I’m officially on the Celtics bandwagon. I really like the Sixers and would love to see what they can do vs Lebron and Golden State but I still found myself fist pumping and yelling “SCARY TERRY!” during the game.

Took Butler to 2 national championship games and possibly taking a team without its 2 best players to the finals. Brad Stevens what the fucking fuck.

Ben Simmons needs to learn how to shoot ... Stevens has literally game planned him out of the series

LeBron as a Cav has beaten Toronto 28 of 29 times. If you thought Toronto had a prayer in this series you are a full retard LeBron hater.
Even if he's not the GOAT he is still the second best player in a league that's been around for 72 years. -
I'm just hoping nobody gets to make a similar post about the Rockets.BleachedAnusDawg said:LeBron as a Cav has beaten Toronto 28 of 29 times. If you thought Toronto had a prayer in this series you are a full retard LeBron hater.

D'Antoni doesn't change his system for the playoffs and refuses to adjust during games. Rockets are going to get curb stomped by the Dubs after they spend 6-7 games struggling past Utah.WilburHooksHands said:

Disappointing effort by the Warriors tonight

His coming from down 3-1 against the 73 win defending champs to win the championship is probably the greatest achievement in basketball.UW_Doog_Bot said:
Nah, I'm saying it's the same type of move and if you are making excuses and justifying why one is different than the other it's at best technicalities. Building a superteam vs. joining a superteam isn't much different once the results are in.Gladstone said:
is this a troll? @dnc you upvoted this? edit: chinned? whoosh?UW_Doog_Bot said:Lot of short memory millennial slobber in this thread.
Lebron ditched Cleveland because he couldn't win same as Durant ditching OKC. I don't really care about either of those moves bc modern NBA free agency is what it is but if you are going to hate on the one move and not the other then you're either just a Lebron poofer or a Durant salad tosser.
Lebron is probably the greatest athlete to ever play basketball. Jordan is the GOAT basketball player until further notice.
2007-2008 miami had the worst record in the NBA at 15-67, wade missing the final 21 games
2008-2009 miami finished 43-39, a 7 seed that got blasted in round 1 by the hawks
2009-2010 miami finished 45-37, a 6 seed, lost 1-4 to Boston in the 1st round
We are comparing this to the '16 GSW team that went 73-9 and was a Green ballpunch away from winning a title? The team that blew a 3-1 lead with home court in the finals?
How about the '15 GSW team that won the title.
Is everyone taking stupid pills?
The fact is that he couldn't win where he was so he decided it was better to be with them than against them.
Like, jesus, I don't have a problem calling Lebron one of the greatest but there's a whole host of asterisks on trying to call him THE GOAT. I don't understand how unless you missed decades of basketball before he was playing you can think he's the undisputed BEST. Best athlete, sure, accomplished the most? No fucking way.
It completely ruins the he left Cleveland because he couldn't win it the narrative. He came back and did against the best team in NBA history. -
I picked the wrong night to watch Mitchell

Brad Stevens is a genius
-
The Process is going to need a lot of help because they are going to trail Boston in the foreseeable future

If they can’t beat Boston without Kylie and Gordon how the hell can they beat them when they’re back? I know Philly is young and they should/could get a big bump if Fultz finds his shot, but damn.Tequilla said:The Process is going to need a lot of help because they are going to trail Boston in the foreseeable future
Brad Stevens is a bad dude. -
They have room for a max contract this summer and a lot of tradeable assets. They are, in terms of roster building, about where Boston was last summer. They just have to get it right. Also, the upside on Embiid and Simmons is higher than anyone on Boston. If they keep developing into what they can be they’ll be catching up.Tequilla said:The Process is going to need a lot of help because they are going to trail Boston in the foreseeable future

He’s really good. A rookie in the playoffs, that was bound to happen.RaceBannon said:I picked the wrong night to watch Mitchell

I’m disappointed about Philly. I wanted to see them vs LeBron.
The 76ers actually are young, but nothing is ever a sure thing. The Celtics are almost just as young. The jury is out on Brett Brown. I have no idea how he survived all those 10-20 win seasons.
The mask is fucking with Embiid. He’s a hall of famer if he stays healthy. Big if. Simmons needs a jumper. Fultz has talent, but he does seem like a loser. I like Saric a lot. Covington is an overrated 3 and D guy. The idea of those guys are often better than reality which is that he’s a mediocre shooter with no playmaking skills. -
They need a better 3 and D swingman than Covington. Saric and Fultz should possibly be shopped around. They should look at Kawhi Leonard.allpurpleallgold said:

LeBron isn’t going to Philly. They won’t do that to Simmons. They should because LeBron is a sure thing and Embiid seems like a great fit. Simmons has huge potential, but is not a sure thing like LeBron.
If they added LeBron, make a few trades and you’re a true title contender the next few years. Philly has both cap room and young talent to trade. -
Replacing Covington with Paul George would make sense to me.RoadDawg55 said:

He’s valuable and they have Embiid and Simmons. They start three guys 6’10” or taller. It’s over kill, even though Simmons can guard anyone.dnc said:

I love Saric, but he’s a very valuable piece. One day they won’t be able to afford everyone. They should be active now and go for it next year. The process is over.
