Do you think the Celtics stand a chance? Asking for a friend

Raptors win in 6 or 7.

Bucks will win one game and then fold in the 5th game.

Hopefully, Rockets get it done in 6 or 7 - fuck that pretentious douche LeBum.

Clippers will win in 6.

I think they do because they have Brad Stevens who’s capable of beating them but at the same time, this Toronto team has a lot of experience. I think they take it in 7. Boston’s gonna answer back one game and they’ll take the other two.

 

[Osman]

I think Celtics will take it. They have less experience, but better 6 man roation players/more offensive weapons.

 

[Strickland]

Lebron is a winner, for an old guy he can still take over a game

 

[Bianconero81]

3-6 in the Finals, including a sweep. These are numbers of a true winner indeed.

I've no interest in the goat debates and crap like that, but with AD, Harden and Westbrook all in their primes on the floor, old Lebron is still clearly the top player between those two teams

Houston was the better team until the 4th quarter.

they still have a chance

Glad Rondo is stepping up. Btw is Lebron taller than everyone from the Rockets starting lineup?

It's a team of forwards vs a team of guards on paper

Drilling in a bit more obviously reveals players on both sides who can play nearly every position on the floor including the 5 (exception might be Harden)

It's brilliant basketball and concurrent team comp philosophies going head-to-head

If you recall the WCF in 2017 when HOU blew gm7 at home against GSW was a nice preview of the impending evolution we are witnessing. Really exciting imo

Lakers have a advantage because they can go 'small' and still play with a real center in Davis. The guy is sick, switches on all-star guards on defense and does his job. James-Davis and 3D perimeter players around them is a nightmare to play against, sadly we lack the 2nd.

He is taller then everyone in their roster except grandpa Tyson Chandler who never plays.


Also is twice as strong as all these wings/guards they playing.

More then making the shots, any role player can, but Rondo way to pester and defend Harden makes huge difference. Also the ease he finds Davis who can easily feed on small defenders because Rondo perfectly times every feed.

They have a no chance if James continues to attack like this. AD was not someone they could defend to begin with, but James shooting lights out, and Lakers successfully double teaming Harden, it works. Especially since Russ can't be trusted to play as well as he did in this game.

Danny Green been so disappointing so far. And Avery Bradley’s defensive presence been missed a lot.

Thank god playoff Rondo still seems to exist. We’ll see how long that lasts though.

James is such a ridiculous beast in post-season play.

Dumb statement dude. He’s pretty clearly a top 5 player of all time. Just because some retards constantly make it about James vs Jordan and the stupid GOAT debate, doesn’t take anything away from his greatness on the court.

What do you think about rumours that Giannis is seriously considering Raptors as a free agency destination because of Masai Ujiri? Been seeing them and the Heat as the top two contenders in most rumours lately. Would be very cool to see him the buck the trend and go for the Raptors. Joining Siakam after next season would make that team pretty damn exciting.

 

[ALC]

Lol no way he goes to the Raptors

I can see him going to Dallas or Golden State

Would love him on the Lakers, but doubt he’d join Bron. AD - Giannis front court would be insane.

Could see him join Butler in Miami. Would be a very good fit imo. If the Bucks decide to trade him because he won’t resign, Golden State definitely has the assets for that trade, so he could go there.

What is the Mavs cap situation like?

Yeah they have zero answer for him. Easy series for James and Davis

We gotta work on this in the off-season. Hopefully we can trade away Green but it will be very tough

they’re maxed out but they have a lot of average players on high salaries. And Luka still has a few years on his rookie contract, they can make space for him

 

[Bianconero81]

Hopefully Giannis goes to a team where he can build his own dynasty, not piggyback on someone else's. The reason I dislike sellouts like that fake poser Lebum and the shitcunt KD is because of defecting and trying to build/join super teams. Both of them are incredibly toxic players.

And yes @Post Ironic Lebum is probably top 5 of all time, but he's still a disgusting shitcunt.
