Cool B. Man, are the Celtics gonna be okay?

Yeah I think they'll be fine, they'll probably end up the third seed as expected but it won't be all that pretty getting there. Last I checked they were 28th in rebounding and six foot two Avery Bradley is still leading the team in rebounds so I think the biggest problem they have is pretty clear. I still think they're doing better than their talent dictates and Isaiah is going wild so that's enough for me to be happy for the time being

I'd like to see that usage a bit higher for a guy who isn't contributing much on defense or creating plays for others. But Austin Rivers is legit decent with some room to grow. Go Figure!

Life, friends, is boring

quote:

Prior to a Monday-night victory over the Brooklyn Nets, Popovich was explaining to reporters why he was sitting several players, including star forward Kawhi Leonard.

It appears Popovich was giving Leonard the night off, knowing the Spurs could beat the lowly Nets, even without their best player.

However, when Popovich told reporters that Leonard had an injury that would heal quickly, he then corrected himself, jabbing Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway's now-infamous "alternative facts" quote.

"Kawhi [Leonard] is out with an injury that’s not really an injury, but hopefully it will heal quickly," Popovich said. "That’s a figurative statement. It sounds like some of the things that are going on politically in the world. I apologize. I just gave an alternative fact. I shouldn’t have done that. But it wasn’t a lie, so don’t try to pin that on me. I’m tired of you guys pinning that on me."
