It's kind of cool how unapologetic Paul Pierce is about being a big ol baby regarding the potential acknowledgement of IT on His Special Dayquote:Plans to show a brief video tribute to Isaiah Thomas, who was traded to Cleveland last August, have been scrapped after Pierce told Celtics head of basketball operations Danny Ainge he preferred to have that day to himself. Plus bonus choice Rondo quote quote:"What has [Thomas] done?" Rondo said before Tuesday's game, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. When told how Thomas led Boston to the East finals, Rondo replied, "Oh, that's what we celebrate around here?"

That being said I think this storyline goes back a few weeks/months and IT was being kind of a dick about the scheduling at the beginning. Pierce does maybe have a point; the Celtics GOAT lineage runs Russell, Bird, Pierce.

It's a drat shame the Kings already have Buddy Hield because Trae Young seems to have Vivek pick written all over him.

Ainge says in the article that he and IT's agent didn't even realize the next Celtics-Cavs game was Pierce's jersey retirement night when they agreed to bump it at first It doesn't matter at all in the long term, but it's super funny to imagine an exasperated Ainge trying to see if maybe Pierce would be OK with a 60 second video during the pregame introduction and still getting nowhere

Jota posted:lol afflalo got bitched out so much worse than if he had just gotten dropped in return for that punch. he got treated like he was his little brother dude didn't even have to put any effort into it. may as well have just extended his arm and put his hand on his head In one of the angles you can see that Afflalo's forearm even does kinda smack Bjelica's head, it's not a complete dodge but it is completely shrugged off i assume afflalo's going to get suspended for that. you can't just try to uppercut a dude into the ceiling spikes. A fatality on the court is bad for the brand

https://twitter.com/sam_amick/status/953419233513238534 So wait, Chris Paul had Tarik Black and Clint Capela knock on the front door as a distraction, lead Trevor Ariza through the secret tunnel into the back entrance to the locker room, and then immediately played peace maker? And now Austin Rivers is being looked at by the league? Chris Paul just lead some Alex Jones style false flag operation right there

They seem to be handling it much better than the Lakers did last year, giving the vets schedules so they know when they're off.

The GSW-HOU series is going to be amazing. Each team is guaranteed at least one incredible volcanic meltdown. I'm expecting CP3 and Draymond to get themselves suspended over the course of the series..

AD looked pretty good in his Boston try out. Maybe Ainge will consider throwing in Rozier or Smart into an offer now.

I keep on trying to not get sucked back into the IT video thing but I think I may actually be confused. I ask this seriously, what do these videos consist of in your cities? Because in Toronto they basically play a video for anyone that fans ever had an emotional connection with not counting the time that guy faked an injury to get traded (although he's gotten one once a year for the past 5 years) . It plays for like 45-90 seconds during a timeout in the second quarter and it's rarely shown on TV. It is never marketed in advance. And I really doubt they discuss it with agents/players. Unless we're talking about the other type of tribute videos I read about online and then I totally get why Pierce would be hesitant. BWV fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Jan 17, 2018 |

Paul Pierce knows that nobody else outside of Boston loves him and he’ll be damned if he has to share the spotlight I appreciate a good petty moment

What Draymond does is a psychological tactic known as framing, whereby he changes the parameters of acceptable statements and behavior in a way that make the people he's interacting with act as if his behavior is normal. Donald Trump was really good at framing his stupid arguments and it helped him destroy the Republican debates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LR6EA91zLo Pitch framing is a similar concept where catchers trick umpires into calling balls strikes and vice versa.
