Have to give credit where credit is due.

Kyrie's been playing well since he behaved.

You're right. But why did boaton have to get burned along the way

Tougher West, but... Celtics in the East when JT/JB took the reins:
2020: Lost in ECF
2021: Lost in 1st round
2022: Lost in Finals
2023: Lost in ECF
2024: ??

I think it worked out for the better.

It might have delayed the championship run, but we are in a better position to win a chip right now.

Kyrie staying would have meant Kyrie will be the #1 option.

If Kyrie is the #1 guy, I don't think that's a good thing.

As good as Kyrie is on offense, his defense is just average.

What we have now is better than what we could have had with Kyrie.

The simple act of just playing russell west brick alone should be a firable offence.. They are literally way off of him daring him to shoot while his man clogs up all of his teammates.. You can use statistics auto I test.He is a disaster.. How does Ty Lue not see that???

His other option is to play Bones Hyland.

It’s only a matter of time, everyone knows that

Every championship team from the last 43 years has either had a top 5 offense, top 5 defense, or both. Except for three outliers -- 1995 Rockets, 2006 Heat, and 2011 Mavericks.

The top 5 on offense this season are still alive -- BOS, IND, OKC, LAC, DEN.
The top 5 on defense this season are still alive -- MIN, BOS, ORL, OKC, MIA.

Except for Miami, all the teams are either tied in their series, leading, or have won already.

Lakers, Bucks, Pelicans, Mavs, Knicks, Cavs, and Sixers would be outliers if they end up winning the title.

Knicks, Mavs, and Cavs are still alive.

I find it interesting that of the top 9 payroll teams, only 2 (Boston and Denver) are still in the playoffs.

Ant is incredible

[Theocy]

Ant is incredible

Someone will start calling him Air jnr at some stage soon. The guy is ridiculously good. And only 22?

[tfmiii]

Minny not playing around, can Denver continue to play possum in the playoffs?

[JaMarco]

Rudy is an incredible defender. OMG

[Bar Fight]

The Nuggets getting shutdown. Some ridiculous defense by the Wolves

[tfmiii]

Ant is incredible

Love his fire

[JaMarco]

MIN is a horrible matchup for DEN.

[Sweet Serenity]

MIN is a horrible matchup for DEN.

We can too if we play primarily Horford/Porzingis lineups

Nah, MIN bigs have a combination of size/strength BOS doesnt have.

[JaMarco]

This series is going to be a WAR.

[Darthlukey]

Is it just me or are the Nuggets getting the benefit of some lenient calls? Not necessarily horrible calls, but calls you would rather not see called? It's kept them in the game

[Bar Fight]

Naz Reid has been awful
