As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Jaylen missed the box out and then absolutely fouled Oubre on the put-back attempt and was lucky not to give up an and-one.

Watch Jordan Walsh operate around screens and tell me you don't see a hint of Marcus Smart.

If I was an official, I would give coaches and players instant technicals for arguing with me after a review.

if i was a consultant for the nba my advice about all-star weekend would be "stop making people think hard about stuff that doesn't matter"
So to sum up the All-Star Game selection process this season:
24 All-Stars
12 from each conference
Positions don't matter
16 US players
8 World players
2 US teams
1 World team
8 players per team
If there are not enough US or World players then Adam Silver will select more to fill out the teams.

Looks like NBA just revealed the All-Star Game format this season. Two teams of American players and one World team. Same selection process for the All-Stars but they will not be picked based on position. So positionless All-Stars selections.

Jordan Walsh's rise from DNP-CD Guy to Most Promising Fringe Rotation Guy has been very sudden but also very emphatic.

I gasped out loud at how bad that pass was lol
Sorry to get on Josh Minott, but Celts had a 1-pt lead and got a stop -- finally had the ball and the lead with about 6 minutes left. But Minott threw a horrendous pass directly to a Magic player. Layup to retake the lead, and they never looked back.

My Hater Take of the Night is that the Orlando Magic will be deeply uncool for as long as they have a Disney logo on their uniform.

Peak 19-year-old Hugo Gonzalez: Ran around aimlessly, ate up a bunch of the shot clock for no reason, handed Derrick White a shot-clock grenade ... then hustled and created the offensive rebound that led to the Simons three.

That was an impressive two minutes of Celtics defense.

So when Jaylen Brown said he was "sacrificing" last year, it turns out he absolutely was and fair enough

I think you’re probably right that this will be the excuse the officials use to wiggle out of L2M culpability, which will be interesting for two reasons. 1) Postgame, Jaylen said they told him they didn’t see the trip and 2) it’s transparently not true

If the Last 2 Minute report confirms the incorrect no-call tomorrow, Jaylen should be exempt from the fine (he probably won't be).

Jaylen Brown is way, way too good for the Celtics to tank, and this iteration of the Celtics feels a little too unserious for 29-year-old Jaylen Brown. Idk man.

This is not a "The refs are biased!" post but rather a "wtf" post - the Celtics are on the bottom end of a 56-16 free-throw disparity over their last seven quarters of basketball.
