Can Boston win the championship grand slam?

Triumph · May 8, 2019

The Celtics have never been the same dynasty since Larry Legend and his crew.

These Celtics are frauds basking off the glory of the great Celtics teams of old. Those teams of yesteryear had heart and never quit like these show boat pretenders. Nobody will remember these clowns in 10 years. NBA stinks these days anyhow.

Lets not ignore that the self proclaimed Genius is getting lit up on the defensive end as well.

The Bucks are also, you know, just a better team.

NBA offenses:
Either swing the ball around perimeter and launch .
Or drive and kick out and launch (1 pass).
The Bird era was electric in large part because of the passing creativity that was infectious.
The cut to the basket play has all but disappeared from the game.

That may be true for us old time fans, but these players barely know who Larry Legend was and certainly aren't connecting themselves to that "glory." To them, Bird, McHale, Parish, DJ, et al were just a bunch of slow guys from the 80's who played in a league of inferior athletes.

at the simple truth in that. And they are doing it without Brogdon, who from what I'm reading could be playing, but they are resting him for the next round because they know they don't need him for this one.

Bingo

No team passed the ball like the old Celts. They created opportunities and found the open man via passing. They were smart, tough and no detail was too small.

I don't think this is the insult you think it is. The Celtics would be much better if they had Kyle Lowry, as right now Kyrie's playing a lot worse than Lowry.

Meh, Lowry has been ass in like half the games at least. Nobody is winning anything with Lowry.

Watch the Lakers and Pistons in that era and get back to me.

Mike Jordan never won anything until Bird was gone.

He never won anything until he got Pippen and Phil Jackson.

NBA offenses: two guys play one-on-one while eight other guys stand around and watch.

Why would you think that's what I believe? There's no evidence to suggest it.

VectorPrime · May 8, 2019

Basically everyone believes that the NBA that existed when they were teenagers was the best the league ever was.

PatsDeb · May 8, 2019

Looks like the Celts are going to let us down in our quest, but 3 out of 4 ain't bad!
