The more I think about it the more I'm annoyed that the Celts didn't go after Noel. It sounds like its more likely Phili will get two seconds instead of a 1st because of protections. Even Cousins who I wanted no part of was so cheap why not take a flier. Blah.

Nerlens would have been a good fit for the Celtics.

Meh, they are still second round fodder or Lebron food in the ECF. It will be interesting to see if that will motivate Ainge in the offseason to get a difference maker somehow.

I have no idea what rumors to believe but I guess PG didn't happen because he wants to go to LA and Butler didn't happen because either the C's didn't offer the Nets picks or the Bulls wanted Jae freaking Crowder.

The one title they won erases a dream teamer from the fan base memory?

Do they have Fans that remember 1992?

All their fans showed up in 2014, so no.

The only thing I can think of he will be restricted this summer and they didn't want to pay him.

Noel isn't very good and he's a bozo. If oakafor wasn't worse and a bigger bozo I wonder if people would be so hyped on him. Remember him trashing his house:


NBA star Nerlens Noel puts the guys from "Project X" to shame -- DESTROYING the home he was renting last year with Gatorade stains, drugs and toilet damage ... this according to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports.

The 21-year-old Philadelphia 76ers star rented a 4,800 square foot home outside of Philly back in September 2014 -- paying $54,000 for a one-year lease. But he not only trashed the place and left weed throughout the home ... he also allegedly threatened the owners after he moved out.

In their lawsuit, the owners of the home list all of the crazy damage they found including after Noel moved out in August 2015:

-- "Splashed neon colored sports drinks (such as Gatorade) on the carpets throughout the home."
-- $30,000 in other damage to carpets
-- Extreme water damage throughout the home
-- Clogged toilets filled with cotton balls and feces

(In fact, the owners say the plumber who fixed the toilet told them the damage was so bad he told them, "Someone must not like you.")

-- Broken elevator (it's a baller house)
-- $4,000 in damage to the stove
-- damage to the fridge
-- damage to the blinds
-- damage to dishwasher
-- torn window screens

The owners say they also found weed and roaches from joints in the home -- including pieces of marijuana in the master bathroom drawers.

Now here's the scary part ...

The owners say they demanded $42,000 to repair the damage ... but the DAY AFTER they sent the demand, a TOMBSTONE with the words "RIP" mysteriously appeared on the front steps of the property. The owners believe it was Noel's doing and are considering it a death threat.

They're now suing Noel for all sorts of reasons -- including assault (because they believe harm is imminent) and want more than $75,000 for their troubles.

As for Noel, so far no comment from his camp -- but according to the suit, he's demanded his security deposit back.

sounds like he lived like a slob

I think the way you live says a lot about the type of professional you are. This is like one step above Robert Swift's house and you never go full Robert Swift.

Sounds like the condition of a lot of 22 year old's rental properties.

Degenerates maybe. My place was clean when I was 22.

Same here.

One of my good friends works for the company that owns some really fancy student high rises downtown. They tend to attract the rich kids. They absolutely trash them.

You ever go to Flat Branch MD?

Sometimes, it is usually super busy and I've had some bad experiences there as of late. Great patio though.

I thought they had good beer. I forgot my ID once and they made a big deal about serving me when I was like 23. It would have been understandable if I hadn't been with a friend who essentially lived there during medical school.

They do have pretty good beer. There's a really good microbrewery that opened in town a few years ago that makes better stuff and they distribute so FB has taken a hit.

The brewery bubble is going to burst at some point. Seems like there is a new one up here every week and the quality varies from OK to wtf.

Probably. The new one is really good. I think it can last. I wonder if they will make it to the Chicago area.

So Shaq is the latest TNT guy an NBA player has decided to whine about. Apparently javelle mcgee thinks he is someone now that he's on the warriors and thinks shaqtin a fool is ruining his career. Predictably fake tough guy Durant and Steve Kerr have rushed to their dopey center's defense.

Playoff atmosphere in Toronto last night. Raps were really trying. IT couldn't really do anything in the 4th. He just passed the ball and got out of the way. It was kinda sad. He's just too small for when the defense is really trying. The other guys couldn't do anything. At least Danny and Brad got to keep Crowder. Celtics Playoff preview.

Meanwhile Butler sucked all game but when it mattered hit the big shots late and defended the suns best perimeter players.
