Unbelievable really!
-
Average Al is out (what a f***ing joke that little attempt at a nickname was). Defensively ( which honestly still is what it's all about) IT ranked almost dead last in the NBA. Teams just took advantage of him. Other than Cousy, I really can't think of another point guard to compare Kyrie to. Scores, assists, defends, leads! Works for me.
-
You won't miss him too much longer! It is likely that that he is back in action sooner than expected.
-
so sad - and what you said is so true
-
I really agree with you here. It has been a long long time since we have seen a point guard like this guy in Boston.
-
I agree - IT was a good story. He did a lot for us. We now have a legit super star playing the point for us and he is just 25.
-
You certainly can. He knows how to play. After seeing him against San Antonio, I thought that he might wind up getting pushed around a little bit. Not so! He gets great inside position and he goes after the boards.

Might be an unusual thing for me to say but I really never suffered at all through all of those ever so close years. 86 hurt badly because I truly felt that we were the best of the bunch. It has always been about the season for me. i ran marathons and i believe that the baseball season is much like running one of those. it is about patience and just hanging in there - gutting things out. Winning championships is a fortunate bonus that came along for all of us to enjoy. Boston is the city of champions as far as I am concerned. I actually love the experience of the season much more than I do the playoff season to be honest with you. You have to get there first before you can win though. That is probably why I don't get too engaged when the talk turns to who performs better or best when the playoffs start. I will always take my chances with the guys who can get us there. I'm enjoying the Celtics right now but I will anxiously await the beginning of spring training. I like the cycle.

I think that your description sounds about right.
-
it's Lary dontcha know - or we think it is anyway
-
I've watched all or parts of every game which is pretty rare for me. It's a team that has the potential to get better. I think that in terms of talent, it really is a better team from top to bottom than any they have had for a while. They stay involved defensively for 48 minutes - pretty rare in the NBA. I don't think that they lay over the field by any means but they ain't bad. It will be interesting to see where Okafor winds up.
-
Sounds great!
-
I'm sorry if it seemed veiled. That was not my intention.
-
Believe it or not Yankee fan this one wasn't necessarily directed at you. A lot of talk about Moncada here - most of it was negative with respect to what he could give us. I saw him play and still believe that he will be a star.
-
I'm calling massive ******** talk about Moncada and his value to our team going forward. I was and still am a big Moncada fan. He still might be the one. There are extremely few people posting here who saw any value in keeping Moncada and it had nothing to do with any concept of someone being inured in the future. This board almost to a person felt that he was and probably still is an over rated prospect. A virtual K machine who wasn't going to help us at all. A Yankee fan tells you all how good he could be and all of a sudden it makes people start second guessing trading him for Chris Sale. Interesting!
-
Thank you for the update. Your opinion is that we gave away some soon to be all-star calibre players. I just a little more of a wait and see kind of guy. Do you also post on a Yankee forum board? You are a doctor as well? Busy kind of guy I guess. When I was teaching, I wouldn't have had the time. Oh well.
-
They have done well. Superstars - not in my opinion. A group of pretty solid ball players. The voice that I keep hearing is the one that says we have given away too much talent to allow us to compete a couple of years down the line. I don't agree with that voice. As for other teams trading with us, I think that it's great. i hope that the players we traded away do develop. other than Margot though how are they doing? Did some of them put up numbers playing at any level this year that would indicate that they are going to live up to the hype that surrounded them while they were here?
-
I understand this although I still absolutely feel that many of our minor leaguers are and have been over rated. It does not concern me at all that we gave up what we gave when considering what we got. Understand also that I to believe that things will get interesting in a few years. They always do. It is the way things are. To some, there is a cliff. That implies a rather sharp sudden drop off. I don't think that has even a remote chance of happening if John Henry continues to own the franchise. The cliff is an opinion that some are promoting. it is their opinion. Mine says that it doesn't exist.
-
We also have no way of actually knowing what the future may bring for any of the players traded away. I'm a fan not the GM thus I really get excited about the next season and not so much about what might happen 2 or more years down the road. I understand that it is something to talk about for sure but when someone beats this foolish cliff concept to death I do see an element of misery and doom and gloom in their forecast which doesn't work for me.
-
Stock piling players in the farm didn't really serve us particularly well and is not a philosophy that I think of when I think of rebuilding anything. it is about the quality not quantity. Of all the prospects that have been dealt recently, I will anxiously await the day that one of them proves to be just a little better than Margot. I really don't see what I consider to be that many young "stars" that came along while Ben was here. Lots of decent quantity i guess but outside of Betts maybe Beninetendi, maybe Devers someday. Oh well, i'm just an old lifelong fan who wants to have something to look forward to each year. I like the aggressive, competitive approach that our current GM has.
-
And therein lies the rub for even the most diehard cliff believing DD disliking folks out there. Is it even conceiveable if the franchise remains in the same hands? I think not. I am really looking forward to the next decade of Red Sox success.
-
It is ok Oh Foy - You will likely also be told that in addition to batting average, things like ERA, wins and losses,saves, etc. have limited use in today's analytical world. You get to decide. Personally I still think that each individual stat does have some significance. When all else fails, I still actually believe what I see.

nice job -

M. Morris adds another good dimension for the C's. it's for real.
