I thought Irving said that picture was a fake
is Rubio still "easily" better than him?

Perfect or not, that team would have been dramatically different. Oh well, it didn't pan out, but Duke stole* one the year before so I can't complain.

* They earned it on the court, but was clearly not the best Duke team to ever win a title. But they got it done when it counted.

Unfortunately for Portland it gave Nolan Smith an opportunity to mint some fool's gold.

I have nothing left.
this season is over. Jrue is getting raped by Jennings and probably lost his spot to him now.
No bail outs for us now.

bucks don't want to win this game. but the sixers REFUSE to stop shooting jumpshots
that injury has definitely set him back though
he was in his rookie year. hands down

Was about to go ham, who gives a fuck if it was our best squad. One of the craziest nights of my life

not fake, just posted without his permission. his tweets trying to explain himself were pretty funny.
Gaddang.Did i Konex the celtics? What is going on?
The Celtics always sucked. They just play in the East.
They've been complete trash whenever KG leaves the court, Pierce is the new old Tmac, Rondo is absolutely meaningless for most games despite godlike stats, and their frontcourt is terrible.

pick up a third team
Despite my tag, i'm only a fan of two teams, not the most logical of teams, but hey.
True unfortunately. I was atleast hoping they'd hang on defense but their rebounding is atrocious. They should make a play for pau....I ain't kidding.
whoosh
stay true to yourself, rick fox

You spent your cap space on Jeff Green and you're paying Pierce like he's still a top 25 player. I'll be surprised if you don't find a way to make the playoffs. You might be able to take down the Knicks because they're mentally weak, but that's as far as you're going. If you get the Bulls, Pacers, or Heat in the first round you're done.

I neverrrrr watch the bucks (maybe two or three games in like a month). How has he been this season? I know his stats on most nights are pretty decent, but I always thought he was a chucker who played decent defense. That, and the fact that he has been jockying with Monta for offensive ball possession.
.................
How bad Scott Brooks are when Presti need to sabotage the team to make Harden and Ibaka playing, he need to do it again for get rid Perkins.

To be fair, Irving's jumper being as ridiculous as it is couldn't really be determined from a 13 game sample.
His touch around the rim was also not really known since he just went for foul calls all the time.

That early 2nd rounder from us this year could be valuable too, it was a great trade by Presti. I hate Mullens, but I'll admit he's probably worth a 2nd round pick so I guess it worked out for us too.

He doesn't have to be a pure point.
As long as he doesn't get some of Monta's swagball habits, he should be fine. Rose isn't a pure point either, neither is YNB.
That's where the league is going...for better or worse
Against the heat, 7 games last year. 7 games.
I'm not saying they make the ECF, but who would have thought they'd be game 7 in the ECF last year?
I'm not putting anything by them.
This may be surprising, but according to Sam Smith (Bulls beat writer who is very close friends with Phil Jackson) it was Howard's camp that suggested that the Lakers make an attempt to rehire Phil Jackson, and that it was JERRY Buss who rejected the return of Phil Jackson.

look who's talking
He's already a better point than YNB. Rose is a good comparison, but he's a better shooter and not as athletic.
You can see that he's a good passer, but he gets that tunnel vision going to the hoop too often.
Think about it this way. He was a Lakers fan, and there were problems galore. Now, he's a Celtics fan, and boom, problems galore.
It isn't me. It's him. The Enwitus stink still permeates the championship halls of Lakers management.

Doug has no fucks left to give.
Go home Doug...I'll understand.
That probably has a lot to do with the collective dookie he's been surrounded with too.

They beat the Hawks without Horford and nearly got taken out by the 8 seed Sixers, I was not impressed. The Heat would have swept them if Bosh was healthy.

Smith was also injured last year against the Celtics and KG was a lot better than he was this year.

I dont like this argument, cause Boston was missing Bradley, their best perimeter defender. "if they had a healthy Bosh"...well he did knock down 5 threes in that one game to dagger them. he wasnt invisible out there.
Wade was a bitch all throughout the playoffs. Its not like it would've mattered because they couldn't rely on Wade consistently at all.

Right after I praise someone in this draft, they start playing terribly.

I forgot Smith was playing hurt, makes their run even less impressive.
