Celtics/NBA 2024-2025 Part 2: Mavs & Lakers Blockbuster Stuns NBA

[McGarnagle]

No debut tonight for recently signed Torrey Craig

Glad to see you back on the board, my friend

Luka might be fat and not at all interested in playing defense, but at least he can stay on the court.

Did he get punched in the jewels there? Couldn't see anything from the angle, but sure seems like he was hurting there. He came back and played and Mavs looked great today

Celtics on ABC in 30 minutes. Playing the Knicks. Let’s see how insufferable these commentators are.

If Brad Stevens were to bail it would be a very, very, very bad sign for what we should all expect from the new owners.

Idk I get the feeling there’s very few places he’d leave for but IU would be one no matter what the situation was

I'd be shocked.

Williams failed his physical

Isn't Luka currently not on court? But I'll give it to these Euro bod guys like Jokic and Doncic. Maybe they're on to something with their local YMCA physique.

Mark Jones is absolutely terrible

Lame verbiage/jokes nonstop. Sorta like Drew Carter!

NBA squashed that trade

Such a waste b/c Doris Burke and Al Jefferson are excellent.

Just an excellent game all around and without Holiday and the late scratch of KP.
Tatum was fire and so was Pritchard. Also love how Sam Hauser played.

I’m dying to know what else the found aside from what was already known. They don’t usually rescind trades.

He has actually gotten better in recent years because he stopped using as many lame puzzling half-street expressions like "Put some muscle in his hustle" etc. i have had very unkind things to say on this very board. y/ou can look em up if you wish.

 

[Smitty93]

I'd be shocked.

I think a major part of this is if he didn't take the job in 2021, why would he be more likely to now? He's got a much cushier job as president than coach, and college is much less attractive now with NIL.

None of us can measure his desire to coach. I think that's what's being missed here. With new ownership coming in I could see him at least thinking about coaching again. But who knows, he might be completely over wanting to coach and committed to the NBA executive life. He's been great as an executive though.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Hard to say what Stevens will do It depends whether ownership is willing to stay above the first apron, i think. Though he could just want to coach again. My impression is he is pretty happy.

However, make no mistake,the next owner will be dumping Holiday and very possibly one other serious contributor.

Great game ! Intensity on Defense was awesome !
