lol being able to be a contender and then throw it away in a trade.
I'm talking about the Celtics btw
haha
wheres Lngrrrr to regulate this thread
good thread
good, i was gonna say the nuggets have never been contenders.
Uhm...
Call me back when we stop losing to ty teams.
Seriously, everyone knows I'm bugged about the Perkins trade, Ainge talking about how Shaq and Jermaine would carry us when they've played only320 games or so combined this season. That said, we got a decent record without Perkins, and last year we made it to Game 7 after going 27-27 (or something similar) after the ASB.
Feel free to figure out which parts of this post are fact, which are optimism, and which are both.
And Tommy Heinsohn is without peer.
tbh, none of the contenders are looking all that great now except for the Lakers. I wouldn't sweat it.
Feel for ya, LnGrrrR. Y'all really are becoming Spurs West.
Who needs size when you've got jumpshooting white boys?
What a terrible trade. Don't give a damn about whether they could re-sign him or not, it's better to lose him in free agency with another ring than replace him with what they did.
I wouldn't call the Celtics "Spurs West" yet. Unlike San Antonio the Celtics really do know how to turn it on in the playoffs and it all starts with their defense. Last year Boston looked like in the regular season and then put on one of the most impressive playoffs runs I've ever seen. They damn near took out all the best teams without home court advantage. They're looking like crap now but I don't expect them to look this way in a month. Even without Perkins they're going to be a force.
This Spurs core has won 3 championships, I am pretty sure they know what the playoffs are about and how to "turn it on" during them...
These Spurs ain't the "Spurs". This is what they've become.
I said the Celtics really were becoming Spurs East (is what I meant) because the Spurs used to always have the defensive size - until Robert Horry came along and contaminated Pop's brain.
He's become infatuated with floor-spacing at the expense of D. Somehow his greatest takeaway from Horry was his 3-point shooting and not the off-the-charts basketball IQ and all-around intangibles/game he possessed within a team concept. And when Horry left the stage Bonner was selected for the role - he can really shoot the 3, so long as you don't close out on him (which never ing happens in the playoffs, am I right?).
Boston's looking like they're becoming Spurs East, they're just about where the Spurs were in 08-09, not 10-11.
That Spurs core is far removed from 2005-2007. Duncan isn't even close to what he once was and I doubt he's going to suddenly become an 20/10 player in the playoffs. He can't sustain that kind of level for a long period of time. And to make matters worse SA's defense (the main reason they won those les) is pretty much non-existent these days...not anything like the 2005-2007 team. I doubt they're going to flip a switch and suddenly start playing world class defense...especially with no legit bigs in the paint.
Well that's a different argument. I am not sure this Spurs team has enough to win it either but what you said was "unlike the Spurs the Celtics really do know how to turn it on in the playoffs" That makes no sense because if anyone knows how to turn it on it would be the Spurs... whether or not they have enough talent to win it all remains to be seen but they definitely know what they are getting themselves into. Where is your evidence saying the Celtics know how to turn it on during the playoffs but the Spurs don't... not like we have 4 championships to show that we do.. oh wait.
320 games between them? Workhorses...
Last year?

LOL at a ing Lakers fan calling another teams fans idiots. Have you ever been to a Laker game? The combined IQ of all the beans sitting in the 300 level is around 20.
But the beer consumption is legendary! Gotta pay that league high payroll somehow!
The Celts will be just fine, they got the best PG in the entire world, and in a few more years, the best to play the game, ever. The sole human that plays the PG position better than any other human to ever live.
