Series Thread: ECF: Boston Celtics vs Cleveland Cavs

[Mecca]

Have to strongly disagree with that top 11 comment. I think people are vastly overrating this draft class. But we’ll see.

Eh......

Mikal Bridges is likely #11.

That's a hell of a floor for the top 10.

Several of those guys could have gone #1 last year.

But, that's hindsight.

 

[Mecca]

All due respect but that’s insane. Neither of those guys are better prospects than Fultz was. We have the benefit of hindsight showing us that Fultz had a lost rookie season. I think he’ll come back next year and he’ll be fine.

Agree.

Said as much in my last post.

 

[Mecca]

id take Young or Sexton over Fultz in a second.

the elite-ness of the top 6 is undeniable.

Yeah, because Fultz turned out to be damaged goods.

But, before the Season?

Nah

As far as the top 6 goes, I’m not in love with Bamba or Ayton and it’s hard to evaluate Porter. I don’t think any of them, outside Doncic, would be shoe-ins to go first last year.

 

[Mecca]

Doncic is going to be amazing.

hes like if Ricky Rubio great a few inches and was a great shooter.

Id shit if the Cavs somehow could get him.

honestly id take him over any draft propect in the last 10 years besides Anthony Davis------ and id have to think about Simmons, Embiid, Wall, Rose-

I'd take Simmons...lol

But, gosh Doncic looks for real.

He is tearing it up over there.

I’m praying Bridges makes it to #10 or wherever the 76ers end up picking.

 

[LAD]

and lebrons balls have dropped as well.

Apparently right on your face....

He'd be so perfect for you guys if you keep it.

 

[WiggyRuss]

he just has the "it" factor too

hes 6' 8", still growing, he can shoot the 3, he has passing ability and vision like Rubio/Ball, the size and athleticism to defend on an elite level,--- and he WANTS the ball in his hands at the end of the game and his teammates love him

If i were to pick between him and Kyrie in the same draft id take Doncic.

i think you are nuts.

Oh the funny irony of this comment.

Hey, how does the Lakers pick protections work?

Boston gets it if it's #2 or 3 and Philly gets it anywhere else?

Right now it's at #10.

That's right where Mikal is, pre workouts.

Wait a minute. If the Lakers pick is 2 or 3 Boston gets get? Fuck so I have to root for them during the lottery? Well that sucks.

Heat became overnight favorite to win the title.

The day James went back to the Cavs, they became favorite to at least win the EC.

What's being left out is he joined that losing Heat team & brought along an AS player to add to the existing AS/Champion that was already there. In fact, he's done that both times - when he left for Miami & when he went back to Cle. Folks like to leave that fact out of the equation though.

Wow....that's high praise.

I have just started to come around on Doncic.

Ffs is he good.

 

[knowyourenemy]

Agreed. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Obviously I’d love for the Lakers to win the lottery. But assuming that doesn’t happen, I’m hoping for Mikal Bridges.

My question is, do they still send a representative?

Lmfao

So, you do get it if it's #1?

Dear God....

Put Doncic on that roster?

Lmfao

Fiiiiiiiiiillllllllttttthhhhy.

Yeah. It’s going to be pretty devastating if LA ends up at 2 or 3. Boston will be stacked even more than it already is. Imagine them possibly getting Doncic at 2?
