During my podcast run I ran into Bill Simmons confessing that this is the easiest path to the championship for the #Celtics and if it’s yet another disappointing playoffs then they should blow it up.
Am I the only one who thinks watching Chet Holmgren is like watching Abraham Lincoln running up and down the court? #Celtics up 13, second quarter. #Thunder#NBA@nba
Just about #Nuggets time (on the computer) with football on the big screen. Important for #Denver not to have a letdown after the big win over the #Celtics. A loss today would be like a sloppy double bogey one hole after making a birdie. #NBA@nba
Defense wins championships, and it also breaks long winning streaks. The #Nuggets stopped the #Celtics several times in the last 30 seconds to pull out the win, 102-100, #Boston’s first home loss of the season.
On offense, it was a lot of PB&J — Murray with 35 points, eight rebounds and five assists; Jokic with 34-12-9 for the Sombor Double.
Next up for the Nuggets — at Washington on Sunday. #NBA@nba
One-point game after three quarters. Jokic has 30-9-9; Murray has 24-5-4. Need Aaron Gordon to get going, too — just one point so far. #Celtics 82, #Nuggets 81. #NBA@nba
Late start for me with the #Nuggets tonight, but they’re hanging in there. Jokic (26) and Murray (24) are leading the way. Nuggets 69, #Celtics 68, third quarter. #NBA@nba
As I move instances today, I figure it's time for another #Introduction. I am the only Orthodox #Jewish#transgender#film critic that I know of. That said, I do cover #TV to some extent. I am a member of various awards-voting critics groups.
In addition to my love of #movies, I am also a #baseball fan and write about baseball at Dugout Dirt (which will remain on #Substack until my #Buttondown newsletter brings in enough paid subscription revenue to justify a move). The #StLCards are my favorite baseball team and when it comes to college #sports, it's all about the #KentuckyWildcats aka #BBN. I root for the #Boston#Celtics when it comes to the #NBA even as many ex-Cats are playing throughout the league.
Another thing: I am very vocal when it comes to speaking out against #antisemitism no matter where it comes from.
rememeber that time Doris Burke actually read names out of a phone book? her voice is so dreamy and soothing. still can't believe she used to be a coach.
i still cannot believe Steven A, Kendrick Perkins and what's his name have careers as sports commentators.
what is it with annoying men failing upwards.
btw: Kendrik Perkins reminds of my Tití's boyfriend. he was like a Puerto Rican fun-sized Barry White. i can still smell the jerry curl and goldbond powder.
Quality win by Minnesota #Timberwolves tonight over the Miami Heat! Huge rebound by Karl Anthony Towns passing it in directly to an alleyoop was the play of the 4th quarter.
#Minnesota#Timberwolves at the top of the #NBA Western Conference by two games and the #Boston#Celtics at the top of the Eastern Conference by 1.5, each with 15 wins and 4 losses.
I will entirely forgive the #Celtics "deserving" to lose the last two games (and splitting the difference going 1-1) but if they take their A-game to the most recent NBA champion from the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee #Bucks tomorrow night.
I was right. I hate being right. The #Celtics lost to the #Hornets in overtime.
The one thing i liked that Mazzulla did was when the Pritchard and Kornet bench unit struggled despite making the right moves offensively, he called a time out, and kept the same group out there— and they turned it around and got us a comfortable lead for a little while, and the under-utilized bench had a plus for the night. While Porzingis and Brown were huge negatives on the night. And instead of keeping the bench unit going or going deeper and giving JD Davison a chance to shine, the visibly tired starters were brought back in, too early and… welp, lead given up, and then fell short in overtime.
