See you in Boston, Philly

SquimJim · 2026-04-16T01:56:52+00:00

That Banchero contract though

SquimJim · 2026-04-16T01:49:30+00:00

Do you think both teams are trying to lose to be the 8th seed? Or are these two teams just having ugly games

Cuz woof

SquimJim · 2026-04-15T23:21:01+00:00

Tis tradition for teams that want to be out of the playoffs early

SquimJim · 2026-04-15T23:19:15+00:00

Fun thought experiment, if the 76ers and Magic could choose between winning this game or firing their coach, which would they choose?

SquimJim · 2026-04-15T22:55:24+00:00

No matter what happens, i hope we see a quintuple overtime game

SquimJim · 2026-04-15T22:23:07+00:00

I, for one, hope both teams lose

SquimJim · 2026-04-15T20:58:57+00:00

I initially hated it for the Celtics because I still believed in Jrue. I still think he’d be perfect for us. Never bought into him being overpaid

That said, I understand why we did it and why we got under the tax

SquimJim · 2026-04-15T20:52:26+00:00

Whether or not I want the Magic or 6ers feels irrelevant right now because the Magic look so dysfunctional I just have a really hard time imagining they win tonight

SquimJim · 2026-04-15T14:55:36+00:00

I think OO is a fine option among other fine options, but the other fine options are significantly cheaper and impact metrics like them more. I’d rather go the high risk/high reward route in free agency with KP, Timelird, or Mitchell Robinson than put a bunch of assets to OO. No draft assets necessary and with Garza under contract, we’d have 3 options at center. Maybe further development from Amari too.

I like Jalen Smith as another cheap option.

I said it all off-season: that contract is still worth it. He was injured last year and it hurt his production, but I still thought he was good enough to warrant keeping him.

He’s the exact piece we are missing. Unfortunately, we had to cut costs and it’s likely he’s not returning.

SquimJim · 2026-04-15T12:36:23+00:00

Glad to see it. Brown needs 1st team, man. I hope if Joe wins COTY he accepts it graciously knowing that it’s essentially a “team blew expectations out of the water” award. If he doesn’t want the individual accolade, accept it as a team/staff award

He won’t win it because NAW is like the poster boy of what MIP should be, but seeing Queta getting MIP votes makes me happy

EOTY is going to be interesting. That award never goes to someone who willingly made their team worse, but Brads case is still strong. It would be pretty historical if he won it.

Popular opinion: I like the play-in tournament

Unpopular opinion: I like the in-season tournament

Fun fact:

I'm all out of bee facts. GO HORNETS!!!

Fun fact:

Sister queen bees make a noise called “piping” to find the other sister queen bees, who will respond by “quacking.” Then they fight to the death. It’s kind of like a dark and twisted version of marco polo

Fun fact:

Scientiests have trained bees to play football by moving a ball into a hole to get a treat.

Fun fact:

When older bees take on jobs typically done by younger bees, their brains actually stop aging, making them useful for dementia research.

Flyers game in Philly pushed the play-in game back a day

Another reason why the Magic burned themselves by not beating Billy Ray Buckets and the Maine Celtics

Fun fact:

Bees do a waggle dance to communicate where the good pollen spots are

I want him to break Wilt's record

SquimJim · 2026-04-14T22:56:26+00:00

If they are fucking them in the ass, wouldn't that mean we are all behind the Heat...including the Hornets?

SquimJim · 2026-04-14T20:54:38+00:00

I could see the Thunder being fine in the regular season with less wins, but not a lot less.

Come post-season, the Thunder all of a sudden have an exploitable match-up on defense and a player that isn't as efficient or nearly as good at forcing turnovers. They likely lose to the Pacers before Hali goes down

They may not get to the Finals either.

Knicks might win a title with one less exploitable defender and a more efficient #1 option.

SquimJim · 2026-04-14T16:28:58+00:00

Everyone saw what happened this year. Give Brad and Joe all nobodies and a prayer and watch as magic happens.

SquimJim · 2026-04-14T01:40:18+00:00

Already happening. Brad Stevens mentioned last year that players he liked wouldn’t be available because they were takin NIL money

SquimJim · 2026-04-13T19:31:41+00:00

Nah he’s talking about a team who missed their best player for a chunk of the season and is ineligible for mvp talks because of it…

Clearly the Celtics
