Houston traded Clint Capela on 2/5/2020, a little over a month before the league shut down for COVID. It is boggling my mind how quickly and dramatically they have completely shifted the identity, trajectory, whatever of their team. I guess better to go from contention to process-like rebuild in half a season than to wait a decade to blow it up like the Magic did tho
(xps to me reflecting on rob's ability to never miss a shot against them)

I forgot how he got that nickname. I guess it's an sarcastic dig at him for missing a meeting years ago? At this point they should pass that title to Wiseman and give Rob a better one.

Yeah he had issue with his promptness. He also regenerates into a new body every several years.

I hate him bc he's on the Celts, but I would take him on the Sixers in two seconds. Knowing the Sixers, they'll pick him up as a broken-down 35 yo.

The decision was made after Pierce published racy Instagram videos on Friday, showing him smoking what appeared to be marijuana and with scantily clad women whom may have been strippers.

i do wonder if this all happened in reverse ... espn let him go and then he was like, fuck it now it's time to live. certainly ESPN has stood by personalities for far worse than smoking weed with strippers. paul was legit awful on TV tho good riddance
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 April 2021 17:46 (three years ago) link
yeah that makes a lot of sense. he certainly didn’t take the job seriously/was terrible at it.

feel like espn wouldve just said so if that were the case BUT maybe paul knew he was about to be fired OR maybe he was in some sort of fight with them and just said fuck it
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 6 April 2021 18:24 (three years ago) link
it has to be some confluence of events, i don't think espn normally just fires ppl this quickly over one incident

During Bird's era almost no one practiced taking threes regularly. It was still considered a low percentage shot, suitable for desperation flings as the shot clock wound down. A player who sought to specialize in threes was a freak.

god it felt good to see the ball movement last night. tatum looking so slick and poised. i am excited to eat my words writing off their season
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Wednesday, 14 April 2021 17:10 (three years ago) link
+ hustle on defense, i had literally forgotten what that looked like
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 April 2021 17:12 (three years ago) link
if they can keep this up the bench is still the big question mark. if Romeo can stay healthy and effective and Fournier jells in, I am excited. Tristan not quite as objectionable when he's backin up Rob instead of obstructing his minutes.
My other latent worry is that Kemba seems like he could fall off the washed cliff at any moment, but i guess his game has always looked a little unlikely. hopefully he can hang on for another season or two
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Wednesday, 14 April 2021 17:15 (three years ago) link
yeah all reasonable, wld add resigning fournier to the list of worries too, if they cant retain him theres not a lot of routes to upgrading the team
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 April 2021 17:20 (three years ago) link
Not to pour cold water on all this enthusiasm, but the Celtics shot about 43% from three and only won by one point against the sixth place team in the West. This is hardly a towering achievement and as a Blazer fan I'm more likely to overestimate my team than otherwise.
― sharpening the contraindications (Aimless), Wednesday, 14 April 2021 19:30 (three years ago) link

― lag∞n, Wednesday, 14 April 2021 20:45 (three years ago) link
They are on a bit of a tear at the moment and it would be nice to see them stay healthy and secure the 4 spot. Could more or less equally well be eliminated in the second game of the play-in. It’s a frustrating team in a frustrating season!
