feel like this is all some elaborate joke

the LeDecision, celtics getting shaq, kobe winning the mvp while shooting 6/24, kevin durants twitter is all somehow tied together leading up to david stern announcing hes bought an applebees franchise or something and its gonna be the best applebees ever

yes doing this, keep in mind dudes that THERE IS NO FUTURE ONLY NOW (ie lockout 2011) the celtics do not care at all about the regular season and will only frustrate and depress you

and the playoffs will not make the season seem worth it, it will only depress you further for having sat thru their regular season nonsense

lol what the 2010 playoffs were totally worth it

no i only made u depressed further

it

stop telling ppl how depressed they are

i may become a celtics fan this season

diagnosis: depressed

:(

remember when they knocked out the skeet in the first round this year i do

bowtie is a nice touch for press conference attire.

this year will be fantastic.

Shaq is all smiles because he will earn a few more million dollars for doing little odd jobs here and there. Doc looks grimly serious because Shaq has just executed a cannonball into Doc's swimming pool and now only half the water is left in the pool.

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.

looking for a amen

will shaq playing for the Celtics in anyway hinder the chances of his jersey hanging in the rafters at Staples?

perkinstein, hadn't heard that one haha. shaq is on the boston celtics btw not sure if ya'll heard

man his twitter better blow up this season

http://i36.tinypic.com/28vq7nd.jpg

perkinstein, hadn't heard that one haha

im not messing with perkins. i like him

i'd push the big 3 down some stairs dont get me wrong

Then throw big baby down on top of'em

are these pre-emptively strikes against some trash-talking c's fans that haven't arrived yet or

ly

I don't get the potshots and hatred; C's fans aren't parasitical cancers like Lakers' fans.

oh GOODNESS i came here as a peace offering and now im a barnacle or some shit

'ez snappin' is scandalized by a little bored schtick BRA-VOE

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 . . .

the way the crowd noise undulates on that clip of the pritchard shot is so cool

wow load up the luxury tax then cash out

BREAKING: The Boston Celtics ownership group is planning to put the team up for sale, per @wojespn.

Wyc Grousbeck and his partners purchased the Celtics for $360 million in 2002 and could easily sell the team for over $5 billion today.

ha he wants to drive for a few more years

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GRaz04aXMAAQhc0?format=jpg&name=medium

he’s 63 and i’ve never heard of like a familial succession plan so this seems prudent, but he’s low-key one of the best owners in sports.

he saw the second apron and said thats enough, im getting out before there's a 3rd one of these

Yeah they’re selling the team but did you hear DERRICK WHITE GOT EXTENDED?

oh yeah I guess this happened too

curious to see what he can do with consistent minutes and a full season with the team

I’d like to see how he does on the nuggets for a future second round pick and a swap. who says no??

cool to get all these minimum guys back, doesn't always happen with winning teams

this one is so good in showing the method to everything they were doing on offense and defense in the finals

the way they vaporized the mavs best play was embarrassing for the rest of the league, 1.25ppp in the wcf to .68 in the finals lmao

ah interesting

In conversations with some sources close to the situation, I’ve come away convinced that soon-to-be-90-year-old H. Irving Grousbeck is the one driving this sale and that 63-year-old son Wyc (one of four children of Irving Grousbeck) — managing partner, governor, and CEO of the Celtics, and always identified as the team’s owner — actually owns a relatively small stake in the franchise.

H. Irving Grousbeck — still teaching at Stanford Business School — has been the money behind the group since the beginning and there’s every indication that the billionaire (Forbes lists “Irving Grousbeck and family’s” worth at $1.8 billion) rarely seen at Celtics games is motivating this sale in an attempt to get his affairs in order.

I emailed the elder Grousbeck late Wednesday, requesting comment on my assertions, and he responded Thursday with a polite no comment.

When I texted Wyc with, “You OK if I say your personal stake in the team is less than 2 percent?”, he answered, “We hold as a family — all unified . . . We are a family and I also have a Celtics family is my comment. Thanks.”

interesting!

(but struggling to do the math that leads forbes to believe irving grousbeck & family, who hold a significant stake in a team valued at around $5 billion, have a total net worth of only $1.8 billion)

forbes dont know

username vmic xpost

math checking cuz

Grousbeck co-founded Continental Cablevision (later Media One) in 1964 with his college roommate, Amos Hostetter, Jr.[1]

wait, so both wyc grousbeck and james dolan own nba teams b/c their dads founded cable tv companies in the sixties?

that’s america baby

cable tv gotta love it fuck streaming society is in the gutter

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser – one of the NBA’s most accurate three-point shooters -- has agreed on a four-year, $45 million contract extension, his agent Jason Glushon of @GlushonSM tells ESPN. pic.twitter.com/TCB0iGoeyd

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 21, 2024

Adding Hauser’s extension to the Celtics’ 2025-2026 payroll elevates it to a projected $225 million with an additional $210 million luxury tax penalty — highest in league and over the second-apron for a second consecutive year.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 21, 2024

wyc spending so much in luxury tax that he has to sell the team, salute

Hell yeah, run it back

if hauser can replicate this year for the foreseeable future let alone grow as a player that's a great deal. go c's
