    The Celtics are about to win a second round playoff game without there first, second and fourth best players. That’s assuming you have Brown rated higher than Tatum (which I do) and Irving rated higher Rozier (questionable). Brad Stevens is a god.

    Low bar

    This is breaking nicely for the Cavs. They own the Raptors and Celtics

    I think Bron runs outta gas the next round. Hard to see anybody doing what He’s done for another 3 weeks to get to the Finals. I still think the Sixers get their shit together and take out the C’s despite tonight.

    I long ago thought LeBron would slow down. At this point nothing would surprise me. He openly admitted he was extremely exhausted and hadn't even thought about Toronto yet. I'll predict the Cavs get annihilated by like 40 in game 1 but split the road openers and ultimately win in 6/7.

    Where's @Fire_Marshall_Bill for the pickem?

    For the NBA? Jesus Christ no...fucking ball hogs, AAU fags with little fundamentals, and lazy fucks who camp out at the 3 point line. I wouldn't waste the time and effort. Unrelated: Whenever I tune in a game it's the Celtics 90% of the time..it's weird.

    If the Sonics still existed and were good, I might give it a passing thought.

    I'd go Irvin, Heyward, Horford, Tatum, Brown, Rozier but it's highly debatable for sure.

    At this poont with Pop on the down side of his career Brad Stevens is the best coach in the NBA.

    if the GSW are able to do what they should do this Season, which is win an NBA Championship, it's Steve Kerr. Getting a bunch of try hards out of the 1st round in a "loaded East" isn't enough for me.

    How many rings does Brad Stevens have?

    I like Kerr a lot and I'd put him at #3, and in the first tier. If I'm buying a team and I can steal either one I'm taking Stevens over him though.
