    So the same LLC that Cohen formed to pay off Stormy Daniels was used for multiple other transactions including $500,000 from a Russian Company and $400,000 from a Swiss Pharmaceutical company right before Trump had an unplanned dinner with their CEO? 

    That kind of seems big. 

    The $200,000 from ATT is kinda interesting.

     

    Let's see.  During the campaign, Trump came out against the ATT-DirecTV merger.

    The simplest answer is that the Tahoe wing of the GOP has lost control of the party.

    The Tahoe wing really believes they still control the GOP,  and soon enough, things will be back to "normal".

    Has Philly been favored in every game this series? They're -6.5 tonight after being -9 on Saturday. Just devastating. I know it's easy to think "Eh, they're young, they'll be back" but this is going to be a tough one to absorb.

    Yes, and Philly was favored before Game 3 not only by -9, but to win the series as well.

    Dickhead Ainge deserves a ton of credit for building a pretty damn good roster.

    If they get to the Finals, I wonder he rethinks continuing to spend all that money on Irving and Heyward. Rozier, Brown and Tatum are a great nucleus.

    Well....they would make pretty decent trade pieces, if all else fails.  

  5. Hmmm. Tonight's lead official:

     

    Quote

    Derrick Stafford, the lead official, can be a hot head and has been quick to call technicals. He has been disciplined for getting into a shouting match with former Celtics assistant Lawrence Frank. He is one of the few refs in the league who favors the road teams. Home teams win just 49% of the games he calls. He averages 39 fouls called per game and 50.8% of those are called on the home team. The Celtics are 8-2 in their last 10 games. He called game 7 against the Bucks and they let both teams play without calling a lot of fouls on either team.

    Agree with most of this.   I do think PHI was over-hyped a bit in part due to the streak at the end of the season.    

    Still, Redick and those other guys have more reg season experience but outside of Bellineil none of them have much deep run playoff experience.    Additionally, they are more periphery guys than say a Horford (wtih a lot of playoff experience)  who has been pretty big for the C's in the playoffs.   He really is a very solid pro who has a big influence on the team.     Heck Illyasova and Bellinelli just got there a couple months ago and aren't really in decision making positions anyway.  

    All that said, it really boils down to BOS having Stephens and PHI not having him.  

    The Celtics have a slight edge in amount of playoff games by player over Philly.  Sure, that number is skewed by a handful of players:

    Playoff games, career by rotation players

    Philly-257 total

    Redick-  95 

    Bellneili-55

    Ilyasova-30

    Johnson-49

    McConnell-7

    Simmons-7

    Saric-7

    Covington-7

    Embiid-7

     

    Boston-279 total

    Morris-13

    Smart-33

    Rozier-31

    Horford-101

    Brown-25

    Tatum-9

    Ojeleye-9

    Baynes-35

    Larkin-11

    Monroe-12

    The Celtics are playing 10 this series, Philly 9 so far.  

    And yeah, Stevens is the difference.

    They're still kids and they played like it last night.   They got up big and started partying like BOS was gonna just lay down.   It was just the 2Q and early in it at that.   They will learn from it and be fine but it may be too late for this season.

    At some point, the kids thing needs tossed aside as an excuse.

    Boston is younger.  And among the regular rotation players, the Sixers have Redick in his 12th season, Belinelli in his 11th, Ilyasova in his 9th and Johnson in his 12th.

    Years of experience, game rotations so far in this series:  59 years for Philly (Simmons, Embiid, Redick, Covington, Belinelli, Saric, Ilyasova, Johnson, McConnell), 47 for Boston (Horford, Tatum, Brown, Smart, Rozier, Baynes, Morris, Ojeleye, Larkin, Monroe)

     

    What has hurt Philly more than anything is that dog-ass schedule they played the last month and a half.  While they can't help the scheduling, they were not helped from feasting on the likes of Charlotte (4 games), Atlanta (2 games) Brooklyn (3 times) and the Knicks (2 games).   From March 1 until the playoffs, they were 20-3.  Of those 20 wins, only 4 came against playoff teams, the three losses were to playoff teams.

    Did everyone know Cohen went to Cooley? I just found this out.  Cooley is famous for being the worst accredited law school in America, so they came up with their own ranking system in which they came out at a humble second, behind Harvard.  

    Worse than this place?
