2024-25 NBA running thread

Banner goes up in the Garden tonight.

 

I've probably told this story before, but now it has a hook, thanks, Han. When the Celtics moved to the new Garden, new banners were installed in the rafters and the old ones were put in an enormous and elaborate under-glass wall hanging in the practice facility. The ones from the Bill Russell era were all green and dark yellow from the stains of decades of thousands and thousands of smoked cigarettes. I'd look at it think, "my God I used to work in that air!"

 

I watched about 2 possessions of the NYK-BOS game.
Can we get the coaches back to dressing like grownups and out of the warmup pants and pullovers?

 

Tibs looks like he just got of bed and ate a hearty breakfast.

 

Bring back Larry Brown's overalls!

 

Celtics picking up right where they left off. When the threes are falling, they're a juggernaut.

 

Those. Wimp’s plaid. Anything is better than this.

 

They’re 24-41 from the 3 with 4 minutes left in the 3rd.
That’s obscene.

 

The ghost of Dr. Jack agrees.

 

JJ > Ham; Lakers have already shown more offensive set plays in 8 minutes than last year’s team would show in 8 quarters.

 

what a moment
