    Im so proud of this team, could not be more happier for Brett Brown. Probably has the worst coaching record in history (who have coached for more than a few seasons) but I reckon he's one of the best in the league right now.

    Miami were the last team I wanted the Sixers to face seeded 5-8 in the playoffs, they usually play really well against us. They brought a physical game to Philly and I believe we responded really well. Sixers can learn a lot from this series.

    Will be pretty sad if D Wade just played his last game. Been watching him play for basically as long as I've been watching Bball itself honestly

    Yep he was super trash, needs to go.

    Sadly the exposure he got in this playoff series, not many teams are gonna bite. Probably wont get much in return for him, but there might be 1 idiotic GM out there.

    The laughable part is i don't think anybody is doing this. Hes an all star being added to a 55 win team, who would have probably been closer to 60 if the other guys could have stayed on the floor. I don't think anybody is saying they would beat the Warriors, but the East would have been theirs this year and may have been with just Kyrie and Smart.

    Kyrie/Rozier
    Brown/Smart
    Hayward/Tatum
    Morris/Theis
    Horford/Monroe/Baynes

    That team is deep, especially now that we know how good Brown, Tatum and even Rozier are. Still have incoming 19' picks from the Kings, Grizzlies, Clippers and other younger players to throw in trades. Honestly hope we go into next year with this team intact, I think Brown is an All Star caliber guy next year and Tatum takes as big a step as Jaylen took this year.

    I’m honestly not worried about Hayward coming back from this injury, more about Kyrie.

    Philly would giv
    Got the 2 seed without them most of the year. Philly looks great rn but If Boston is healthy their rotation is a deeper and they have Stevens.

    @Poohdini thats Trent, he goes against all Boston teams just to spite me.

    He’s a pathetic loser lol

    That’s another thing I meant to touch on is the Stevens effect on Hayward. That guy gets the best out of everyone he coaches.

    This Bucks Celtics series is going 7. Want to go to game 6 at the Bradley Center so bad, but I have an annual NFL draft party every year at my house. 1 TV will have the draft and the other the Bucks game. Neighbors are going to hate me even more now.

    No doubt. Bradley and Isiah didn't look close to the same level they were at last year, even when healthy. I really like Snyder as well so not sure how much more Stevens can get out of him but Boston's roster is obviously more talented than Utah's. I'm sure he'll back to borderline All NBA status next season.

    that's still pretty good for a casual fan. i'm similar to you. i've always just liked certain players like t-mac, stockton, malone, etc. i like multiple different sports, but the Vikings are the only team i'm really into.

    for teams like the bucks, its hard for them to draw stars to their team because Milwaukee isn't the most attractive market. most players just aren't going to want to come there. so they pretty much have to get everything from the draft. and the star players they draft.....they gotta try to convince them to stay with the team.......which isn't easy to do

    and in the NBA, having stars is clearly more important than the other 3 major american sports. its very much a star driven league. my point is.....it almost feels like the bucks have no chance...........because they can't draw those big name players to their team

    All over the internet on numerous sites, not going to list them all off but plus every Celtics fan I know. Granted they are kind of r-----s lol. You guys have always been pretty reasonable. I agree that I’d be more worried about Kyrie’s knee tho.

    They've got the ammo to make a move but I'm not sure I would unless it was for like AD or Giannis.

    The only thing that will draw big names to Milwaukee will be players that want to play with Giannis. Just can't compete with Chicago or more attractive cities. To compete in smaller cities you have to not just draft a superstar. But a superstar that makes others better and wants to be here. Giannis could be that guy but we will see. Bucks do have a new arena that they have to fill so I expect them to back up the Brinks truck for him.
