Series Thread: 1) Boston Celtics vs 8) Chicago Bulls

Hes a great defender when he wants to be, which isn't in the regular season.

Exactly. And it's usually in the 4th Q. Same goes for the rest of the current NBA. Mentally that's pretty weak

Lmao

 

[SJ76]

Soft

 

[SJ76]

Lmao

He's not really a good coach. May end up fired here soon

I look at it as a need more than a want. He wants to last in this league until he is in his late 30's. He knows how important the playoffs are. Once he gets in the playoffs he steps his defense to elite level the further it goes. He can lockdown anyone in the game with his 1-on-1 defense still

 

[Shanemansj13]

Hoiberg lol

 

[SJ76]

My pinky hurts

I'm cramping

I don't want to play hard in the regular season

 

[SJ76]

It isnt an accident one of the all-time greatest plays and Finals history plays was a defensive play by Lebron. Chasedown block

It also wasn't an accident that the Cavs didn't score but 1 bucket in those last 4 minutes of game 7 and it wasn't Lebron

Probably safe to say the Cavs weren't clicking on D until their leader actually started playing D finally in mid-April

You gotta stop living in the Jordan era, bud

What other era do I have? Won't see anything ever like it. Just like you won't see a kid from Akron grow up and bring you a title. Finally.


And I don't live in that era. Just have to set fools straight that think they can hold a candle to MJ or that team. Yeah bball in this era is soft. When you don't play D all season like the rest of the NBA don't start barkin Lebron is the best ever.

 

[SJ76]

And the 90s have nothing to do with the Cavs scoring 1 bucket in the last 4 minutes of a game 7 while Golden St scored none.


I've seen some pillow fights and although there was some good defense being played in that span, there was some really bad shots being taken. More importantly you can't tell me that the best players on the planet can't figure out how to get a bucket at crunch time in a game like that

I miss it too

I miss it too

Men took pride back then during the entire season. They wanted to be the best during the regular season and post season. The Bulls wanted to break records and did as a team and individually. That's how you make your mark and how you leave a legacy.


I still enjoy watching 2017 bball. I just have to throw in some 90s finals DVDs every once in awhile. Usually when I'm pretty buzzed

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Well it's about damn time Brad Stevens finally showed how superior at coaching he actually is compared to Fred frickin Hoiberg.

 

[SJ76]

Great play. Too bad that effort isn't consistent

 

[gordontrue]

"Best player in the game" ain't even one of the best defenders in the league

Is that a joke?

 

[SJ76]

Is that a joke?

Is it a joke that Lebron has not been on the all NBA 1st or 2nd team defense the last 2 years? Made the 2nd team 3 years ago though.


Last 4 minutes in the 4th quarter he's a beast on D.

I think Stevens is one of the best in the league. I'd take him over Lue anyday--- well- if LeBron liked him. lol.

Celtics are a tough team. They have the mental toughness you need in the playoffs--- i just dont think they have the high-end talent that any real playoff contender needs.

I gotta think if the Bulls had Taj Gibson and a healthy Rondo they mightve been able to get this to a Game 7- or even have won---- but shit happens.
