I think the Celtics beat the Raptors comfortably in a 7 game series
Not worried about it. Prior to last night they've won 9 in a row. Draymond should be back after the Allstar break so the defense and communication will be much better. Offensively Klay is jacking shots but it's okay for now. He's been shooting 45 percent from 3 in the last 6 gamesThis Warriors team is not playing well at all. Too many guys looking for their own shot without trying to pass, too many 3's being jacked up, and too many guys that have been extremely iffy on defense. It really sucks that Kuminga is in there playing his ass off but won't even touch the ball on the offensive end for 3-4 minutes at a time.
You're right . I award you ,nothing .I think the Celtics beat the Raptors comfortably in a 7 game series
Yeah, it's not who's shooting that I'm worried about, it's that there's very little ball movement before a shot goes up and it's leading to a couple guys not touching the ball for long stretches. Kerr has talked before about how their ball movement keeps guys engaged, but they're not doing that.Not worried about it. Prior to last night they've won 9 in a row.

Even without theis. They whopped that ass. The raptors team has no center other than Precious so it's going to be 7 games unless a major Boston player gets injured .Raps had a good chance before the Celtics got back Theis. Toronto has never had an answer for him with Boston for whatever reason. It's strange but true.
If your centers are a washed up Al Horford and a 29 year-old Theis who was coming off the bench on the Rockets (and put up worse stats than Precious when he did get played), I don't think there's much room to say Danny moves the needle in his current age and with his current performance.Even without theis.

Boot Butt is a cool 5, i'll give the Celtics that, but he's a void on offense. I'd say of the four 5s mentioned, he's the best of them, the most complete player at the moment.
Likewise, the Heat are just a much deeper team at the moment. If I had to choose who makes it out of the East this year, it's between them and the Bucks barring an/multiple injuries; we saw undrafted Yurtseven look like a defensive stalwart. That's depth.True that's why I expect the raptors to make it to the second round . However , if they face the heat in the second round it maybe a blowout or a close series . I just don't see Miami sweeping the raptors .
I hope the Nets lose early solely for tolerating his bullshit. Harden was right to push back when it seemed like no one else would.
Just saw this. I hear you. My posts in the Harden thread sucked. Part bias, part uneducated. My bad manOfficial Staff CommunicationI'll be straight up, as the designated NBA mod I'm down to let conversations happen, but this questioning mental illness stuff is crossing the line and it's about to get spooky in here.
If you are showing your ass on how uneducated you are when it comes to mental health, I'm pretty much not giving any more passes beyond this post right here. Just fall back and talk basketball from now on or continue on and find out what breaking the site's TOS means. Enough is enough.
I can't believe we're even having this "I call bullshit" level discussion with a guy who literally has never been able to shoot jump shots in public.
He would average like +1 point per gameImagine Luka's numbers if he can get his 3pt % up to like 37-38%. It's currently 31.6%
Obviously the assumption is Green will be backRemind me why people favor the Warriors over the Suns when Green might not be back for the playoffs?

Wait and see what happens next season at the deadline.Just seen all the trade news. I'm glad I don't have to hear about Simmons trades anymore.
The warriors had a very strong start, Curry was playing lights out and that was with Klay and their overhyped rookies being out. Now they fallen back to earth a little bit, but their 2nd best player has been out since early JanuaryRemind me why people favor the Warriors over the Suns when Green might not be back for the playoffs?
Who said Draymond might not be back for the Playoffs? LolRemind me why people favor the Warriors over the Suns when Green might not be back for the playoffs?
Looking back at that Nets - Rockets James Harden deal. That might be this decades Nets- Celtics ripoff trade.
James Harden was acquired by the Brooklyn Nets from the Houston Rockets in exchange for Jarrett Allen, Rodions Kurucs, Caris LeVert, Taurean Prince, the draft rights to Sasha Vezenkov, a Swap 2021 1st round picks, a 2022 1st round pick (BRK own), a Swap 2023 1st round picks, a 2024 1st round pick (BRK own), a Swap 2025 1st round picks, a 2026 1st round pick (BRK own), a Swap 2027 1st round picks and cash.
But Klay just got back!The warriors had a very strong start, Curry was playing lights out and that was with Klay and their overhyped rookies being out. Now they fallen back to earth a little bit, but their 2nd best player has been out since early January
Fallen back to Earth a little bit by winning 9 out of their last 10 games?The warriors had a very strong start, Curry was playing lights out and that was with Klay and their overhyped rookies being out. Now they fallen back to earth a little bit, but their 2nd best player has been out since early January
the best team this year at it, in fact.
Those people made their minds about the Warriors in the 1st 30-35 games of the season.
Beginning?Gary Trent Jr. Was a steal for the Raptors
Pascal is beginning to find his groove again
I need to see how he performs under pressure when the stakes are high, against elite competition.
They started the season 23-5, since then they're 17-8 or some shit like that, so yes.Fallen back to Earth a little bit by winning 9 out of their last 10 games?
Draymond has been out for over a month. Yet their record has been 17-8 since. It's very encouraging actuallyThey started the season 23-5, since then they're 17-8 or some shit like that, so yes.
I didn't even realize there was a separate Harden/Simmons thread, but one glance in there and NinjaScooter is doing God's work
