Grandmother texts me after every game with her thoughts on the C’s. She meant Pacers, btw.

    Can we get a Substack with grandma’s takes instead of that one guy’s reposted Dick Lipe stats?

  2. LaserSh0w

    You really got Nana in your phone under her government name?

  3. WhiteChocolatey

    Mine does too. One of our best conversation starters.

    This is the hard hitting analysis I come to this sub for

  5. “A win is a win” Nana with the zoomer dialect, love to see it

  6. JoeyJoeJoeShabadooSr

    Huge fan of this correspondence

  7. Kid_Crayola

    Can we get Nana’s analysis after every W

  8. FakeBasketballGod

    Love the conversation, hate the “bench Marcus” take.

  9. very wholesome.

    my mom & dad (in their mid 80’s) have a group chat with wife and i for every game and their takes are very similar to your nana. “what a nice boy, good effort, i hope he’s not injured, etc”

    it’s very positive vibes which everyone needs sometimes.

  10. My grandmother used to do this too. My fave memories of her. Wish the C’s could have won last year for her, but I’m sure she would have loved this team too. “Go Mahcus”

    Cherish these moments and conversations with her 💚💚💚

  12. She calls at as she sees it. Disagree with her take on Smart but it’s really a fair assessment.

    Grandmas always go to bed at like 8pm max, scientific fact. You already know she forced herself to stay awake so she could text you this. Wholesome.

    downvoted cause y’all are smart haters. very sweet though a lot of people would wish to have something like this

  15. You only, only pull Smart from the starting lineup if he asks to come off the bench without any prompting. Other than that he starts at the point. Not just because of the chemistry issues if Smart gets benched, but because Smart at the point allows the Celtics to be their most versatile on both ends.

    Don’t forget the Celtics lost a number of games without Smart. He’s like a cheat code with his pocket passing and his ability to hold up defending 1 through 5. White has been playing great, but Smart’s incredibly valuable.

    Hell yeah grandma.

    I often text with my dad during games, last night he said we were “playing like punks” and “Derrick white is better than their point guard with the ugly shot”

    This is awesome man. My nana was a Saint but she would never have been able to figure out texting. I’m impressed. She had an old cellphone with her numbers on an index card taped to the back of the phone

    Man grandparents are the best! My grandma passed away 5 years ago and my grandpa is currently practically in vegetable state right now. This convo got me IDK why but just by that bit of text it shows lots of love. Love your family and cherish them.

    P.S “Patricia” come on now lol

  19. You’re grandma is cute….she single? 🤔

  20. Right-Relief4235

    “That pelican guy was amazing hitting threes every time.” Is she talking about Brandon Ingram?

  21. TBGusBus

    My grandmother does the same with the bruins

  22. grahampapa

    If anything White should start over Williams, the way he’s been playing lately ):

  23. ilikehamsteak

    Really love this. My gram died in 2021 and we used to have conversations like this. She was more a fan of the NBA then the Celtics so she had takes on everybody (she watched a whole lot of NBA TV) and this reminded me how cool it was to connect with her in this way. Thank you OP!

  24. wondertwintia

    This is treasure. Cherish these moments while you can.

  25. BringBackFatMac

    The pelican guy hitting the 3s was pretty amazing to watch tbf

  26. rambler13

    Starting Derek White over Smart is such a dumb idea. It will absolutely tank the team chemistry
