CELTICS 2010

winner of 7-8 gets the 7 seed and other winner gets the 8

hmm so the only difference between 7 and 8 is getting home court for the 7-8 game?

yea

i've come around to thinking the 2nd round home court is more important as long as you think the bucks are a tougher matchup than the nets

which i do think

you risk a first round upset for a better chance at going all the way, seems like something to do. i dont think first round fatigue is enough to offset home court

i think the chance of losing to the nets is well more than home court adds to beating the bucks tho, particularly considering theres zero chance of losing to the bulls

pretty crazy that the bulls were in first place not that long ago and are now maybe the worst team in the east off/ins

also philly really shouldve played the nets in the 1st round

ah well maybe the nets will lose the playin game, or maybe the celtics will only play their guys for five minutes tonight

yeah no philly-nets series is a big loss for us all

i'm really curious if there have ever been any other trends like this with this stat--they basically went from being like the #26 team in their lowest month to the #1 team in their highest.

it's an odd team stat in general--bottom 3 this year are the bucks, jazz, and raptors.

i think the 4 seed is better cause you avoid the bucks in round 2

isn't the problem with the 4 seed that you're playing toronto and we still don't know if the celtics are fully vaccinated?

imo its pretty clear that they are but i guess its moot now

from todays big athletic piece on udoka

As much as he is influenced by Popovich, Udoka often recites former Utah coach Jerry Sloan, going as far as to implement one of his sayings into the nightly scouting reports.

“One thing Jerry used to say that I use with the guys is ‘tuxedo guys’ … that’s a kind way of saying a guy is soft,” Udoka said. “On every scouting report, we have ‘tuxedo guys’ and the whole team has kind of run with it. Jerry would say certain guys like to ‘play in their tuxedo’ — you know, have a nice, easy game, don’t touch them, how’s your family? … Nah. We’re not about that.”

lmao celtics are calling players soft on their scouting report i simply must know who the tuxedo guys are

hahah what a great phrase

the inverse of lunch bucket guys

jaylen refusing in a weird way to talk about anything

Asked about his vaccination status, Jaylen Brown pointed out he missed the playoffs last year. He said he’s “ready to play against anybody” in the playoffs, implying he would be able to play in Toronto. But he said he won’t comment on his vaccination status or anyone else’s.

Jaylen Brown declined to say if he is practicing Ramadan: "Ramadan is a special time, definitely in relationship with God and relationship with adversity, persevering through distraction and any negativity...Ramadan is something special, that saved my life in many ways."

— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) April 14, 2022

i thought his reason for being cagey about vaccination was his position in the players union or some such nonsense. also someone tell jared you don't "practice ramadan"

its not the typical terminology but in my muslim opinion ramadan can be considered a religious practice

Ramadan is something special, that saved my life in many ways.

I think he answered the Ramadan question, but indirectly. His refusal regarding his vaccination status was a definite stonewall, but we'll be able to draw an accurate conclusion when the series moves to Toronto.

imo he was stronger re being vaxxed he only confirmed that hes practiced ramadan before whatever that means

theres also other info out there that points towards him being vaxxed fwiw

we talking about practicing (Ramadan)?

haha

lol

hahaha nice

ballers w/randoms

Auspicious beginning to the offs with Tatum's first career buzzer beater. Final possession was 12 seconds - saw in the AP write-up that all 5 Celtics on the floor touched the ball. Pretty sweet.

pretty crazy they couldnt get their signature ball movement going all game then the final play they did

which is the opposite of what usually happens in basketball
