4 rings, 2 MVPS, 1 FMVP, Goat shooter. This probably solidifies Curry as top 10 alltime and 2nd best in this era after Lebron. I know he doesn't care but for his legacy KD gotta win one without an unbeatable team. Otherwise there will always be that asterisk. Which is fair, GSW didn't really need him.

I'm still curious how would've we fared vs a Healthy Bucks w/ Middleton this year. Could have gone both ways IMO.

Celtics got really lucky with all the injuries this year. If Bucks have gone to the finals, I'm not seeing anyone would stop Giannis from getting to the rim vs the Warriors.

There’s no way Miami doesn’t give the Warriors a better series than what Boston just gave. We take them to 7 games at worst

Tatum with 13 points in an elimination game for the championship… that is awful…

Tatums handles, as far as “superstars” goes, probably ranks at the bottom.

Jimmy actually like Wiggs during the Twolves stint and mentioned he was a hard worker. Different story for KAT though

Happy for Wiggins. He found his role and flourished under it. The expectations of a 1st pick can be tough and there are only a select few who can really elevate their team to another level.

If Tatum did his job today the C's would have won. The lose isn't solely on him but you can't be the best player on the team and get thoroughly outplayed in an elimination game by Andrew Wiggins.

So another team just won the NBA championship playing 'small'. Just more confirmation bias for Spo. Lol

Celtics the way theyre currently built are not making the Finals next year.. same goes for us.. i dont see tatum or brown taking giant steps to some god level.. they are wht they are.. they need a third star..which i hope they dont get..

Riley has work to do this offseason because i see a lot of improvement in the Bucks, Sixers and Nets coming..

Looney is Bam's size and Green is 2 inches taller than PJ Tucker (at most). Spo is licking his chops as we speak

Hell no. Did you see that 21-0 run? Jimmy was the only one that consistently showed up for us. We would have been murdered.

G-league scrubs bricking it up. Herro hurt. Bam not showing up. Nah. They would have made it rain against us. We we're banged the hell up.

He has freakishly long arms and massive mitts with a tall standing reach for a man his height.

Yeah I think GS would have probably dispatched us in about 6 games as well.

Agreed. Warriors are arrogant as hell, but fun team to watch. Can't hate on them winning, if not the Heat.

Worst part about it is Stephen A called it months ago. The guy is going to be even more insufferable. Big Perk on the other hand, been talking way too much about the Celtics. He's going to have to eat some Mark Stein 05-06 Heat championship style crow.
