year'' is not so bright.. In Sports or life. You i'm sure play for the future and not just the moment.. Your argument holds absolutely no merit. And... The players aren't winning jack shit this year.unless someone nukes Bkn and Phila.. Where is my realist friend Solly? Cabby left .. . |

Consider this.
If Ainge had any real realistic hopes of winning the East this year.
He wouldn't have traded Theis for two scabs one who is already gone. Parker was just an after thought too..
He's most likely showcasing Parker to add to a trade in the offseason.
