City of Champs

Let's start of with this. To whomever has burned an Isaiah Thomas jersey, you are a disgrace to the entire Boston Celtics fanbase, the city of Boston, and to basketball fans everywhere. To burn a jersey is a disrespectful act in itself, but to burn the jersey of someone who brought the most historic NBA franchise ever from the bottom of the league to NBA finals contention, a guy who played a playoff game just days after his SISTER TRAGICALLY PASSED AWAY, a guy who put his body on the line every game for his team, a guy who left everything on the court, someone who showed hard work really pays off, shows heart over height is a real thing inspiring us all and doing nothing but good for the community of Boston is disgusting. You're burning that guy's jersey?!?! You can find yourself a new team to root for, because you're not on the same planet as a real Celtics fan. Anyway, let's get into it. The trade itself: Celtics: Kyrie Irving Cavs: Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder,...

The whole NBA world is currently swirling due to Cleveland Cavs' all-star guard, Kyrie Irving's reported demand of a trade out of Cleveland. You'd think that the local Boston media would be all over the Celtics to pick him up especially that according to Cavs' ex-GM David Griffin, the Celtics were one of the teams on Kyrie's wish list for destinations, but unlike past NBA stars on the market, Kyrie to Boston isn't a consensus yes. This is insane. Kyrie is a PERFECT trade target for the Celtics. Kyrie's fit would be awkward with the core of the team as it's currently assembled. Somebody would have to go. This pains me to say it, but that guy is Isaiah Thomas. As a HUGE IT fan, this kills me to say, however it's the right basketball decision. Isaiah has done wonders for the Celtics in their rebuild, and for the fans of the team. He's a true inspiration. I completely understand why fans would be outraged if he was ever dealt, and they have a right...

Nobody can say that the Patriots' offseason was anything short of absolutely fantastic. They added one of the league's best receivers in Brandin Cooks to an elite passing attack, a shutdown corner in Stephon Gilmore next to a proven Malcolm Butler to beef up the secondary, added two scrappy, tough running backs in Rex Burkhead and Mike Gillislee to arguably the league's best offense, while continuing to make more moves that strengthened the NFL's reigning Super Bowl champs. Oh yeah, and they also kept the greatest Quarterback/coach combination in NFL history. All of this adds up to the perfect season. Why couldn't this team go 19-0? They have the talent to do so if everyone stays healthy, but that won't happen. Even if everyone was healthy in this era of the NFL, no team can go undefeated. As of today, the Patriots are favored in every regular season game, so the oddsmakers are expecting them to go undefeated. But it doesn't work like that. Like previous...
