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.

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

aerosol really hates you all tbf

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 . . .

second team baby named hendrix (rob williams)

awww congrats to derrick. i have no idea where the hendrix trend is coming from but happy for all the new babies.

nice

The Red Sox are all wearing Celtics jerseys on the flight to Chicago. I support this. Austin Davis had the full uniform, shorts and all.

i'm stealing this from somewhere else but had to share--tatum is in all likelihood going to end up playing the most minutes of anyone this season, potentially by a lot:

Tatum is second in total regular season + playoff minutes (3,334) behind Mikal Bridges (3,354).

Remaining teams' leaders:

DAL: Dorian Finney-Smith (3,254)
GSW: Andrew Wiggins (2,790)
MIA: Tyler Herro (2,525)

Remaining teams' stars:

DAL: Luka Doncic (2,776)
GSW: Stephen Curry (2,682)
MIA: Jimmy Butler (2,426)

thats a lot of minutes got to find a way to get him more rest next year

awww congrats to derrick. i have no idea where the hendrix trend is coming from but happy for all the new babies.

Rose Mary Johnson & Celtics legend JoJo White were inseparable as kids growing up on the same St. Louis street.

Johnson never knew she'd one day have a grandson, Jayson Tatum, who'd become the next great Celtic.https://t.co/2xKCQ6fG2N

Rob Williams on how angry Ime Udoka was when Klay Thompson hit a three late in the third quarter: "(laughs) You seen it. He was...yeah...you seen it. He was like 'Get up!' and I was like 'I thought I was up!' But yeah, he was mad."

lol whats going on here

Is Ime Udoka actually Gordon Bombay? Are the Celtics actually the Mighty Ducks? They’ve basically transformed from District Five. Also, they’re doing this at practice. Seems pretty Ducks ish. pic.twitter.com/BGbnS5VKpZ

— Jay King (@ByJayKing) June 9, 2022

gotta make sure you have that one down

Ime Udoka may have saved the Celtics with a key question during a timeout after his team had committed some bad turnovers. According to a source, Udoka stepped into the huddle and said, "Will you guys stop playing like assholes?"

Aaaaaand we have our coaching moment of the year.

lmaooo

i love how al is this super square religious guy and his siblings are all completely unfiltered.

1.) coach Ime Udoka didn’t trust his bench; 2.) the Celtics had issues running a cohesive offense against an elite defense; and 3.) Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum handled the ball far too much and hence made turnovers trying to create their own shot.

in particular

It may be time to lighten the responsibility from Marcus Smart, sign a quality backup point guard that could shift Smart to shooting guard in a small lineup and jumpstart the offense in the fourth quarter. The Celtics offense was stagnant all season late in games and that has to be addressed because that stagnation likely cost them a championship.

but what of derrick white?

The hope for the Celtics is White improves over the summer and is benefited by a full training camp. But his struggles punctuate the Celtics’ need for a knockdown shooter off the bench. Stevens filled the roster with defenders, turning the Celtics into the league’s No. 1 defense.

But what happens when those defenders can’t score? That was their primary issue.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/06/19/sports/after-falling-just-short-celtics-face-critical-offseason-chase-franchises-18th-championship/

It wasn't that Ime didn't trust his bench, he just had no options and versatility there. Practically ever player in uniform for GS was in the rotation at some point during the season. Cs were all in on their 8.5 man rotation but when Grant lost the magic and White got cold he had no other options. Feel like he gave Pritchard and Theis the exact right minutes but those should've been the 4th and 5th or even 6th guys off the bench, not the 3rd and 4th.

yeah not really a trust thing, grant and theis just didn't fit the matchup. white played plenty of minutes but wasn't good

zero jumpers in the highlight reel guess theyre figuring theyll try to fix that, beautiful hair tho, nice handle moves well they say hes an elite athlete but its not exactly jumping out of those clips

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIf53FnxNrw

some jumpers in here doesnt look bad, 72%ft not great but not awful 30%3pt very bad, 57% from two is nice

ehh late 2nd round pick, not really expecting an nba player

listen we have to do our due diligence here

five star recruit super athletic gets to the rim good playmaker wonderful hair great on the break, just cant shoot

evergreen

yeah i mean its basically the definition of a second rounder but at least its not if this guy can learn to move his feet faster

speaking of learning to shoot is there any hope for nesmith

yeah i think there is, seems like he just never found his rhythm, but if he does he could be a pretty ideal 3 and d guy

nesmith knocked em down in warmups and was a jumpy mess every time he got in a game. he should benefit from reps in a lower-pressure setting.
