NBA Playoff Thread

Celtics and suffering

They're only the most storied franchise in NBA history with 16 championships. It's not like they're the Clippers or the Cubs here, let's relax a bit

Thank you for injecting some sensibility into this otherwise insane thread.

Uh, that's what you do when you try to get better. You don't stand pat with crap.

And sure it's fun. Kevin Garnett will finally have a ring. What's bad about that?

They may be the most storied NBA franchise, but you have to remember I wasn't until 1992 and probably didn't put down my Barbie dolls till the year 2000 to even pay any attention to the NBA.

I'd tell you to shut up but I don't want you to go IMing me.

I agree you try to improve, but this is just ridiculous. By that logic, every team is a story. And to an extent they are. But a true story is the NY Giants this past year, or the Rockies, or if the freaking Rays win a WS. This is just a team of great players doing what they SHOULD be able to do.

Bon Bon, don't talk to me about piss poor years. I'm a fan of:

The Jets: They've always been mediocre, and the one year they did well, Doug Brien choked and I was destroyed.

The Knicks: Were good in 1999 but have been TERRIBLE since.

The Mets: Started watching in 1998. They were good for a few years, including a WS appearance, but then they were awful for 4 years, disappointed in 2006, choked in 2007, and are mediocre this year.


Sports don't work out well for me.

No wonder you're so negative, Nancy. Hey, they're starting anew, sort of. Cheer up, maybe they'll win 30 games.

Should be able to do? Didn't work that way with Garnett, Spree, and Cassell. And didn't work that with with Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, and GRob. Wait, Cassell is everywhere.

Nevermind. Yeah, it should work, the space alien isn't a starter for Boston.

[ljshorty89]

Lets be fair, KG/Spree/Cassell and Allen/Cassell/GRob is not quite the same as KG/Allen/Pierce.

In fact, out of those 7 players, KG, Allen, and Pierce are the three best. The team is just loaded. And to have vets like Eddie House and James Posey (and cassell) off the bench, they SHOULD win a championship.

Wouldn't count on it. They'll draft freakin' Donte Greene and be set back another 6 years when he can't figure out defense, interior offense, or CONSISTENCY!

Please tell me how often that actually happens. This is a great story.

Or what a basketball is

[ljshorty89]

Umm, the Red Sox? The Red Wings? The Yankees of 1998, 1999, 2000?

Cassell doesn't start, and Kendrick Perkins is a better center than Ervin Johnson and ..whatever the timberwolves had.. Dean Garrett? Michael Olowokandi? Also, the wolves six men were Trenton Hassell and Mark Madsen, the bucks- I have no idea. James Posey alone is better than what they had. Throw in Powe, Brown, Davis, etc. The better trios were the the younger ones, but they never had the other pieces.

The rockets tried winning it all with a mega trio once, Olajuwon-Barkley-Drexler. But they had no bench and no point guard.

[ljshorty89]

True. The Rockets are probably the closest to this team that I can think of. Of course, this team has Rondo, who's a good PG....not that playing with Allen/Pierce/Garnett doesn't help him look good...

They won't take him at 6. If they take someone that flusters the fans, it'll be Randolph or Gallinari
