Draymond doesn't lose his mind and get ejected in Game 4/suspended in Game 5 (2016), the loser myth is still intact.RaceBannon said:GS was 1-1 in the finals without Durant and beat the Thunder like a drum
Quite honestly there is no way that GS should not be going for a 4 Peat other then the loser who is being maligned here finding a way to beat them even without Brad Steven's as coach

That was one of 3 in a row they lost to the loserPurpleThrobber said:

The Thunder should have won that series, and it took insane shooting from Klay Thompson, but sure, GS beat them like a drum.RaceBannon said:GS was 1-1 in the finals without Durant and beat the Thunder like a drum

This has nothing to do with LeBron. I’m on board with him being the best or 2nd best player of all time.
Your Stevens obsession is moronic. Every team but maybe GS and San Antonio would trade coaches if they could. Maybe that’s the reason we think he’s a good coach? -

Pop will be done soon, so you could include the Spurs on that list

That's been made clear -
Roadie is right, Thompsons game 6 is what saved that series.

It’s 2018 not 1985. Boston doesn’t have a Hayward replacement. Brown, Tatum and Hayward all start together.RaceBannon said:Gordon Hayward has never won shit and didn't play all year and may not be on the team next year since his replacement is better than him
Irving is injury prone. His greatest value was in leaving Cleveland and sticking them with IT. He may not be a part either.
The guys they have are playing great. You can't over achieve any more than you can give 110%.
You are who you are. Boston is good players, high picks, playing great ball. Its a players league and that's that -
Rox have really eaten dogshit in the 4th this year, this is far from over.

And Utah was better this year after losing him. I mean he played a quarter of the first game this year.

The Pelicans scored 95 points per 100 possessions with Rondo on the court. An abysmal number. The worst of all their starters. Golden State is better, that doesn’t mean Rondo didn’t hurt them. He was one of the biggest reasons why.Tequilla said:
Rondo didn’t kill his team - they got beat by a better team.allpurpleallgold said:
You are describing Rajon Rando and Evan Turner. Bother of whom killed their teams in the series they lost. Can you give me an example of a player that you’re talking about that doesn’t kill his team?Tequilla said:Offense is about creating opportunities for yourself and your teammates.
Shooting spaces the floor and in theory makes it easier for penetration.
Guys that can shoot but can’t create are dependent on others for offense.
If the creators in that system can’t create or more importantly if defenses don’t help to the point of creating opportunities for dependent shooters, then the offense really bogs down.
You don’t need to have all stars. Shooting is obviously valuable. But there are other offensive skills as well.
Marcus Smart fits my description
I love Smart, dude, but he’s going to get 15+ million a season this off season. That’s for a guy that shoots 36% from the field. The reason why is because there aren’t many guys like him. Ariza and Tucker cost a combined 15 million this season. -
Yikes. You don’t think Utah would have been a better team with Hayward? Not good enough to beat Hou sure. And one good argue that Mitchell doesn’t progress to be the best newcomer in league if He is there. But they’d be better if He was still there.RaceBannon said:And Utah was better this year after losing him. I mean he played a quarter of the first game this year.
How He fits in with Boston... Who knows. But getting an All Star in his prime certainly won’t hurt Boston next year. It’s hard to not see Boston in the Finals next year. -
Should the Celtics trade Irving? Seems to me they have enough scoring with Brown, Tatum, and Hayward.
Irving has never been a good defender and he’s strattling the line of being “brittle.” Dude has been hurt a lot. He only has one year left on his contract too.
They probably keep Irving and let Smart and/or Rozier go, but I think it’s something the Celtics are thinking about.
Edit: I thought Rozier was a free agent after this year, but he’s not. They let Smart go and roll with Irving another year with the full squad. -
I’d be shocked if they didn’t bring Smart back. He’ll be an asset you can trade if you have to as long as no one goes crazy with an offer.RoadDawg55 said:Should the Celtics trade Irving? Seems to me they have enough scoring with Brown, Tatum, and Hayward.

I’d just keep everyone together for next year and see how it goes. I’d rather win one and then have to make the tough decisions then come up a Kyrie Irving short in the Finals. -
What is this how does he fit nonsense? I feel like some of you haven’t watched an NBA game in 10 years. He starts. Irving, Brown, Hayward, Tatum and Horford. Or Rozier for Kyrie if you want to trade him.salemcoog said:

Kevin Durant has 1 assist total through 2 games. Westbrook is the ballhog though.

I’m hearing they will only need 2 more victories to get to the FinalsCuntWaffle said:Whoever wins game 3 will have an advantage

Rondo had a great Game 3 in the only game that they won. He was largely exposed the rest of the series for a multitude of reasons. He was a significant factor against Portland. You better have some elite elements to your game if you aren’t a great shooter. A younger Rondo was. Today it’s hit and miss as age is undefeated.allpurpleallgold said:

As for Smart, his best fit is with Boston. He will likely be asked to do more than he is capable of doing if he signs big elsewhere. His role with Boston maximizes his skill set -
I think Rozier is a RFA
I doubt Boston would trade Irving unless Phoenix is stupid enough to give up the #1 pick -
Why would I think that when they weren't? He's a great fit for Boston thoughsalemcoog said:

Larry Bird was the ugliest motherfucker in the NBA. Hayward is a pretty boy.
