Why the Maine Celtics haven't played in Mexico City, Boston since 2015
At least some in Maine have shown interest, but it's been a decade since a Celtics squad at any level has played in Mexico. Could that change?

It's been a decade since the Boston Celtics have played an NBA Mexico game, and the Maine Cs have never played the Capitanes heading into their fifth season despite growing popularity of the team here in Mexico, so I asked why. This is what I learned.

Not in the US, so here, it's just 'jueves'.

And to be clear, I don't mind conversations w refs abt plays in dead ball situations -- and complaints about blown calls at the podium. If it's worth it, risk the fine. If it's not, focus on the game.
There are very few scenarios where I hope JT and JB don't rub off on young players. But, this is one of the rare ones. Glad Hugo isn't a complainer.
Note how Hugo just got TRUCKED and spent exactly 0 seconds crying about it

this team being a top-ten offense makes no sense, and that half even less so, but I'll take it!

Surprised JB did not get ejected for the wave at the end of that exchange given what we've seen guys bounced for recently
