he Celtics lost the season series against the defending champions Denver Nuggets on Thursday night in a hard fought 115-109 loss. The Celtics have a long road to navigate to even get to the NBA Finals for a possible rematch against the Nuggets or a host of other top tier Western Conference contenders in June. However, Charles Barkley made clear just how sky high his expectations are for the franchise on TNT’s Inside the NBA on Thursday night. “If they don’t win a championship this year, it would be a total gag job because they have everything,” Barkley said. – via Booth Newspapers Top Rumors, Charles Barkley, Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets “You only play five players,” Barkley said. “They got Tatum, Brown, Jrue Holiday. Your rotation is going to shrink during the playoffs so the bench isn’t as important as you think it is. You got Brown and Tatum two of the best ten players in the league, probably. You got a great leader in Jrue Holiday. You have the best 6th man.” – via Booth Newspapers Charles Barkley, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, Boston Celtics ah Heds .

We're getting almost three each week but they are rapidly banned by your moderators for posting spam.
The increased viewership (500 some nights) has led to more spammers than anything else. It's odd that so many come here for your thoughts and the reports posted here but few want to contribute to any discussion. I'm left scratching my thinning hairline!

JB was t'd up early, does anyone know what he did? All I saw him do was clap! JB mouthed the N-word, the C-word, the M-F word and the B-word. He also mentioned something in passing about the ref's "mama", yet another B-word and "donkey dongs".
I didn't catch all of it.

Sixers kicking tires on Kai Jones ... Kai Jones To Work Out For Sixersby Luke AdamsFree agent big man Kai Jones is scheduled to meet with and work out for the Sixers in the coming days, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, who says Philadelphia has shown some interest in the former Hornet (Twitter video link). The No. 19 overall pick in the 2021 draft, Jones averaged just 2.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 9.1 minutes per game across 67 total appearances in his first two professional seasons. He had a much bigger role at the G League level, averaging 17.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.1 blocks in 38 regular season games with the Greensboro Swarm — Charlotte’s affiliate — from 2021-23. Jones made a series of unusual social media posts prior to the 2023/24 season, calling out some of his teammates in a handful of tweets and videos. A report ahead of training camp indicated that the big man wouldn’t be reporting to the Hornets for personal reasons. He subsequently requested a trade and then was waived by the club shortly thereafter. The 23-year-old has been a free agent since then.

It didn't take long for beloved ex-Boston Celtics star Isaiah Thomas to make an impact in his return to the G League on Thursday night.
The 35-year-old got off to a hot start, scoring 18 points on 4-of-7 shooting from the field in just 19 first-half minutes. While his field goal percentage dropped throughout the second half, finishing 7-of-23 from the field and 5-of-17 from 3-point range, Thomas finished the night with a game-high 32 points, four assists, a steal, and a rebound in the Salt Lake City Stars' 127-116 win over the Texas Legends.

Per NBC Sports Boston statistician and researcher Dick Lipe, the Celtics are just 1-6 since January 1 against teams with a .600 winning percentage or better. Ipso facto, Boston have [has] work to do before the playoffs to ensure this historic season doesn't end in what would be the most profound heartbreak for Celtics fans. Joe Mazzulla has to figure out how to get his team to take care of the ball better and not waste possessions late in games killing clock. Otherwise, this team will be one of the biggest "what-if's" in NBA history.

What is it with our management? WE NEED PLAYERS who want and can contribute by playing minutes. We could use an athletic Delon Wright, a "3 and D" veteran down the stretch to maybe give Tatum and Brown a break and be in the playoff rotation.
We got Tillman and he can't get consistent minutes. I thought he was supposed to come in and help down the stretch as we prepare for the playoffs. He has 6 games of playoff experience as a starter and, even that doesn't factor into getting minutes. Our bench is severely challenged, and we could use some veteran players who can contribute.
It's as if we consciously are NOT signing players who can help by using the excuse "they won't get many minutes". Let's just continue to play the starting 5 and sprinkle in Horford, Kornet, PP and Hauser no matter how inconsistent they are. And honestly, looking at their performances lately against the better, playoff-caliber teams, I have serious concerns about what they can bring in the playoffs.

Denver hit 4 3's last night! Tatum had 8 points with 4:19 left in the 1st quarter. He ended up with only 7 more for the entire game, and 2 of those came on technical foul shots! Brown missed free throws, White had an off night, our bench wasn't great, but all that doesn't even matter if Tatum had, had even just a slightly off night! Instead he completely disappeared! One more thing, Jokic is on the same genius level that Bird and Magic were on! He's not in the play, he's 3 steps ahead of the play! Yep...Tatum was getting hammered on national sport talk radio today...clown should put the MVP thing to rest by saying that he would vote for Jokic...and then just try to be a part of our team... And for gawd's sake, can we please just once do something other than a Tatum ISO to end the game? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I’m not trying to make it about myself, he said. “We talk about respecting each other’s space and understanding the flow of the game. It’s not upon me to hijack the game and make it about me and it’s a national TV game. Other guys had it going. So if I have to be in the corner, if I have to be a facilitator at times, so be it.” Excuse Excuse Excuse View AttachmentIm fine with this. But if you are deferring, that means that you are being more selective with your shots. Which means the overall quality should go up, and thus so should the efficiency. If you take 30 shots one game, and 10 games the next - I would assume the average quality of the shot should be better when you only took 10, and thus your fg% should rise. Lol, that is funny...do you think Tatum thinks that much?...and I understand that is a bit mean, but hopefully Tatum does not read here...

He's the best player every time he steps on the court! Tatum has a lot of maturing to do. Yeah, I stated that earlier today...

This is exactly what I was thinking. We've got this world champion pg who now hangs in the corner. White isn't that nifty just solid and more of a combo. Buts let's like let holiday set up a play Because Tatum is the best player on the planet!...He even said so himself!... bump... Errr, Cole snuck in a post to mess with the continuity...anyhow, yeah, Tatum is full of himself, like as in way way way too much...like him, but he needs to get a grip...I don't give an eff if our young deer in the headlights coach says he is supposed to take the last shot, Tatum should man up and say DWhite is bringing it up and we will see how it goes...so tired of watching this bullshit... It is worse than Groundhog day...WTF?!...It is a nightmare...who the heck is steering this ship?... We will be lucky to reach the Finals, and you all dang well know how that will go...another clown show...

Alright that one's over, on to Phoenix! Don't worry about Durant, Booker, or Beal, Grayson Allen has been on fire lately. White and Tatum need to show up! We wouldn't lose 3 in a row, would we??

My granddaughter has started her last two years for her PHD degree in Psychology this year. We discuss Freud and Karl Yung every Sunday. I know a tiny bit about Personality Issues. From an academic point of view here's probably two of Tatum problem. “Attachment disorder really comes down to which parent’s love was missing or inconsistent in your life and how that unfulfilled craving for love and connection has impacted your behavior in adult relationships to form emotional bonds says Jung. Used only by Freud and focused primarily on the negative impact that unresolved fear, defiance, and distrust toward one’s father could have “father complex” is an aspect of Freud’s Oedipus complex. Over the years, “father complex” has been used on and off to describe the impact that a physically or emotionally abusive father can have on the lives and relationships of both men and women. Just two theories that have been expanded upon by recent Psychologists . Now he could score 50 tonight that in no way makes these issues disappear. They will flare up from time to time.. When? No one can answer that..
