I’d not change a thing about the Celts lineup. They are good for a title run as is. Just see how to make those salaries sustainable.

Think they’d have a hard time beating Lebron next round right now. Now with Kyrie and Gordon, maybe.I’d not change a thing about the Celts lineup. They are good for a title run as is. Just see how to make those salaries sustainable.
They would beat the Cavs fully healthy.Think they’d have a hard time beating Lebron next round right now. Now with Kyrie and Gordon, maybe.
I am hardly a Lebron Guy, far from it but I’ll tell you what, he is absolutely unreal. Top two player of all time with MJ and honestly i go back and forth with Who is number one.I keep waiting for LeBron just to get tired and slow down. Seems he gets better with age. May be the most athletic physical specimen we've ever laid eyes on.
Meaningless discussion if you ask me, Luke Maye is only one or two years away from pushing those scrubs to #s 2 and 3. MJ isn't even the best Tarheel of all time. Simply amazing what Roy does with his 4 year guys. I mean, just check out these results.I am hardly a Lebron Guy, far from it but I’ll tell you what, he is absolutely unreal.

Off topic, but Philly did Jah wrong. Maybe it’s karma that Jay Smooth has been doing work against the 76ers.
I’ll take that bet. I think the Celtics are too well coached to get swept. I think they take a game or two at home but it’ll be Lebron in 6. How insane is it that Lebron will be in 8 straight finals. EIGHT. That is absolutely incredible.Cavs over Celtics in 4 followed by loads of “what would have happened with Kyrie/Hayward” comments.
I think Jah has done some wrong, too. It also doesn’t help that he refuses to defend and can’t rebound at a high level. Couple that with the diminishing role that true back-to-the-basket centers face in a changing game, and that’s why he was exiled from Philly and performed poorly in Brooklyn, too.
Okafor doesnt seem to have the work ethic. Thought the fresh start in Brooklyn would be just what he needed. Wrong. Couldnt find minutes playing with even worse big men. All fingers point to him as being the one thats holding himself back.
Not a good look for Rodney:

i thought i read somewhere where the Nets wanted to bring him around slowly this season, get in better shape, etc and be ready for next season?
You are most likely correct. As a Cavs fan, I am really pulling for Houston, can't stand the Warriors (sorry Quinn.)I love this Celtics team, but its feeling like they have reached their ceiling. No one in the East has a chance in the finals anyways. The only possibility I am willing to consider would be Houston outslugging GS in 7 games then losing Harden to injury against the Cavs. I don’t see any other scenarios that don’t result in Houston or GS ending the season with a parade
Yeah it’s really unfortunate, but Jah entered the league in a time when it wants its bigs to defend, rebound, and run the floor. Obviously none of these are strengths for him. There is still a place in some rotations for bigs that strugggle defensively, but only if they have another big strength other than scoring. Guys like Kanter and Greg Monroe aren’t great defenders, but at least they’re good rebounders in addition to their back to the basket games. Unless Jah can make some drastic changes quick, he’s going to continue to struggle unfortunately.
You've met Sky, Hart, Dirt and Topps?If LeBron makes the finals again that will be extremely impressive. Finals appearances should certainly count legacy wise. Clearly championships are better but that is a level of sustained excellence no one but Jordan and Russell have bettered. I love Joe Montana, but Brady has been to far more Super Bowls. Sure 4 for 4 is great, but what about all those other seasons he didn't make the Super Bowl? I am not a LeBron or Brady fanboy, but know greatness when I see it.
Jayson Tatum in the Conference finals! Tall task to overcome Lebron, but hey the Cavs have to play the Celtics too!
Of-course it is impressive. The NBA has a major Conference imbalance though. Since Jordan retired in the late 90s (20 years) there were only a couple seasons where the Eastern Conference measured up to the West.If LeBron makes the finals again that will be extremely impressive.
