Miami is not going to beat Philly anyway.

LolBlazers. That being said, I do really like this Pels team and think they could do some damage against GSW. Can't win the series but I bet they go 6.

Rondo has made a huge difference. The way he manages the offense is something we really needed for a while.

 

[Rios15]

Defensively they're doing a good job guarding that backcourt

 

[CameronCrazy06]

he's supposed to be on par with Curry and them

Who the hell said hes on par with curry?

You'd think the Pels should be title contenders with Boogie. Maybe their best bet really is to re-sign him and try to trade him for an elite wing, although it is rare for superstars to be traded for each other. 
 
If Kawhi becomes available, Boogie, albeit a recovering Boogie, on a fresh contract is pretty good bait.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Boogie to the spurs? Cant see that happening haha

 

[Paulius]

keep on doubting us, man

Morris has scored 17+ in 9 of his last 14 games
Rozier has 13+ in 11 of the 15 games
Tatum has 13+ in 10 of the past 15 games
Jaylen has 19+ in 7 of the past 11 games
(these samples are the games played since Kyrie went down)

Bostons not having trouble scoring right now, and we still have an elite defense. We can advance thru Miami

Its not that im doubting you guys, its more about not wanting to see you advance because i really couldnt care less about the kyrie less Boston, thats all

Rondo has made a huge difference. The way he manages the offense is something we really needed for a while.

Been trying to say that for a year now and no one believes that Bulls woulda upset the Celtics last year if he didnt get hurt

Just controls the game/pace like no other and also clamps the oppposing pg

Celtics won the series because they took out Amir Johnson out of the lineup for Gerald Green, and it put Lopez on Horford instead of camping the lane because the Bulls (rightfully so) didnt respect Amirs offense

 

[Paulius]

Yep. Bobby Portis and Lopez killed us, not Rondo.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Rondo averaged 11.5, 10, and 8.5 with 3.5 steals. He definitely was killing the Celtics too.

 

[Paulius]

Except when rondowent down there was no one to run the offense for. The offense yall couldnt stop

Celtic fans hate admitting an ex celtic was torching them

 

[Paulius]

Go Olympiakos hahaha

I love it. More fuel

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Yeah, they replaced him with Isaiah Canaan and Jerian Grant. It definitely was a big loss. I still think the Celtics would've won the series, but let's not act like Rondo wasn't a big loss.

 

[Mexi]

I ignored the fuck out of that series

thats my take

ive never said rondo wasnt a big loss. im still one of the bigger rondo supporters on the board. but if you watch the first two games, Lopez was the reason we lost, with him clogging all the lanes for Isaiah and AB. By pulling Amir for a wing, its either an uncontested 3 for Green or to put him on Horford, which is an advantage for us

 

[Paulius]

LETS GOOOOOO!!! Victorious!

1-0 fuck with my country!!!

 

[Paulius]

Euroleague playoffs > NBA playoffs

I really don't want to see the criticism that comes from LeBron getting ousted in round 1, because it won't have any merit, but I'd like to see how for real this Indiana team can be.
