What if the Boston Celtics are actually pretty darn good?

www.sbnation.com/nba/1086019/...

The Celtics are going to be much better than you expect

The Celtics lost a ton of key players from the 2024 championship team. They very well could still be a major player in the East.

For several nights during the preseason, LeBron James and Luka Dončić were in the same place for the Lakers, but in both circumstances and seating, they also couldn’t have been further apart.

Patrick Mahomes pulled off one of the funniest trick plays of the season against the Raiders, but pretending like he was furious with Andy Reid and swearing up a storm at the line of scrimmage.

If you were looking for the worst game of Week 7 then you probably already had Browns vs. Dolphins circled — but brace yourself, because it’s going to be so much worse than you can possibly imagine.

It just keeps getting worse when it comes to Mike McDaniel and the Miami Dolphins.

Every bit of the coach’s quaintness and charm has evaporated along with his team’s hopes, leaving us with a pile of bland, flavorless goo.

NEW: I lost to Joe Mazzulla and the Celtics coaches by 53 points in a Media vs Coaches scrimmage at the Auerbach Center today.

It was probably the most lopsided basketball game I ever played in.

But it was also the time of my life:

You don’t have to dig too deeply to figure out that Belichick’s time at North Carolina has been a complete disaster, a clown show, an embarrassment, and a waste of time and resources.

The Bill Belichick experiment has been an embarrassment. It’s time for North Carolina to end it.

Bill Belichick was supposed to make North Carolina elite in football. Instead, he’s only brought embarrassment.
