I feel like 90% of their end of clock situations is a Tatum iso, and not a particularly good one.  Ive been with friends who have bets on 1H or quarter totals and its 1-2 points shy, Boston comes down with 20 seconds left and the possession results in an off balance or turnaround jumper from Tatum and they lose their minds.  Its part of the reason I don't think very highly of Mazulla.  He just has a supremely talented roster, but I rarely see any impressive tactical coaching.  And like you said, Tatum really feels like he's plateaued.  Insanely talented shot maker but I struggle to ever see him as a top 3-5 guy in the league the way he plays.

Tatum has the propensity to launch contested 3's in iso ball situations.  It's not the percentage play.  The guy is 6'10 and has the ability to play consistently closer to the rim.  He's strong enough to punish guards on switches inside.  It was interesting that until the tying shot and overtime, Brown and Tatum were pretty awful in the 4Q.

Pairing this Celtics roster with Joe Mazulla is really a questionable decision.

We will likely disagree on the root cause so I won't get too much into my thoughts on that, but I couldn't agree more with your second sentence. I'm 33, earn just under 100K per year, and with my mortgage payment, utilities, and other necessary expenses, I barely have any spending money.

I have no idea how people with kids are surviving. Or those who make closer to the median income. Unless we make major changes, which I doubt happens, a higher and higher percentage of Americans are going to struggle relative to the past.


I'm not doubting you, but I know plenty of people who make less than that, and who are both paying mortgages and raising a family.

I think this depends greatly on where you are choosing to live and what you, and others, would call a "necessary expense."

Don't worry, private equity is here to save the day.

Nothing has ever gone wrong when PE firms get involved and pitch themselves as the benevolent white knight solution to a problem.

I don't get it. We've been told by the media that colleges have been making billions off the slave labor. Multi-million dollar buy-outs are merely rounding errors to schools. $500k to MU is like you and I being charged twice for fries at McDonalds.  Whoop-de-doo.

Or maybe, just maybe, not all parties to this discussion have been 100% honest?

If I'm not mistaken, the Pacers had a time out before they inbounded the ball with 8.5 secs.  I believe they could have advanced the ball, but does anyone know for sure?

Are we getting Jets?  Or are we getting the NFL's biggest attention whore again needing to make everything in the offseason about himself?

That too.

I can't believe we are getting this much Jets again.

Building off of the discussion in the economy thread, Matthew Desmond's Poverty By America is an essential read for many.
