had them boys locked down.

Damn, that was impressive.

I can't even remember the last time the Mavs had a true Center worthy of start status. 2011 maybe? I can't even remember.

Literally yes

fuckin tyson chandler

Tyson Chandler "Am I a joke to you?"

Tyson Chandler "Am I a joke to you?"

Yea, I remember Tyson Chandler which is why I brought up 2011 but I couldn't remember if there was a Center I forgot between then and now. Its crazy to me the Mavericks have gone over a decade without a legit starting Center. Some teams have Centers out the ass, Mavs can't seem to get one or don't want one.

Tbh in the modern NBA are there many good centers? Playing video games as a kid in the 2000s/2010s always remember there was a starter on most teams you'd never heard of. It was the center. Howards and Hibberts were exceptions but for like say 25 of the teams in the leagues that was the reality. It's a PF league now centers are just big tall guys.

They're making a little bit of a comeback I think but they're the RBs of the NBA where they used to be the main characters and they just aren't anymore.

Unless you count Horford who really isn't a true C, the best Celtics center for the decades between Robert Parish and Timelord probably was Kendrick Perkins lol

I get what you are saying. In the past the game was more geared around Centers and now it isn't, however, the problem arises when you don't have one and other teams rape you in the paint. Zubac destroys the Mavs every time they play the Flerps and he isn't even that good. We use Dwight Powell but he's dwarfed by real Centers and the Mavs can't get any rim protection. What I'm saying is, you need the Centers for defense, whereas in the past you used them for offense and defense.

Lol i just looked at the box score of this Celtics Bucks game. No Tatum/Brown/Smart/Hortford and yet it's 70-70 with Mike Muscala being the leading scorer.

Not too shabby

Now big men need to shoot. My man Boogie Cousins did work

 

[Fugazy]

Fucking Celtics Gleague squad pushing my Bucks to the limits

 

[INeedARemedy]

Damn that was a bummer, should've at least been able to get a shot up

Also, even though the Bucks won, not sure how great you feel after letting Grant Williams and Mike Muscala take you to overtime, with a shot at winning on the last possession

This the same Celtics team that's lost to the Magic Twice , nobody at the top is looks dominant.

Great game none the less. Everybody shoots so many damn threes now you never truly know how these games will go.

 

[Corona]

Lmao at the celshits best player tonight being Devin shite. Surprised they didn’t lose by more.

 

[Vogg]

I wouldn't put much stock in a regular season nba game. Bucks in 5 if they're healthy vs the celshits

C’s in 6. Cucks have too many one way players. Give up too many wide open looks.

 

[skysolo]

Steve Kerr's coaching this season has been strange. Did he think he was going to win against the Clippers by playing Anthony Lamb and Ty Jerome 20 minutes a piece?

As long as Tatum can't close out games or shoot over midgets they ain't winning shit

They aren't winning vs the clippers with Corey and Wiggins

I'm not as convinced as you are. The Celtishits have the best record in the league and just forced the Bucks to OT with no Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Al Horford, or Jayson Tatum.
