Game 2 preview: How to watch Celtics-76ers on Tuesday - The Boston Globe The Celtics have a mostly clean bill of health entering Game 2, and it looks like Philly's Joel Embiid is still sidelined.

Reminder that Celtics-Sixers Game 2 is on Peacock and NBC Sports Network. That *is not* the same as NBC Sports Boston, which no longer has first-round games. NBCSN is available on Xfinity and YouTube TV. Good luck out there in the Streaming Jungle of Greed. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/21/s...

A milkshake in a microwave. There must have been piles of cocaine at that marketing meeting.

People talking about AI like this reminds me of when microwaves started to become a thing, and too many people thought they could make a five-course meal in a filthy Kenmore.

I just want to say that the New York Mets are now 47-70 since playing "Kokomo" on the day Brian Wilson died last June. The curse no one is talking about.

Tl; dr: Ace the basics. Submit clean copy; hit deadlines; make your word count. Say please and thank you. Don't be a knob.

Yeah, I blew the timing. Life got in the way. So I worked over the weekend, because it was on me, not the editor.

I heard a veteran freelance writer on a podcast tell listeners not to care about deadlines and I cannot think of a worst piece of advice. Making an editor's job harder is not a good career move.

I filed all the stories. I wrote 4,000 words in a week on top of my daily copy editing gig. Still beats working for a living.

Just great. Also, once upon a time, one of the nation's great sports departments—Whitlock, excepted, of course.

The copy-editing and fact-checking did me in. Damn, sometimes I wish I cared less.

From Hang Time to Prime Time Perfect for fans of Moneyball and The Book of Basketball, this vivid, thoroughly entertaining, and well-researched book explores the NBA’s surge in...

A friendly reminder that if your team is out of the NBA playoffs and you're bored stupid, my book, FROM HANG TIME TO PRIME TIME, is a great way to tide yourself over until next year.

People are saying that it's the best basketball book I've ever written.

Whenever someone who doesn’t watch the NBA asks me about Wemby, all I can say is that he does at least 2-3 things every game that I’ve never seen anyone do before at his size

This reminds me of the time a dear friend of mine, followed by his housemate, removed a meat thermometer from the Thanksgiving turkey with their bare hands.

Fandom is a powerful deceiver, especially when you're a kid.
