GDAWG Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 The Mavs made the Kyrie trade fearing that if they didn't and he went somewhere else (like the Lakers and Warriors) and they didn't do something to improve their team, Luka would want out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germanshepherd Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I’m selling big on the Celtics after this series. How the hell did they not blow this sorry ass team out of the water. Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 So the Celtics... Beat the Heat without Butler Beat the Cavaliers with Mitchell out for half the series Beat the Pacers with Haliburton out for half the series Now likely get to play a 5 seed. It's almost like destiny is just trying to get this Boston core their title. I know it's been beaten to death, but there really is no excuse for them, regardless of how Luka and Kyrie are playing.

I think Boston is probably by far the better all around team, but Dallas has the two best players on the court and that goes a LONG way. Plus, I still don’t trust this Boston core. I still think they’re super soft in the crunch. Like, Demar Derozen/Kyle Lowry levels of soft. I feel like this is either gonna be a great series, or Dallas is gonna go on some huge runs and I think Boston is going to crumple. Also, with all of the shifting we’ve been getting in the past decade with these “Big Three” combos, I find it kinda funny that we could potentially get a title for a twosome of Kyrie and the dude the Kings wouldn’t draft because their GM was having Kosovo PTSD flashbacks. And, all for the Shark Tank dude’s team! What a time to be an NBA fan. Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

TrueYankee26 Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Bad year to be a team from the Midwest in the Conference Finals. Both teams finding ways to punch their fans in the gut. Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 There's less time between Jordan's last ring and Malice at the Palace (6.5 years) than there is between Warriors Blew a 3-1 Lead and the present (8 years). Time is weird. 7 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Minnesota should get rid of him. Whatever good he gives you on one night will be taken right back the next night with awful reckless threes and backbreaking fouls. It's who he is. Naz Reid can provide all the good that Towns does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this is either gonna be a great series, or Dallas is gonna go on some huge runs and I think Boston is going to crumple. I think this year the Celtics got over their issues falling apart in the clutch, having just come out of an ECF where 3 of the games were won on crunch-time takeovers. Brown and Derrick White have made leaps as clutch game-savers, Holiday has been lowkey containing games without the coin flip of also losing them that was Smart's hallmark. That said, the world still awaits a Jayson Tatum signature playoff moment, so the finals would be a good time for that to finally show up if Boston is to win. Points for Boston: Porzingis returns sans rust, current Brown/Jrue/White trajectory continues, MIN pushes DAL to seven games and exhausts them, DAL hasn't faced a defense this strong from 1-6 yet, Nike execs tell Tatum that a game-winning three will unlock a new colorway for the JT2's, Kyrie is 0-10 vs the Celtics since he stomped on the logo (really!) Points for Dallas: Two best players on the court peaking at the perfect time, a hobbled Porzingis/elderly Horford don't even make a dent in Luka, nudging Boston into a shots-aren't-falling night kicks off a spiral, Kyrie's annoying success poisons the Garden vibes, Boston's bench may very well net 0 PPG as things stand, their stars have takeover games while Celtics' stars don't (Points for Minnesota: last year's Celtics walked so these Wolves could run, give me the reverse sweep, I need the drama... okay, not likely) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
