Woke to several quotes posts from Raptors fans on their board

They are really infatuated with Celtics arent they?

Like that ex that keys your car in the daytime but fingerblasts themselves at night thinking about you

Portland are the Wizards of the West. Difference is Washington goes home while the Blazers have to go to NO.

**** Rondo 16 - 10 - 9, and 17 assists in Game 1 - UNREAL.
So happy for him.

NO up 2-0 after winning twice in Portland.
Odds just skyrocketed that they win Round 1.
I want to see Rondo eat up Chris Paul.

Playoff Rondo is a huge savage beast

Exactly, both don't play defense and both guards of theirs says they're overlooked.

I too am glad to see his success. He is a prickly guy who lost his fast ball when he tore his ACL. It’s nice to see he still has the grit and balls he showed in 2008-2012 even if he is a shadow of his former self athletically.

ESPN continues to fellate the 76ers:

The hype theyre receiving is hilarious.

The thing I noticed tonight about RR was his quickness. He looked 25 again.

I will never root against Rondo.

D-Wade humbled them last game and they're still posting this s***? Goddamn man they're not the f****** Warriors.

Oh my **** god give it a rest.

All of you sound insecure as ****. All of you crying this **** much about Philly and rooting for the god damn Heat of all teams probably means the hype is real. Keep playing yourselves.

We've had pages of this insecure nonsense now. If the Sixers are getting undeserved hype in your opinion maybe you should shut the **** up about them.

I think comparing Embiid to Wilt and shaq and to Curry and HArden is a bit misplaced and premature.

Philly is really good, there's no disputing that. But I'm sorry truth, this ain't crying...it's stating facts.

If they make the Finals this year, this s*** is warranted. If they get LeBron, this s*** is warranted. But they're in the middle of a series, tied 1-1, going into the lion's den in Miami.

Their future is great, as is ours. But the media is legitimately acting as if they're a championship team already. Like us, they're a year(s) away.

Also, if I were a GS or Houston fan, I'd be pissed...their teams steamrolled the league in the regular season, yet the Sixers go on one streak when they beat mostly bad teams and the media treats them like they're on their level.

They aren't. Yet.

Why do any of you even care about what the sports media says about anyone?

The sports media **** hates us.

Yikes, you should really relax a little. Its the Around the NBA thread, designed for people to talk about other teams in the league. If it bothers you that much, perhaps you should avoid this thread. You seem to be the only one getting upset.

fallguy · Post #1555 » by **fallguy** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 5:49 pm

Great start to the playoffs all around the league. I'm in deep on Blazers-Pelicans and Heat-Sixers.

Can only catch one game tonight. Debating which one...

I'm relaxed. I just swear a **** ton. You know this.

People can post about whatever they want, and I can call them insecure. I'm not sure what your issue is.

To reiterate: the people that don't like the amount of hype Philly is getting should perhaps shut the **** up about Philly. Its counterintutive at best; it plays into whatver perceieved media narrative/agenda they think is happening at worst. The "media" has succeded in getting them to discuss Philly endlessly and care about the winner of that series.

On a somewhat different note: its just sad to me to see people cheering for the Heat, a team we should historically hate, just because of "the media hyping Philly" (some conversely seem bothered by them succesfuly tanking). There are many reasons to hate Philly, including our actual historical rivalry with them, lol. I find their reasoning to be petty and questionably timed.

We need to stop complaining about Philly. Colangelo will make sure they never reach their ceiling. He's already mismanaged 3 of Hinkie's assets. Bryan will mess it up.

London2Boston · Post #1559 » by **London2Boston** » Wed Apr 18, 2018 6:13 pm

I have no issues rooting for the Heat. It will always be **** Wade and Riley, but I prefer our chances against them more, should we advance.

I suppose that’s a compliment to Philly.

Personally, I want Philly to win because I want to see how Rozier/Brown/Tatum measure up against Simmons/Embiid. Hell, the NBA fan in me loves watching them play cuz theyre fun as hell.

I just think its completely bizarre/funny that ESPN had put out two puff pieces about two dudes who have played about 10 minutes total in a 1-1 series. ****, if anything, they should be hyping Simmons as he’s been amazing. Not bum ass Fultz and an amazingly talented dude with a broken face.
