Now Boston/W's I'd watch.

Boston vs anyone in the Finals I'd watch. I sound like I'm just all over DEEZ NUTS of Stevens but the guy is a genius and just love how he gameplans and executes in game.

Feels great to watch PJ Tucker blowing fastbreaks with another team tho.

The reason I don't want them to win (yet) is because they are built for the long haul. They WILL win rings. But if it's against the evil Warriors, I will root for anyone else. And I think if nothing else, the Celtics could make them sweat. But they'd seriously miss Kyrie I think.

Still won’t matter....glad we aren’t competing for nothing. Been there and done that with the Spurs....we should be prime when GS is done in about 3-4 years...

Klay just said on TNT, we have a guy who can shoot pass and dribble at every position....hmmmm

Hence why I want Suns to go get Kawhi and Paul George next to Booker and Jackson.

Only way to counter a team like the Warriors... Who has players who can do it all from all positions...

4 do it all both ends and then a hustle energy shot blocker at the 5...

So unless you have talent to counter them... You have to play the game differently... Grind it out defense like the Pistons of 2004 or the inside outside Spurs of 2007 probably the best chance... This warriors team is too much.

Just keep building a good team. Moments of opportunity are rarely easily predicted.

I will be rooting for Celtics to make the finals for the next 3 years out east as I think they can match up with Warriors with their depth and coaching genius.

Irving, Hayward, Tatum, Brown, Horford, Smart, Rozier, Morris that rotation of players can hold against Warriors due to similar size and skill set IMO

I still think they get annihilated unless Kyrie puts up another historic performance.

Lebron taken out on concussion protocol

Crazy how good the Celtics are without Irving and hayward

If they get to the Finals, are they the worst team to ever get there? No a single recent all-star on that team.

Horford was an all-star this season but I know what you mean.

In hindsight Tatum and Brown might be All-Stars so it could look different.

You're right. Totally forgot

Iverson's Sixers and the Nets the following year were the weakest teams that I remember in the Finals. The East was a nuclear waste in those years, even worse than now.

Unfortunately, The rockets are not going to be the team that shot Liberty Valance. But defeating the Warriors must become a titanic quest, a sacred mission, a holy crusade.

The other 29 teams have a moral obligation to restore order, peace and friendship in the league. Moby-Dick must be hunted.

I think the 2007 Cavs may have been worse, though they did have LeBron. Nowhere near ready to compete in an NBA finals though.

Who are you pulling for?
