Once saw a group of high schoolers scrolling through TikTok and even making videos during a horror movie.

This was after they showed up 30 minutes late. I just don’t get it.

Jrue Holiday is on track to join Ray Allen, Eddie House, and Al Horford as the only Celtics in history to shoot at least 43% from deep on 300+ attempts.

Plus, he’s still an A-level defender.

My words from yesterday:

ICYMI: The crew are joined by Shane Young to talk Clippers/Suns. Included: the issues w/ the Suns, Bones, a surreal start in PHX, Russell Westbrook’s intentionality, KD’s physicality, and another date with Luka.

Clips fight hard on behind Bones, but fall 124-108 against healthy PHX. Shap, Jamal Cristopher, & Shane Young briefly talk about this one, recap the incredible game in PHX, give out medals, talk about what ails PHX, & think a little about Luka III.

Clips went into the 4th improbably with a lead, before sputtering out behind the end of their rotation + 3rd string, 124-108. Career high 37 for Bones, 23 for BBJR, 12/12/4 for Mason, & just really spirited play all around. Jamal Cristopher, Shane Young, & myself poddin.

Jusuf Nurkic just recorded the 11th double-double in Suns history that didn't include points, by the way.

Jason Kidd had six. Chris Paul, Kevin Johnson, Ricky Rubio, and Penny Hardaway each had one.

Jrue Holiday and the Boston Celtics have agreed to a four-year, $135 million contract extension that will keep their veteran core in place long-term.

Wrote about Jrue Holiday’s extension, which I believe is a major win for both sides:

I like it. You keep a 60-win team together at all costs. Getting this done now allows Boston to focus everything on the title run.

Back-to-back, in a different city.

I’ll say it once again: The NBA didn’t have a player participation problem. It has a scheduling problem. It’s a bit ridiculous they don’t try to solve that first.

The best teams against the Phoenix Suns this season, ranked by point differential per 100 possessions.

That’s destruction by the Clippers.

Tyronn Lue tonight called the Phoenix Suns 'a different beast' when the Suns opt to go small. It allowed Phoenix to make a massive second half run. Still, Lue was adamant the Clippers would be fine if the two teams meet in the postseason.

'I have something for ‘em.'
