Celtics have now won 6 games in a row in the playoffs.

 

[VendettaRed07]

I agree but only because I want to pay him more.

1 million a year for every point he scored this game sounds more fair

 

[LyleLanley]

1 million a year for every point he scored this game sounds more fair

That would be a steal.

 

[Hyperactivity]

when people were making lists of teams that had superstars didn't quite a few gaffers say IT was not a superstar and Celtics didn't have any lol

Undisputed Superstars:
Lebron, Curry, KD, Kawhi, Harden, Westbrook

Dicey, but I could see it
CP3, Anthony Davis, John Wall, Giannis

Right underneath the above tier (barely)
IT, Paul George, Butler, Lillard, possibly Conley (really unsure about saying that)

 

[Sanjuro]

We should gas IT at the end of the season. When he wakes up, there will be a new contract where his tooth should go.

 

[msdstc]

What should they do with Smart and Bradley? They can't keep everyone.

Bradley is infinitely more expendable.

 

[BassForever]

Imagine if the celtics had actually done something with that first round pick to get butler or paul george.

 

[friskykillface]

What should they do with Smart and Bradley? They can't keep everyone.

Smart is easily replaceable
Above average Bradley would be a tough let go since his defense is good and unlike Roberson, has an offensive game

 

[metalslimer]

Brad Stevens might actually break even in the W-L column

 

[Tall4Life]

LeBron yawns

IT is to Lebrong as Lavar Ball is to Jordan

IT beats Lebrong every time, you just watch out

 

[Amory]

I don't wanna pay a 5'8 28 year old 300 million fucking dollars over the next 5 years

I do

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Remember when everyone called the Celtics done because their star is a "midget" 2 weeks ago?

 

[TTG]

Congrats to the Celtics, they played very well. I want to trash Washington, but it's about Boston tonight.

 

[commish]

IT had a good game and all, but Wiz gave that game away. Bad defense all over the place.

 

[LyleLanley]

Imagine if the celtics had actually done something with that first round pick to get butler or paul george.

So that they could get in the way of IT?

 

[Bread]

Haven't been this hyped for a win since...the Pierce over Lebron shot in Game 5 2012.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Brad Stevens might actually break even in the W-L column

Just like Lebron might do that with his Finals record.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

What's more important to the Warriors? KD's health or Steven Kerr?

Just like Lebron might do that with his Finals record.

lol

 

[Tom Penny]

I wish jae crowder was not fucking crap in the playoffs. ITs legend continues to grow. Fucling unreal.

You don't like him though... you gotta deal with his deficiencies if you want a closer because they ain't got one otherwise.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

IT is incredible...

Haven't been this hyped for a win since...the Pierce over Lebron shot in Game 5 2012.

Was just thinking this! Heat are my favorite team, but that 07-08 Celtics team procured the Celtics a soft spot in my heart. Go Celtics!

No KAT. Whut.

 

[Hyperactivity]

The Bulls and Rondo were stuntin' on them. Still weakest 1st seed I've seen. Lovable squad, but an ECF appearance would have them getting swept worse than the Hawks were in 2015

 

[Cornbread78]

Did IT really just show up Wall?

How does that happen?

 

[Hyperactivity]

No KAT. Whut.

Not yet no. C'mon, at least 1 playoff appearance ffs.

Did IT really just show up Wall?

How does that happen?

Wall got gassed, Celtics are Westbrooking him, and Beal hasn't helped things

 

[sf2fanatic]

IT is to Lebrong as Lavar Ball is to Jordan

IT beats Lebrong every time, you just watch out

😂😂

 

[Servbot24]

IT really is the best bargain in the NBA. Better than Curry and LeBron

 

[TTG]

Remember when everyone called the Celtics done because their star is a "midget" 2 weeks ago?

And then Rondo got hurt. Again, all credit to the Celtics, they had to stay with them and then win the game, but Washington choked like dogs.

 

[Sanjuro]

Did IT really just show up Wall?

He lived long enough to see himself become Joe Johnson.

 

[Mrbob]

These three point flop fouls are awful.

 

[Hyperactivity]

....

No.

 

[Chase17]

Will laugh if Amir starts game 3

 

[Servbot24]

....

No.

Okay not better than Curry

 

[commish]

Better player than some of those dudes you listed. I'd list Kyrie up there as well. And Brook Lopez.

 

[LyleLanley]

 

[Mory Dunz]

Curry should do that more often tbh. That's the move nowadays so...

 

[Tom Penny]

Next game will probably even out. Morris will miss more shots. Beal will hit more. Wall will play good but not thaaat good. Wizards are really good at home and Celtics haven't had their brick city 3 game so it will still likely be a long series.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

I said god damn.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Better player than some of those dudes you listed. I'd list Kyrie up there as well. And Brook Lopez.

Yeah I'm not taking your opinion on this. Kyrie hasn't done shit without Lebron next to him. And Brook Lopez is great, potential all-star if the Nets were better, but no.

Giannis is fun to watch but at this point in time I think he is under Paul George. CP3 is really not a super star in this day and age either. Maybe a star of under achieving.

When I think of guys I want taking the last shot I don't see CP3 and Giannis over Paul George or IT.

Lillard is no where near that super star tier. I love Conley but neither is he.

 

[Servbot24]

He didn't really do anything, legit foul imo. He made sure it was noticed though.

Celtics are never losing again.

Yeah and blew it all up? Definitely.

You don't like him though... you gotta deal with his deficiencies if you want a closer because they ain't got one otherwise.

Ive Already had tons of crow over IT openly so guess you missed that. Either way IT can still drive me nuts for instance his "defense" on rondo. For me at this point I know IT is worth a max, hes certainly earned it, I just dont know if the celts are 1 player away with how they're built. Regardless I'm enjoying this ride while also preparing for the lottery just a few weeks away.

 

[friskykillface]

Will laugh if Amir starts game 3

Playoff Amir is waiting to be unleashed

 

[metalslimer]

Curry should do that more often tbh. That's the move nowadays so...

Considering how much he doesn't get the fouls on 3s I can see why he doesn't more often.

 

[Undefined]

is he better than the real isiah?

Lillard is no where near that super star tier. I love Conley but neither is he.

When I think of guys I want taking the last shot, I see Robert Horry, and then Kyrie. Doesn't mean shit about them being stars

Yeah Giannis is going to be great but he isn't yet. He needs a couple more years. Lillard is legit though, give that man some respect

 

[friskykillface]

If it was the #1 pick for George I'm sure Ainge would have done it

Bird wanted like 4 players + the pick

Now bird stepped down and George is gone

 

[msdstc]

Giannis is just inconsistent, but id take him all day over pg13 given his age and development.

 

[VeeP]

is he better than the real isiah?

🤔 IT beat Jordan, IT can't beat Lebron.
