fun season for the celtics. didn't expect to be in the ECF. still a bitter loss since they had such a good opportunity with a less talented miami team - i think fatigue had a lot to do with this loss.

yeah I feel like they got AD because LeBron was there more than being the Lakers

it's both. the celtics would have traded brown or tatum for him to pair with kyrie, but it's harder for us to retain free agents.

i mean look at the clippers, who have a lot less glamor but still have the los angeles advantage. they bombed out but were able to get paul george and kawhi leonard. leonard even left a superior team to do it.

lakers have zero fear of that.

But they got Lebron because they are the Lakers

and yes very much this. can't compete with space jam 2

i could understand resenting the celtics for their fleecing of the nets and what we did to isaiah thomas.

but yeah, i hate the way just being the lakers means the lakers get to be good. tbf lebron has that impact on teams too. but i greatly dislike it.

sadly, yeah, it's because it's the lakers. they won 5 from 2000 to 2010 (and appeared in 2 more) and appeared in NINE during the magic johnson/kareem era. when historically the greatest players force themselves onto your team, expectations are higher.

Probably best to turn this off now and not torture myself

all we can say for sure is that 1. miami will come back by at least 13 if not win and 2. these last 6 min will take 40 IRL

i can understand why people are against this, to be fair - if "git gud" is the price, then smashing people is the reward

but if it's less fun to play the game vs people of your skill level, that's probably a sign that others aren't having fun playing with you, either

well he's pretty famous for being wrong over half the time when he "GUARANTEES" a win. it's kind of a running joke even on the show how often he's wrong about his predictions, to the point where they made fun of him for being correct fairly recently!

2015
overall: -20; team was -32

2018
+10; team was +3

2020
+131; team was +103

i think the individual stats are much more useful in this case since his team's performance (i.e. what +/- measures) is so heavily linked to the quality of the teammates and the opponents

Let's not act like this isn't the best basketball he has played in his life. The criticism he had before was warranted, but I absolutely feel like this time off before the playoffs is what is allowing him to accel, along with some tutelage from LeBron.

Dude is playing out of his mind, he's at a new level, but don't act like he could have flipped this switch at any moment lol

21yo AD in 4 playoff games vs the Warriors: 31.5 PPG (54% eFG, 89% FT), 11.0 RPG, 2.0 APG, 1.3 SPG, 3.0 BPG
24yo AD in 9 playoff games vs POR/GSW: 30.1 PPG (54% eFG, 83% FT), 13.1 RPG, 1.7 APG, 2.0 SPG, 2.3 BPG
26yo AD in 12 playoff games: 28.7 PPG (60% eFG, 77% FT), 10.7 RPG, 3.9 APG, 1.0 SPG, 2.0 BPG

He's doing a bit better per-minute, but it's not really fair to say he's much better than this year than he's been before...

clenched anus victory right there

gordon hayward looks incredible. dunno if it's coaching or just bball iq but he was huge on adebayo pick and rolls. late-game collapse still happened, but kemba walker was able to knock down several big shots to keep us just barely ahead.

love the adjustment to play kanter in the first half and williams in the second.

the celtics aren't out of this; we could still win in 6 or 7. hopefully we can get the refs on our side since y'all know they'd love celtics vs lakers in the finals.

but yeah, i don't think either eastern conference team stands a chance vs the lakers barring injury to AD or lebron
