@HARPER04_5 @celtics @76ers Down 1. Got a stop and Queta was on a rim run wide open in the paint all alone. Would have been an easy catch and dunk. Go up 1, place goes bananas and Philly probably takes a TO.
Nope, Pritchard misses WIDE OPEN corner 3.

@stoolpresidente Kevin Garnett is not walking thru that door fans. Paul Pierce is not walking thru that door, Rajon Rondo is not walking thru that door…and if you expect them to walk thru that door, they are going to be grey and old.

‘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.

Happy Jacket Day to all observants.
26 years ago, March 5, 2000, Richie Aprile offered Tony Soprano a Corinthian leather jacket once belonging to Rocco DiMeo, whose reputation in Essex County bordered on urban legend. The gesture was meant as tribute, reconciliation, and intimidation all at once, and Tony filed it under “Lost & Found”.

@kurt13warner Kurt, do you know who Billy Hoyle is?
Because I think he was talking about you in White Men Can’t Jump “You'd rather look good and lose, than look bad and win."

Starting the tape from yesterday’s games & you NEVER apologize or give back SB appearances bc they are hard to come by… BUT I can’t remember a rougher offensive performance leading to a SB birth than what the Patriots had yesterday!
Even before any weather rolled in it was pretty ugly!!
A couple runs by Maye & 1 good flea-flicker throw to Hollins was about all they really did!

"My name's Harvey. I'm 68. I work the night shift at TravelCenter truck stop on I-40. Pump diesel, ring up snacks, clean showers. Same blue vest for thirteen years. Truckers fuel up, grab coffee, hit the road. Most are gone in fifteen minutes.
But I see who stays parked.
Like the trucker who'd been sitting in his rig for three days. Engine off. Never came inside except for bathroom. No food, no shower, just sitting.
Fourth morning, I knocked on his cab. "You okay, buddy?"
He rolled down the window. Looked exhausted. "Broke down. Waiting on parts. Can't afford to eat and fix the truck both. Truck wins."
"When'd you eat last?"
"Tuesday."
It was Friday.
I went inside, made him a hot dog, brought chips and coffee. "Store policy. Can't sell day-old stuff."
It wasn't day-old. But he was starving.
He cried eating that hot dog.
Started noticing others. The female trucker sleeping in her cab because shower credits cost too much. The rookie driver rationing gas station food because rookie pay barely covers fuel. Truckers choosing between eating and making deliveries on time.
I began keeping food. "Expired" items still perfectly good. When truckers looked desperate, I'd "find" extras they could have.
Word spread on the CB radio. "Harvey at the I-40 TravelCenter helps drivers."
Then something unexpected. A trucker I'd fed years ago made it big, started his own company. Came back, left $1,000. "For drivers who are where I was."
Now our TravelCenter has a "Trucker Relief Fund." Other truck stops copied it. Fifty-three stops across nine states.
I'm 68. I scan Slim Jims and pump diesel fuel at a highway truck stop.
But I learned, truckers deliver everything we need to survive. And they're often starving, broke, sleeping in their cabs because one breakdown destroys them financially.
Watch your lot. Someone's been parked three days without moving. Someone's choosing between fuel and food.
Find the expired snacks. Offer the shower credit. Sometimes a $4 hot dog is what keeps a trucker from giving up on a road that already gave up on them."

The top college coaches explaining what they look for in recruits.
"What I look for is just winning qualities, competitiveness...be coachable." - Dan Hurley
"How hard they play." - Shaheen Halloway
Not one coach is talking about scoring.

@HornetsReddit He’s more Mitch Richmond or Devin Booker than Chris Mullin
English

🎙️ Steve Kerr on Kon Knueppel: "I see a lot of Chris Mullin."
"Really good size on the wing, big strong body, catch-and-shoot, but also incredible IQ, passing, making the right play over and over again. He's already a really, really damn good player."

@wingoz Brady made a UDFA college lacrosse player his WR2 and a 2X Super Bowl Champion. Let me know the guys name Mahomes picked up off the street and did that with. I’ll hang up and listen…
English

Really? He’s 3-2 in In his 1st 5 Super Bowls as was Brady. The difference? Mahomes went to 5 in 7 seasons as a starter. It took Brady 11 seasons as a full time starter to get to 5. These pesky things called facts….🤷🏻♂️

@wingoz Lmao Kermit is nowhere near Brady

@JonScheyerMuse 96-00 I was a manger at UK. We had scholarship guys that couldn’t even get on the court because there were so many NBA guys coming back for fall runs.

@paulspacey I was wrong, very last clip shows a pass by a teammate that is completed to the footwork phenom. Prior to that, every “completed” pass was cut half a sec? full sec? short to see if the pass resulted to a teammate or was a turnover? Savy editing tactic by you, but not fooling me.
English

@kmurph77 You didn’t see a completed pass? Either you have bad eyesight, you’ve never kicked a ball in your life or both. Which is it?
