Around the NBA (Non-Celtics) 2019-2020, Part 3 – "Playoff Version"

Let's just hope the Lakers don't repeat next year. This title was in the bag for them the second the Clippers got eliminated. And honestly, they'd have probably beaten the Clippers too.

Yeah that’s what I said. Overachieving. They overachieved all season. After Horford, Lebron’s caddy, Morris, Baynes and Rozier left, a lot of people here didn’t think the Celtics would do better than 8th seed in the East.

That’s common sense. Brad did a great job. And people want him gone and want Doc **** Rivers.

That’s bull. I expected them to do well. Top 4 at least.

Good for you. Then you are happy. But then again not really since you feel like you have to be an ass when you don’t agree with others point of view.

Cut that kinda talk out.
It's unnecessary.

Compare that to the Celtics, who some think Hayward is our 2nd best player.

We would have given this Lakers team a good run. And Celtics are good for a number of years to come.
Lakers are good for the short term.

AD is in his prime. Lebron is showing no signs on slowly down. I think they will be in the hunt for about 3-5 years at least.

I'd just like to add, it seems like AD has been healthy too for the first time which of course happens on the Lakers and not the Pelicans

Dragic was the main reason why we started out 0-2 now he’s out of the series after playing like 15 minutes against the Lakers lol. Figures..

So you're telling me after the heat beat us their entire team starts going down with injuries against the lakers? If there is a such thing as basketball gods they are all wearing lakers jerseys right now laughing their asses off.

Don't worry, I like the Yankees, they won't be winning. Edit: if I hated them then you'd have to worry.

Yah, Dragic won't be playing another minute of the sweep.

Our guys are not mentally tough period. Bunch of 3 point chuckers.

These are exactly what we said last year

Naw. Last year we had Bozo-the-Clown on the team.
Funny how we've made the ECF without that guy, 3 times in 4 years.

What i meant was, chucking 3’s was what we complained about last year. and this year, with better character guys, we still chuck 3’s for an offense.

To be fair they were getting smoked already when they all went down with injuries. This was always a four game sweep. Heat cat hide bad defenders against lakers and they start three real bad ones.

That’s not offensive dude and your words don’t bother me. You have a right to your opinion.

I see Bam and think about if we didn't lose Baynes and had a real defensive big

Y'all are clowns for doubting Romeo and jerking off herro and I stand by this hot take. Let's value defense around here

Too bad we can’t capitalize on attacking herro and robinson, due to the fact we have to help on kEmba and Theis can’t guard Bam. or the Lakers coaching staff prepared well for the Heat.

Lal, man.... That's unfortunate... I mean Dragic was lightning us up the first 2 games, then Smart was able to limit him.

Watching Miami, it is kinda weird, they made so many unforced, bad passes, it's kinda puzzling. They looked like us against them in the games we lost. They missed open shots and made a bunch of bad passes..

Herro was 2 of 8 from 3.
Robinson who was making some tough ass shots off balance against us was 0 of 3...
