Samo Reincarnated as Pompey's Elephants

I rescued a trapped bee today. That was my purpose for being here.

@atwell_rose @CLTchesscenter Keep going @atwell_rose. GM next...

The @CLTchesscenter says that I reached 2400 FIDE in my live rating. I have 4 IM norms, so this means I'm now an IM-elect. Thanks to them for consistently organizing these events, and thank you to my family, friends, coach, and everyone who has supported me along the way. ♟️😃

I played an FM in round 3 of my norm tournament. And I won! I messed up the opening though, and we reached a queenless middlegame where I was worse. Below he took Rxb7. This is a mistake after Rd2+ Bxd2 Rxd2+ Kg3 Rxa2 when I should be better with 2 minor pieces for the rook.

genuinely top 3 handles in the league

I am sorry, but if you can’t play in at least 80% of the games, you probably don’t deserve to win regular season awards. Only five NBA MVPs have gone to a player who played under 65 games. Malone won in a 50-game strike season. LeBron during a 66-game strike season. Giannis during 72-game COVID season. Cousy during a 72-game season. In NBA history, only Bill Walton would have been impacted by the 65-game rule.

@USA_Polling Gambling at 29% we are so cooked

@FasterPP @Palmierijoe13 Many fans believe this team is better than last year's, and we are the clear favorites to win the East.

@Samothecat @Palmierijoe13 what's the mainstream?

Celtics fans may be misevaluating this team just as badly as they misevaluated the team at the start of the season.

@Samothecat Yeah it seems like his lower body especially got bigger. The one thing I noticed first game was how big his ass was🤣🤣🤣easily effecting that stamina

@Samothecat This isn’t even a question. Like I get why but folks clicking 2026 are doing it off excitement alone and not rational thought. The East is ass right now. Doesn’t change the fact the 2025 Celtics (especially if healthy) shit on the 2026 Celtics

How high am I? Why did I just see Jaylen Brown in a commercial for a cop tv show with Donnie Wahlberg

@JrueLFG @Palmierijoe13 Yeah, I don't agree with that, to clarify 🤣

@Palmierijoe13 @Samothecat Those guys probably aren’t going to be effective in a playoff series.

@Palmierijoe13 I agree with every word you just said. This is not the mainstream view in the community right now IMO.

I don’t think people are overrating them. I think they 100 percent have a chance to win the east. The absolutely have just a good chance as anybody else that’s a fact. They have proved it all season. There on pace for 53 or so wins that’s a good basketball team and they have experience too championship experience. Tatum brown pp Hauser and pp white all championships experience most of them two times to the finals. That’s 5 out of 8 playoff players that have been to multiple finals. You can’t teach that.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

@Samothecat Yeah, I voted for the '25 team and right now it's not even really close. And I LOVE this team just as much as last year.

@jay_dubs92 No question

@Samothecat Joe is a top 3 coach currently.

In a matter of a few months, Celtics fans have gone from "we will win 25 games and have a chance at the first overall pick" to "we are better than last year's 64 win team, even though we lost Luke Kornet, Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday."

Well guess we have to lock it in: Celtics over Bricks this spring

@SwishStreet Speak it into existence

@Samothecat Celtics in 4 brother

The point of being a fan isn't to end up being correct 🗣️

@Samothecat Brad getting under the luxury tax is the biggest thing to happen. Allow us to reset that clock and build on this fun team in the future. Right now is just bonus that they’re playing so well
