The problem with analytics vs eye test is that both sides only want to use what’s beneficial to their argument. Neither is the be all to explain why something happened. How does a player rank high in wins and plus minus but not be a high scorer? How does 25/9 not translate into wins? Both are good

Was bored so here’s wish list for season Organic offense Shots earlier in clock Increased swing swing swing 3s Decrease iso Ball/Body movement 30 assists a game Make everyone a threat to reduce hunting for a shot because haven’t touch ball in 4 or more possessions Ride hot hand no matter whos hot

Is the Celtics' offseason being misunderstood? In this episode: • Why Paul George isn’t just a “downgrade” • The truth about Payton Pritchard’s role • Who actually sets the team’s ceiling I'm joined by John Karalis to discuss it all

The purgatory of nba radio on SiriusXM is a grind. During season you get 3 different programs each with their select pros and cons. For me one is favorable, unfavorable, and last more neutral. Now it’s 2/3 and shows repeat throughout the day. 90 more days to normalcy restored.

For the upcoming season what do you prioritize for the Celtics? Wins Wins over rival Favorite player has incredible year Favorite has better year than rival Favorite player outduels rival statistically in head to head matchup No wrong answers just want to see what I am dealing with. Mindset

How much money do the market make after a particular event finally completes? Like the LeBron one. Every day generates a new “favorite” and money pours in its not like old tickets torn up and new ones generated. The book always makes money especially when tickets distributed relatively evenly

What are the numbers when Derrick and Jordan on floor together. Their skill sets mesh well Jordan on ball Derrick freelancing More disruptive plays (blocks steals deflections) Game versus Detroit they forced late turnover on Cade

How much does the NBA change over in 5 years????? None of the 30 NBA teams have more than 4 players left from the 2021-22 rosters Only 12 teams have more than ONE player left. And only six coaches from 2021-22 too (Carlisle, Spoelstra, Finch, Daigneault, Kerr, Lue)

Reminder that Summer League is development. Players trying stuff. Some work and some don’t. Avoid temptation to label quickly good or bad. Applies to officials as well Lot of screen calls as younger inexperienced refs fall for “result” of falling down so screen was illegal or head snaps means foul.

- CBA definitely a factor. We have to adjust our thinking. Team building is different now - Brad clearly misplayed his hand, but there has to be more behind a desperate dump of an All-NBA player - We sure JB is going to work in Philly?
