2024-06-20 00:22:33 +0000 UTCI don't see any path to the WCF for this team. At all. The West is too deep. The Core is too old. Curry playing Team USA this summer, so he will start the season tired, and he's going to be asked. Again. To carry this squad. And there's zero chances he stays healthy with that workload. Once he goes down, they'll be 2020 Warriors again.

2024-06-20 00:06:03 +0000 UTCWith some good luck I could see us back at least in the WCF

2024-06-19 23:58:25 +0000 UTCThatโs what I keep trying to tell these kids at LA fitness! Iโm just the old head now. Kid told me the other day โ man your game is so simple, you donโt really have a bag. If I get too close you go by and if I say off you shootโ and I said boom! There you have it, it can be that simple!

2024-06-19 23:55:59 +0000 UTCI think itโs much harder to all have the same goal after you win 1. Now personal agendas start to emerge.

2024-06-19 23:53:41 +0000 UTCOutside of a healthy Knicks team, I don't think anyone in the East can challenge the Celtics, so I expect them to return to the finals next year. In terms of the hunger aspect, I don't believe that will be a problem for these Celtics. There will be plenty of opportunities for motivation. Tatum will probably be on a mission to prove he is a superstar-caliber player after losing out on a finals MVP. Also, most fans/national media are already discrediting the Celtics run because of all the injury breaks they caught, which is very similar to what the Warriors experienced after their first title in 2015. We all remember the season after when the Warriors came out guns blazing, taking the league by storm. I expect the Celtics to come with a similar level of fire to prove themselves.

2024-06-19 04:49:08 +0000 UTCWhen talking Steph Kyrie itโs kinda like your take on handles vs moves but just on a bigger scale. Kyrie has every move in the world but Steph is just so much more functionally effective across the whole game of basketball. It was a good year for those Kyrie and Dame narratives to die tho as Dame replaced Jrue and the Bucks flamed out, while Jrue goes on to clamp Kyrie and win another chip ๐

2024-06-19 00:30:10 +0000 UTCJaylen Brown was flat out awesome getting around screens and staying on Luka not only last game but all series. Gotta give him the biggest amount of props in this finals run.
Billy Roberson
2024-06-18 22:58:09 +0000 UTCI think we could get one more IF we have an offseason that exceeds my expectations of what is possible. But I don't begrudge anyone who thinks we can't get there with this team. Totally reasonable.
John Pettus
2024-06-18 21:45:58 +0000 UTCYeah, he bombed the celebration lmao but I'm happy Luka didn't win idgaf hahaha

2024-06-18 21:45:47 +0000 UTCMost of us can appreciate/enjoy it when a new Champion shows up. Like the Nuggets or Bucks. But the Celtics ...? Naw. Nothing new about them. They can't stop counting all those banners, most of which are from when there was only 8 teams in the league. Only team I'd enjoy less is the Lakers. This absolutely unopposed Celtics chip feels like a Billionaire winning the lottery. I'm not in the "Warriors can win 1 more" camp. At all. Not rooting to bring Klay back for the feelz. There's going to be many seasons of losing basketball after the Core leave. But by keeping the Old Core together, all we're doing is adding at least 2 more losing seasons to that pile of losing seasons and increasing my misery. I'm more than ready to get on with this.

2024-06-18 21:29:56 +0000 UTCAgreed it was objectively a weak run. I think people punish Jordan because of his physical gifts

2024-06-18 21:11:32 +0000 UTCI believe it was going into GM5

2024-06-18 21:10:07 +0000 UTCGotta give credit to Boston, but man this finals and really whole playoff run from them was incredibly boring and unsatisfying to me. I mean, you'll take a chip no matter what, but watching JB and JT in these finals, it didn't really feel like true greatness to me. Last years finals was boring too, but we knew we were watching one of the best offensive players ever in Jokic. Watching JT stat pad while they were up 20 just felt a bit corny to me, especially with his post game interview lol, but aye props to em. The whole Steph vs Kai debate was never serious. People like Kai more because they have aesthetic bias, but Steph is better in basically ever facet of the game. But my question is, why isn't MJ ever mentioned in the most skilled ever convo? Looking forward to the off szn content!

2024-06-18 20:55:45 +0000 UTCI didnt even watch the WCF. The Wolves Nuggets series was the last time I paid any attention to these playoffs. Outside of that series, these playoffs SUCKED.

2024-06-18 20:53:45 +0000 UTCthe luka finals stat isn't real. He only averaged 29.2 ppg.
