CELTICS 2010

He looks like a cut rate Wahlberg

he's from the czech republic so i'm not going to hold any resemblances against him

I won’t either but I think it’s funny the Bruins picked someone who looks so Bostonian

Which Wahlberg is that?

lmfao

True fact: I'm watching for the first time since '87, when my grandfather stormed us out of the Garden during an anti-Bird tirade. Gonna try to keep up, but I don't even know *how* to watch without sounding like a goofball. So far: Love Al Horford, and I'm kind of confused by Marcus Smart. Is he good?

lol you have already hit on one of the most divisive questions in the nba

also what the fuck was your grandpa's problem with larry bird?

hes not "good" but hes —good—

He’s the most divisive Smart in New England since Pamela.

Maybe Nicole Kidman can play him in the movie, too.

As far as I can reconstruct it, Grandpa loved Jordan and was v. allergic to Great White Hope narratives, which were kind of everywhere in the cheap seats in '87.

was he wite or no

culture of bird worship is def pretty suspect, he was a super great player tho

also a total bastard is a pretty over the top funny way

every time simmons called bird "basketball jesus" i got the willies

yeaah lol

recall some black kids i knew growing up straight up rooting for the lakers lol

I dunno - Bird's feet were pretty much nailed to the ground

xpost

haa

Grandpa was white (and Native American!), but an Anglican civil rights guy to his core.

right on

yeah fair.

anyway your instincts are right on horford who is having a wild good defensive game.

i love smart as the 7th guy on a good team which is what he is right now. he'd be pretty dicey in a bigger role or different circumstance.

yeah u really want to deploy him strategically

someone needs to do a deep dive on gucci mane's mysterious absorption into the boston sports scene

Who is next to him? Gucci Ma’am?

his celtics thing is cause him n jaylen go back to jaylens high school days in atl

and he also has the bob kraft relationship b/c of the meek mill thing iirc. like we should just absorb him but we are too white to understand why that would be good.

gucci turning into a universally loved snoop dog type is one of the most unexpected career twists of all time

yeah it seemed like it was going far in the opposite direction for a while

omg the celtics hate joel so much

horford has him completely figured out in the post to a degree that is kind of weird

joel is unsound man hes on his way toward blowing one of the great basketball gifts of alltime

feeling a rasheed-type trajectory for embiid

yeah

oooh that's rough. sheed was more skilled but also more volatile.

yeah, i get this unfulfilled potential kinda vibe from embiid

i hate to sound like an old but he should take the craft more seriously

its embarrassing i can see why having someone like that talking constant shit annoys the celtics especially after they destroyed him in the offs cmon man

its funny, the league is full of gym rats and workaholics and #riseandgrind dudes and embiid is like, im gonna play pick up ball against regular people and run through the city at night and watch cartoons fuck with me, its kinda charming from the outside, but if i were a sixers fan i'd be kinda mad lol

yeah def hes funny sometimes but the insane levels of him thinking hes cute is gonna wear on ppl

Joel would do well to not forget the tale of poor dwight howard

i just think it's so hard to be transcendent as a big man these days and embiid has the ability to do it but i'm not sure he understands the gulf between where he is and where he could be.

Joel would do well to not forget the tale of poor dwight howard
