“I was from Colorado so I was a (Denver Nuggets) fan growing up, but my dad was a Celtics fan and he’s a Red Sox fan. He was born in Boston. My dad was pretty excited when he found out that it was Boston I was going to. He grew up watching them. He was a die-hard Jo Jo White fan. I always heard stories about it growing up. It’s pretty cool to be playing out here now.”

TP for the share. It's cool that he has that connection to Boston via his dad.

Heard about this during the broadcast the other day vs Atl. Really cool story.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Due to my Celtics-related PTSD, I can only think of this:

... and that makes me want to punch somebody in the face.

Haha I understand your trepidation, hopefully Kyrie is a true anomaly.

After the Hawks game someone sent me a link to a truly weird Reddit post which called him The Great Forehead, which is fantastic and deserves sharing:

Quote
Hear me and rejoice! You Atlanta Hawks have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Forehead. You may think this is suffering. No... it is salvation. The universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice. Smile... for even in death, you have become children of Derrick White.
