The defensive scheme.

I thought it would take much longer for everyone to “get the new system” but it hasn’t. Testament to the willingness and talent of the players.

Pritchard is very playable in the playoffs with this defensive scheme. I am…flabbergasted, really.

The Bulls are complete ass.

Why is it impossible? Williams and Maye are good prospects. Jayden Daniels, Mike Penix, and Bo Nix are not as good but they are close.

The gap between MHJ and WR7 is massive.

Positional value 100% demands you take the best player available in the top 3 when the player is far and away the best as his position.

Jalen Hurts is a fantastic example. Thank you for mentioning it. Smith + Hurts is indisputably the better combo (WR1 + QB5).

There’s no argument for Williams/Maye +WR7 being better than MHJ + QB5.

MHJ is special in a way that doesn’t come along very often. Best football player available.

Yep. Which means Mac starts. The defense is good enough, has been good enough, to win games with a Competent QB.

Jones gives us the best chance to lose.

“Two hobos fighting over a half eaten hoagie.”

Haven’t thought of that Grandpa-ism in several decades. Thanks.

Your second paragraph is in direct opposition to the idea of tanking. “Way better” is dangerous to the goal.

That is why Mac will be back. He gives us the best chance to lose, and has since week 1.

Good lord, the entitlement of the kids Bill and Tom gifted with a blessed childhood is unbelievable.

And it’s made worse that they’re a Simpsons-style stupid mob, waving pitchforks and demanding “changes”.

This team isn’t even that bad!! They have been “in” multiple games, with a chance to win in the 4th quarter. In 1992, they lost almost every game before kickoff. MASSIVE difference. It can get much, much worse.

“At no point in my life”. JFC, the entitlement.

There was a great article posted yesterday about the Celtics defense, and switch matching. PP is featured heavily in many of the excellent videos.

This is a MUST read. Great stuff.

In the alternate universe where SF takes Jones and Lance falls to NE, both teams are better off today.

MHJ or best tackle available. Alt and Fash are probably going to play at a high level until the middle of next decade. (42-year old Jason Peters started yesterday. Great tackles can play a long time. And great tackles are rare!)

Sign a veteran, draft a QB in the second round, bring back Jones.

Rodman would be a GOD. Nephews would eat up The Worm’s act and ask for seconds.

Bruce Bowen would be the basketball-elitists favorite player. (I loved Bruce. Great glue guy.)

Mahorn is Draymond. Same dude. Bit shorter than Rick but same attitude. Both play “over the line” but are respectable because of their competitiveness.

Laimbeer would be loathed in any era, by anyone with any scruples or sense of fair play. Any soccer fans? He’s Pepe, from Real Madrid. Master of the dark arts.

They would have lost this game last season, and for the past four or five seasons.

Basketball is calculus, yeah? An explosion of possibilities that collapse into solvable equations on every possession. Jrue Holiday and Derrick White are constant. Reliable factors who never change. They make the math easy.

Most of the reason.

It’s on 98.5 and (presumably) the Pats app.

Torrey Craig and Drummond into the TPE for CHI’s 2024 second round pick that BOS owns would be my best offer, and CHI can probably do better than that.

The other guys get paid for a reason.

Celtics starters have the worst 4th quarter production in the League.

Theis makes too much money to return to the Celtics. Unless Al Horford OR four other bench guys are departing.

Love Theis. It can’t happen.
