Series Thread: NBA championship: Celtics vs Mavs

[msgkings322]

You're talking to a Lakers fan. Super teams have been their go-to, really. Not to the Warriors extent, but still...

I genuinely don't understand what you are saying here

 

[Manster7588]

That last one didn't make it into a basket before the second try, so Dallas wins game 7 in overtime.

Now, you're missing me off.

I quite enjoyed when my team was the most recent one

And I'm enough of a fan of the NBA to appreciate the next one even if it's not the Ws. Seeing a basketball team playing at the highest possible level is fun, you didn't have to be a Bulls fan or Lakers fan or Celtics fan or Warriors fan to enjoy their superteams.

I think I could have enjoyed yours more if it started a few years later and the potential of my superteam was not thwarted by injury and then jealousy.

Yeah I can definitely understand a Cavs fan not liking the Ws superteam. Bad timing for you guys.

Just like Utah and Phoenix and so many teams in the MJ dominated era. Houston be like 'thanks!'

Clearly timing has not always been our thing....as MJ retiring a little earlier might have helped us, too.

A little earlier?

Unless you are talking like 1992 it wouldn’t have made a lick of difference for the Cavs.

Boston's defense is really damn good.

was talking about his retirement to play baseball. so, yeah, like maybe 1991-92ish.

My prediction is the Celtics trade holiday after one of the next two seasons (not this summer) to reset their tax situation

 

[LogicMan]

As we look into game 3 we should expect more adjustments. The biggest change I can see is to stop doubling on Tatum. It looks like he is accepting a role of being the play maker , driver and distributor. It’s been working despite poor shooting. Near Triple doubles are not a good thing for the Mavs.

We will see

That’s a brave take and perhaps logical. But he is arguable the best player or one of them in this series. He is just amazing

MJ could have done that Jazz a huge favor and not left for baseball right at Hakeem's peak.

That's because he was a Sixer.

My team doesn't benefit from these new rules

 

[shopson67]

That’s a brave take and perhaps logical. But he is arguable the best player or one of them in this series. He is just amazing

He's also 34 (tomorrow) with a player option looming in his age 37 season that may be a hindrance by then.

 

[LogicMan]

That's because he was a Sixer.

Well I thank you for Jaylen Jayson and Al too

 

[DJ]

And people have the nerve to talk shit that teams in the NBA aren't going to try and help the Lakers get better....LOL.

 

[msgkings322]

Yeah I know how you feel

Fuck al. Dumb fat bitch.
