(3) Warriors vs (2) Celtics 2021-22 FINALS

[Wamu]

Warriors lost by 50 to grizzles on the road

And they lost 3 other road games as well

All celtics need to do is win 3 at home and your champs baba

As long as smart doesn't ruin things. He was mic'd up saying "I'm him"

This delusional lunatic thinks he's the best player, when in reality he has been celtics 5th or 6th most important player these playoffs. This is what happens when you give role players the DPOTY award.

Smart doesn't think he's the best player. Where did you come up with that utter nonsense?

And the fact you insist on calling Smart, the heart & soul of the Celtics, a role player is just more proof you don't know what you're talking about.

The GOAT won a DPOY. You gonna call MJ a role player?

I've jokingly referred to Tatum as the poor man's Lebron and appear to be on to something. Great player(but not Lebron level) who fades when the lights are the brightest.

I hope he proves me wrong but I wouldn't bet on it.

I have nothing against Tatum. But even having him in the same zip code of any GOAT discussion deserves as much mocking as can possibly be mustered.

LeBron is on the GOAT tier along with MJ, Kareem, Wilt (and maybe Magic and Bird, too), so everyone playing today that you compare to LeBron will be no more than a poor man's LeBron. LOL.

Tatum doesn’t even make a GOAT brainstorm list.

Ya but the point remains that Lebron has been known to fade when the lights were the brightest. I thought it was kinda funny but whatev.

Please do not put Lebron in the same convo as Bird or MJ. Dear Lord no.

MJ > LeBron
LeBron > Bird

LeBron is the best player since MJ, so that's gotta count for something. I have Bird and Magic in my top 10, but I wonder if longevity keeps them out of the GOAT tier. Bird with the bad back and Magic with HIV.

Tell me you're a casual without telling me you're a casual.

Always funny when a LeBron hater stops by the NBA threads.

"please do not put Lebron in the same convo as Bird or MJ"

Larry Legend's my all time favorite player. LeBron's better.

The only player LeBron's compared to is MJ. Why do you think that is?

So why shouldn't LeBron be mentioned with Bird & MJ?

Tatum is a CV19 survivor.

Leave him alone!

Tatum is a CV19 survivor.

Leave him alone!

The Celtics organization would be nothing without Tatum!

 

[Black Adam]

Tatum is a CV19 survivor.

Leave him alone!

Evidently some effects of that linger in his fanship cells...

 

[thunderc]

Just imagine if Red Auerbach had Tatum, people might think he was good or something.

 

[Wamu]

Just imagine if Red Auerbach had Tatum, people might think he was good or something.

With Tatum the Celtics dynasty would have won 13 titles in a row.

The fact Russell & Company only won 11 greatly diminishes those titles.

 

[Montalban]

That wasn't a choke?

That was a serious choke in the 4th quarter of game 7. I think the Warriors made one basket in the last 4 plus minutes of that game with a sizeable lead.

Just imagine if Red Auerbach had Tatum, people might think he was good or something.

I actually like the demeanor and leadership of the new Celtics coach. I wonder if he is a former player

 

[Shanemansj13]

This is the effort you need against Curry especially for a DPOY. You need to smother him for 48

Lebron is to basketball what Peyton Manning was to football. A really really great player who didn't win nearly as much as he should have.
