  1. Have to tip my cap to the Red Sox tonight-what a huge win! One down, one to go. YANKEES SUCK!
    As far as the "fastest team in the league" statement, I don't care one way or the other. Just want to win.
    Maybe tomorrow John you guys can talk about how GSW managed to sign Horford and come to an agreement with Kuminga.
    Thanks-GO SOX🧦

  2. Stylistically, as a baby-boomer, I would enjoy seeing 'old' school' fast movement(even with less talent), Tommy Heinsohn 'Run Walter Run' ball!

  3. Man I can’t wait to watch Pritchard in this offense, there were times last year where he would make other players look like they were stuck in concrete and that was before they had an emphasis on playing fast. I think if he has teammates to keep up with him it could really elevate his game again
