CELTICS 2010

jordan u forgot one crucial point that i dont have to watch rasheed power-walk from 3 pt line to 3 pt line thus the regular season will be less depressing. i know what to expect from fat shaq and he is really fourth/fifth big man on the depth chart and at a min salary and somehow that's less depressing

for real though i think cs will be energized by the finals run and ready for vengeance. injuries were big last year too

clincher is that league pass also means i can watch okc all the time if all else fails

clincher is that league pass also means i can watch okc all the time if all else fails

Was thinking this exact same thing today.

Shaq is all smiles because he will earn a few more million dollars for doing little odd jobs here and there.

this i don't believe. i think o'neal is desperately concerned with going out on a super high note -- preferably by beating bryant in the finals. he could have signed for more money elsewhere. not that i think he's likely to put boston over-the-top at this stage of his career, but whatevs.

i hope he wears the bowtie during games, is all i hope.

BRIDE OF PERKINSTEIN

aw

shaq to solidify celtics:

BOSTON — NBA analyst David Aldridge said Wednesday that with the addition of Shaquille O'Neal, the Celtics have vastly improved their chances of leading the league in three-second lane violations for the 2010–2011 season. "Not only does Shaq's presence in the paint give his team more opportunities to turn the ball over, but the Celtics have also added an experienced big man who makes an already old team significantly older," said Aldridge, adding that O'Neal should fill a key role in terms of drastically slowing down the Celtics' offense. "Danny Ainge was looking for someone with size who can't make it down to the other end of the court, and he went out and got the best in the business." Aldridge added that while O'Neal isn't the dominant force he once was, he believes Shaq still has a thing or two to teach teams who think it's a good idea to sign him.

He may not entirely solidify the C's, but he can add a lot of viscosity.

hahahahaaha guys i just realized, shaq is really fat!

on paper and based on my faded memories of his great prime years, boston signing shaq sounds like a very good move. then, you read stuff like this:

SamAmicoNBA Shaq on Mo: "Guys who couldn't even play were worried about shots. Why was Mo (Williams) taking 15 shots, and I'm only taking four?"

if o'neal is complaining about his shots on a 66-win team featuring lebron james, i'm not convinced he'll all of a sudden be a good team player in boston. i imagine if he could work well anywhere, it would be there, given the quality character guys leading the team, but still . . .

he'll get over it

Perkins, who will turn 24 next season, is too young to remember when Shaq was a productive basketball player. When asked if he has seen any tapes of Shaqs days with the Magic, Lakers, or Heat Perkins replied “no . . . I don’t own a VCR.”

There's a lot to like about KG, but I wish to god he'd woof less at his opponents and refs and let his play do more of the talking. Too dickish from my pov.

Woofing at his teammates is ok in my book, though.

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...

we need an investigation can we get some lip readers on this

zinger time

People forget that this is a 7’4 man moving like this.

That’s ridiculous.

“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:…

— Jeff Stotts (@InStreetClothes) April 30, 2024

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

CAD, this is a safe space to unleash your Pat Riley hatred
