The Boston locker room cannot be a happy place. I bet Red Auerbach has come back from the dead to rip into the Celtics.

Damn you.

If they win, I’m going streaking.

Deuce doesn’t need a contract. Just a gentleman’s agreement over a scotch will suffice.

What kind of sense does that make?

Its been mentioned several times about Burks having a poor season. The shooting numbers don't lie, career worst shooting percentages away from the stripe. Edit: I don't expect much more than 18-20 minutes of decent shooting out of him, particularly at the arc, but it ain't happening. Not even close. I'm not sure he's tradable.

IF Cunningham were to be traded by a new GM in order to get this franchise on the right track, Gores has to fall on that sword.

I think after peeling back the stench of the losing streak, you can see his game has been developing this season. This game in particular was a significant data point.

"A" for effort. But brown sugar & cinnamon pop tarts are the correcter call.

The geography department must be proud.

The passing in general has been ugly. I didn’t watch this game, but there have been plenty of questionable decisions this season and certainly lately. It is bad pick up game level awful at times.

I’m sure Pop was as polite to the ball boy as he wanted the home crowd to be to Kawhi Leonard.

I think for Manning it’s more that he hasn’t pitched 100 innings in a season since 2019. That gradual buildup of adding 20-30 innings per season as a developing pitcher has been interrupted. It’s more that than the injuries last season, although the injuries do factor into the interruption. The other thing is, he might not be good enough to crack a 5 man rotation come Opening Day. His traditionals last season are a bit of a mirage.

What will be interesting will be some of the teams in talent rich areas that aren’t necessarily considered football powerhouses. Central Florida or SMU, as examples. Do they jump above North Carolina State, Wake Forest, Syracuse? What about Oregon State and Washington State? And here’s another thing teams will have to come to grips with. Once they tier off the bigs from the littles, nobody is going to want to see the bigs playing the littles. And how will the SEC schools legitimize scheduling the FCS cupcake week when there is a level of competition in between themselves and the teams that they are scheduling?

It was absolutely atrocious. The home scoreboard showed 3 runs for the opposition before the game started last season.

Maybe Gores can take the seat of the defensive wizard coach that is missing.

Just wait it out until the whole thing breaks apart in a few years.

Yeah, you might be right. There don’t seem to be many bullpen options in your probable 8 that are likely to see time in Toledo. I still think there’s a trade that moves some pitching at some point before Opening Day. The Soto trade hasn’t worked out as hoped. I’m not comfortable with Lange’s BB9, not sure if/when that’ll improve. I can see closer by committee even though I think most don’t like it. Or maybe Foley as closer. Whatever, I think they can figure something out without Lange.

Maybe there’ll be a mid season charity tournament soon.

The call was to move down to get Mobley and other assets, but here we are.

Yeah, I think he’s going to need a lights out camp to head north.

Well, and I guess the other thing with the split starts is, how long will that last? At some point attrition will hit. Will that split start split up out of necessity? Will the timing of it be fortunate enough that either/both of those pitchers be ready to go 5 or longer?

Or go FS for failed starters?

Logan refused to lead off. Maybin took it one step further. Or is it one step backwardser?
