The Celtics look just like the Spurs

Can you win a championship with no player playing at a superstar level and three of your top four players struggling? I don't see it.

Barring something unforeseen, unfortunately it's more than likely going to be the Lakers and Cavs in the Finals. The Nuggets and Magic look to be the only teams capable of breaking this up. I'd give the Nuggets a better chance than the Magic.

This guy might be my new favorite poster. It's entertaining to see someone argue with himself. First he rants about how the Celtics don't have a chance while saying the only teams capable of stopping a showdown between the Lakers and Cavs in the Finals are the Nuggets and Magic. Then when he lists his top championship contenders, he puts the Celtics ahead of the Magic.

That is just awesome.

You might just be the most ignorant poster on this board, which is saying something. Congratulations.

What's so hard about that to understand? Match-up wise, I think the Magic stand a better chance at beating the Cavs in a series than the Celtics, but if the Cavs were to be eliminated by the Magic (or Hawks, though I can't see it) and the Celtics somehow avoided the Cavs and got the Magic in the conference finals, then I could see them getting to the finals, but I still don't think they'd beat the Lakers.

You're not only copping out, but on top of that you're desperately trying to be funny, even though you're not. A double whammy.

True. I aim to be as funny and as consistent as you.

Well, at least you admit to copping out, which is a rarity. In fact, I don't ever recall someone doing so. I am consistent, you just lack basic reading comprehension.

IIRC, I'm the only one who successfully predicted the fall of the celtics in the pre-season when everyone and their uncle was buying into the "Rasheed hype" that they would be the best defensive team to ever grace an nba court and steamroll everyone including the lakers.

And for the first 9 games they almost lived up to that hype, going 8-1 and holding opponents to extremely low shooting %. But trying to live up to such a ridiculous standard was probably the worst thing they could have tried, given the age and mileage of their core players. They were literally burned out after the first month of the season.

Thanks, Rasheed... your blowhard predictions in no small way helped cement your teams' fate and prove me right. Keep up the technicals and keep chucking those 3's at a horrendous % to make my trifecta perfect. :toast

Arguing with someone who argues with himself is loads of fun. Why don't you explain again how the Celtics can't make the Finals and the Magic can ... yet the Celtics have a better chance of winning a championship than the Magic. It's sure to be a great read.

Who said anything about making the finals? We're talking about winning a championship. If by some chance the Celtics can remain relatively healthy AND avoid the Cavs, then I think they got a shot at getting there and even though I don't like their chances against the Lakers, I like them better than the Magic's. But I like the Magic's chances better against the Cavs. Really, it all just depends on the match-ups, health, plus what happens at the trade deadline, but again, you're focused too much on semantics (look it up). In the end, I don't think either can win a championship this season.

And now we've come full circle back to my original take. I said the Celtics could win the championship. You just pointed out how the Celtics could win the championship.

Thanks :tu

Is this a date?

Taking injuries out of the equation, is it a fair assessment that individually the Celtics have more talented defensive players than the Spurs?

What do you think about Manu and religion?






:stirpot:

celtics are in a better situation because if they get healthy, they can still win it all. The spurs are relatively healthy (notwithstanding parker's pf), but still aren't getting it done.

I had obligations during the hours of the show where I couldn't participate in the festivities. But to earn an ounce of your respect ( since that's obviously my priority) I will call in sooner or later when my schedule and time allows me to.

After listening to a couple of shows the day after one or two of the games, I thought you had some good takes you just sound like a gnome. It's nothing to get defensive about.

Brah, two things:

1) I said that about myself, so obviously I am not defensive

2) Mike Tyson does not sound scary either


If you were busy doing the vagina monologues I understand. Just call in when you get a chance. WTF are you gawking about earning my respect, :lol, thems just jokes.

The real question is how can you be on a show and not know about it? Who are you, Joaquin Phoenix?

Ok, I am done here.
