What illness does this guy have?

He said it's a viral illness that they haven't been able to identify yet. But he's allowed to be around the team so they must know it's not contagious. Don't understand why they would take any chances with that though and wouldn't just err on the side of caution.

I'm sure with their excellent medical staff and his excellent private medical care his health is always very well monitored, but he is such a fragile injury prone athlete. It reminds me so much of Chris Sale. But he is no Chris Sale, he has a much better attitude and competitive spirit.

He has regular season game illness of course

he has mono but they haven't said it publicly so his wife doesn't find out.

i'm only half kidding.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Pain.

Which could send Cooper Flagg to Utah!!!!!

the worst team never gets the #1 pick...

except, of course, this year... where it's inevitable that we'll slide out of the last slot, end up drafting 6th, and the first pick will go to, i dunno, someone who owes their pick to Oklahoma City.

Half the league owes OKC their #1 this year, but all with protections.

Big game tomorrow night Headache. May the worst team lose!

 

[Hewson]

Sag for Flagg!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

[Headache in a Suitcase]

ESPN

A group led by Bill Chisholm, managing partner at Symphony Technology Group, has agreed to purchase the Boston Celtics for a valuation of $6.1 billion, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

That price would surpass the $6.05 billion price a group led by Josh Harris paid to buy the NFL's Washington Commanders in 2023 as the highest number paid for a franchise in North American sports history, and would easily surpass the record number for the control stake of an NBA team, which was set two years ago when Mat Ishbia bought the Phoenix Suns for $4 billion

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Chisholm made his fortune in private equity


The group led by Chisholm, a lifelong Celtics fan who was born and raised in the Boston area, includes Boston business executives and philanthropists Rob Hale -- a current Celtics owner -- and Bruce A. Beal, Jr., sources told Charania.

 

[Hewson]

My bid fell just a tad short.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

if we're lucky, we can get that naming rights deal done.

Hewson Headache Center!

Incredibly selfless act from a legend of the sport. He will be on an NBA playoff team by the end of March, mark my words. I would suspect at the Celtics, given Justin Tatum is the Hawks' coach. 'Class act': Delly gives NBL finals MVP to victorious Hawks opponent

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

He can follow in the footsteps of famed NBA legend... ::checks notes::

NBL legend Larry Sengstock

GAF has offered me sexual favours, so giddy is he about Giddey

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

You're too old

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I mean... you tell me what you see



That's an and-1, by the way

I see a 40-yr old dude looking tired at the end of the game.

The first three was his assignment. He got turned around.

The second was his turnover.

He was a decoy on the Lakers last play.

And he technically fouled Giddey.
