The Celtics Grab Enes Kanter

Heavy.com What’s the deal? The Boston Celtics just signed Enes Kanter to a two year, $10 million dollar deal. The storied franchise was in desperate need of a big-man after the Kemba Walker signing. Kanter steps into that role well. A solid offensive center with plenty to prove, he’ll fit right in with this Celtics team. What does Kanter bring to the team? After losing Horford to the 76ers, Boston was left with a deficiency at the center spot. Although not a good defender, Ka

Talking Myself Into Liking the Celtics Draft Night

CelticsBlog When the Boston Celtics were on the clock with the 14th pick, was I rooting (read: praying) for them to select Brandon Clarke? Yes. What about Kevin Porter Jr? Double Yes. Was I a little deflated after seeing the name Romeo Langford pop up on ESPN? Triple yes. This is a safe space, fellow Celtics fans. Let it out. Seeing that name come onto my screen felt like when you found out your school received only a 90-minute delay while all of the surrounding schools got a

2019 NBA Free Agents: Klay Thompson

Zach Beeker/NBAE via GettyImages Overview: As if there was any doubt about Klay Thompson’s value, one-half of the Splash Brothers had yet another excellent postseason run during the 2019 NBA Playoffs that cemented his status as the premier free agent shooting guard in the 2019 class. His season didn’t at all end as he expected, with both him and his Golden State Warriors going down in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Thompson suffered a torn ACL during the middle of the third quarte

Best Fan Moments of the 2019 Playoffs

USA Today With the NBA postseason now behind us it seems like the right time to reflect on the spectacle of the 2018-19 playoffs, before the memories of the earlier rounds and the greatness of the Finals fade away into free agency and the start of next season. The Toronto Raptors are the champions of the world. The Golden State Warriors quest to win four out of five was ended by a strong Toronto team, a myriad of injuries, and inconsistencies on the defensive end. At the end

KD’s Achilles Is the NBA’s Sliding Door Moment

Getty Images When Kevin Durant came rushing back from a calf injury in Game 5 of the NBA Finals in an effort to become the series’ game changer, two paths appeared. On one, he stayed healthy, and win or lose, would become the most desirable free agent in the league, making a decision that would impact the league for years. In the other, his body wasn’t ready, and he would jeopardize his career as well as the plans of all the franchises that lined up for his services. As even

2019 NBA Finals: 5 Thoughts on Game 5

Courtesy of Chris Young/The Canadian Press via AP 1. The Warriors are, undeniably, a much better team with Durant (game-high +6) on the court; likely, the most talented squad ever assembled. When Kevin Durant was on the floor for those precious 12 minutes, he was simply electric, hitting all of his attempts from beyond the arc - often in the spite of Klaw-sized mitts and tight defense. His presence was a jolting reminder that these are not the unbeatable, fabled Warriors of y

Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via GettyImages The Toronto Raptors are one win away from an NBA Championship. Let's take a moment to appreciate the magnitude of that statement... This is a team that went through a complete facelift to start the season. Their current starting lineup only played 161 minutes together during the regular season, and they have already more than doubled that total this postseason at 362 minutes.

2019 NBA Finals: 5 Thoughts on Game 4

NBA.com The Toronto Raptors triumphed against the Golden State Warriors 105-92 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday night. The Raptors team surprised most of the NBA community by winning both games in the Oracle, and now are in full control of the series at 3-1. With the contest going back to Toronto, the Raptors have a golden chance at ending the Warriors dynasty in front of their home ground. Kawhi Leonard was again a star in Game 4 of the series, but here some of the othe

How the Raptors Defensive Matchups Must Change Once Kevin Durant Returns

Via Sporting News Kevin Durant is arguably the best player in the National Basketball Association, and his slender shadow has been looming over the Finals as he nears return from injury. The Warriors had enough firepower to get through a close-out game in Houston and to sweep a solid Trail Blazers team without KD, but the Raptors are a whole different story. Toronto is in many ways the antithesis of the Golden State. They’re a team built on depth and defense, perhaps like t

2019 NBA Finals: 5 Thoughts on Game 3

Courtesy of Inquirer Sports. Hours before Game 3, Steve Kerr announced both Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson would be unavailable, unable to play in a perhaps a pivotal battle in the greater war that is the 2018/2019 NBA Finals. A golden opportunity was there for the Toronto Raptors to go up 2-1 in the series, and they seized it, holding the Golden State Warriors at arms-length, stiff-arming the defending champs en route to a win. Here are a few thoughts from their victory. 1.

2019 NBA Finals: Game 4 Preview

ABC15 Arizona Before we get into Game 4, let's take a look back at how the Toronto Raptors emerged victorious in Game 3 and took a 2-1 series lead. The Golden State Warriors entered Game 3 without Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Kevon Looney. Those are arguably three of their best six players, and they were missed sorely. Without much scoring around him, Steph Curry put up a career playoff high 47-points on 14/31 shooting including 6/14 from three. He also added eight reboun

Courtesy of the Toronto Star. Before taking the dive and making some predictions for Game 3, it might be prudent to reflect on some of the results of Game 2. Conventional basketball wisdom tends to say that each game in the Finals is a unique entity, but in some cases, momentum can indeed bleed over and certain habits may be uncovered. The Golden State Warriors eeked out a 109-104 win in Game 2, but this victory didn’t come without consequence. Klay Thompson left the game in

2019 NBA Finals: What’s at Stake for DeMarcus Cousins

Dan Hamilton-USA TODAY Sports Lost in the din of Andre Igoudala’s late-game heroics that saved the Golden State Warriors from going down 0-2 in the Finals was DeMarcus Cousins’ big game in his second game back from a quad injury. Cousins was Steve Kerr’s trump card in Game 2 as the former All-Star big man put his stamp on this series in his first career start in the Finals. After warming up for an 8-minute, off-the-bench stint in Game 1, Cousins got the starting nod and rewar
