They defined the term man.

There is no other team that defines it better.

It isn’t about the level of success they had.

What is the definition?

What is the definition?

2 prime superstars + a 3rd star.

That is my definition based on when the term was first used.

And it was first used to describe that Heat team.

Ok so why wasn’t the Celtics in first 08 considered as one?

Because Allen and Pierce weren’t superstars.

They need to not have any more conversations...they got the talking part done.

Now they need to get the executing in the last 5 minutes of the game part done.

The Nugs have used some kind of Witchcraft or Voodoo on them. lol

That's, I believe, 7 straight losses to the Nugs going back to the WCF. Virtually every single game came down to execution in the last 5 minutes of the game and they've lost them all.

Weirdest part is that it's not like the Lakers are bad in the last 5 minutes of games...they seem to execute fairly well against everyone but the Nugs.

Not sure I agree about Pierce at that time and if he wasn't then he was at least a top 15 player

This Celtics team looks pretty good. Anyone predicting them to win a title?

If they dont win it this year they might as well rebuild

I watched the GS/Bos game on a tape delay...

... interesting defensive strategy from the Warriors to start the game... Draymond was just letting Jaylen Brown have open 3's... I mean wide open.

Boston fans doing the wave in the 4th was fun...

 

[thunderc]

Got to love Muscala, he is saying the Thunder started winning the second they traded him away lol.

@tlance 2007-2008 GM survey before the season started

Who is the best shooting guard in the NBA?

1. Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers — 92.6%
T-2. Ray Allen, Boston — 3.7%
T-2. Dwyane Wade, Miami — 3.7%

Steve kerr

Smart dude

Agreed.

Top 15 isn’t superstar.

For most of the past you pretty much had to be top 5.

There are more today.
