I wish you good luck in that, but I fear there's a ton of airlines other than Lufthansa flying to Europe, and a ton of other travel methods, once you are at some point in Europe, to your end destination.

It's not the US where it is flying or bust.

I don't think his knees are THAT bad. He can just walk to his seat.

Yeahhhhhhh. I wonder if the NBA has the balls to suspend LaMelo for the next game, as he should be.

Diablo 3's playable characters were not user created, they were distinct characters we got to play as, and gear, even if we did get to give them a name. There was zero customization otherwise.

So I think they count.

And if so, I have thousands of hours on the female Witch Doctor. Absolutely her.

I have another one, two words:

Bernard Pollard.

How many snaps would a speed rusher who lacks against the run play though? Is that worth a first rounder?

Feels like if you can get a speed rusher for obvious passing downs later, that that would be a much better allocation of draft resources.

The Maine Celtics 100% wanted it more.

Thinking of @dangercart.bsky.social who is at this game with his child. What an absolute fantastic experience for a game 82!

Have a shrewd suspicion he's got something lined up elsewhere. On a streamer perhaps. He's too good, and good play by play announcers are rare.

I will be seated for the Magic game, from tip off to final whistle.

Bring on the Stay Ready™ group.

You'd also ruin your ability for your one mock draft every year. I always look forward to that one. Very important barometer in the mock draft landscape.

Have a feeling he'll rest tomorrow, and JB will be back in his place and play extended minutes.

he on that Ent water though

(IYKYK)

I very very rarely properly eat during games, basketball or football. Stomach just does not agree with food and nerves at the same time. I either eat before or after.

Victory food is clutch though, ngl

I love this team. Quickly rising up my board of favorite Celtics teams in the Jays era.

This is why you are the best. Clipping this and explaining it concisely. Going to look for this in games in the playoffs.

From your article earlier, about Garza. It's the Garza effect. He does those all the time I feel.

Pound for pound probably the strongest NBA player ever. Seeing highlights of him, and just looking at his legs etc, that dude was jacked.

So you are saying he's full of shit? That tracks.

@ramblinwreck34.bsky.social wondered the same a couple games ago, and I wondered about it when SGA got called twice against the Pistons.

Seems like there may have been a call to the Refs to watch this more carefully.

he is risen (shrek)

Yeah, and part of that is what killed us last season. We didn't have that extra creator off the bench, cause PP wasn't very effective trying to initiate offense against some of the more physical defense we faced against Magic and Knicks.

But he's VERY much changed that this season.

I think it will be match up dependent too. He's going to have to be relentless and aggressive every moment he's out there. Can't settle.

If he's not the scoring punch off the bench that other teams need to plan around, there's not enough other things he can bring to make up for it.

wtf even is this "production value". Is it counting stats? analytical numbers? On/Off numbers?

I hate posts like this cause they are so obviously bunk and people will discuss them like they are actual worthwhile discussion points, without even knowing the method to it.

Jaylen carried us this year.

I had that passing thought this morning when I saw the news about SGA being called for 2 offensive fouls.

It would be very typical for the NBA to do this right on the doorstep of the playoffs instead of doing it early in the season so players can adjust.

He's not an American Gator though, he's a French one.

Can't win a game 7 without losing 3 games first, kinda thing.

Need SOMETHING. And please no iso. Something with ball and player movement.

It's easier to stop turning it over than it is to suddenly get better at rebounding.

Was asked by @stephnoh.bsky.social who is not on the Celtics beat. Just a general writer for Sporting News, former Bulls beat writer.

LOVED the answer though. lmao
