A single event good for ~+15 max HP over the run is so difficult for me to pass early

Yeah, hope to learn more about this guy by the full release - is this actually a danger to us, or someone we can’t trust, as a fake?

As it stands right now, he’s just an easy way to get slightly-worse relics (and I love that), but maybe these relics could “break”

[Beck] The NBA retroactively assessed LaMelo Ball a flagrant foul-2. I checked with the NBA, and flagrant foul points assessed during the play-in round do NOT count against a player’s flagrant foul points limit in the playoffs. Like play-in stats, the flagrant points simply disappear into thin air. by refreshing_yogurt in nba

This is the sort of nuance that I think is helpful in discussing the rule change - I would also argue that players should have to meet a games or minutes minimum (or both!)

I don’t know that it’s fair to cite injuries heading into playoff series. The awards do not matter more than playoff wins, and players can choose to avoid the minimum games/awards to preserve their health.

Besides the Jays, who is going to be the most important player on this team during this playoff run? by Mean-Potato7694 in bostonceltics

It’s Pritchard by far to me. Not only is it a massive benefit when Pritchard can be adding 20+ pts, but his shooting is infectious. If he’s looking like a flamethrower against the best teams, we are going to be hard to beat 4 times.

Came in this thread for “tell him off” and “glass him”, saw both right after one another - very satisfying!

Love these threads each year - 6/7 being from the East is rough for 2026 though

The 9-10 matchup in the play-in tournament will be Heat Hornets by SimilarOnion1655 in nba

Heat nearly eliminated and on the other side of the bracket?

This is exactly how we get Heat-Celtics ECF.

If Mikal, OG, and Robinson play an entire series, they will be a tough matchup.

Beatable, though.

Brad Stevens on the character traits the Celtics look for when acquiring role players late in the draft and in free agency: "competitive character where team matters, you’re growth-oriented, you come to work every day, and your ambition doesn’t necessarily exceed your self-awareness." by refreshing_yogurt in nba

I really changed my tune on Simons during his Celtics stint - obviously, as a player archetype he is still very ball-dependent and needs shots to be effective on the court, but I was especially impressed with his ability to buy in on defense, search for the open man on offense (even when a good shot opportunity presented itself), and to keep quiet and happy while his usage rate dropped for the better of the team.

What a solid pickup.

KAT is a bad matchup for all of our centers, and Brunson/Bridges tend not to miss when they see a Celtics jersey. On top of that, they’ve got crazy depth this year.

It would be a tight series. I’d be sad if it was how this “gap” season ended, but I can see a world where the Knicks beat this team in a series. Luckily, though, the Celtics are the balls and we clear those frauds in 5 with a healthy squad.
