From play in to nna finals..Omo if Jimmy and spo pulls this off with this depleted rooster, it will be legacy defining.

I think Jaleyn brown wants out of Boston, his performance during this playoffs has been been subpar, almost like he's not focused and be has residual axe to grind from the way he was treated in the off season.

Lastly, while coaching is important, this Celtics are a team of vets, they need to look them in the mirror.
You can't be blowing double digits lead and losing focus all the time.
This would be top 2 carrying jobs in league history.

The run is almost Kawhiesque in 2019.

What makes it such a monster carry job is Jimmy isn't just scoring he's checking the scorer on the other end as well. His conditioning must be insane, guys like Embiid have to watch and learn. When guys start to gas out in the 4th he has an extra gear

I don't blame Jaylen Brown, hearing rumors of being potentially being traded must have pissed him off to a point of no return. The issue now is the Supermax he's expecting only Boston can pay so he most likely has to put his feelings to the side

MJ Jnr wan kill them. Like father, like son. You don’t poke the bear. 😛
Butler is really showing you don't need the 3 ball at all come playoffs. Nice MJ reference. For those that still think the GOAT wouldn't feast today. All you have to do is look at guys like Kawhi, Jimmy then now consider MJ had more moves than these guys and was far more athletic

Warriors fans btw I think Draymond Green is the guy you guys should offload. The way he is dickriding the Lakers is shameless and unbecoming. He was in full fangirl mode the other day and it seems Warriors fans too are sick of his shit

How are you openly pulling for the team that just sent you packing? Where is the competitive pride?

Heat as of now have the better chance of making the Finals. Lakers can still recover. I don't realistically see Celtics winning 4 games out of 5 with 3 of those games in Miami. And even if they win their home record is so atrocious they will likely lose on their court anyway

Lol. I know Lakers can recover but I hope to God they don't. They'd win that Finals if they get there and these Bronsexuals would milk it forever.
It don't matter whether Davies scores 40 every game, they'd tag it a Lebron finals. Them go call am last dance or some fancy shit
In the name of Jesus and whichever God is out there, Lakers must fail

We don argue this one before....
Plus he had siakam who was an ALL STAR that year I think. And lowry wasn't doing badly either.
But you see this team, omo... Beating the bucks and now the celtics as the 8th seed. Kicking out the 1st and 2nd seed( with all their stars fully fit),Nothing comes close to it.

Nigga was even dishing out strategy on how the Lakers can neutralizer Jamal Murray.
And omo, his line of thought was very much on point. I was really pissed.
The fool has some good ball knowledge, he'd make a good coach, he'd also get fired for knocking out his player...

Yeah the Lakers can absolutely recover especially seeing how the Nuggets lost both games in Phoenix in the last round. My prediction which is more faith than definitive is that the Nuggets cannot possibly lose 4 out of the next 5 games. They have to be adamant on winning at least 1 game in LA. Whether game 3 or 4. The less pressure the more loose they can play.

You want to win MVP with Bron on the court? Lol. Even Austin Reaves is likelier to win than AD. I don't begrudge Bron winning it since he's the most consistent but these people know if AD is not at his best they don't have a prayer.

Bam is an All star this year so it evens out if you ask me. Actually Siakam was not an Allstar

Don't forget the Heat were the #1 seed last season, they are a phony 8 seed when you look at it really well.

One lowkey observation. They might actually be better without Tyler Herro.

Draymond's basketball IQ is certainly high if he had elite athleticism with that he would definitely have been a top 75er all time

His problem is he can easily be knocked off his square and his ego and emotions will make him a liability for his team.

As far as neutralizing Murray that's very tricky because Murray is a heat check guy. Those are the worst type of scorers to guard. And in Jokic he has an elite screen setter. The types of screens he sets on those dribble handoffs and two man game. Before you beat or go under it he's gone. And once he makes a bucket he will deliberately go back even further and shoot another one. At that point the basket is just like Pacific Ocean.

It was really embarrassing I'm sure Steve Kerr and Steph are tired. The Warriors really should see it as another challenge to win without Draymond. They have nothing to lose and his baggage on and off court is just not worth it. All that hassle for Mr triple single

Are you saying that if AD outperforms Bron like in the warriors series, they won't name him MVP?

Hahaha if you do a poll on Social media on who outperformed who na Lebron go win oh. His hype machine is like them No Limit Tanks. Then considering his numbers in the closeout game will not help ADs case

The thing is the way Lebron racks up stats it will be incredibly hard to outfox him in any individual awards, he's like a smarter version of Westbrook. He can sleepwalk on the court for a half and still do 14-5-5 while a guy like AD fluctuates like NEPA.

The thing with AD defensively he is exceptional and takes no days off. Offensively though his floor is really bad for an elite player. That is what will always count against him

I think this Jimmy's Carry job is more difficult. Losing Tyler herro and Victor oladipo.
8th seed knocking out Giannis juggernauts, and this Celtics team . Omo.

Only Dirk's Carry job is greater beating Kobe/gasol, Durant/Westbrook and LeBron/wade
