82 for their big 3. Never going to beat Denver when you allow that

What a pass

They outperform them down the stretch every time.

They need to figure something out or hope someone else takes them out in the playoffs.

@wildturkey thoughts on Darvin putting Rui on Nikola all game?

Good road victory for Denver tonight. MPJ being perfect tonight was big, 5-5 from 3 was clutch.

 

[bksballer89]

Don't agree with SAS much but he is completely right that AD must try to match Jokic

 

[trojanfan12]

@wildturkey thoughts on Darvin putting Rui on Nikola all game?

Rui is fine guarding Joker on the perimeter. They need AD to cover the paint because Jokic picks teams apart passing from the paint.

But when Joker goes inside, AD should be switching on to him.

Yes, they were. lol

Just because the term wasn't created until the 2000's, doesn't mean it can't be applied to past teams. The Showtime Lakers were also superteams.

So were the early 80's Sixers for that matter.

You didn’t read my post.

What I said was that the Celtics weren’t a superteam because they didn’t have a second prime superstar.

Showtime Lakers were definitely a super team.

Bird was 30.
McHale was 29
Parish and DJ were 32.

Superteam.

McHale and Parish weren’t superstars.

Not a superteam.

I get that you disagree.

No need to keep this going.

They're Hall of Famers.

McCale or Parish were not even close to superstars. Very good role players around a superstar.

The nba puts WAY too many guys in the hall of fame.

 

[trojanfan12]

The nba puts WAY too many guys in the hall of fame.

They both made the top 50 players of all time list.

They belong.

Hall of famers doesn’t make you a superstar. Draymond was never a superstar and same goes for Bosh

Lakers still haven't figured-out the Nuggies and until they do, they ain't going to win any Nuggies series either.

Saw both of their entire careers, They were superstars. Particularly McHale. The Celtics weren't a glamour team, so they don't get talked about as much.

Put it this way, if Bird, McHale and Parish weren't superstars, then neither were Magic, Kareem and Worthy. That Celtics "Big 3 was right there with the Lakers "Big 3".

That team also got the last bit of greatness that Bill Walton had left.
