Podcast appearances and mentions of Al Horford

After an offseason hiatus the Celtics PRIDE team is back to discuss all of the offseason items that mean far less than they seem.  After trying to avoid the Durant rumors as much as possible, Adam, Josh and Mike review the recent scuttlebut and give their thoughts on Durant, the risks involved in bringing him to any organization and the potential packages the Celtics could ship out.  Then they switch gears from a player who puts himself first to a guy who had a “team ego.”  Josh compiled some of the most impressive statistics about Bill Russell and plays a game to identify which one is most impressive.  Is it his blocked shots, minutes per game, number of rings, his record in must win games or MVPs?   The Podcast content turns to training camp contracts for Noah Vonleh and Bruno Caboclo and the Celtics' attempts to find a big man who can be a legitimate backup to Al Horford and Rob Williams. Coach Josh has some inside scouting knowledge on Vonleh going back to Vonleh's High School playing days and has more optimism on Caboclo than any reasonable human should at this point. The PRIDE guys then look at the Celtics' preseason schedule in October.  Before ending, Mike and Josh tease a long rumored segment from Josh… a ranking on the NBA coaches most likely to win in a fight.  That and more on this week's episode of Celtics PRIDE.

The Minnesota Timberwolves made the biggest move of the offseason by trading Patrick Beverley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, Leandro Bolmaro, Walker Kessler, 3 first-round picks, and a pick swap to the Utah Jazz in exchange for Rudy Gobert. The move signified the start of a new wave in Minnesota; Big Ball. Now the idea of having two bigger front court players isn't as much of a novel concept in today's NBA as many claim it is. Cleveland runs out a lineup including Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, Memphis deploys Steven Adams and Jaren Jackson Jr. in their front line together, Indiana had Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis next to one another for years, and the reigning runner-up Boston Celtics had Al Horford playing next to Robert Williams III. Of course, none of those duos are a perfect 1:1 match for the Towns and Gobert pairing, but it does put away the notion that a two-big lineup is unheard of and cannot work. On today's episode of Bleav in Timberwolves, hosts Brendan Hedtke and Doug West are back from their busy summer of coaching high school hoops and are ready to dive into some Wolves talk. The pair breaks down their thoughts on the Gobert trade and how he seems to fit with the Timberwolves on both sides of the ball. Then, Brendan and Doug looks at the additional moves the Wolves have made, including the signing of Bryn Forbes, Austin Rivers, and Eric Paschall. Finally, they look at the projected win totals for the Timberwolves and discuss if they believe the line is a fair one, taking into consideration all of the factors that will be in play next season.

Yo! Welcome to the That's Ball Folks! Podcast - I am incredibly hyped to have you here. This week I talk about the worst movie experience I've ever had in my entire life, the Donovan Mitchell trade sweepstakes, why Miles Bridges should have played his last game in the NBA, the whole JJ Redick vs Jerry West beef, why I'd hate KD on the Celtics *hint hint it has something to do with Al Horford* & more. - New episodes drop weekly - Follow me on Instagram & Twitter @Thatsballfolks_ - Daily content & weekly giveaways - LFG

Celtics PRIDE: The Dog Days of Summer The “dog days” of summer are here, and when there isn't huge news in CelticsLand, the Celtics Pride Team likes to get in touch with their creative side and bring topics of their own.   First up on this episode of the Celtics Pride Podcast, Josh and Adam reveal Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens' Red Sox Player Comparison. If you thought NBA player comparisons of draft prospects was difficult, try crossing over sports to find who the Celtics' GMs would play like. Adam continues the analogy by comparing Danny Ainge to someone who flips houses, after looking at the Rudy Gobert trade in Ainge's new position with the Utah Jazz - and the Kevin Garnett trade before it that brought Boston Banner 17. Adam then continues with speculation about which team Ainge is likely to trade Donovan Mitchell to, and how Ainge's relationship with Miami Heat executive Pat Riley impacts the Heat's chances of landing Donovan. Coach Josh then makes the case that Malcolm Brogdon is the Celtics clear third best player. The list for this honor obviously includes Marcus Smart, Al Horford, and the Timelord, Rob Williams. Josh goes as far as saying Brogdon could be the best point guard on the Celtics team, even after Marcus Smart led the squad to the finals in his first year as starting point guard. Adam responds by questioning if we should be afraid of Smart playing the 2, with his history of questionable shot selection.   The pride guys then give final notes on the Celtics' summer league team signees by sharing a 1-10 rating of how excited they are about JD Davison, Sam Houser, and Mfiondu Kabengele. They give a couple notes on Matt Ryan, Luke Kornet, Trevion Williams, Broderick Thomas, and regrettably leave Juhann Begarin absent from the conversation.  Check it all out, and more, on this week's Celtics PRIDE.

The Celtics got impressive performances from JD Davison, Mfiondu Kabengele, and Juhann Begarin to end the summer, but no one should be safe from a trade. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal discusses why the Celtics should be open to moving these guys for the right immediate help. Also, an abbreviated Mailbag Monday gets us a question about Al Horford as player/coach. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Brad Stevens makes a big signing and HUGE trade on day 2 of free agency.

Mike and Jim reflect on the game 6 loss and series to the Warriors and what befell the Celtics. What cost the Celtics, and what do they need to improve to get back to another finals and next time win it. The hosts look back on the unlikely and gratifying Celtics turnaround and title run, and look ahead to the offseason.

That's a wrap on the NBA Finals! The Knuckleheads discuss the big Warriors win and dissect the crucial moments of this championship series. The guys give their takes on what the future holds for both teams, whether the Warriors classify as a dynasty yet, and what NBA players they look forward to watching next year.

The Celtics came out firing tonight and started the game off with a 12-2 lead. Everything seemed to be working for the first 4 minutes lol. Then the Warriors went on a ridiculous 35-10 run including a 21-0 run in the mix that completely shut the Celtics out. Turnovers remained an issue as the Warriors scored 20pts off our 23 turnovers (which is the second most in an NBA Finals Game). The Celtics also gave up 15 offensive boards tonight which drives me crazy considering the size of the lineup we roll out. We got really solid contributions tonight from JB (scored 34 of the teams 90pts), Al Horford (19pts 14reb) and Timelord (5blocks) but it was the other guys that set us up for failure. Jayson Tatum is an extraordinary talent in this league but he was bad tonight. He scored only 13pts on 6-18 from the field with 5 turnovers. Tatum needs to be better in these big spots. Our bench was also a huge negative tonight. Grant, White and Pritchard combined for just 5 pts and gave the Celtics almost no good minutes which really hurts considering how good they've been throughout this season.

Robert Horry opens the show this week with a random conversation about who is the best Batman, and who was the best Joker... which leads to a conversation about classic movie soundtracks and iconic movies that we've never seen. Plus Rob talks about his trip to New York for the NBA Finals party, and meeting rappers and performers that knew who he was but he didn't know them because he's an old man now. Rob also has advice for Al Horford and the Celtics, and lays out exactly what they need to do to win the NBA Finals - and in turn where Draymond Green's attitude on the court pays off, and where it hurts the Warriors. And Rob does NOT agree with Draymond's sentiment that he has earned preferential treatment. Plus Rob thinks the addition of Rasheed Wallace to the Lakers coaching staff will pay big dividends for Anthony Davis, even if they don't get along. And does Rob ever get recognized out in public, Aaron Donald's pay raise, an inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and an NBA Finals edition of the NBA Emoji Game!

On tonight's episode, the Gastro Gang is back in full force and Dan, Emily and Steve discuss the Sixers officially having the 23rd overall pick in this year's NBA draft.

They also discuss the news of the day: Utah Jazz longtime head coach Quin Snyder stepped down. Will the Sixers now fire Doc Rivers and hire him instead? Probably not. But still fun to dream. Then, finally they talk about the NBA Finals, and how the Sixers have been tangentially brought up in recent days as one-time Sixer Al Horford had a tremendous Game 1 for the Boston Celtics. Was Horford really all that bad in Philly? Did the Sixers make a mistake moving off of him after one season? Subscribe to our YouTube channel here! Rate, subscribe, review, follow and enjoy.

The Celtics allowed Steph Curry to go off for 21 first quarter points and they lost the third quarter to the Golden State Warriors by 14, but they went on a fourth quarter run fueled by Jaylen Brown, Al Horford, Derrick White, and Marcus Smart on their way to a 40-16 final period and a big win in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. John Karalis discusses that, the defensive adjustment on Steph Curry that helped slow him down, Jayson Tatum's bad shooting but good everything else night and more.
