Always considered the Celtics a tad bit overrated. Their 3pt spamming don cast. White has regressed and Holiday is gone.

Any team with a half decent big will smoke them as Embiid is showing. Vucevic and Hauser are not stopping anybody

Tatum and Brown have been super inefficient and I can see Nick Nurse outsmarting Mazulla in Game 7. Celtics also have a poor record at home so their home court advantage is nil

Nobody is addressing the stink brewing in LaLa land
Lebron comes back from injury and the chemistry suddenly gets ruined.

I don't think the Lakers can survive fielding three passengers on defense (Lebron, Doncic and Reaves) against a solid team.

We know who has to leave soon.

birdman:
you want it to look like KD was the issue in golden state dont you? There is no proof on this twitter thing, so you are on a long thing there.

And go look again, he is leading the team. They playing different after his open criticisms, not twitter nonsense

birdman:
There is no need to pull down one player to make another look good. KD's issue with a young rockets team is expected.

Another ring wont make Durant crack top 10. Curry in many circles hasn't cracked top 10. I don't see anyone placing a Durant above Curry. Curry and Durant in top 10 is displacing which legends among these 9;
MJ, Bron, Kareem, Shaq, Kobe, Wilt, Duncan, Magic, Russell? I deliberately left Bird and Olajuwon out of the top 10.

You would have to choose one between Curry and Durant to fill in the 10th position and that is the very best shot, no more.

73-9?

Do am if e easy.

GSW were 29-1 after 30 games in 15-16.

He did most of these consistently when you had to work for every point not now when no one can't breathe around you. Dude straight up just comes to play and go home. No flopping, flailing or looking for loopholes in the rule. He just plays.

People need to be realistic abeg.



And for you and your OKC boys, I honestly didn't care too much about you guys last season but good lord what are those boys doing now??
I hope your boys break the Warriors regular season record. I don't think I want you guys to win a championship if you break the record.
The disrespect will be too much. They will come and put asterisks on Steph, Klay and Draymond's legacy

And for real, fans like you deserve to be happy (just a little bit sha) for real. People like us, we be old taker. All my hope in the Warriors died when they let Draymond get away with harassing KD and punching J.Poole.

SmooshCHN:
Broski, we left all that in 2018. We are not kids anymore.

It's 2025; if you're KD, you have nothing in this life and the next to prove to anybody in the World, USA, NBA; let alone NL concerning basketball.

Anyone seriously bringing up this topic has to be doing it for clout or TV time. It can't be a real conversation. It can't.

larride:
They should cash out the only player thats actually balling for them.

Make sense.

Night after Night Harden shows up, its not his fault if the other bums that surround him can't hit a nickel even if their lives depend on it.

Tmac is better than Luka will ever dream of lol. With today's rules, Tmac go dey drop 40 nightly. Not to mention with his wingspan he was a naturally good defender. What part of the game will you say Luka is better than tmac other than shooting higher clip at the 3 pt line

You get the point that I never made. I was never sold on the Butler trade—credit to him, he’s been impressive—but we still have no interior defense. Steven Adams absolutely feasted on the offensive glass. As if we could just Playoff Jimmy our way to championship. To make matters worse, Steph and Draymond looked like they couldn’t wait to be done with the series—playing irritated right from tip-off. We had no business letting this series go to a Game 7. At this point, I’d honestly rather see the Rockets advance. I don’t want to give myself any false hope this season.

Roland17:
He is the most protected superstar in the history of the league. He gets a pass for consistently underperforming every post season. Post 2021, what has he achieved? No other superstar has enjoyed the litany of excuses that is continuously being made for this man.

He got Bud fired, turned down N. Nurse because, approved the trade of D. Holiday for another scam in Lillard (not any different from Booker), anointed A. Griffin, only to publicly embarrass him on National TV before subsequently getting him fired.. All for what? One measly ring!

A player that has not improved any aspect of his offense since he became an All Star in this league. Can’t shoot a FT, no jumper, 0 footwork under the rim, no floater, blanks 3s.. only offense is flat track bullying people with the refs on his side..

When is he going to carry this team in their worst? We have blamed everyone but the common denominator!

larride:
Are you players injured or they are just not in playoff mood?

Notice Jaylen Brown has been dipping for sometime and Tatum is just on and off. I hope this is just a one off game though because Brown, Tatum and Porzingis has 16pts between themselves in first half. Derek white is carrying this game so far.

A40:
Are you trolling? I'm having a hard time taking you seriously.

You're essentially admitting that this is an inferior era of basketball. Good on you. Maybe you're seeing the light after all, cos if Luka can be a 5x All NBA player at 26 then this really is a mediocre era of ball.

Lmao at T-Mac being a naturally good defender. Mr Man Luka took his team to the Finals. Tracy McGrady did not make it past the first round even with Yao Ming.

Luka is a better rebounder and much better passer. You ranking T-Mac over Luka is a criminal indictment on this era of basketball
