CELTICS 2010

yeah that's where i bought my shoes for many years now i just buy the same ones online

that entire area is unrecognizable nowadays. the celtics facility looks rad from the pike tho—you can see the replica championship banners when you drive by.

yeah last time I drove by there I was like holy shit what did they do here. it's only been like 6 yrs since I last lived there but it's unrecognizable now

rem koolhaus had an amazing proposal to reroute the charles to make that section of brighton part of cambridge in order to unite the various havard holdings on either side of the river lol

lmao what the fuck

just send the river thru lower allston no one will notice

there it is baby

love to propose Cultural districts

all very reasonable

wait isn't that pic from the pike straightening proposal? b/c i think they're actually going to do that one.

new thats the river i found the proposal http://oma.eu/projects/harvard

i disapprove of anything that doesn't add more trains

maybe instead of moving the river just add more trains?

ahh i see it now well here's some pike straightening graphics for my urban planning fans:

ah that seems like a pretty decent proposal for what is def a weird isolated by roads part of the city

yeah it's good, makes a ton of sense

hahahaah

The Moses Scheme
By diverting the Charles River, previously separated parts of the campus are reconnected by a band of infrastructure, academic space and parks. In a single move, Harvard's desire for contiguity and Allston's desire for riverfront access are realized. Furthermore, Harvard gets land at the heart of its campus, Cambridge gets new commercial space and Allston gains exposure and visibility. At the metropolitan scale, existing districts are extended and new ones are created.

than only thing i want more than to be paid for proposing harebrained planning ideas that will never happen is to be paid for writing about the characteristics of generations.

yeah good work if you can get it

that's incredible

rad

what are bird's politics like? never really thought about it before

just assumed he was some flinty asshole republican but in the comments to the tweet where i got that photo someone said he skipped the championship whitehouse visit when reagan was there and said "the president knows where to find me if he wants" lol

he grew up *so* poor it doesn’t surprise me if he’s a flinty midwestern lib.

im not convinced smart is actually a good player tbh

me neither tbh but its destiny that he play on the celtics forever

i'm going to wait and see the number before i have an opinion on this

he's a decent player with a very weird profile so good luck if any org without great coaching thinks they can use him well

can't wait to see how the Sacramento Kings hide him on offense

im not convinced smart is actually a good player tbh

if he can do what he did to james harden in december exactly once a year for the next four years, i figure that's worth between $50 and $60 million right there. basically $6 to $8 million per harden offensive foul. that's what he should get paid.

extremely good brand-building

hah i love this guy

killer name:

The Boston Celtics and guard Walt Lemon Jr. have agreed a two-way NBA contract, league sources tell Yahoo. Lemon played five games for the New Orleans Pelicans last season.

glad to see theyre going to work it out with the avatar of weird celtics fandom

Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
Celtics GM Danny Ainge and Happy Walters, the agent for restricted free agent guard Marcus Smart, are now seriously engaged in contract talks, league sources tell ESPN. Potential deal range is in the four-year, $46M-$50M range, sources tell ESPN. Talks ongoing.

thats a pretty big overpay in this years tight market but theyre prob thinking that if he takes the one year tender and becomes an UFA hell get something like that next year when everyone has money

and if danny and brad both think marcus is good i believe them

It's only a few million over the non-taxpayer mid-level exception. I think it's totally fair for how much he's worth to the team chemistry and heart.

yeah i’m good with that, clear sign that they think he’s integral to the team.

if danny and brad both think marcus is good i believe them

this.

i worry myself silly every time he's holding the ball. i breathe easy every time he's standing between someone else who's holding the ball and the basket.

he is a truly an utterly destructive defender

its cool watching him play d he's super into it and good at it, is my analysis

Getting NBA starters, who were the top dogs on every team they played for before getting drafted into the league, to be totally committed to playing great defense, has always been a rarity.
