People forget he was the best defensive play on arguably the best defensive team of all time(2008 celtics)

this is a fantastic post. <3

 

[Blackace]

Case in point again, Boston celtics 2008 are considered the best defensive team of all time.

if you started watching basketball in 2006 maybe.. you'd be right..

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

I found this but I can't think of when I'll ever use it so....here it goes:

 

[DY_nasty]

Hawks are turrible

 

[Cloudy]

ATL's offense is so shitty

 

[Blackace]

I found this but I can't think of when I'll ever use it so....here it goes:

now is as good as time as any..

 

[Knux-Future]

You still suck dicks Iggy

 

[giri]

ESPN says so!

Oh, I see.

 

[Emwitus]

Well i'm waiting for people to pull up the stats.....so will see who started watching in 06.

 

[Mothman91]

lmfao Knux.

You so funny.

 

[DY_nasty]

Hawks are weak like Pacers.

Weak body.

 

[aznpxdd]

Boston celtics 2008 are considered the best defensive team of all time.

Wat?

Spoiler

WAT?

 

[SoulPlaya]

The Bulls don't seem to have much fight in them now. Their heart has been ripped out.

 

[Knux-Future]

Turner is trying to swag out...

Doug wants to pull him so bad

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Nice shot Turner.

 

[Cloudy]

I feel Boston is a bigger threat to Miami than Chicago but they match up worse with the Bulls. Rose's injury might benefit them the most if they just get their heads out of their asses

 

[Herpes Reasons]

it's a fact that bowen wasn't a great defender until he played with TD..It is an opinion that playing with TD allowed him to be ultra aggressive and kick guys in the face

bowen playing lockdown D isn't proof TD played better defense.
there are instances in which teams played fantastic team defense and not because of defensive monster in the paint.

 

[Mothman91]

Turner is going in.

 

[DominoKid]

2k shit

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Evan Turner domination.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Celtics aren't a threat to anything except next year's tank teams.

 

[PBY]

Sixers/Pacers road to the finals?

 

[Sanjuro]

It's like they are trained to be afraid of offensive rebounding.

 

[charsace]

The championship Knicks teams had more defensive impact than the Celtics. They locked up West, Baylor and Wilt in the finals.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Evan Turner playing like he always should have.

 

[Blackace]

Well i'm waiting for people to pull up the stats.....so will see who started watching in 06.

without looking at stats, because I don't have the time right now.. but the 2nd 3peat Bulls..

 

[DY_nasty]

You're the one who should pull them up. We'd be glad to oblige.

I just gave you an example with Gerald Wallace was easily one of the best wing defenders of the decade who not only routinely dug in asses man to man but also was a premium help defender. The only guy other than Hakeem and Robinson to put up 2 bpg/2 spg in one season. He was THE wing defender of your argument.

And the defense that year was 18th in the league.

Meanwhile, Dwight Howard can have one of the best defenses in the league with his best defender being Pietrus. And because of his impact on the game, he can make guys like Hedo, Jameer, and Shard look like above average defenders. Bogut as well - and he never had anyone worth talking about.

Wallace had Okafor and Felton - who were both at the time very, very good defenders.

So shoot

 

[Syphon Filter]

Sixers/Pacers road to the finals?

bulls will win,i think celtics will be your ec opponent.

 

[Knux-Future]

Turner is going in.

Doug Collins is not pleased.

He knows he can't put Meeks in so prepare for Lou Isos all de time

 

[SoulPlaya]

Deng is 3 of 10.

I told yall to trade him!!!!

 

[Nobility]

Well, the Hawks had a good playoff run.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

76ers are shooting better than they have in months.

Wat?

Spoiler

WAT?

There are some arguments for it:

http://celticshub.com/2009/09/25/friday-fun-with-numbers-the-08-celtics-were-freaking-awesome/

I don't know if it's that interesting to argue though.

 

[Cipherr]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN Boston going off right now

 

[diehard]

Paul still got it

 

[DY_nasty]

Hawks are SO fucking weak body

PIERCE PARKING HIS CAR GODDAMN

 

[Emwitus]

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[dream]

MVPierce, my god, this is the single greatest individual opening round performance I have ever seen

 

[Zep]

125 Million Dollars.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

without looking at stats, because I don't have the time right now.. but the 2nd 3peat Bulls..

TD's chip Spurs, 2004 Pistons...

 

[RBH]

*lights penis on fire*

 

[DY_nasty]

Atlanta just lost their best player?

Is it the same one that gets paid 120 million US dollars?

 

[Herpes Reasons]

i dont watch much 76ers games, but damn, Doug Collins has aged horribly the past year.

 

[Emwitus]

without looking at stats, because I don't have the time right now.. but the 2nd 3peat Bulls..

Give me a minute....

 

[Blackace]

TD's chip Spurs, 2004 Pistons...

bad boy pistons

 

[Knux-Future]

Not impressed, bro.

 

[charsace]

You have the championship Piston teams, 90's Sonics, 90's Knicks, Ralph Sampson/Hakeem Rockets, 90's Bulls, Bird Celtics and some other teams that I would put above 2008 Boston.

 

[Black Mamba]

KG was good in gaurding 5s and 4s who didn't weigh wildly more than he did and could over power him.....So does that mean he sucked on defense? People forget he was the best defensive play on arguably the best defensive team of all time(2008 celtics)

Duncan's teams were better than Boston's on defense.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/blog/?p=7239

Also, 2004 Spurs were under 95ppg. 2008 Celtics were over 98pp100.

Those are both players's best, IIRC.


Wow Boston. And knee spain for Josh Smith

 

[Syphon Filter]

dam knux phi putting in work

 

[diehard]

So does Rose out make your defense suck too?
