BREAKING EPSTEIN NEWS: For the 83rd consecutive time, 60 minutes Australia puts our mainstream media to shame. They won’t let the Epstein files die. Neither will we.

They were up 3–1. They had Game 5 at home. And now the season is over. @jquig85 and @ilovewalta do a full #Celtics autopsy after one of the most brutal collapses in franchise history. 🎧 Listen now bit.ly/3P33m83

@casualtakeking @DrGuru_ No idea lol

The worst shooter here has to go. Who is it?

@MoggedByTatum If assume a boat load of draft capital as well for brown?

Would you guys be more for something like this over Giannis??

@MoggedByTatum Just a question of his health and buy in. We don't need him coming in demanding his brothers take up roster spots and that coaches get fired

Why Giannis in Boston WOULD work: Spacing discourse is broken and disgusting currently. It’s not about having 5 shooters standing still, it’s about forcing 2v1s and breaking the defense down/creating advantages. Giannis + Tatum does that at an elite level. ▫️ Giannis doesn’t need perfect spacing, he needs advantages. Put Tatum on the floor and you can’t load up the same way. You send help at Giannis, you’re giving Tatum space. You stay home on Tatum, Giannis has space and can get downhill. That’s what 5 on 5 basketball is. ▫️ Even with a non-shooting 5, you’re replacing “spacing” with vertical gravity. A lob threat keeps the weakside big occupied, which opens the lane the same way shooting does, it’s a pick your poison situation, stop or foul Giannis, or leave the lob threat wide open. It would not be clogged especially with Tatum/Pritchard on the court. ▫️ Now add PnR… Giannis/Tatum PnR is unguardable. Switch and Tatum gets the mismatch or Giannis seals. Drop and Tatum walks into his signature pull-up 3. Hedge or help and Giannis is rolling into a 4v3 with advantages. It is UNGUARDABLE ▫️ And if you really want to open it up, Giannis at the 5 in small-ball/closing lineups could be thrilling. Now you have 5-out with Giannis as ball handler, literally things you only see in 2k. He can also screen into a short roll and initiate. Surround Giannis with Tatum, Baylor, Pritchard, and White and that’s the most spacing you’d ever get on an NBA court. ▫️ Then you stagger it with stretch backup bigs (Garza) and keep the floor spaced at all times anyway. So the “no spacing” argument just dies in multiple lineup configurations. ▫️ Defensively is where it gets stupid and historical. White POA pressure, Tatum versatile enough to guard 1-5, Giannis as an on-ball or weak side protector, Queta or whoever else on the weak side. You’re getting that peak Brook Lopez/Giannis defensive tandem with even better POA defenders surrounding them, that genuinely has the makings for a historic defense. ▫️ Fit/spacing should be out of the question completely, it would be objectively game breaking. The only question is how would you stop them?

Letting Jayson Tatum play in game 7 would be malpractice. He’s overcompensating for his right achilles and therefore now has soreness in his left achilles. Do not let him touch the court.

@PolymarketHoops True

True or False: If Boston loses Game 7 on Saturday, that will be the LAST game of the Jays era. 😳🍿

@lockedupjb Softer then nervous pervis?

Vucevic is the softest Celtics center I have ever seen and I’ve watched Kristaps Porzingis play for my team

@Savageboston Yes this sucks

Maybe the worst Celtics effort I’ve seen in a long time. Looks like they don’t care. Horrible

@iinangelo The Celtics do too

The NBA wants this series to go to Game 7 BAD

@joelvmoran Celtics gotta get there first

Knicks are beating the Celtics next round btw. Their center depth is terrible. Derrick White can’t shoot. Role players are young and inexperienced. Knicks in 6.

@_FoxboroForever Absolutely

I’d take a low-risk flyer on Matt Milano for veteran LB depth on a cheap 1-year deal.

Going to be interesting to watch how the Celtics offense attacks with Tatum on the bench. Need a lift from Brown and Pritchard here.

@ShamsCharania @Adam_Mares Jesus

Major loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves lineup tonight: Guard Ayo Dosunmu is out in Game 6 against the Denver Nuggets due to a calf injury, sources tell ESPN.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Dred Scott case Plessy v. Ferguson and now today. The U.S. Supreme Court memorializes discriminatory policies into law, generation after generation. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is now constricted, empowering voter suppression of Black Americans. “Makes me sick how far we done fell”

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

@tylermilliken_ @TheAthletic What about his inability to play the fiekd?

Kristian Campbell’s struggles seemed to make a big impact on Craig Breslow’s view of the hitting department, per @TheAthletic: “Multiple people also singled out Campbell’s major league struggles as a source of Breslow’s frustration with the hitting department… there was a sense within the clubhouse that Breslow blamed Fatse for Campbell’s inability to live up to the projections.”
