Rozier is an RFA after next season

He’s not under C’s control for the next 3 years

This playoff is making him worth more and more his low cost will provide a very nice return
Two more years then RFA. That's 3 years of control
 
I would love to see celtics vs rockets in the finals but might get warriors vs cavs or rockets vs cavs. This cavs team might be the weakest that lebron has has had and they still find a way to win games. That's why it's the leastern conference.

We will give Lebron all he handle.
 
hes a streaky shooter. and he's prone to playing hero ball. his shot selection at times is poor. but he is an elite defender. he can guard anybody. he does it all on defense.

I get that that is the narrative. But it's not reality. This happens a lot in pro sports. A guy goes from being properly rated to being overrated. Rondo comes to mind. Lebron comes to mind. His first few years in the league he was a bad defender and people probably went overboard in criticizing his defense. When he matured as a player and got better defensively people properly rated his defense for a very short period of time. Then the pendulum started swinging in the other direction. Now, for no apparent reason, people are completely overrating his defense and have been for a long time.

Smart is a solid defender when he wants to be. He's not an elite defender. It isn't even almost worth what he does to the offense with his constant unforced turnovers and brain dead shots.
 
ESPN markets stars, too, as anyone who's ever watched ESPN already knows. When Kyrie plays, he gets his two hours of fellatio. Like it or not, fair or not, Tatum and Brown are not the stars that Embid and Simmons are, at the moment. Last year, when I.T. was the flavor of the month, his testicles never had a drop of dirt on them for more than a second before some media member was licking them clean.

Never contended that Tatum and Brown should be the headliners.. just suggesting as a viewer it was a lot nauseating to hear the continual crap about Embid and Simmons.. keep in mind that Embid has only played in 94 games and Simmons in 81, hardly "stars" that have stood the test of time..

To hear continually how wonderful Embid and Simmons are at the expense of any Boston player or this team is a disservice to the viewer.. if you listen to the announcers both 76'er players are the second coming of something, not sure what.

My expectation as a viewer is something more balanced... the bad thing about this was that there was no broadcast on NBC Sports Boston, so I had no choice...

You are entitled to your opinion no matter how misguided it may be
 
Tatum is a phenomenal player but he needs to work on his FT shooting.

There was a very noticeable Philly bias with the announcers. I got the feeling that there were times when they wanted to cry. Oh well.

there was one play where Rozier toasted somebody and they still tried to talk up the defensive effort on the moment.........it's ESPN and what continues to be their suckage
