NBA Playoff Megathread

[dnc]

The Celtics are about to win a second round playoff game without there first, second and fourth best players. That’s assuming you have Brown rated higher than Tatum (which I do) and Irving rated higher Rozier (questionable). Brad Stevens is a god.

I'd go Irvin, Heyward, Horford, Tatum, Brown, Rozier but it's highly debatable for sure.

At this poont with Pop on the down side of his career Brad Stevens is the best coach in the NBA.

if the GSW are able to do what they should do this Season, which is win an NBA Championship, it's Steve Kerr. Getting a bunch of try hards out of the 1st round in a "loaded East" isn't enough for me.

I like Kerr a lot and I'd put him at #3, and in the first tier. If I'm buying a team and I can steal either one I'm taking Stevens over him though.

Steve Kerr doesn’t even have the highest winning percentage as Golden States coach since he became their coach.

This is the Phil Jackson/Doc Rivers misinterpretation.

Salem has had shit running down his leg this whole thread so no surprise here.

This is Year 8 of Lebron holding the East hostage. We've seen great coaches and players come and go. We've seen Next Years Champions more than once. Tibbs was big in Chicago and Rose was MVP. Indiana with George made it to the ECF twice and have lost in 5 of the 8 years to LeBron

When Lebron went to Boston when they still had the Big Three and took them out there were not going to be any challengers until Lebron leaves or retires

You Jordan fan boys have no idea how much the game will miss Lebron.

Stevens lost two Final Fours and does more with less and oh boy they run cool plays and Boston is going to be great some day

Fuck that. Win something then pop off

Beat Lebron. If you're that great a coach you have the better team. Do something with it other than lose the ECF like you lost to Duke you fucking fuck

No I am not which is why it is fucking stupid to give a shit about Brad Fucking Stevens. He's George Karl. Big fucking deal

 

[Gladstone]

George Karl?

 

[RaceBannon]

I could have gone Mike Reilly

Karl won 60 games more than once with more than one franchise. No rings

 

[Gladstone]

 

[RoadDawg55]

That’s insanely high.

 

[allpurpleallgold]

Lebron lost two Finals just like Stevens lost two Final Fours. It’s almost like you have to lose before you win.

Stevens was one shot away from the natty with Butler. Hes been a great coach at every stop, hes not George Karl.

 

[Gladstone]

watching the cavs play d gives me anxiety

 

[Kaepsknee]

The Raptors are makin my Cougs blush.

 

[PurpleThrobber]

Jesus. That was god awful.

 

[RaceBannon]

I long ago thought LeBron would slow down. At this point nothing would surprise me. He openly admitted he was extremely exhausted and hadn't even thought about Toronto yet. I'll predict the Cavs get annihilated by like 40 in game 1 but split the road openers and ultimately win in 6/7.

Legit thought this would happen

But if it's close the best record in the East great coached Raptors choke

I remember when Lebron wasn't clutch.

James owns the East

I give props to winners. You love try hard losers.

Not much left to ponder dare.

 

[Gladstone]

Shocked they looked that good in game 1. Toronto also went ice cold. LeBron is in their heads. Wildly entertaining game.

So you’ve traded in your random political stance generator for the logical fallacy generator.

Not a good look.

I admire your tonedeafness to continually double down all the while every single poster here thinks you're a derpy moron.
