And unlike the people on here who claim to be upset about Lebron beating us on the Cavs when our best player was 5'8, it would ACTUALLY be sweet revenge to knock out this Heat team early in one of Wade's last years, with all of the injuries we have.

It wasn't just Lebron who destroyed our big three's last few years, it was Pat Riley, Dwade and the Heat organization as well.

Injuries destroyed our Big Three's last few years. Shannon Sharpe and the rest of the media just want us to believe that "LEBRON ENDED THE CELTICS!!!!"

Yo I think I went at you pretty hard the other day mistaking you for another poster. My fault, man.


No problem. I was wondering why you were being so snippy.


Green names are confusing on here. I'm not helping much with my name either. Sorry, again.

Which occurred during the series in which virtually our entire team was injured. Does LeBron beat a healthy C's team in 2012? Maybe, but he certainly doesn't in 2011.

The Big Three era's decline began in 2009 when KG injured his knee. LeBron running to Miami played a role, but not the primary one.

Everyone is injured that time of the year. We easily best that Thunder team in the finals.

Everyone is banged up; not everyone is injured. There's a difference. And yes; I agree that we would have beaten OKC that year.

IMO this was the Heat's chance to win the series, unless Embiid doesn't play in the next game.

You have to win him out. Instead, they get s*** on in the second half.

I think Embiid is supposed to miss the first two games of the series, but yeah. I think Miami really needed to steal this one. Now the 76ers have gotten rid of their playoff jitters and have settled in. This could get ugly.

Yeah Philly will be tough in the second round. It would be quite the accomplishment , if Brad Stevens and the return of Smart gets us to the ECF

Damn

Little Rondo looks so so so **** good feeding the Brow.

I really really miss the Rondo who fed the Truth, Ticket and Traitor during the glory days.

I do not miss post-Big 3 Rondo.

PS “Truth, Ticket, Traitor ... Rondo” makes me think of Le Carre’s “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy”
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

David West signing with the wrong team cost us in 2012.
