May 28, 20241 yr This Indy/celtics series has been boring for me. Watching boston just settling for jacking up 3's all the time is like watching bad ymca basketball. Mavs vs Wolves games have been so damn entertaining...

May 28, 20241 yr Oof thank god the city of Boston gets a chance to win a championship. What’s it been, 2 years?
May 28, 20241 yr Why does it feel like "Mavs have the most talented back court of all time" is the new "Ant =MJ"? Can we go one series without making over-the-top declarations? Edited May 28, 20241 yr by Pam Cummings
May 28, 20241 yr Scott Foster to etch his name into nba referring lore tonight 2 Ts on Luka by the first tv timeout incoming

Not even going back a long ways, did Steph/Klay not exist? They also have the hardware to back it up with 3 rings in 4 years and then another a few years ago. 2 other Finals appearances. Those 2 guys ruined so many teams from winning in the West (SA, Houston, OKC) and stopped Lebron from building a dynasty in Cleveland. At their peak, I'd put them at the top. Paul Pierce/Ray Allen was something serious for their time. They caused Lebron to get frustrated and start the Miami Heat era since he could never beat Boston with them there. Let's wait and see what happens with this season before proclaiming these kinds of statements.

Love the way Luka and Kyrie are playing but we have got to stop doing this. To his credit, Kyrie deflected any of that talk. What if they go on to lose to Boston in the finals? Will Tatum/Brown be crowned as the greatest fill-in-the-blank ever? Edited May 28, 20241 yr by Pam Cummings

I was just pointing out examples where I said "without even going back that far" to show how this recent bias can get absurd. Happens in all sports. Everyone wants to start labeling players and teams "best ever!!". Luka/Kyrie are amazing in their own right, no doubt. But no need to compare to other scoring duos. Let it play out and see what happens. Enjoy the ride. But I get with 24/7 reporting, need to fill air time and have these comparison discussions. Also don't forget the Kyrie/Lebron duo was pretty damn good. Kyrie hitting one of the biggest clutch shots in Finals history to beat GSW on the road game 7 during that era. Once KD arrived though, they had no real shot.

It annoys me because I see writers and broadcasters as having the job of accurately describing and recording history. This over-the-top let's see who can have a hotter take stuff hurts that. Edited May 28, 20241 yr by Pam Cummings
May 28, 20241 yr Better guard duos: Steph/Klay obviously #1. Kobe and Derek Fisher? Probably yes Parker/Ginobli? Depends on the season, but I would say yes at their peak. Dumars/Thomas? Yes. Reggie Miller/Mark Jackson? Maybe Magic Johnson/Byron Scott? Probably MJ and John Paxon? Maybe MJ and maybe Ron Harper? Yes. Rondo/Ray Allen? Probably not It's hard to give 2 guys that are both known for playing below average defense a GOAT label.
May 28, 20241 yr 3 hours ago, Vic Mackey said: Let's wait and see what happens with this season before proclaiming these kinds of statements. We can win tonight and the following four with Luka and Kyrie each averaging 50 ppg and I still won't give a single fuck where these dumbasses rank them historically. Who. Gives. A. Fuck.

Yes, because to be the best you gotta beat the best. Kyrie/Luka greatest backcourt of all time. Now we just need Rickey Henderson to announce it.
May 28, 20241 yr Hope the Mavs win tonight and get four more wins after that. I may not like the things Flat Earth says off the court, but he has fit perfectly alongside Luka. Getting away from the glare of the New York media has been good for him. It seems he has mostly focused on basketball again. I think Dallas wins the finals in 6 games. They will have the best player and 3rd best player on the court as well as guys who just fit seamlessly around the two stars. I actually might amend that to the two best players on the court play for Dallas if Brown reverts back to his past failures on the biggest stage.
May 28, 20241 yr Do people really still get up in arms about the flat earth statement? How could one not be concerned when someone, anyone, claims the fucking earth is flat?

May 29, 20241 yr What Kyrie said about Jewish people was much, much worse than the flat earth stuff. And the flat earth stuff was bad.
May 29, 20241 yr Not what I said. He’s not some world leader or scientist people should be listening to or following on flat earth shit
May 29, 20241 yr Idk man. We’re supposed to pay attention when some athlete opines on social justice shit (which I typically agree with btw) but when one says utterly stupid shit it’s just who gives a fuck, he’s just a basketball player.I don’t think that works. I think it goes both ways.
