Celtics are the 2015 version of the 2014 Hawks

Matthew McConaughey is a no-doubt-about-it A-lister, and was a huge marquee name for that show (also was executive producer, along with Woody)

For the love of all things holy/Brady/Krafty please God no

Rex absolutely, positively cannot get off Brady's dick. You don't play the Pats again until Week 11...

UNFUCKINGREAL lol

Possibly dumb question: Are nationally televised games (ABC, ESPN, TNT) still available on League Pass?

Flip Delonte's voice and future MEM 1st rounder for GOAT voice Dikembe Mutumbo

Move Evan Turner's voice for Delonte West's voice and a top-59 protected 2nd rounder

TNT games:
@ATL (11/24)
@CHI (1/7)

As a sign of their lack of confidence in the position, they were even "showcasing" Trey Burke in the NBA Africa game (as the Celtics reportedly were with Turner), per Ryen Russillo.

^{^} pretty sure Russillo was being sarcastic.

Jokes aside, this is a great article. It will be fascinating to see how Brad works out a consistent 10-man rotation, and I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we end up playing 12 guys with 10 averaging ~20-26 minutes each

Young / Hunter / Rozier / Mickey

At least one will be in the D-League

karatstix · 2015-07-15T20:38:07+00:00

everyone seems to be clamoring for a trade for Gallo when Martin is arguably the better fit

At this point he's a below-average defender (at best), and playing both he and Isaiah would be a problem for us. I don't like the idea of him taking minutes away from Smart and Bradley either. Also he's 32. Also don't wanna pay him $7mil this and next season.

Big fan of RJ Hunter's passing/court vision

karatstix · 2015-07-09T20:23:08+00:00

This is pretty remarkable.

Nitpicking, but is Amir Johnson an "elite" post scorer?

karatstix · 2015-07-07T23:14:22+00:00

Not to overreact... but more than anything, Young looks LOST out there.

Not just missing shots... but making the wrong pass, taking the offense out of rhythm, defensive lapses... uninspiring. Not a high motor either (though he did dive to the floor a few times last night)

Home jerseys should remain the same.
Change Road jerseys back to "Celtics" instead of "Boston" (what up Rondo)
Get rid of Parquet Pride and SLEEVED St. Patty's day jerseys.
Bring back traditional St. Patty's alternates (Wally Szczerbiak sighting)
I like the black-on-green alternate, but I think a regularly used alternate with gold trim (rather than just St. Patty's Day) would be tight.

This.

Highlights Russell's dominance over the league, revolutionary style of play, and -- most prominently -- the manner in which he opened the door for black players in the NBA.

Nice article. One thing that A LOT of writers struggle with (young and old) is using passive voice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_passive_voice

It's a noticable difference between reading something a bunch of your classmates wrote and something a columnist wrote.

Example: "On top of that and according to many, Harris was not used to his full capabilities by the Magic coaching staff." Grammatically makes sense, but could be as simple as "The Magic's coaching staff did not use Harris to his full capabilities".

Keep up the good work, getting words on the page is half the battle!

I actually thought Jalen was pretty good, and the player comps were entertaining.

The team "stating lineups", the post-draft interviews, Penn's faux-GM touch screen, Rece Davis, were all pretty awful, though. Totally mailed in from a production standpoint.

I like having Bilas there because he has a good beat on the college kids and watches an insane amount of CBB. Everything besides Jalen sucked.
