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.

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

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 . . .

but when their guys go down its tough cause they just dont have enough offense, not just in scoring but also playmaking, theres barely a plus passer on the roster, as far as guys who actually get minutes its just rob and horf and neither of those guys have the game/position where they can force the issue as far as making plays, but when jayson and jaylen are both playing they can solve some of that just by putting pressure on the D via driving and at the 3pt line, then just make the simple pass once the defense is in rotation, jaylen got jayson some nice 3pt looks last night just via very easy drive and kicks

yeah it's a great point, no perimeter passing and no one who really moves without the ball, so the only way they can create advantages is by attacking and driving over and over which is tough in terms of expending energy and actually having enough guys who can do it effectively.

when its working it looks pretty nice start tiring out the other team and drawing fouls/gettin open kick out 3s, but yeah you have to be relentless and its not the easiest way to make a living

having rob in there getting behind the D is nice too for that style, he gets a couple early dunks and his defender def starts worrying about rotating off him

it would be nice for nesmith to learn to move without the ball more

yeah running around a bunch and then also hitting the shots he gets would be ideal for him

turns out pritchard is still good if you give him minutes who wouldve thought

lmao the crowd just chanted iso joe until joe johnson got into the game then chanted more until he took a shot

nodding

its chill

Celtics now 6-14 in games within five points in the final five minutes.

i think you have to ask yourself how arbitrary it is that we only count points when the ball goes through the hoop, in this way we open our third eye

finally someone said it

ray would like to bury the hatchet

There’s a rift that formed between you and the core members of that 2008 Celtics championship team: Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo. It apparently began when you left for Miami. Are there still hard feelings?

We don’t talk, sadly. I remember after we won in 2008, something that Kevin said, that we’re going to be brothers for life, that this is going to keep us bonded. Rip Hamilton and I are UConn brothers and champions and we’re connected for life. When he won in 2004 with the Pistons, they stayed connected and bonded. That’s something we’ve done a poor job as Celtics, keeping that bond connected. It’s not by my doing, either. The whole story of me leaving for Miami, regardless of that, it doesn’t change anything that we’ve done as a group. That group and what we did is historic. It’ll take cooler heads to prevail and for guys to say, ‘What are we mad about?’ There are so many other things happening in the world. We got to preach unity and togetherness, and for me, that’s always been my mantra. I don’t like the fact we haven’t talked. At some point, I’m sure we will have conversations and move this stuff past us.

shouldve thought of that first hoe

With Jayson Tatum and Rob Williams expected to return against the Spurs tomorrow night, Celtics will have fully healthy starting five available for first time since Dec. 13 win over Bucks.

— Brian Robb (@BrianTRobb) January 4, 2022

this is nice, next i would like tatum to remember how to play basketball good

By my count, the Celtics have been basically healthy for 24 of the 115 games they’ve played since the beginning of last season.

A lot of those games have a non-Jay rotation player out or are in Jayson’s “not technically covid but covid aftermath struggles” period.

— Ryan Bernardoni (@dangercart) January 4, 2022

It’s a fair point but excuses excuses. Eye test says the malaise and inconsistency are influenced by but not close to fully explained by injuries

one thing re bad vibes that ive noticed is a bunch of players in the media testifying to how well they get along with jaylen that its silly to say they dont but i never see anyone saying that they dont its odd

The Jays seem like a very awkward personality fit on top of the nonideal fit on the court

All that stuff at the beginning of his career about Jaylen being super intellectual and having all these non basketball interests, i wonder if he’s not an easy hang.

yeah def get the feeling they have some difficult personalities, marcus too

but on the other hand i do think they should consider putting together a more sensible roster and see if that lightens the mood

jaylen shd play w the spurs under pop, its destiny, they wd talk abt books and jaylen would score 28 a game

i would be happy for jaylen in san antonio but im afraid we simply cant allow him to go

it super sucks, yall are wasting his talents imo

wow ok

im telling it like it is, two guys as good as the jays youse guys should not be a 10 seed in the east immfho

how many games have the jays played together this year

4

think at this point i'd rather have a good point guard than two jays but maybe both is possible in some way

the thing about trading a player as good as jaylen is you never get equal value in return so its basically a non starter, seems like the two realistic options for the celtics to become a better basketball team are 1 acquire a third star via shipping off a bunch of draft picks or 2 build a more complimentary team, one that has more playmaking and shooting, around the jays

ever being at all healthy would help too

what do u want for the spur "derrick white" bc he could be available

xp

ben simmons
brad beal
fred van vleet
malcolm brogdon

guys who could help the celtics that they might could get

...damian lillard

well well well

spurs tried to give it to em and the celtics said no you have it

exactly

maybe stop playing the smart-schroder backcourt in crunch time idk, shooting is important in the nba ive heard, also playing yr starters long minutes on back to backs might not be a recipe for success

Boston coach Ime Udoka: Celtics lack leadership, mental toughness https://t.co/Vo92fZiXgt

— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) January 7, 2022

ime has not exactly been covering himself in glory so far

yeah im willing to give him time since this is his first head coaching job but complaining about leadership toughness etc in the media does not fill me with confidence

i havent been keeping up lately but earlier in the season he mostly came off as a really passive players coach

presuming that the gloves come off for ime in the media for real after the all-star break if this shit doesn't even out a bit

yeah. i think the players are bearing most of it now but with ime there is going to be some "so what exactly do you do around here?" type of questioning coming soon

There's an alternate timeline where the Celtics never get into All-Star point guard roulette and just develop Terry Rozier. Makes you kind of wistful to think about it

lol marcus smart just inbounded it to himself off somebody’s back for an easy layup

marcus wicked smaht

celtics have been within five games of .500 since the beginning of last season

they love it there

its "the sweet spot"

starting to feel like its time for the wizards to trade brad beal to the celtics for draft picks
