2017-18 NBA (Playoffs): A gasping, wheezing thread begs message board poster arguing how Jordan never lost a Finals to just let it die in peace (5 Viewers)

Celtics 7-39 from 3pt?  Goodness.  Tatum was the only young Celtics player out there that didn't look scared to ####.

I could see liking the Celtics (aside from Smart), as long as they aren't playing the Cavs. Tatum is really impressive, I have no hard feelings against Kyrie, and I like Heyward. Smart can eff off, and Horford has never impressed me, particularly during his Hawks days. All that being said, it's a group that could be easy to root for.

Yeah, but Boston. 

 
Good god, Golden State -6 on the road for game 7?  Has that ever happened before in the history of the NBA?  Road team favored by 6 in a playoff Game 7???

Jesus...... 

 
Funny how a game against a depleted Boston, who laid an egg, has cemented LeBron's goatness.  Boston was what 100 - 1 before the playoffs started?

Not that he isn't btw, but I love how that somehow sealed if for many.

 
The current thread title deserves some +likes.  :yes:

2017-18 NBA (Playoffs): overweight man sitting on sofa mumbling to himself about how he could shoot free throws AND officiate better than what he’s seeing on tv

Well, he did go to Duke, and that never helps someone's cause. :P

Note: I am assuming you meant "unlikeable."

Just 16 months ago Coach K had Tatum on a college basketball roster with another lottery pick and two other first round picks. They also had a senior big man who was on the Wolves postseason roster and also Grayson Allen. They finished fifth in the ACC.  This will never not be funny to me.

People were saying that before that draft too, which is what makes it worse.  Like you said, even if Fultz becomes a top 10 PG, he still doesn't fit with Simmons.  Tatum could fit on any team in the league IMO.

Not saying I would be the best GM but I would never trade with the Celtics, Patriots or the Spurs. 

Not today.

 
LeBron should just buy a goat farm to put this debate to rest. It wouldn't have to be all that big. 100 acres with 20-30 goats and a couple man crew would probably get it done. Might even turn into a profitable enterprise

 
Random trivia question that means absolutely nothing:

Pop has coached the Spurs since 1996. Who was the first player to score 50 points against one of his teams?

This.  The Cavs get swept and LeBron leaves.  Enjoy this while you can Cav fan.

I think most of us have had difficulty enjoying this. Which sucks. Knowing what may loom while also not thinking this team has a chance to win. We should be enjoying this more, but we aren't. The post trade deadline honeymoon and the Toronto series have really been about it.

Go away. You suck. You are the only dude in Cleveland that didn't want LeBron back.

I'm enjoying it. Let tomorrow take care of itself.

 
I read somewhere yesterday, that at the 38 minute mark if last night's game, LeBron hit 10,000 more minutes played than any other player since he entered the league.

That number is staggering. That's about 2.5 full regular season's if you played every minute of those 2.5 seasons. He's inhuman.

That is the thing that doesn't seem to get talked about: his conditioning.  Yeah, he's a physical freak of nature, but the way he takes care of himself and the shape he stays in is unreal.

No kidding. Eight straight championship series. Think about how little rest his body has gotten every year compared to every other player since he’s been in the league. I’m old enough that I got to see Magic vs. Bird as a little kid, then Jordan and now LeBron. LeBron is every bit as good as any player I’ve ever watched. Trying to compare them is silly, they were all the best of their time. It’s just fun watching him and there’s no other player like him right now.

I thought that was so ridiculous too. How are you going to try that on Lebron freaking James. 
Click to expand...
Yeah, I saw that and it made Cleveland winning that much better. That and him being from Duke just made it sweeter. I grew up in CT as a big UConn fan and I hate Duke. It’s awesome to think about how many McDonald’s All-Americans roll through there and we’ve still got more titles in the past 25 years. Coach K is overrated. Last three years loaded with talent and the best you can do is one final eight?

Dude played all 48 minutes last night.  Crazy.

And the offense ran through him almost the entire time.  This isn't some spot up shooter waiting for a kick out.  Incredible exertion for those 48 minutes and still able to attempt a layup with Morris almost tackling him from behind at the very end.

I thought this was pretty amazing. He has 10k more minutes (regular season and playoffs) than any other player since he was drafted.

Based on an 82 game regular season, and 48 minute games (I'm not including overtimes)--that is equivalent to him playing more than 2.5 regular seasons worth of minutes more than the player that has played the second most minutes in that draft. That's pretty amazing.

Read somewhere their offer will be in the 4/$55 range. Pretty sure they'll match up to $15per. I've watched Wyc Grosbeck closely since the Brooklyn deal (still relatively new back to Boston) and get the sense Celts ownership is less enthusiastic than some about giving in to the luxury tax in order to have a championship quality team. Resigning Kyrie will lock them into that for '19-20, but matching any more than $15MM on Smart will mean they at least lose Baynes and risk going into luxury jail a year early. The Green might be able to win without him, but i wouldnt like to see them try. After all, he's Maaaacus Smaaaat....
