Warriors got extremely lucky with injuries so far.Durant going down is a great example of how you just never know in sports. Now the Celtics are a fiery trainwreck of course, but the idea that they or any team couldn’t win because the Warriors are unstoppable suddenly doesn’t seem like such a certainty.
I meant hometown in that he plays for my home team.He's just a mercenary signing that didn't pan out. I wouldn't really consider him a "hometown player." Or great for that matter.
The Pats also beat two 12 win teams en route to the SB....and then beat a 13 win team too....
It will never happen of course, but I think the sport would improve exponentially if they got rid of the three.
Yet Red had the Celtics shooting three pointers more than most teams. Chris Ford hit the first three pointer in NBA history and he and Larry finished second and third, respectively, in three point field goal percentage in the first season it was implemented.I remember Red's reaction when they came up with the 3 pointer. He didn't like it and thought that teams should get 3 points for getting it to the basket.

Yes, Red was like Bill. The league office can and could manipulate the rules all they want, but in the end, those two would use the changes to their advantage.No surprise that Red would use it even if he didn't like it. I'm just glad that the NBA, back then, didn't go crazy with the 3 pointer. I got to see a lot of great passing and fast break basketball before it ended.
think about this. the only decade since 1900 a boston team didnt win a title was the 90s. mind boggling.obviously we did not win them, but the mid 80s our teams went nuts also.

Yeah only the Celtics won, but I remember Boston being the center of the Sports world back then too.

Irving a top-10-calibre player? No Feckin Way...not even close.He’s indisputably a great player unless you don’t consider a top-10 player in the league great.
C’s will run the table starting Wed!
And the Celtics get killed on the boards in virtually every game, and lose to good teams as a result. That's Stevens' MO before and after Kyrie. It's maddening.
