@plumdog. You can't spend a better hour than watching KG's 'Area 21' show today. Joined by The Truth, Rondo, Perk, Big Baby, Doc, and even Sam Cassell. Only bad part is that Ray is still in the dog house :( #FreeRayAllen

Nice bit of nostalgia :')

It was so amazing to see the guys back together even though Scal wasn't there :(. A few things:

-Perk was the MVP of this imo. Between him revealing that KD reached out to Russ when he broke the record and his take on Ray having to reach out first, you can tell all the guys had a tonne of respect for him and you can see why he's viewed as such a leader and vet presence on all the teams he's been on

-Big Baby and Rondo were so uneasy with Doc on, you can see a lot of shower has gone down esp with Baby

-The ending to the Facebook live stream... What happened there?

Haha what an ending. Gee the Spurs looked poo with Leonard out though. Aldridge is not the guy he was at Portland. Needed a long range three and an unheard of and1 from Danny Green to clinch it. Hopefully we can scrape another win together over the next two and Leonard is okay :'(

Draft combine been going on for anyone interested. ESPN got some coverage, but as always NBA one is really just for the fringe players. I'll be watching just to see some of the college stars that aren't freshman in the same court together some for the last time

"Al Horford is overpaid" LMAO ;D

He has been incredible throughout these playoffs.

Jay

Avery outplaying Wall these last two games. Wall has been very sloppy on D today.

That's the most crushing Celtics loss I can remember in a long time.

Isaiah with a horrible turnover and a terrible 3PA where he didn't even run a play.

Flower.

Surprised no one here has any mean words for Zaza! Was definitely a bad look for him.

If Kawhi misses a game or two and the Warriors win the title will there be another asterisk?????

Jay

Yeah I think that was a very dodgy close out tbh.

Also now you mention Zaza.. "We're going to game 7, baby. Game 7! Game 7!"
Let's go Celtics

They still havent achieved anything in my books. anything less then a title this year after bringing in the 2nd best player in the world is a failure.

Portland without Jusuf Nurkić
Jazz are no good anyway and Gobert wasnt healthy
Now Zaza puts his feet under the Spurs best player after already having lost Parker.

Title Run

Pelicans no good (but they earnt it as number 1 seed) and Holdiay was out
Memphis without Colney
Rockets without beverley
Cavs without Irving and Love

Last Year

Rockets - decent win against a ok team
Portland - decent win against a ok team
OKC - great win against an elite team
Cavs - Loss

So really in the last 3 years they have had 1 win against an healthy elite team. beaten 2 solid teams in Portalnd and Rockets and then beat a bunch of average teams with injured key players then taken out some elite teams with mass injuries like Cavs, Spurs

Tbf to Golden State they didn't have a full team last year at all during the playoffs. Curry coming back from injury then he comes back and Bogut goes down.

The fact teams are rarely ever healthy come this time of the year you can only beat who you play, maybe it should come back to the NBA to try and avoid this.

a few injuries are from reckless plays though.

like Zaza, you just cant put your feet in the landing zone of a player. he is the MVP of the series already.


its all true can only play those in front of you.

i personally gave them more respect from 2016 in a loss then 2015 in a win. They where all round elite last year just bowing out to a full strength cavs with a top 5 player of all time.

i rate them highly i just didnt think they where a all time great team that next level down. With durrant they can be an all time great team though.

helps when you have 4 top 20 players and the rest of the league has 2 max.

Celtics through after a gruelling series. Reckon they get swept by the Cavs?
