Kamala Harris and the Boston Celtics in one place

Celtics vs. Sixers - playoffs

Have you watched most recent episode of Below Deck Med?

Phillies vs. Red Sox? How are Phillies this season? 

Dan likened this season to a death march, why? 

Celtics took game 1. Gordon Hayward is out for a month. Celts can’t rebound. 

i think this goes 6 and either team could still be the winner

Flyers vs. Montreal - gotta pull for the Fly Guys in that one. Flyers are up 3-1 

Bruins somehow are 2-0 since Tuuka Rask Left and lead Carolina 3-1. 

You gotta fight fire with fire with people like the current President — think it’s an awesome pick

Before Biden Picked Harris - where did you have Harris ranked on his potential list of running mates? And Why?

Who else did you like from that potential list of running mates? 

I was surprised that Harris’ campaign didn’t get more traction during primary season… any thoughts as to why that was the case? (Bernie and Biden seemed to take the air out of the room in a lot of ways, perhaps?)

Tim Kaine was a “milk toast” uninspired pick for Hilary in 2016 — Kamala Harris is NOT THAT for so many reasons.

Here’s a tweet from day 2 on the VP ticket - “Trump inherited the longest economic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden. And then, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground.”

Bucks tried to get better, Raptors tired to get better, Sixers tried to get better… Celtics stood pat and the word out of Boston seems to be the a “healthy Gordon Hayward is their acquisition” - What’s your take on that?

Hot take on Governor Northam? 

Can the Philadelphia Eagles repeat? Mid-term Mania. This Red Sox Parade was more than just Duck Boats!

Was 2018 the first “eff you parade” in Boston sports history? 

Seems like that attitude was pure jubilation and feeling bullet proof as a fanbase. 

Price has his eff you parade for towards then fans. 

The Boston sports fans had theirs towards the philly fans for stealing a super bowl.  

This title was a collective realization that even if Tom Brady is never gonna win another and even if the pats go back to being bad... Boston fans just realized - as long as the Sox have good ownership and tons of 💰- we have a franchise that’s won 4 titles in 15 seasons with 3 diff managers... dozens of different players. Hockey is super random. And Boston Celtics aren depended on outsmarting opponents because it’s tough for them  to get free agents. But the Sox - they can miss and take years off and hit bottom, but they’ll always get it right a couple times a decade

The Sox were our city’s first love and are now our best hope to keep the party going once the pats dynasty is no more 

places listening - Turkey, Ireland, UK, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Philippines, Slovakia, Germany, Brazil, British Indian Ocean Territory & More 

Philadelphia Eagles What’s the mood right now at 4-4? 

Is getting each team’s best shot week after week what you expected? 

What’s the feeling for the next 8 games? Home & Away vs Cowboys and Skins, at Saints, at Rams, Home Giants, Home Texans

What’s the city’s feelings on your QB situation? 

Can your guys go on the road and get Saints or Rams? What about winning on road in playoffs? 

How was the raising of the banner on the first game of the year? 

Are people still basking in that Super Bowl win or are fans finally more focused on this seasons results? I felt like after Pats first title - i dealt with their 9-7 season in a way of saying well we’re still the champs until the super bowl… i’ve since stopped feeling that way about title teams. 

MID-TERMS!?!?!!? Any hot takes 

SCOTUS Hot takes on Anthony Kennedy retirement, plus Celtics, Red Sox & Patriots

Why is nobody upset with Justice Anthony Kennedy for announcing his retirement before the mid-term elections?

I mean you were appointed by Reagan and you’ve been the swing vote on the Supreme Court for decades. GOP already stole Garland’s spot — the timing of this announcement in July instead of December (post election) is dastardly at best.

5 mins on red sox and pats - Do the sox have enough to win it? Will this be the year the Pats regress from AFC Title Game level of success? If so, will they ever get it back? 

5 mins on Celts and NBA Free agency Boogie to Warriors, Marcus Smart stays with Celtics, DeRozan for Kawhi, LeBron to the Lakers - does he get a title? does he get multiple titles?

Interview Jeremy Johnson, Marky Sal and Dan Ruttle - Ask the same question of 3 guests

If corporations are running the nation and the world, instead of nations — then shouldn’t we at least stop choosing the federal gov’t officials we elect based on a “state by state” basis? If Wyoming as a state, with 600,000 people deserves 2 senators — then I propose that cities larger Wyoming deserve 1 senator (in addition to the two their home state gets).

Kyrie Irving traded for Isaiah Thomas (et al) - Celtics & Cavaliers NBA blockbuster

Kyrie Irving traded for Isaiah Thomas - Celtics and Cavs emergency podcast 

Trader Danny aka Danny Ainge is at it again

But I think this is a good basketball move for the Celtics, The Cavs and for Isaiah Thomas — for Kyrie — maybe it’s the best move — but the other 3 made out like bandits

Losers in the near term are Celtics fans and the mojo they’ve created through their fandom of IT4

Win for Isaiah: 

Play a year with LeBron, maybe win a ring in his final Cleveland season 

Get a max deal during the summer of 2018 — LeBron will be gone — Cleveland has trouble getting marquee free agents — Cavs will have a ton of cap space - and he wants a max contract that Boston can’t afford after paying Gordon Haywood and others

So, a lovable underdog who is an offensive dynamo is going to be embraced by Cleveland — which is a city that will be craving just that type of player, if LeBron leaves.

NBA fans win — this is going to be a BRUTALLY HEATED RIVALRY this season

Win for the Cavs: 

Fix their huge team chemistry problem

Still have a shot at a 2018 Title 

Have a plan for post LeBron in - Jae Crowder at a great price, plus the 2018 Nets pick in addition to likely resigning Thomas

Win for the Celtics:

Keep Jayson Tatum

Move Jae Crowder out of a log jam at small forward

Kyrie isn’t coming off of major hip surgery and Isaiah is

Kyrie is basically a taller version of Thomas — but w/o the Hip questions mark and w/o a contract expiring next summer (he’s got 3 years remaining - 2 plus a 1 year player option

Once undersized guards, like Allen Iverson lose it — they LOSE IT - WITH NO WARNING — Trader Danny wasn’t going to roll the dice on a 5 year 200million deal for a 5’7’ guard who may or may not ever get back to his 2016-17 form.

Celtics have a couple of years to convince Kyrie that this team, with Gordon Haywood, Al Horford, et al — can be his marquee big market team - and he’ll be the alpha dog.

Losers: Celtics Fans and their love affair with Isaiah Thomas — nothing will ever take away the amazing run — and no matter what happens Thomas and Boston will love eachotehr forever. He’s the Celtics version of Big Papi — the heart and soul of the franchise — the emotional touchstone — this one hurts 

But - I like this a lot - because the Celtics don’t have to worry about paying a 5’7” point guard a max deal for the next 5 years
