I am looking on the bright side. At least Tatum didn’t seriously hurt himself this postseason (hopefully???). This season was a gap year. A much much better gap year than anyone could reasonably expect. See you in October.

Turns out the NBA is quite compelling when these crappy ass tanking teams are not involved. 8 and 7 seeds giving the top teams the business. Upsets in the air. Even the Suns made it interesting against OKC yesterday. Great time to be a basketball fan.

YouTube but only for clips of Collin Murray-Boyles and Scottie Barnes playing defense.

If you’ve been wishing to watch Brandon Ingram barfing up shots, today’s your Christmas.

Shai is controlling the game at an incredible level.

Maybe just skip the playoffs and have a Celtics-Thunder best of 21 Finals right away.

I smell minutes for Hugo and Ron in this game. Celtics absolutely steamrolling the Sixers.

Encouraging second half by the C‘s.

This was peak Jokić. The fact that we have two dudes operating on the same level as him right now is preposterous.

I see the playoffs have already started.

Trump used a secret meeting to sidestep the law & end key protections for endangered species. The admin is removing protections for species in the Gulf of Mexico under the guise of "national security." It's a ploy to expand oil & gas production at the expense of our ecosystem.

Luka Dončić had more points in the month of March this season than Anthony Davis had his entire time with the Mavericks. (via Underdog) #NBA

NEW STORY: The Celtics aren't looking for moral victories, but if you're looking, there was one: Luka Garza. Garza tallied 20 points on 8-9 shooting and was a +6 in a 10-point loss to the Hawks. “I view myself as a scorer — I always have." www.celticsblog.com/boston-celti...

Big Honey and Big Deuce. What a world.

Eye-opening and frightening! A must read.

The NBA has about 20 billion reasons to expand. None of them involve basketball. Latest from me, at The Ringer:

wrote about last night's game between the thunder and celtics as the prologue to what could be one of the more compelling and sophisticated nba finals in quite some time: www.theringer.com/2026/03/26/n...

NEW STORY: Hugo Gonzalez carries a Catan board onto every team flight, but it’s not what you think: “I am the Catan hater.” I got to the bottom of the Celtics’ road trip Catan battles: www.celticsblog.com/celtics-feat...

Reopening the Strait has emerged as the main objective of the war—an issue that was caused by the war.

4 seconds is a lot of time in basketball.

Gavin Doty is a bucket. Duke seriously needs to up their defense in a major way.

Trainer, Coaches, Mentoren … was macht diese Menschen so wichtig für junge, aber auch gestandene Basketballer? In der neuen Folge des Golden Hoops Podcasts sprechen wir über die Menschen mit Taktikbrett und Visionen.

Jason Tatum currently has the longest active 20-point game streak (4) on the Boston Celtics. He has played a total of 5 games... #NBA

Normally one would say, stop trying to make Neem the Dream a thing. But against the Wizards, it seems oddly fitting.

Damn, that Wemby to Kornet lob was 2 Live Crew kinda nasty.

I like Bam. He‘s one hell of a defender, great culture setter, dependable. I am not taking away from HIS performance, he got a LOT of shots up and hit many which is a exhausting. But that game is happening only b/c of the Wizards. Spo never even had to think about playing a competitive game.

Bam Adebayo had 31 points in the first quarter. That is the most since Kevin Love dropped 34 in 2016. #NBA

Why is John Wall wearing out Kim Jong Un‘s retired wardrobe?

i wrote about nikola jokic, the denver nuggets, and how much of their recent struggle is an actual concern: www.theringer.com/2026/03/05/n...

I wouldn’t be mad if we‘d lost by 30 to the 96 Bulls or the 16 Warriors or the 26 Hornets. Every decade has its dominant team. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fun fact: LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller, Kon Knueppel, Moussa Diabate & Miles Bridges have a +30.7 net rating in their minutes together this season. That's on pace to be the highest net rating by any five-man lineup with 250+ minutes in 19 seasons of lineup data.

Happiest birthday to Jayson Tatum and Jordan Walsh ☘️

Naz Reid doing his best And1 mixtape impression.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

What an ass game. On the bright side, Knicks ain’t never gonna win shit with this roster either.

I enjoyed the Anferno experience to the fullest. He‘ll be remembered fondly. Good dude, wish him well.

No way Brad is trading Simons.

Checking on Jaylen Brown's prediction four years ago tonight that the "energy was about to shift". Since that tweet, the Celtics have the NBA's best record... ...by 25½ games.

Hornets are really fun to watch and not just that. They are good too. They are taking it to a very solid defense. Future is bright.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Drake Legs 😘

Let‘s bring it home.

Wouldn’t be surprised if 10-7 is the final score.

Drake rushing seems like the only viable option on offense today. Let‘s hope that’s enough.

Cleveland fans watching Chet like this is what we thought Evan Mobley was gonna be.

Not a fun football game. Clogged toilet offense for the Pats whereas the Texans got their bath overflooded with shit.
