No way Bron misses game 3 for a 'concussion' with 3 days rest.

He'd be better off coming out and playing like ish than sitting.
 
One lone NTer can say this logically but the national media and various people that rarely watched Rockets games can’t make this same observation. Very interesting

The media ain't exactly Basketball Guru's but it would be kinda pointless to make this observation, because this is the Rockets style that got them to 65 Wins. Isos & pick & Rolls is the majority of what they do & they are playing a team Who is built to Defend that. Getting Role players involved is gonna be hard to do against GS when they have been running this basic offense all year. & Dantoni doesn't make adjustments well, they our in for a long series.
 
IF he was playing. You would be right sir...but he might get a pass.
Even if he was healthy the Celtics have no chance against the warriors. They have no chance next year either. The warriors are a different breed man. Y'all ****** just don't understand
 
The trade hot takes were blazing this morning on the radio.

Kyrie/Hayward/Sac 2019 pick for AD
Tatum/Brown for AD
Kyrie for Kawhi

:lol:
All of those trades are lateral moves

Why Kyrie is not valued on the Celtics is beyond me. When that ball movement stuff ain't working and you need some good ol iso basketball he's one of the best in the league
 
All I need to know is lamekilla lamekilla s thoughts on the series

This is another legacy defining moment for Lebron. He’s down 0-2 to a team led by a rook and a sophomore and this is without Kyrie. We get the best out of Lebron when his feet are to the fire though. Their isn’t a Kevin Durant or a Tim Duncan or injured teammates for him to hang an excuse on. Expect him to enforce his will and not just with cute jumpshots. He can win games off this team singlehandedly but of course that isn’t going to win them the series. The team knows that for a lot of them this may be their last time getting this deep into the playoffs. I expect for a lot of them to play Game 3 as if it were a Game 7. Game 4 may be the hardest game of the series for this team however if they are able to win this Game 3. They will have to replicate whatever it is that won them the game and get passed these chemistry isssues they’re having this late in the season. If they can leave Cleveland 2-2, the pressure is on the C’s to protect home court and again having a Rook and a Sophmore in that type of atmosphere may play into Cleveland’s hand. C’s have to go to Cleveland down 3-2, The Cavs will have the energy and excitement of not wanting to to go back to TD Garden and a first finals appearance for a lot of these players as well as Lebron making his 8th straight.
 
Did this happen for real? The camera quality looks like that of a statefarm commercial.

Looks like an argument happened but I’m sure that wasn’t the dialogue.

I’m no doctor but LeBron caught a clavicle to the dome, fell straight down to one knee then went to the locker room. Showed no signs of neck strains but had a slight limp and dazed look.

He comes back and passes up layups, drives and wide open 3’s. I don’t think neck strains cause that level of reluctance. That’s blurry vision from a concussion. It was sealed when he came to the presser protecting his eyes from the lights and wearing headphones to limit loud noises.

All these are symptoms of a concussion, which would probably cause him to miss the next game and effectively lose the series.
Said it last night. No way he sits when the next game is Saturday. He’ll have the be hospitalized for the Cavs to sit him.

It was. Why is it so hard to admit

Pau was the second best player on that team and would’ve been fourth best on the heat. The rest were role players. Read further and saw that your troll game was maxed out. Continue on......
 
Sigh. The Lakers had 5 good to great players on that team while the heat had 3 great players and s bunch of role players. Both teams are just about equal in talent.

Kobe couldn't beat the Celtics until the buss family built a super team for him
