Bing Bong Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I was running out of hope until this season. KP is something else. Phil was the worst. Love Melo, but him and KP didn't seem to gel. Now that it's KP's team I'm more excited than I've been since Melo in the playoffs. Definitely a Hornacek fan. My biggest beef is giving Tim Hardaway Jr. max contract, he's playing alright and all. But man, you don't think Lebron or some other top dollar free agent would jump ship to play with KP after this year? Tim's taking that cap away. If Ntilikina improves (wanted/still want Dennis Smith Jr, so bad), and he looks pretty decent tbh.. I'm excited to see him, KP, Kanter playing together for the next few years and maybe a splash FA signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 A thought occurred to me last night and well as a Lakers fan I love the idea of it. The Celtics are playing great this year and everyone is all over Stevens and Kyrie. All well and good but I see no way LeBron doesn't go ham in the playoffs to single handledly take them out. So this season will likely be all for naught. No way Lebron doesn't hold a grudge and a motivated LeBron is still by far the most dangerous player in the league. Somehow his jumper is better than ever and he is shooting 43% from 3 after being a career 34% shooter. That is going to help him age well but to my original point I don't see how the Celtics can take him and the Cavs out. I'm hoping for Cavs/Celts and Rockets/Warriors Conference finals. Both of those would be must see tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez it looked bad but KP missed 2 games. yes but your fellow fans are Boston scum. Yeah, I get that. But, I think Celtics fans are a bit different that fans of other Boston franchises. Maybe I am kidding myself...I am not from Boston, hate all other teams from the area. A lot of players have the same feeling about them as you, which is why they always have a tough time drawing big name free agents. But, once they get there, they love it. I am no fan of the city of Boston, but I think they are a great franchise. I also think the NBA fans there "get it". They are in general, a very knowledgeable fan base. They cheer for the other team when they do something special...and they respect the game. As a lifelong Bills and Sabres fan, I sometimes wish our fan base would follow their lead. I absolutely love the team they have built this year...they are built for the long haul...not the quick fix. Not sure if they'll get past LeBron (though I like their chances much more than last year), but I know it is a smart franchise, it isn't futile to root for them, because the franchise is putting as much effort into building a winner as the fans are cheering for them to win one. It's the way it should be. On 12/7/2017 at 12:44 PM, section122 said: A thought occurred to me last night and well as a Lakers fan I love the idea of it.

Both of those would be must see tv. You may very well be right, IRT to the Celtics/LeBron... I think LeBron is awesome, and the Cavs seem to be finding a groove right now. I do know though, if they meet again in the playoffs, it will be a great series (better than last years' ECF) because the Celtics are significantly better than the team they had last year. It still might not be enough to take down LeBron, but he is getting a little older...he won't be able to carry a team on his back, every year, forever. Either way, I have no problem rooting for LeBron James, if he makes it to another final, even at the cost of my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. However, if they kept playing the way they did for about the first 15 games of this season, I think it would put a bit or wear on LeBron...that guy has logged a lot of miles in the NBA. Of course, he was fantastic in the playoffs last year, but he did have a few games along the way, where he looked beat up. Regardless, while I want the Celtics to represent the Eastern Conference in the finals, I will be pulling for whichever team takes on the West.

They've always been getting their hopes up for some player or another before Giannis. It's a fun game, with minimal severe injuries, especially not to the head. It's always on, the super stars come off like decent people. It's always going to be a decent game between winning teams. My only issue is having a team like the Warriors turn the all-stars to constantly shuffle a super team together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
