Wowwww 6ers lost. This brazy. I was waiting for Embiid troll post.

Why does every big try to be the clown? Dwight, Shaq and Embiid.

What if Cousins was to act like them outta nowhere. That'll be weird.

Tatum, Brown, Hayward are 3 talented SFs the Celtics will have. None of them can be the 4 IMO. So one would have to come off the bench. If Celtics can just trade Hayward and Horford as a package deal and get Cousins or AD they'll be a serious contender.

Celticd needs pieces but not necessarily Cousins or AD

You don't really need size at the 4 so much these days to get to the top of the nba

You need versatility at each position, veteran leadership and shooting

Al Horford starting at center not beating LeBron

Perhaps not, but Celtics will also get to the rim at-will against Cleveland's pathetic defense.

All dis drip on me gotta keep an extra clip on me...

There are only a handful of physical 4s in the entire league, and none of them play on team's that are particularly good, other than Kevin Love, if they actually put him in the post. Playing the 3 wings together is exactly what the Celtics want to do, and the reason that they acquired all of them, plus Marcus Morris. The ability to switch on everything is more important than just having some a big man to dump the ball down to.

If Ainge wanted Boogie, he already would've gotten him. AD is obviously incredible but would take too much to get most likely and is made of glass.

 

[freddy fig]

Oh should get AD then.

nah

 

[Lovetohate3000]

warriors center is buns and they beat the cavs all the time. this year feels different. wouldnt even be surprised to see cavs go down in the 2nd round

agreed... same way people act like embiid is so hilarious is the same way people used to act like shaq was hilarious... ish is corny af. neither of those dudes is funny. just clowns but they talented so i understand why people eat it up. .

 

[JD617]

Whoops.

 

[hardens beard]

Scumbag Gasol

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

I dont think pelican would trade AD if they have a gun pointed to their head. Thats like lakers trading kobe you would have to empty a whole roster for that trade nobody wins.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

mark got a tech for that. thats dumb. thought he did the right thing by kicking it off the floor.

 

[wavycrocket]

wavycrocket you on this yet?

Of course

Ugh ugh (money bagg voice)

SN to posts ratio through the roof.

D. Mitchell starting to playmake for others comfortable handling the ball already even in traffic

Lauri and Collins battling for the 5th spot on the Rookie First team

Tatum 14 points in the 3rd... Brown and Irving cooking. Team is just too much fun. White Gor Dawn will be byke and when/if the C's get that Laker top 5 pick whether it's AD or someone like Bamba/Ayton

 

[SadBoi]

People ACTUALLY believe that the Celtics beating the cavs?

Is this REALLY a thing?

Hot takes season in full effect.

Thought this was the Fools Wylin’ thread for a minute.

If they had White Gor Dawn it'd be a flip of the coin. RN with Lebby playing these minutes and their defense looking somehow worse than last year, who knows. If they suffer any sort of injury to a key rotation player it could be unraveling

John Collins got some Mick Dice in him, dude has trampoline calves

[Vincent Van Goat]

So when they've been down by 4 points, they've still won a lot of games? This supposed to be saying something?

At this point it's getting spooky with Anderson

I'm also loving how CP got Phx and a Future Conley'less Grizz team as his first two games byke. Perfect way to integrate back in

 

[8pm at msg]

Does Philly has the most talented frontcourt in the league?

Embiid, Simmons, Saric...all versatile big men, the more they play the more overwhelming it'll get for teams to defend against them.

Only argument I can think of is Davis and Cousins.
