Celtics/NBA 2023-2024 Regular Season

[EvilDead]

Visual proof that Jimmy Butler has no true friends.. Not ONE person took him aside and said. “Jimmy man, I love you brother, but we gotta talk….”

In all seriousness though, that’s gotta be distracting as hell for his teammates.. Imagine being at the line for a crucial free throw and looking over and seeing THAT. I don’t think I could keep a straight face.

Bruh, he looks like an emo kid circa 2009 lol. All that's missing is the eye liner. XDDDD

He literally walked in and said "I'm emo". It's giving 2004-2010 emo vibes

The eastern conference ain't a scene, it's a g-d arms race

Because toooooonight will be the niiiiight that I will fall for youuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[quietbruinfan]

I admire Jimmy. That kind of belief--even if it seems irrational--can get you a long way.

As for his emo look, it is just weird. He reminds me of ? of ? and the mysterians. It almost has me crying 96 Tears.

 

[DangleCity]

Smart, Gallinarini, Mustakas,Williams and Brogdan out - Proztingas, Holiday in


Absolute steal.

Carter is a Minnesota native and 2019 Syracuse graduate who has been with ESPN since August 2021. He has called a variety of sports there, including football, basketball, softball, and lacrosse.

They couldn't find a New Englander to fill Gorman's spot?

I at least thought Grande was going to get the gig. Hopefully he does well!

A Syracuse broadcasting degree and a little experience carries a lot of weight. He must be pretty smooth to replace Gorman. However, like you, I would have liked a New Englander.

Well, he did a good job with Toy Story Football last Sunday..............

Ownership wants Sean and Max to be the local broadcast voices if they make a long playoff run.

In 1967 when Channel 56 got the TV rights they elected to go non-objective with the announcers. Precious little video of this tandem survived.

Nooooo. That means Wallach doesn’t get the radio gig.

Not surprising unfortunately.

The suits today average half my age.....................

I said this in the Jack Edwards thread but you can't tell me Edwards wasn't influenced by this announcer, especially with sarcasm

 

[GatorMike]

I legitimately thought that was Grande's job to lose. Surprised they went in a different direction.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Grande look for a bigger stage at this point.

Wallach is not a professional caliber play-by-play guy.

Jon’s hit is sadly because he is Fred’s tool bag. He takes his crap daily. He also jumps as high a Fred wants him to this making a mockery of himself. No way the Celtic brand would want attached to them with a full time gig.

Brad loves Payton.

He's got an opportunity here this year. Go get it, PP!

All I saw was that Jaylen Brown put his shorts on backwards, but how did they look?

They looked good. Pritchard looked phenomenal. Crowd was electric. There was a guy on Philly named Smart and every time Gorman said his name I had to do a double take.


Off topic but not really. I am kinda disappointed that the Celtics didn't put out any statements condemning the terrorist attack in Israel but the Sixers did. Boston claims to stand for injustices but remain silent today. Mazzulla briefly spoke to the media pre-game and offered his prayers. But to my knowledge the Celtics organization has been silent.

 

[FrankerC]

I caught a bit of the game, deciding to give basketball a try this year. Have always been a highlights basketball fan. Porzingis looks like the legit big they needed. Pritchard looks energized. JB and JT will be their usual selves. I dont know much about Jrue Holiday, wasnt that noticeable. If the team can stay healthy, this could be the team this year. Porzingis, to me at least, definitely seems like he can be the guy to elevate JB and JT. (viewpoint of someone who knows nothing about basketball)

 

[quietbruinfan]

Three things about that game worry me: One they almost beat us without Embeiid and Harden or Harden's replacement. Two, Tatum had one of his trademark dumpster fire games, and three, Mazulla and his three pointers over everything philosophy still remains.

 

[CDJ]

The Celtics have some serious shooting

Miles Bridges remains a POS

So I heard a brief discussion about this on radio. Being the radio guy means you get to do all playoff rounds compared to TV. The way it was described it was as if Grande has no interest in the TV job.

Probs put them on with his left hand
