hm. Jeff Green? 19pts 8 rebounds on 50% shooting. 3rd best player on the court behind Tatum.

Basically that’s been my point all along. The fact the Celtics won three was impressive, they’re nowhere near as good as the Cavs.
 
There are cans in here and other places that thought Rozier was a good enough Kyrie replacement. Come on now....

Yea its nuts. It reminds me of Magic Johnson. Magic didn't go to 8 straight but he lived in the Finals going 9 times from 1980-91.

  • 1980 - defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (was Finals MVP)
  • 1982 - defeated the Philadelphia 76ers (was Finals MVP)
  • 1983 - lost to the Philadelphia 76ers
  • 1984 - lost to the Boston Celtics
  • 1985 - defeated the Boston Celtics
  • 1987 - defeated the Boston Celtics (was Finals MVP)
  • 1988 - defeated the Detroit Pistons
  • 1989 - lost to the Detroit Pistons
  • 1991 - lost to the Chicago Bulls

Yeah, I guess that was a big performance. Love puts of those numbers every night, though. Tonight showed the Cavs without Love can beat a Celts team playing abysmally.
 
Jeff Green deciding an eastern conference game 7 in 2018 is hilarious. There were points in the game where I'm like why isn't Korver out there? Which says everything that needs to be said about this roster.
 
The NBA fucking sucks nowadays. It's a shitty 3-point shots galore.

Down by 4 with 6 minutes to go and Boston chucking up threes? WTF? 2-point shots are still higher percentage than threes. Rozier had a two and dribbled back to shoot a 3 and miss.

Fuck the NBA. It died after Michael Jordan. And it got unbearable with Stephen Curry and fucking 3-point shooting.

it helps that you form a super team in the east, then s that crumbles, you hope onto another team with the best guard in the conference and being another all-star by trading a rookie.

Lebron has had the best team the past 8 years in the East.
 
This is not really that great an achievement by Lebron. Beat a crap Celtics side who choked, and didn't have their best two players.

Would have been a different outcome if Kyrie was playing and that's a fact, Kyrie ain't going 0/10 from the three point line!
 
Tryon lue pisses me off so bad. FACK!

I hate having to listen to this asshole speak. Unbelievable coaching feat, letting LeBron play the entire game.
 
Ty Lou reminds me of Phillip Green in Casino -- just some random patsy put at the helm that has no idea how it works, but goes along for the ride.

Warriors don't shoot the most 3s. they pick their spots. they play great team defense. they share the ball. they are fundamentally sound.

stop with the narrative. Jordan fucked the NBA for decade. he ushered in hero ball. Iverson, Kobe, T-Mac, and the other less talented players pit the nba in the Dark Ages in early 2000s. it's just now gotten back to matching 80s efficiency. Jordan is the only player to play efficient hero ball, making him GOAT. but 90s and 2000s nba was terrible to watch

what you watched was two flawed teams trying to copy cat a formula that isn't really a formula
 
Is Brad Stevens still a genius ?

they play a system. they defend. they are not reliant on one player. they should have managed to score more than 80 points on a terrible defense.

Well, yea, Magic didn't move from team to team looking for the best deal. I'm not saying Magic was better than Lebron but Magic was also a freak player, one of the greatest of all time, and he too lived in the Finals.

Dude I've never seen worse 3 point shooting in my time.
 
Just realized LeBron never beat an all NBA first team player in that current year in the east to get to the finals. Got damn.

Lol
