I'm excited to see what Aston does....well, what Alonso does in his Aston... Newey has stuck these vanes on the intake and they're supposed to smooth the air coming off the driver/cockpit before it hits the rear wing. Will be interesting to see how well that works/doesn't work and if they keep them all season.
I would vote for him over every one of these chucklefucks. Dude gets shit done. In June, the Celtics were at $540M all in (salary + tax) and today, they're at $211M...and tied for 2nd place in the East. This is a lot of Danny Ainge (and some Chris Wallace), but still crazy to see how all these trades affect the team 25 years later: 2000 draft Jérôme Moïso 11th overall 2001 trade Moïso to Philadelphia for 2003 1st Rd Pick 2003 draft Dahntay Jones #20, trade Jones to Memphis for Kendrick Perkins @ #27 2011 trade Perkins to OKC for Jeff Green 2015 trade Green to Memphis for 2020 1st Rd Pick 2020 draft Aaron Nesmith @ #14 2022 trade Nesmith for Malcolm Brogdon 2023 trade Brogdon to Portland for Jrue Holiday 2025 trade Holiday to Portland for Anfernee Simons 2026 trade Simons to Chicago for Nikola Vucevic Left out a bunch of trade parts, but those are the relevant pieces. That 1 terrible lottery pick eventually helped us get 2 NBA titles and is still giving (2027 2nd Rd pick in the Vucevic trade)
Celtics got a legit offensive Center while also going under the 1st apron and cutting their tax in half. Not a massive upgrade on the floor, but absolutely balances out the scoring. Playing DAL and HOU on the road B2B w/o either is going to be a challenge in the immediate future. Little bummed to see Simons go just because he drank that Celtics Kool Aid and got better. Like to think he takes that mindset with him and that improvement benefits him down the line.
Damn, McBride's was an institution. Sounds like it may have been sold and will continue in some way? https://www.facebook.com/groups/357859074303435/posts/25760370380292288/
Was there and rode w/ the group in honor of Alex Pretti beforehand. Was absolutely blown away w/ how many showed up. Only negative was you couldn't hear shit if you weren't on the front side of the berm.
