It’s one of those games where fuck the Celtics is more important than standings.

+1
Boston. Red Sox. Patriots. Celtics. Bruins. Screw them all.

I long for Robinson, KP, and Frank to be on the court at the same time.

+1 to that too but I need to see Frank step up his offensive game.

This game was about Trae. He was G-league last season. He willed the win. That is a rare quality.

Knox played better but looks, at times, like he doesn’t know where he needs to be on the floor. He also didn’t hustle back on defense a couple of times leading to Celtic fast break points. But this was his 12th NBA game and he’s 19. I’ll judge him after 120 games.

I am excited because the team is on pace to get one of the elite draft picks, signing an all-star free agent and getting Porzingis back. The feeling is like the one I had with the Yankees when they were just giving Judge and Sanchez a sip of coffee in the bigs. Granted, the Yankees were not devoid of talent and were better than the Knicks are now, but the feeling is the same. I can see where this is heading. Clearing up some of the mistakes, improving in little ways as they mature, there should be hope for some of these youngsters. There’s a core of young players that are all like freshmen and sophomores in college. Let’s see judge them when they would be college seniors. I’m simply hopeful that some step up their game before the end of the season and establish themselves.

Owen — you buried the lead in that story about Irving’s mother. His father is named DRed??

The story of Kyrie’s mother is kind of crazy….

Kyrie’s part Native American through his mother apparently, which may or may not explain why he doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving. Either way, hilarious anecdote.

Trey looked very Kemba-esque tonight. And Vonlah was really, really good as well. Loved the two threes from Knox in the fourth- both quick release catch and shoots. If he can just do that, get out on the break a bit and hit the boards he’ll be a useful player. And holy cow, Mitch made so many multiple effort plays- forcing the driver to pass and then still challenging the shot- just fantastic.

The Memphis Grizzlies are 12-5 and in 1st place in the Western Conference.

Who saw that coming?

After someone told him Happy Thanksgiving, Kyrie Irving left the locker room saying he doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving.

“Fuck Thanksgiving.”

Can’t expect a flat earther to celebrate people sailing over the horizon!

I can’t wait for Kyrie to leave the Celtics high and dry, for the Kings to sneak into the playoffs so Boston doesn’t steal another high lotto pick, and for Danny Ainge to look like a loser.

Mitchell kinda single handedly made the Celtics forget about going to the paint, the impact of his and Ntilikina’s defense was amazing.

And when they tried to go small in the second Vonleh did a great job punishing them at the rim.
