Celtics

[New Mexican Disaster]

I had to make sure this was indeed referencing Jason Collins. It does look like Jason Collins signed with Boston, and that you remarked that Collins might somehow contribute to an NBA team.

That makes it awfully hard to value anything else you write in this thread.

I thought the same thing. Althought the rest is nicely reasoned even if the glasses are green tinted.

No I know how much you know BRGGG, but if you'll forgive ESPN's Forsberg for disagreeing w/ you.

The 33-year-old Collins, a veteran of 11 NBA seasons, gives Boston a defensive-minded big man who can give quality minutes off the bench. Collins' offensive game is much-maligned and, for his career, he's averaged 3.8 points and 3.9 rebounds per game. In 30 regular-season games with the Hawks last season, he scored a mere 39 points, but was a pest against the Celtics in the teams' first-round series because of his defense (and occasional offensive burst).

Collins allowed a mere 0.748 points per play last season, ranking in the 88th percentile among all NBA players, according to Synergy Sports data. He's stout in the post and can defend the pick-and-roll. Able to match up with players of all shapes and sizes, Collins has the potential to thrive in Boston the way Stiemsma did when he settled into the team's defensive system, though Collins is not as much of a shot-blocker or rebounder.

Interesting conjecture re: Ray and Doc

Not a flattering portrayal of Allen but wouldn't be a huge shock if it were true.

One thing is clear: if Allen went to MIA in search of a greater role or more PT, then he is a moran because he is getting neither down there. I think it is as simple as wanting a better chance at a ring.
