![]() But he didn't look like that type of player for 43 minutes on Thursday night. ![]() In the past week, Jayson Tatum added a fourth-place MVP finish and a second consecutive All-NBA First Team appearance to his resume. Here are some key takeaways from the game: Tatum saves his reputation Now, they'll have to head back to Boston and win a Game 7 on the road if they want to get back to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2001. They shot 36.1 percent from the field and went 8-of-34 from 3-point land. The Sixers, much like the Celtics in Game 5, picked a bad time for a brutal offensive showing. Marcus Smart, in particular, delivered with 22 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. The good news for him was he got plenty of help to keep the Celtics in the game until he showed up. Tatum finished with 19 points, nine rebounds and six assists on 5-of-21 from the field in one of the strangest games we've ever seen from a star. The had only made one shot entering the final five minutes, but drained four 3-pointers down the stretch to help the Celtics pull away for good. Neither team seemed all that interested in winning the game, and they traded missed shots and turnovers for the majority of the frame. The Sixers surged back into the game late in the second quarter, then took a slight lead heading into the fourth, which set up a fascinating finish.Īs it turned out, the final 12 minutes were some of the worst basketball we've seen all postseason. They pushed the advantage to as much as 16 in the second quarter, but were unable to hold on to it for very long. With their backs against the wall, the Celtics came out with all sorts of intensity on both sides of the ball, and had a double-digit lead after just a few minutes. The action will now shift back to Boston for a win-or-go-home showdown on Sunday. It wasn't easy, and it certainly wasn't pretty, but the Celtics outlasted the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 6 on Thursday night, 95-86, to even the series at 3-3. But you better be SURE that you can get a true all star if you save the asset cupboard for the summer.The Boston Celtics have forced a Game 7. Don’t necessarily have to trade to compete in the playoffs. Overall this team is currently good regardless. That’s even if ainge sells to you, Morey’s offer might not be the best if other teams are in on it. ![]() But to get him, you might have to not make an impact move until the summer. The problem is Ainge still isn’t selling, and you might have to wait until the summer to do it. The guy is a blue chip star and would complete this team, he also makes exactly as much as Morris. The perfect scenario is a trade for Markannen. Obviously you can also try to acquire LaVine, but then you lose the little bit of toughness and size that Tobias can SOMETIMES show. How effective is Tobias as a spacer though, if sometimes he passes up open shots. A Tobias Siakam swap would be interesting to explore, basically swapping spacing for length and defense. I’m not a Tobi hater, I think he’s an average 3rd option offensively but his impact on defense is so inconsistent. Right or you could exchange Tobi for a player who might fit better on this team. ![]() Basically adding a true rotation player who takes nothing away from you on offense in exchange for a guy who prolly won’t play in the playoffs. In terms of player acquisitions, you could add Anunoby for Morris’ contract. Like I guess there might be opportunity cost in some ways if you buy early.

That means that the focus can remain on the puzzles themselves, almost all of which make absolute sense within this world. There is no laborious item combining within the inventory screen, and developer Double Fine never allows Manny’s jacket to become overstuffed with doodads. The game’s inventory management is equally brilliant: Manny reaches into his suit jacket and cycles through each item one at a time. (The PC version of the remaster comes with a point-and-click scheme, but Grim Fandango is at its most personal when you use direct controls.) It’s a lovely solution to a genre-wide design issue, yet so uncommon that it feels utterly fresh. Instead, you steer Manny directly using either the original's tank controls or an updated scheme in which Manny moves in the direction you push, and his bony head turns to look at the people he can speak with and the things he can collect as you pass them. You do not swipe a cursor around, hunting for interactive objects. Playing Grim Fandango Remastered, however, might make you wonder why point-and-click adventures didn’t more frequently crib from its pages. Ske-bee bop, bop! Ske-bee bop, bop! Woman? The phone is for you.”) What happens in Rubacava stays in Rubacava.īut what about the play? Returning to an old game can make you appreciate advancements that have since come. Manny’s surname itself refers both to actual skulls as well as to humorous poems that honor the dead, which makes a scene in which he attempts a bit of beat poetry particularly wonderful. It’s a fitting tone, considering how Dia de Muertos invites us to celebrate those that have passed by remembering how they made us laugh. I'm a mechanic,” it’s hard not to be moved. Glottis may be good for some lighthearted comedy, but he’s not the butt of the joke when he tells Manny, “I don't want to be a pianist any more. The game is both funny and gentle: even the most mercurial residents of this world are allowed their dignity, and the adventure is better for it. Every situation is steeped in humor, but the chuckles rarely come at anyone’s expense. You needn’t know about Grim Fandango’s cultural significance to grow attached to its characters. It’s as if Manny and his skeletal friends have leapt from a José Guadalupe Posada drawing, or perhaps just escaped a particularly joyous Day of the Dead celebration. In its illustrations, the holy Codex Borgia depicts Mictlan as teeming with surreal wildlife and grotesque deities Grim Fandango looks to Mexican celebration Dia de Muertos for its primary artistic inspiration, however. Manny encounters obstacles (this is a puzzle-adventure, after all), but few are quite as deadly as knife-wind, though there are dangerous flaming beavers to contend with. This is Mictlan, the afterlife through the eyes of the Aztecs, who envisioned that path as being filled with deadly obstacles like winds made of razor-sharp blades. Glottis is Manny’s closest friend, but there’s room in his life for other demons-and more than a few souls who have wandered off the four-year path to the ninth underworld. “But they can’t get in the high roller’s lounge, now can they?” Underworld noir. “The doctors made me promise I wouldn't do it any more,” he says, when Manny confronts him. As Manny flees his job in pursuit of the beautiful and skinless client who has captured his heart, he surrounds himself with an eclectic array of kooks, including the obese and naive Glottis, a demon mechanic prone to betting on cat races. They’re all skeletons-most dead people are, of course-but they’re more human than most video game characters. Manny is a travel agent in the land of the dead, where he suffers the arrogance of a cocksure co-worker and the disrespectful gaze of a corrupt boss. You can thank Manny Calavera for that warmth, which may come as a surprise given that he’s cold and buried. Grim Fandango has always stood tall as one of the PC adventure greats, and the deft storytelling and warm humor that made it so inviting remain evergreen. Language and culture may change, but empathetic characters and great stories never fade from fashion. ![]() ![]() Some elements of art are timeless, however.
