There's 2 teams worth a damn. Houston and GSW. The rest are so far back from them it isn't even competitive. Hence the shit ass playoffs. That makes it shitty to me. I think the West had a ton of key injuries, Rubio, Boogie, Jimmy, Milsap, Steph(doesnt matter but),Kawhi Leonard They dont put their teams at or near the same level as hou/GS...but those are some good players and the west is still clearly better since the 8th seed was 47 wins where the east was 44, 44,43 in 6-8 spots and a whole bunch of bad bottom feeders

May 28, 20187 yr I'm convinced LeBron could win an elimination game with two dachshunds, a cucumber, and Betty White on the court with him.That's not fair, Betty White would have hit more shots than half the Celtics.

That’s just a fact. and ftr, as I said before, imo MJ is still the GOAT, but LeBron is the best player ever. derka nobody gives a fuck about who started saying Lebron is the GOAT a month ago, 5 years ago, or tonight.

May 28, 20187 yr For any other player, Kyrie not being in the building would be just weird. But then, Myrie oops I mean Kyrie probably gives less than two shits about the Celtics, just as he didn't give shits about the Cavs when he was there. Kyrie cares about Kyrie.
May 28, 20187 yr Just feel the close bond between Lebron and DG here - just heartwarming: https://streamable.com/0zhf5
May 28, 20187 yr Quote Marcus Smart shot 1-of-10 from the field during Sunday's Game 7 defeat, scoring four points with seven assists, four rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes. The Celtics finished with a mere five turnovers but squandered that efficiency by shooting 34.1% as a team, including 7-of-39 from downtown. Since 1983 no NBA team has won a game (regular season or playoffs) while shooting 17.9% or worse on at least 39 attempts from deep. Jaylen Brown shot 5-of-18 from the field, Marcus Morris was 5-of-14, and Terry Rozier was 2-of-14, as brutal offense condemned Boston to a Game 7 loss on their home court. This was bad, bad offense..... historically bad. Almost no way Boston could have won.

May 28, 20187 yr 15 minutes ago, Patrick Bateman said: This was bad, bad offense..... historically bad. Almost no way Boston could have won. A lot of that was Lebron. I've always thought that Lebron is the best defender in the league when he wants to be and in the 2nd half we saw that. He was contesting everything, flying around on defense, and crowding the Celtics shooters making them generally uncomfortable. It's just a shame that he can't give that effort because of all the other things that he's asked to do for the team. That was he was able to give this kind of effort defensively while putting up 35-15-9 and playing 48 minutes in his 100th game of the season is just mind-bottling.

How many teams have won a game 7 in Boston? They did..... It was a lot of ISO on the wings and not a ton of inside out or screening about. They looked terrified of the moment, except for Tatum and Horford and Horford missed 2-3 good looks in the 4th too. Smart, Brown, Rozer, and Morris in the 2nd half were ungodly bad. Some of it was forced shots early in the clock and some were just missed open looks. When Cleveland went small, Boston didn't try and punish them underneath. A couple of times Baynes had JR or Green on the block and they wouldn't even look his way. Stevens is going to really hate watching this all summer....
May 28, 20187 yr Jordan Clarkson this series - 43 field goal attempts, ZERO assists. That is legendary. He'll be the subject of Kobe's ESPN+ show in the near future - this is how you do it kids.
May 28, 20187 yr and kyrie not being there tonight is an absolutely terrible look. he should get killed for it.
May 28, 20187 yr Props to LBJ and the gang.I gotta question Stevens coaching ability, though. He may not be the next big thing. How does a team only win one playoff game out of 8? Good coaching should at least be able to win a couple of those games. And how does he let Smart continually throw up terrible 3's?

He lead a team to within one game of the finals without their two best players.

May 28, 20187 yr 17 hours ago, Thatguy said: Agreed. However, the law o averages says that Boston has to turn into young guys at some point and I am afraid it's going to happen in the finals.

I'm really surprsied that wasn't a larger story. I always felt like he wasn't exactly excited about the success they were having but not showing up for what could be the last game of the season is a bad look
