CELTICS 2010

wiggle room

The benefit from the extension is that Boston eliminates $5.7M of likely/unlikely bonuses that would have counted toward the first/second apron.

Celtics now have wiggle room to get under the apron at the trade deadline if needed. https://t.co/n948CIifEt

White has two years remaining on the four-year, $70 million extension he signed with the Spurs in 2020. He’s due to earn $18.4 million this season and then $19.6 million in 2024-25. Under the new rules of the collective bargaining agreement, White can extend for three years at 140% of his 2024-25 salary, so a deal would look like something around three years, $85 million that would begin in 2025-26.

this is a year out of date but sounds like white could extend for ~$28m around the same money jrue got, which seems pretty good for him hes obvs a very good and valued player but im not sure whos maxing him out, tho he could play out the last year of his deal and get more from the celtics, or effectively force a trade to a team thats willing to give him more if the celtics arent, hope they just extend him asap that would be nice

i understand the desire to not let your players get rusty, but is having your starters play this badly for 30-plus minutes a night contributing to that cause?

also good lord why are they airing these games on national tv?

cool article: https://theathletic.com/5381229/2024/04/10/kristaps-porzingis-celtics-post-up-analytics/

Fascinating insight from Joe Mazzulla into his mindset on @PardonMyTake. Says he never uses revolving doors, studies the exits of every room he’s in, and uses watching cartoons with his kids as a chance to teach them lessons:

good luck to the celtics and their very normal coach tjis offs!

silicon valley brain poisoning ass bullshit

its ok we know he's not normal, we made peace with it. just need him to draw up some plays that move the ball late in the 4Q and we're good

its tough being a weird guy dont think ive ever heard him say something about basketball that i disagree with but i see him on the sideline with his crucifix pin and im like idk about all this

feel like sports brain is upstream in this case—sports, sales, cop shit— its just guy stuff

time 2 slam dunk the patriarchy imho

i mean if this is how he wants to be “basketball coach” is a much better professional outlet than “police officer” or “IT manager”

lol true

big time college and pro sport coaches - as a class of people - are the most demented people in our society today

some truly fucked in the head guys for sure

i mean...like this past year I saw so much Jim Harbaugh...he seems brain damaged in interviews

this david roth piece about how harbaughs favorite song is The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald is so out there https://defector.com/the-edmund-fitzgerald-is-inspiring-jim-harbaugh-and-michigan-football-to-achieve-lake-mindset

2014 nba finals mvp Passing back at it again

gotta love it

scal naming names lol

Was this play by Miami's Caleb Martin on Jayson Tatum in the closing moments of Game 1 dirty?

Celtics' broadcaster Brian Scalabrine didn't like the lead-up to the play...

“I’m not trying to start nothing here, but Erik Spoelstra calls a timeout with 1:30, down by 16. Thirty seconds later, that play happens,” said Scalabrine, a former player who won a title with Boston in 2008. “Why is he calling a timeout at 1:30 and why is that play happening 30 seconds later? That looked shady to me.”

Scalabrine made multiple media appearances since saying those words, debating whether it could have been an intentional move. While the tone was generally diplomatic from both organizations, Scalabrine’s campaign did draw a more stark reaction from Heat legend Udonis Haslem. The three-time champion left his critique in the comments section of a video of Scalabrine’s appearance on “The Dan LeBatard Show.”

“Shut yo sucka ass up!!” Haslem commented. “He got pushed. Brian Weak ass!!”

lmfao

empty corner post up interesting way to bust the zone

This play to me started the Celtics slaughter of the Heat zone. Jrue tells Tatum to come post up around the short corner and they kinda isolate that side. Him being at this spot makes the double team/stunt easier to spot. Hauser got 3 threes off this. Tatum had a 10 assist game pic.twitter.com/iM540ZJV2H

— Nik☘️ (@__Kingnik) April 21, 2024

with analysis, good observation that tatum shows a lot of patience in waiting for the heat to really commit to the double before he swings it

d white went nuts lol dunking in traffic bombing threes love to see it

getting fouled on multiple dunks w/no calls

refs couldnt believe what they were seeing

dude was unbelievable but Tatum and Brown need to step up too

weird series heat are having a lot of success messing with the celtics but they just dont have enough offense to keep up

congratulation brad well deserved

Brad Stevens has been named NBA Executive of the Year

— Jared Weiss (@JaredWeissNBA) April 30, 2024

not sure a team as successful as the celtics has ever done such a big overhaul as they did last offseason

the soleus muscle the true star of these playoffs

Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis has a right soleus strain. He will miss Game 5 vs. Miami on Wednesday.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) April 30, 2024

Re: Porzingis: KP suffered the same injury that is currently keeping Giannis sidelined. As I mentioned then, the soleus is a part of the calf muscle complex. The average time lost for strains specified as a soleus injury is ~17 days (6 games). Read more here:…

looking pretty nice that cavs and magic will go at least 6, here’s hoping for 7 (and that c’s take care of their biz tomorrow obv)

yeah obvs youd rather have him play all the games but it looks like the stich could be pretty ok, tho theres not info yet on how bad the injury is so who knows i guess

and, just in case, maybe don't leave tatum in for the last 2 minutes of games in which you're up by 19 points? just a thought!

yeah and they left zinger in there with a rolled ankle which then turned into this current much worse injury

ptsd is baked into playing the heat, prob terrifying to show any mercy at any point

love to watch derrick "michael jordan" white

sending mike gorman off in style

yup good stuff

this post is just me quarantining unkind things i could say about pat riley and the miami heat. it's a good night, i won't say those things.

lol
