I love your intro rap song so much! 🎵🎶
I personally would much rather face philly then cleveland. Sweep vs philly 🥱
Derrick White has really stepped up his game lately!
Hopeful with Giannis out for a few games, we might take a higher lead against them. Not too worried
Brogdon (one of my faves) going up against his previous team in Thurs game. Will be fun to watch.
Giannis is hurt. Better chance of getting #1 for C's
Tom = Labor Rights = Sports & Justice = Excellent Show!!
Your my "Bob Ryan" John ur #1
I hate it when any player gets injured, but I'd be lying if I said Giannis' wrist injury isn't karma, since he's the one who caused JT's injury to his wrist in their playoff series last year at the rim when he tried to block JT's shot AFTER it went down – that I feel was a Flagrant 1 that wasn't called by the way. JT has played with that injured wrist since last May, and is rumored to be getting surgery in the off-season. That's karma if you ask me…
I am fully biased. I believe that a healthy Cs team is the key to everything. And it’s kind of hard for me to take Philly seriously lol . A 1 seed would be great but, I’ll take the health going into the playoffs
Duck boat reference!! Let’s do it C’s! Heading to Indy this afternoon, I don’t know why the Pacers play us tough, but I want to see a dominant performance tonight
I agree with your analysis that not closing out The Bucks and Heat earlier possibly cost them in the Finals. A very real comparison is in 2010 when they were an older team, when they had a 3-0 against the Magic, and couldn't sweep them and instead had to go 6. IMHO, that cost them against the Lakers having to go 7 and lose when they ran out of gas.
we are healthy and Joe actually calls timeouts and coaches we will be fine
I sat right in front of Bob Ryan at Fenway. I look behind me and he's sitting in the shit seats taking notes lol. I asked him to sign my ticket stub and he did
Bob Ryan answered one of my emails about 19 years ago–I know exactly what you mean.
Have you been to Kowloon, John?
Tatum's demeanor in that ASG press conference—I hadn't stopped and really WATCHED him much this year doing that. HE IS DIFFERENT. You can see it in his eye, hear it in his voice. The man absolutely BELIEVES he is as good or better than anyone else on the planet, and is on a mission.
If Grant's arms were 2+" longer, he'd be worth $20M.
Hah, you guys are stupid. If I was Brad I would sign LeBron, AD, Michael Jordan and Bill Russel. That's how they win. If they don't do that I will complain to local media. WAIT! Larry Bird IS walking through that door! If they don't do that they SUCK.
Ah, Boston. I'm so glad Iive in Southern CA now and can easily avoid that nonsense. As bad a name as Bostonions have regarding that, it really IS a vocal minority. Most of us, especially folks we have here, have a level head and a real knowledge of the game. Not just players, but the business behind the game.
I think Tom Westerholm put it best when he said, “Like the Celtics, like, are a good team, like, and I think, like, they have, like, a like, really good, like, chance this year, like.”
Loved this one exceedingly more than your last podcast. : ) I agree that not ending the very physical Bucks and Heat series earlier cost them the NBA finals.
