CELTICS 2010

even at the time i remember being like yeah sure guy

can you imagine the level of binge drinking at boston college in the mid 80s my god

kinda funny thinking about it i grew up in newton where boston college is and theres just no relationship between the town and the school i had one friend whos family went to the football games but you never hear anyone talking about bc sports or anything, maybe its cause they insist on being from "chestnut hill" the fanciest part of newton or cause its named boston college idk, college sports are kinda just not a thing in boston altogether which is ironic considering it has the most colleges of anywhere in the world

one gets the sense that those institutions view athletics to be a bit beneath the true pursuit of higher education, which is entering into the world of elite banking

i had a box of flutie flakes as a kid bcuz my dad's side is from buffalo. i think the box is still at their house actually

one gets the sense that those institutions view athletics to be a bit beneath the true pursuit of higher education, which is entering into the world of elite banking

and im proooooud to be an american, where at least i know im freeeeeee

bc has some fringe decent teams like periodically their football or basketball teams get into the top 25 so you know theyre trying, but the fan interest just isnt there

lol forgot about flutie flakes excellent artifact of flutie mania

i grew up in tennessee and i remember flutie and The Pass. it was the biggest thing ever.

it was a good pass

Flutie flakes have their own extensive wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flutie_Flakes

reading tweets about a potential jrue trade and a lot of celtics fans are already very attached to jordan walsh, he hasnt even played a game yet lol, love the passion god bless

jesus christ people i would fire jordan walsh into the sun for jrue

local fans are so fun when it comes to lower tier guys nobody else has ever heard of, one of my favorite little things

its pretty funny

i appreciate their managers and agents and whatever probably had a lot to do with this lil video but jrue and lauren seem like pretty solid people

"Our purpose here is to love each other."

From Jrue supporting his wife Lauren when she had a brain tumor while pregnant, to them donating millions of dollars to Black and Brown businesses in 2020, the Holidays have always been a team ❤️ @ESPYS pic.twitter.com/L8kGIWnZrl

🫤

he's learned from the best (kyrie). should work out just fine.

have you guys seen any tweet or article that accounts for the picks boston sent out and received in the smart & jrue deals? i've seen the "boston turned smart, brogdon, grant & rob into jrue & zinger" tweets but not any that includes the picks that went in/out too

not in a perfect capsule format but you could reconstruct it pretty easily. i have seen that flavor of tweet that only talks about rotation players but idk if i use that lens much.

iirc they traded one of their firsts for brogdon then they got two 1sts from memphis for smart and sent one of their own and one of the ones they got for smart out for jrue

cad telling me "get your fucking ass up and work. it seems like nobody wants to work these days"

my calculation of it all would be

celtics in:

porzingis
holliday
jordan walsh
four future second round picks

celtics out:

smart
r. williams
brogdon
2029 first (unprotected)

the two firsts for smart have been burned through: one was sent out in the holliday deal & the other was chopped up instantaneously into walsh and the four future seconds. from a picks perspective it's basically net zero here depending on how much you value the second round picks

so they're essentially out 3 rotation players and a future unprotected first this offseason. ok this is what i wanted to know.

lol sorry, it is never my intention to create more work.

windhorst actually did a version of it on his pod but didn’t account for the second-rounders so nice job by you tbh.

pretty good for the celtics particularly considering they acquired future hall of famer jordan walsh

lol i forgot about all brads draft night trades each one spinning up a new second rounder

my 12 y o says it doesn't feel like the celtics anymore, it feels like they're just mashing teams up together

yeah celtics had an unusual run with a bunch of home grown guys now theyre just like every other team, tho they at least they still have the jays

the home grown team was basically good enough they just needed a 'true' point guard

its not like they werent already this sort of team a few years back when they brought in gordon hayward and kyrie (and later kemba) the home grown part was just a couple years between that sputtering out and now

crazy

Jrue Holiday and Derrick White is going to be a nightmare defensively for opposing offenses.

Here are some percentiles for them both (among guards w/ 1K+ mins):

Holiday | White:

D-LEBRON: 96th | 96th
D-DPM: 98th | 95th
On/Off DRTG: 98th | 98th
D-DRIP: 89th | 99th
LA-DRAPM:… pic.twitter.com/CI6Z4xyaoP
