DoctorWhom Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Like I said, if it wasn't the Warriors they lost to, I'd be a lot more content. Was really hoping this would have been a Mavs - Celtics or Suns - Celtics Finals. But it's what it is. Celtics really just beat themselves this series, which has been an issue for them the entire playoffs. Too many turnovers and dumb chucking in crunch time. If not for those things, they really had a great shot at winning. Tatum & Brown are great B+ players, but they need to be A+ players to win, that or the Celtics need to find a guy that can take the pressure off them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when the Warriors win a title, the gravity is still on LeBron and LA. This season sucked. Turn the page. You’ve really made all of this so SO much sweeter.

who do you think Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I'd much rather be Seattle or Utah, losing to an established dynasty, then be the team that cedes a title to the Chris Paul chokebillies or some other fraud squad (which is the term I would probably be using to refer to this Celtics team if they were not wearing green jerseys).

Dynasty Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Didn't watch; didn't need to. I knew the eventual outcome. I'm just surprised the NBA season finished before the NHL's. That doesn't seem to happen very often... at least not in this decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough talk from a fan of a franchise that has won just a single title since the Reagan administration (and that title would not have happened had former 80’s Celtics players not been the GM’s who just so happened decided to trade their sole star players to Boston of all teams, for peanuts back). The current Golden State Warriors are still two titles away from reaching the amount of Lakers titles I’ve seen with my own eyes, FYI. No true Laker fan has been living vicariously through them. In fact, this was the first Finals I ever cheered for Golden State, like most Lakers fans. 2 hours ago, DoctorWhom said: The NBA was so much better when Lebron & the Warriors weren't winning every year. Didn’t the Bucks just win last year? And then the Raptors two years before that? Sounds like you’re not a big fan of the NBA then. This is what the NBA has always been about. Legendary players and dynastic teams winning multiple chips. If you can’t appreciate basketball greatness, even if it comes from a team you don’t like, this ain’t the sport for you man. 4 1 Quote Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar Matt Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Plus, how can anyone hate Curry? The dude is phenomenal. Easily one of my all-time favorite players to watch. I’m so happy for him, that he finally got that Finals MVP which he had been deserving of. IMO, he’s top 3 all-time in most helpless and devastating players to face when he’s going off (along with Kobe and LeBron; I wasn’t old enough to remember Jordan). 4 1 Quote Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorWhom Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 For the record, I don't hate Curry. Really I only hated the talk about how he needed an Finals MVP. Like that would have changed any talk about him at all. Honestly the thing I hate most about the Warriors is that it's so hard to hate them. Aside from KD being a lazy bum and joining them for a few years, they really have done everything right. They drafted & developed well, made good trades, and most importantly, didn't rely on a guy like Lebron to carry them because they couldn't do it themselves. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team now won titles before KD joined and after. Proving that they never needed him to win multiple titles. It was the most shameful and cowardice title chasing attempt from a great player that I’ve ever seen. Steph is 100x the player KD ever was or will be. 26 minutes ago, DoctorWhom said: and most importantly, didn't rely on a guy like Lebron to carry them because they couldn't do it themselves. Lmaoooooo. Couldn’t help yourself, could you? At least we got a title out of it, something Celtics fans would love to have right now. Honestly tho, the Lakers ownership needs to sell the team. They are a disgrace to the franchise and the proud history of the Lakers. If it weren’t for LeBron saving them from themselves, this team would be looking at least another decade before they’d win another title. They had one season where they made good decisions, and resulted in a championship. Everything else in their tenure has been setting franchise worst records, in everything. 3 1 Quote Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stayed we'd be talking about the Warrior's 8th straight championship & people trying to pretend they're better than the Jordan Bulls. I dunno about all that, but I do know this one has a level of satisfaction that the Durant titles didn’t, if only for the validation. It’s been a real strange run watching them. Absolutely elated with the first title, completely heartbroken after the second year, and then it all got flipped on it’s head and weird when KD came aboard. It was normalish, then almost overnight the “approval rating” from everyone else dropped off a cliff. I won’t say KD being a part of this diminished my enjoyment of it at all, because I’ve enjoyed all of this immensely, but it did feel kind of :censored:ty knowing EVERYONE else hated it so much. I’ll always appreciate KD and what he did for the Warriors, but I was actually sort of relieved when he signed with the Nets. The whole thing was a whirlwind and was constantly stressful. The losses all felt so magnified and the wins didn’t really matter that much anymore. It felt a bit like getting out of a tumultuous relationship with a famous person. You’re a bit down for some of it being over, but are happy things can be normal again. This win is great because it reminds me so much of the first one. It feels normal. I mean of course you’ve got a handful of the hangers on now lifetime haters, and I get that. Sports will do that. But most of that has settled down a bit. Also, I’m never gonna hate on KD like a lot of people do (lol at “gutless coward”. He’s a basketball player. Get a grip), but he definitely made his bed with a lot of where he’s at and how he’s viewed. If anything, he cashed in on two titles which is nice I’m sure, but the cost was his ability to narrate how his character is seen. And that’s all this ever really is. Control of the narrative. Every superstar has :censored:ty things about them that people would hate. Some guys get lucky with what their control is (Jordan the ultimate example, now Curry), and some guys either have to or choose to trade in some of that control for success (Lebron out of necessity, KD probably more by choice). 3 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Technically the Bucks won during the 75th season and Warriors won during the 76th season due to the postponement of the celebration due to the pandemic. So that's a nice bit of trivia for you: the Bucks won a title during both the 25th and the 75th Anniversary of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
