IT should have scored 70.

General managers wouldn't be general managers (at least they wouldn't be good ones) if they decided contract value based on two games.

See Jerome James:
New York Knicks (2005–2009)
After the 2004–05 season, James signed a 5-year, $30 million free-agent contract with the Knicks on the strength of an outstanding performance in the 2 playoff series in which he tripled his regular-season statistics.[6] He arrived at his first training camp out of shape and in his first season he only averaged 3.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 9 minutes per game. James missed much of the season due to injury and when he was not injured, he frequently played insignificant minutes. James was suspended on January 2, 2006 for not being prepared to practice.


This is an extreme example (but point taken). IT has consistently been a top offensive guard for a long time now. There is too much data out there to focus on two playoff games where he was injured and surrounded by little to no offensive help (it's really crazy what Stevens and IT have been able to do with this offense the last 2 1/2 years without a second scorer).

Is anyone even gonna watch the ECF now?

I'm probably gonna pass.


How is this worse than Leonard getting hurt? The Celtics got blown out both games while Thomas was on the court. The Spurs were blowing out the Warriors before Leonard got hurt. With Leonard, the Spurs had a legitimate shot against the Warriors. With Thomas, the Celtics were getting trounced by the Cavs easily.

Because a Spurs team minus Leonard is still respectable. Are the Celtics without IT even a playoff team?

That's just unwatchable basketball. The only reason anyone would be tuning in now (outside of Cavs/Celts fans) is to see how much the Cav's can run up the score.

All that flopping will do that to you. This Labral tear must have been what happened to Harden and Lowry... Smart is next?

This is a joke. I would've much rather see the wizards play the cavs they are actually not scared of them like the sissy ass celtics and now this freak injury out of nowhere.

Watch, the scores will be closer for the Cavs games now.


Pretty sure he got injured in Game 6 against the Wizards and just gutted it out.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

What a shame.
Wish the Wizards made the ECF, they wouldve put up at least a good fight rather than this Celtic team, IT or no IT. Jaylen Brown is the only guy that seems to care on that mentally fragile squad

With their super thin bench I am not sure they would be able to keep up with the Cavs if they could not not do that against the Celtics. Whatever lead their starters build up would be lost by the bench. On the road specially.

Agreed, just like the fight they put up against The Olynyk Clinic in game 7.

To be fair he at least came back and had a really good G3 and G4.

His back in '14 and '15. If you watched him those years it really effected him. Every time he'd come out of games they'd wrap him up like burn victim.
