Bruins Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Do NOT count these Celtics out. Are they gonna lose to the Cavs in 5? Yeah, probably, but I wouldn't put a lot of money on it. I'd put a couple bucks, but not a lot. Would Kyrie have done anything that this freakshow Rozier isn't doing? I honestly don't believe so, that's the only reason they're where they are rn. A Boston team hasn't been this likable and widely cheered on since the '04 Sox and they deserve it. Buy in. It's not over. And Ben Simmons' performance tonight was funnier than Kevin Hart's ever been. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

truepg Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 This is what I was talking about. Love showed up. Clarkson and Hood still haven't. Just because the Cavs have been playing like crap in these playoffs, it doesn't make them a weak team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Cavs core has the same amount of miles on them. It's all the more amazing that James stays at this level for the eighth damn year in a row. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Nance can give us production. But I'm totally expecting it from the aforementioned two. If they get it going too, we have a legit chance against GSW.

Look, man. I get that you don't like LeBron, that's okay. But you have to recognize his greatness. I hate Tom Brady, as many of you know. I dislike him about as much as you hate LeBron. But I recognize that he's undoubtedly the best QB of the last 20 years, and probably ever. Don't try to sell LeBron short just cause you don't like him.

Kramerica Industries Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'm not trying to be a flippant jerk when I say this, but this Cavs/Raptors series is yet another exhibit as far as I'm concerned about how completely useless the NBA regular season is. I don't have time to watch too much basketball these days as it is, but I know plenty of people who do and talk about it, and obviously the threads here that I read even if I generally don't post in them, but all the talk about the Cavs being in crisis mode and such and, legitimate as it may have been at the time, I've pretty much been of the train of thought of "yada yada yada I'm expecting them to be in the Finals until someone beats them first". Being a #4 seed, the seasons Toronto and Boston have had, meh, whatever. We've seen this story so many times before. And here we are; Cavs being on the road the first two games? Doesn't matter. I think the last two times they've been on the road to begin an Eastern series, they've won the first two anyway, and they did so again. So we can now confidently brush aside whatever Raptors hype that people were trying to peddle. Probably will say the same about the Celtics or Sixers in a couple weeks time as well.

BBTV Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 For all you idiots that praise Colangelo while disparaging Hinkie, at least Hinkie knew that tanking only worked in the regular season. #idiots #TrustTheProcess "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I actually completely forgot about The 07 Mavs. Don’t know why they aren’t brought up more often as the worst #1 Seed. Because they weren't. They just ran into a Warriors team that got hot at the right time and was led by a coach who rather intimately knew all of the failings and vulnerabilities of the Mavs roster.

Kramerica Industries Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 That Warriors team was also a matchup nightmare for Dallas, and that was well known at the time too. That's easily the least shocking 1/8 upset I've seen in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colangelo built a bench for the Sixers that got them into the second round. Hinkie never would have done that. Somehow, Sixers fans are blind to the fact that the Celtics pick in the top three each year and they didn't have to nuke four seasons to get there. And the Celtics, when healthy, are closer to a championship than Philadelphia. 3 hours ago, Kramerica Industries said: I'm not trying to be a flippant jerk when I say this, but this Cavs/Raptors series is yet another exhibit as far as I'm concerned about how completely useless the NBA regular season is.

The only regular season that really matters is football. But also, sports don't matter and you can't separate the need for their to be a television and in-arena product from the competitive aspect of any sports. Bad teams have to exist; so do random games in February. And, if it comes to Golden State/Houston in the WCF, you don't think GS would prefer to have home court? 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
