You're right. I forgot those Cavs. That roster...

But it is normal for a Suns fan to forget everything that happened in 2007.

The brain usually blocks traumatic experiences.

Got to admit, he has matured quite a bit. I do think it took separating the brothers.

I feel like Ainge could've drafted Anthony Bennett and Stevens would make him a star in this league.
Just makes his job way easier, he can draft pretty much all of his tough players and his coach will fix them.

It's a very fair strategy, always liked to go after this types of players.
The Celtics will be for a very long time.

And thank god they didnt get Josh Jackson... he has Ainge's fingerprints ALL OVER HIM.

Iverson's Sixers and the Nets the following year were the weakest teams that I remember in the Finals. The East was a nuclear waste in those years, even worse than now.

Unfortunately, The rockets are not going to be the team that shot Liberty Valance. But defeating the Warriors must become a titanic quest, a sacred mission, a holy crusade.

The other 29 teams have a moral obligation to restore order, peace and friendship in the league. Moby-Dick must be hunted.

As a whole, the Celtics this year might have more talent than Iverson's Sixers but in terms of accomplishments, recognition and high level experience, I would have to give it to the Sixers.

Mbah a Moute missing all of those layups. Geez
I guess he's learning how to finish plays with PJ 'great starter' Tucker.

They still have their chance with Anthony Bennett. He plays for the Maine Red Claws.

(It might be too late. He's got some skills, but not enough.)

Kevin Love is playing D. George Hill with 11 in the first. Is this real life?
