Celtics Regular Season News

[Moranis]

Al Horford just became the 6th player in NBA history to record at least 14,000 points, 8,400 rebounds, 3,400 assists, and 1,200 blocks in a career, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol, and Dirk Nowitzki.”

I would not have guessed Pau.  Figured Lebron was the 5th, but he only has just over 1100 blocks. 

Wilt and Bill also have done it, but they didn't keep blocks back then.  Wouldn't be surprised if Oscar, Baylor, and a few other old timers also got there had they kept track of blocks back then.

I was surprised Dirk had 1200 blocks

Man, if NBA superstars get unfocused after partying in Miami, I can only imagine what a game in Abu Dhabi will be like.

Reminds me of my favorite dad joke.

"What the difference btw Dubai & Abu Dhabi?  The people in Dubai don't like the Flintstones but the people in Abu Dhabi dooooooo!"

I've never been a season ticket holder, but I've window shopped before.  I always hated the idea that you were forced to buy pre-season tickets as part of the package (correct me if I'm wrong season ticket holders)

If I was a season ticket holder, I'd want every pre-season game to be in some alternate/neutral location.

In my opinion this isn’t good news.

This could be the beginning of an Arab state worming their way into owning an NBA franchise.

Qatar already owns 5% of the Wizards.

Yeah I completely forgot about that.

After further research, this will be the third time the NBA has taken a preseason game to Dubai 🤦🏽

This is pretty brutal to watch. I know Tatum is our best player but I don't think a fadeaway iso shot is the way to go at the end of the game in the clutch. It's one thing when a play breaks down, but when you're dribbling the clock out there has to be something better. We have 4-5 other capable shooters and definitely have other options. Tatum has hit game winners on open looks or those ATOs where a guy inbounds and Tatum runs from halfcourt and pulls up. So idk why he just keeps jacking up low IQ fadeaways. It does feel like he misses those a ton in crucial moments late in games.
