They owned the WC, including the best defensive team.
That said, if they can't even prevent a sweep, they still underachieved.
BTW, I called Mavs in 6 if the games were close. No need to go hunting for my prediction :lol
Yeah, it does, and to the lion's share of the blame rests with Trump making President. Your side wouldn't accept it and leave it alone. The morning after you swore you'd resist his Presidency at any cost. He was threatened with assassination Day One. Not one leader from your end (Obama!) would...
I'm old enough to remember when the Celtics didn't have Holiday and Porzingis on the cheap and didn't catch far more injury breaks than they incurred (still worthy champions because they're clearly the best team) . . . if you'd have told me that at the time, of course I'd have said retain Brown.
I mean I still don’t believe Jaylen Brown is a super-max caliber guy, but…for the Celtics it’s worked out and it was the right move. They’ve clearly been on the cusp of being a title team for years now, so making a huge change and dealing Brown for picks was just too risky.
Build a team around...
Ok, you feel like you paid too much, too.
Where would you rather live?
Honest question, does the USA totally suck now?
As much as it does suck, I don't think so.
Yeah, pretty funny that this is spun as a “less than ideal” scenario :lol Would be thrilled if Sheppard falls to us at 4. Williams isn’t my first choice at 8 but he’s not melt-down material. *cough*Salaun*cough*
Sheppard/Holland or Sheppard/Carter would be fantastic.
Dallas vs Celtics Game 4.
Specifically 4th qtr.
Some of the most blatant chit i've seen in a while.
Compare the defense that got Doncic fouled out with the defense that rewarded Brown with a charging foul vs Donutcic.
Most drafts end up that way. Nobody sniffed out Manu or Kawhi or Jokic. Sure things are very rare. Most of the time you have to navigate who will handle sudden wealth and still work to improve.
Go ahead and believe that dumbass story. Carlisle is an asshole to everyone lol. Luka’s consistent whining has been enabled by Cuban over anyone else because he himself is a whiner.
I'm old enough to remember when some ST.com posters said Jaylen Brown overrated/wasn't worth his extension/wouldn't be worthy of trying to acquire and how Boston would be forced to blow it up when they couldn't deliver. Jaylen Brown's about to win Finals MVP in a pretty dominating Boston postseason...
Feels like you take two dartboards. Put Shep, Riz and Castle on one and throw your #4 dart. Put Williams, Carter, Dilly and maybe Sal, if the Spurs interest is there, and throw your #8 dart. In a draft this flat, it feels like two random throws has a similar chance of success as weeks of research.
are you retarded? you literally have no idea what youre talking about, most of the issue with carlisle was that he was a jerk to everyone on the team except luka, and just let him do whatever
You can bet your dollars that Boston had all those former Celtics comin' in there hard assing those players. No nonsense, but straight from the gut, demanding deliverance, that a new era could be started here, that could rival anything they ever did.
Won't even like say what he likes about the USA. That might be construed as anti-Trump.
Remember when NPR tweeted the Declaration of Independence on the 4th of July and Trumplandia freaked because they thought it was an attack on the great man?
Very plausible guilty-mindedness here.
