Proud of you guys, not one Celtics fan is posting on their board. Keep it that way. Let the Bucks fans continue to make asses of themselves— itll make it more fun if we win.

Can’t believe the ones cheering when Hayward got hurt didn’t get Permabanned

I said that on the general board, when they were saying we got no class, yet we got 0 fans spamming their thread with trash talk and baiting, but their fans are here claiming they are the 2nd coming of the 90's Bulls... Yea, we've always been classier. Not even a question in that.
Good assessment:

Sorry man. Take Monday off?

That’s alright mate, I’ll either tough it out or catch the replay later in the day (lets just hope it’s a victorious replay I’m watching)

I have now reverse-jinxed your reverse jinx. Nice try though. If you're going to start a burner account, maybe pick a name that doesn't make it obvious that you're from Milwaukee.

Great point. Barring foul trouble, Kyrie and Tatum gets 38-40 minutes. Hayward and Horford gets 34-36 minutes. Everyone else falls in line and fills in where appropriate. Best players step up in the big moments.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

I have been in this forum for a while, and post padding or whatever it is called has never been any issue until several months ago and mostly directed at me. We have all done it. If the rules of this forum are enforced here to its fullest, people will not post here. I have seen things worse than post padding, but it goes ignored. There are rules that are not enforced, this is supposed to be a strictly a sports forum but that is not always the case here. Someone posting something similar to their original post or someone else is now an issue.I know the reasons why my post was removed but i wouldn't make a big deal out of it. I am not going to go into a power struggle with anyone, back and forth with anyone. I am simply a poster. As soon as i made that last schedule post i knew it was going to be a problem with a mod/mods because a mod made a similar post. I was going to be attacked for it. I hesitated posting it. It is truly sad. I re-post things online to add to the discussion here, to add to the excitement yet i am attacked for it. I am done doing that.

I will simply not re-post the things off social media here. No one has the time to scroll up and down every page, even though i do it , at least sometimes to see if someone posted something similar to theirs before reading the whole page/pages. Posting similar things has not being an issue until recently. It is just not worth it. I am not going to monitor every single post i make, should i post it or not, should i remove it or not, is it going to removed. It takes the joy of being in a forum, and it takes time, and energy to do that. It wouldn't stop at posts off online/social media but my opinions. I accept the rules of this forum even if i don't agree with them, and i have moved on.


I have moved on. I am going to mostly read the forum, and rarely post. It is just better that way. I follow the rules here to the best of my abilities yet it doesn't stop some people from going after me. I am all set with re-posting things here. Yes you have to follow the rules and watch what you say, but not to the extent of watching everything you say, every word. At that point why even be in the forum.

This series reminds me a bit of early LeBron teams where you basically build a wall and dare him to shoot from outside. The difference is that Giannis actually posts up a bunch and is a murderer in transition like basically no one else in the history of the league.

To win we are going to need to avoid turnovers, rotate on D/defend the pick and roll and live with Giannis getting points in the paint and at the line every night. If we collapse on him too much the sidekicks will bomb 3s.

I'd say the most important player in this series is going to be Horford to try to somewhat contain Giannis defensively while pulling Lopez and others out of the paint when we're on offense. Then it's about spreading them out and letting guys attack the rim without help from Giannis and other big men rotating over.

Not a big series for Baynes I'd guess... maybe Semi gets a few chances to shine however.

I live in Utah and there was some solid salt no doubt...even folks expressing joy over his injury.

That has dissipated since Donovan Mitchell has been good though.

Idk about Bucks fans but I expect the salinity of Lake Michigan to increase significantly.
