HONEST RESPECTED CEO

@rileysbetter Tobias Harris ain’t walking through that door

last time JT played Philly in a game 7…

@SherwoodStrauss Advanced stats somehow say he’s amazing at defense though

With respect, this is the argument I don’t get with Jokic. His basic, traditional stats are amazing and unprecedented. No scientist came up with something like VORPper48 to trick everybody. He just puts up insane numbers, but can struggle on D and sometimes with his 3

@DragonflyJonez Also not the greatest offensive player ever if your defense is so bad that the rest of the team has to be built to cover for it and sacrifice other good offensive players.

Never bought the “greatest offensive player ever” hype for that guy. We’ve seen the true greatest offensive player ever elevate way worse rosters and go on a Finals run with George Hill as his #2. It’s time we put that propaganda to bed.

@CelticsAdam34 Not a surprising response given that he acts completely baffled every time he gets called for a full arm extension push on a defender.

Maybe take accountability and stop elbowing people in the gut. That would be a good start 👍

@steeder10 They’ve never had a real playmaker in this era. I think that’s why they’ve bogged down in so many playoff series where they were favored and more talented.

‘Celtic ball’ has returned- walking the ball up the floor, no ball reversals, very few paint touches, middy % way up, extended scoring droughts. Jrue was CRITICAL to the Celtics - one of the best connectors in the NBA history. Why did Portland flip the script this season? Why did both the Bucks and Celtics finally climb the mountain? Elite composure and leadership, ball finds the right people, can be a scorer when needed and consistent winning plays on the defensive end. Every elite team has CONNECTORS: Iguodala, Jrue, Caruso, Dort, KCP, Aaron Gordon, Shane Battier, etc. Celtics are missing that piece badly right now.

@cthoops2 @CryBabyAudit Their backcourt looks amazing and Ngongba is excellent. The rest of the frontcourt has a lot of questions to answer. I don’t even see how this team is more talented than the Flagg team.

@CryBabyAudit brother I’m not gonna hate but yall said this last year. And the year before. And plenty of years before that. Cooper Flagg, cam boozer, Paolo, man yall have had the best team on paper plenty of times. I’ll believe it when I see it. But right now I can’t take duke fans seriously

This actually isn’t fair. If Duke doesn’t win the natty next season I’ll take all the shit talk…. because there is no excuse.

@TheMagaHulk That’s the book ending but it wouldn’t have worked at all in the movie

Your end was scrapped because test audiences hated it. The retarded monsters that eat everyone are the bad guys. And Neville is the good guy who saved humanity. Now he finds peace and gets to be with his wife, his son, and his German Shepherd that the monsters murdered.

@poorlyreasoned Also some people may not want to vote for a nazi

“Vote blue no matter who” very much does not cut both ways. It’s important to understand why. If Dems move too far to the left, moderates eventually will find that Republicans are closer to their own views. That will never be true—conceptually cannot be true—for leftists.

@NateDuncanNBA First time he’s been healthy in the playoffs since then

This is the highest workrate I've seen from Embiid since like.......2019 maybe?

@darrenrichman Seems like things are pretty bad over there, stay safe

I cannot believe the stuff routinely being RTd onto my timeline by people I thought I knew. Genuinely horrifying, not sure how much longer I can stay here

@Will_Rucker3_AD It's weird that he has barely played at all in this series. Top priority def has to be eliminating the Drummond / Vuc or Garza minutes.

@eastern0414 I’m not opposed to that either. I never thought he should’ve been removed from the lineup when it happened.

Start Grimes for Oubre. Play Oubre off the bench to spell Grimes and VJ. Play Barlow off bench when Embiid is out if Celtics go to Vucevic/Garza. Only play Drummond off bench if his minutes are matched with Queta.

@Domo8186 This is not a good way to measure. The Spurs got Wemby and Duncan by getting the #1 pick. Cavs got LeBron. It's not just number of times moving up or down that is important.

@Sam_Vecenie Why is Evans so low? Seems like a 6-6 wing who can really shoot should be prized.

@KyleBrandt @TheRewatchables @ringer @Spotify I have a proposal for unanswerable. When Pamela Reed first sees the ferret, it emerges from Arnold's open duffel bag in the backseat of the car. And when he gets overwhelmed in class, it's also in his car. Is Kimble toting the ferret around in a duffel bag everywhere he goes?

“Hooo’s ya daddy, and what does he do?” Bill and I do Kindergarten Cop (1990) on @TheRewatchables and I remain #TeamCrisp open.spotify.com/episode/4Dvogm…

@NateDuncanNBA @DannyLeroux Regarding tanking, see the merit payments in this premier league table, where teams get money for each place they finish higher in the table. Do you think this would be an effective way to limit tanking? At minimum it would dissuade the Blazers.

@StoolGreenie I’m a Sixers fan and this is incredibly overdramatic. Just means the Celtics will win in six instead of five, hardly the biggest fourth quarter of their season. Game three was much more important.

In the biggest 4th quarter of their season the Celtics are 3-16 from the floor

@Sean_Barnard1 Nobody rebounded and nobody made any shots. When that happens these games get out of hand fast, just like game one.

Tyrese Maxey leads the NBA in FGA per game in the playoff Maxey’s lack of aggressiveness should be the headline for why the Sixers weren’t good enough yesterday. I don’t want to hear it is Embiid’s fault when Maxey touches the ball every possession. Sixers need him to be a star

@IhabHassane Hamas and PA leaders are worth billions of dollars, all stolen from international aid. Why don’t they pay the teachers salaries?

Israel is deliberately pushing the Palestinian Authority toward collapse. This month, the Palestinian Authority paid its employees only $600 toward their January salaries (it is currently three months behind on payments). Doctors, teachers, security personnel, and civil servants all received the same flat payment, regardless of their actual salary. The EU refused to release €300 million in aid to the PA, telling Palestinian officials they should seek funding from Arab countries instead. Meanwhile, Israel continues to withhold over $5 billion in Palestinian tax revenues — money Israel collects on the PA's behalf under signed agreements and simply refuses to transfer. This is not a dispute. It is economic strangulation. Since October 7, more than 200,000 Palestinian workers have lost access to jobs inside Israel. That income was a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of West Bank families. It is gone. The West Bank economy is in freefall. I have heard the stories firsthand — families who cannot afford food, people who had stable lives two years ago and have nothing today. The situation has deteriorated every single month for the past 3 years, with no floor in sight. None of this is accidental. Withholding tax revenues, blocking workers, leaving the PA unable to pay salaries — this is a policy. The goal is to make Palestinian civil governance impossible, to deepen dependency, and to accelerate the conditions for a broader takeover of the West Bank. The collapse of the PA would not be a consequence of Israeli policy. It would be its achievement.

@NekiasNBA Do you think the Celtics are good? I’ve been quite unimpressed watching them against this mediocre Sixers team.

My other parting gift is the Sixers scored 13 points on 7 PG-Drummond PnRs bc surely we all had *that* on the bingo card lol
