oh man i might never ever get over gordon "education reform" hayward

its perfectly lame

it's insanely bad

derozan is apparently using that too, sad

smh

is there a non possible pro-charter school meaning to "education reform"? Like, just the idea that education should be improved in some way? I think CJ McCollum is using it too, disappointingly

they cld def mean in just a i believe the children are our future sort of way, however if you know anything about gordon haywards wife robyn who runs his life theres a very good chance she is forcing charter school propaganda upon him a simple man who just wishes to game

iirc cj is a big time "stay in school kids" guy and maybe it's the only slogan that had the word education on it

gotta send yr kids to a charter school, god knows they can't handle the mean streets of the wellesley public school system.

i am saddened to report that @tvabby has been laid off :(

whaaaat

i guess all the comcast sports rsns got thinned out today, sucks. but they kept kyle draper who is the most generic nothing guy whereas abby is actually really good at her job.

romeo got lotsa minutes tonite and looked really good on D.

hard fall to earth for the nets there

brian scal has absolutely refused to shut up about romeos defense for a while now lol, if a rookie can go out there and play good nba D with almost no reps god bless i wont stand in his way, hes shown something going to the basket too hes already strong uses his body well doesnt rush made a nice dish last night, his shot still looks might fd up tho, if he can get that together who knows he might be on to something

the pick might be moving up a few spots

What if the Grizzlies finish 0-8? Here's the record each West playoff bubble team would need to have to pass them:

Blazers: 4-4
Pelicans: 4-4
Kings: 4-4
Spurs: 5-3
Suns: 6-2

The Grizzlies face OKC, Toronto, Boston & Bucks in their remaining games.

Gulp. https://t.co/SYR8qlUgdD

I was too young to personally experience the 80s Celtics but I was at the playoff game in 02 when the Pierce/Antoine Celts had a massive 4th Q comeback against the JKidd Nets (largest ever at the time and maybe still?). In the final minutes of the game, the chants of "Beat LA" were electric. I don't think most of the crowd expected that that team was actually going to the finals to face LA. In other words, hatred of the Lakers is like one of the most integral parts of Celtics fandom, I love it.

recall watching that game at a bar in the middle of nowhere colorado rockies

That's funny, I watched Game 6 2012 - when Lebron demolished the last hurrah of the KG/Truth/Ray Celts - in a bar the middle of nowhere in the Rockies!

even weirder, it was the same rockies

dam

sick

What a perfect pass from Jaylen Brown 🔥pic.twitter.com/KjvLOnDHDJ

lol no arguments here

Jaylen Brown's transition pass to Gordon Hayward last night was impressive.

Worth noting: Brown made the exact same pass to Hayward vs. Toronto on Oct. 25: pic.twitter.com/Xsg7Tgdq9G

@BrianTRobb
Bubble Jayson Tatum looks pretty similar to that guy we saw in February since his nightmare outing against Bucks:
25.3 ppg,
53.7% FG
48.9% 3pt (7.5 attempts/G)
87.5% FT (5.3 attempts/G)

hahahahah

loving the jaylen/donovan bubble banter today

congrats brad

Brad Wanamaker is the 6th player in the last decade to shoot over 92.5% from the line on at least 100 attempts, per @SportRadar

wow, i now have to be thankful to coach k for something? damn.

ha same

The Celtics will now receive the 14th pick of the 2020 draft from the Memphis Grizzlies, unless the 2.4% chance of the Grizzlies winning a top-4 pick in the lottery occurs. Then the pick would roll over to being officially conveyed next year.

the coveted "Lottery Pick"

big time lottery baby

wow, i now have to be thankful to coach k for something? damn.

haha. the thing that surprised me in that story, though, is the implication that when they swapped picks w/the sixers, exactly three days before the draft, the celtics still hadn't made up their mind about tatum.

I didn’t assume that, sounds like he had already worked out for them so it might’ve just been to check off a few final boxes or something. Obv the decision to draft Tatum paid off, but even with hindsight I still mostly read that trade as Ainge being on some clairvoyant shit about Fultz

I.e. they may not have decided fully on Tatum but had decided they wanted to trade the pick. I do remember a lot of the buzz in those few days after the pick was traded was about them taking Josh Jackson lol. Glad things didn’t go that way!

yeah, i got curious about this so i'm reading some contemporary accounts, and the party line out of the celtics was that they didn't see much difference between fultz, ball, tatum, and jackson as far as draft board rankings go. seems like they were comfortable deciding between tatum and jackson following the trade.

thank u to jayson tatum for going to that workout lol
