I enjoy watching good basketball that GSW provide. Also it's hard not to cheer for Denver right now.

Biid has wheels coming out again. It's just this time things might be serious. Last time I heard player needed PCP was D. Will, he never recovered and been the same. The Process came to the end most likely.

With Wiggins getting back in shape, GSW becoming unstoppable force again. If Klay can be at least 70% of what he used to be... Saltics will get spanked again.

Glimpses of bubble Fakers.

Still don't believe they good enough to win 7 game series vs GSW or Joker.

Dray played entire season and looking like ass. Wiggins just got back and he looking like top ten player.

Crazy stuff.

Also GSW not looking interested in winning this game. Something they carried over from regular season.

Davis when healthy is top ten player too. Problem is, he never fully healthy.

Those same open shots Philly were making against us they’re missing those shots against the Celtics

Jaylen Brown is better than Tatum now. He's the guy we should be after, he deserves his own team.

I agree, watching JB's presser last night, he was definitely implying that he should have the ball more. Q is, do the C's value Brown more and persuade keeping him and trading JT? I don't know, just throwing it out there but perhaps the C's will focus on retooling as well. Nets would be dumb not to entertain the idea of trading for JB. JB is a Bonafide star. He will have one year left and C's will have to think long and hard about that. As much as I love Bridges, Nets were dumb not to trade KD for JB in hindsight.

I think JB leaves in free agency after next season. Same way Kyrie did

Celtics won't make the same mistake they made with Kyrie(they will try and get assets back); JB was fairly explicit and honest in that he may not return to the organization, Kyrie, not so much; they will most likely trade him and Nets have to be prepared. And if the C's trade him out West, there is no guarantee they can sign him in FA since they won't have Cap Space unless Marks makes a several chess moves.

It's going to be tough. JB gives them the best chance to win a ring with Tatum. KD would of gave them a good chance but now they need someone almost as good as JB to compete at that level with the way Tatum been playing. We will see...

KD could have unlocked Tatum the same way he's unlocked Booker.

I've heard far too much dumbass nonsense pass Jaylen's lips over the years to think he's a good fit for a team still recovering from the lunacy of Kyrie Irving.

Also, I'd take Tatum in a /HEARTBEAT/ over Brown. Yeah, I get that Tatum still has his inefficient games as a young lad, but let's not forget that every game, he's the primary focal point of the enemy defense, and that every offseason, he relentlessly works on his game and becomes even more unstoppable for next season.

Sure, maybe I'm wrong here, but it seems like Jayson Tatum is fast-approaching the point where he can do literally *everything* on the court, and play every position in a way that would make even the other great players around the league positively *drool*.

Well then maybe Boston losing in the second round is a good thing if it happens and they may break them up.

Depending how much Brown can get they'll have to break down their team regardless. Tatum will need to get paid too, and that contract will be monstrous.

Bridges contract is a gold mine right now. That's why we should monitor how Ping pong balls will drop. We can easily be in business for the 2nd over all pick if Blazers or Houston get to have it.

Bubble Fakers tough out. Reason why you never build top heavy team, quality depth is very important.

I think Philly figured the Celtics out; I would not mind seeing the Celtics lose because it would just solidfy that after seven seasons, JT/JB is not going to work. JB needs his own team; why not come to Brooklyn and dominate? That JB expiring will look good.

Depending on what lens you look at, we held Philly to lower points; the O just wasn't clicking and we need a 1-2 scoring punch. Perhaps, just perhaps, we do end up getting that this Summer, that should fix our O.
