Well technically we drafted Olynyk, and then traded down for Shane Larkin on draft night.

Cubes ignoring Donnie Nelson telling him to draft Giannis still haunts us

Technically, Boston didn't draft Olynyk. Dallas did and then did a draft swap with Boston, who gave them some jabroni whose name I can't remember and don't feel like looking up. But yes, it is possible (assuming Dallas was still willing to trade the pick) that Boston could have had Giannis.

But carter is understating it. It's not just imagining a team with Tatum and Giannis. It's imagining a team with Smart (who they likely still get because rookie Giannis isn't making them any better), Brown (who was also a Brooklyn Nets pick so Boston was getting him regardless), and Williams (who they got with the 27th overall pick. Still a good possibility he ends up there).

So in other words...

Smart
Brown
Tatum
Giannis
Williams

Imagine the defense. Just imagine it for a second. Imagine how difficult it would be to score on a team like this with the coaching that they had. That's one of the most absurd defensive lineups I've ever seen just on paper alone, but the length, versatility, and aggressiveness we'd be seeing from this team on that end? Absolutely scary stuff that I don't want to imagine and am thankful that we don't have to.

Lolol. You won but that isn't enough. You have to win despite some grand conspiracy where the refs protect Giannis.

Do you watch NBA basketball?

Scary would be an understatement.

And we traded dowm for him! Probably Ainge's greatest move as a GM, next to assembling the Big 3.

I like this post because you can point to it later if either team gets blown out and pretend to have predicted it happening.

Lmaoo you read me like a book I’m not gonna lie.

You would not have had Luka, who I think ala Giannis, will one day bring a chip to dallas.

PSA/serious question to bucks fans why has George hill been getting playing time.

Honestly not trolling seriously curious he’s been downright horrific and killing you guys on both ends. Javon was quietly playing great too.

They need Middleton. Giannis was awesome, like incredible, and they lose by 13? I don’t think he can give any more than he just did.

Congrats to Celtics fan on a wonderful game plan.

Tatum took over and his supporting cast helped out. Well deserved win.

On to game 7!

Strange these dudes aren't rushing to post the 5 step spin move and one that Tatum got eh?

The was another egregious one but he missed the layup. I think he was shocked the ref didn’t call anything that he missed.

I love you Marcus, but when Derrick is in the game, let him handle the ball, thank you.

Who will win the series?
