Maybe so but I still love him. And I'm convinced that if Brad could put with stubborn selfish play of he circus that was Kyrie and the stubborn selfishness of Terry Rozier and Marcus Morris, someone like Lance would be well within his wheelhouse.


Theres a reason Brad put up with dudes like Kyrie, Terry and Morris...... they are actually decent ball players.

So Terry Rozier and Marcus Morris are decent ballplayers but Lance isn't?

Ok.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Stephenson is a headcase, but he is very talented. And the guy gives everything on both ends of the floor.

Exactly.

People say the same stuff about Smart. He's a good ballhandler, good passer. High IQ even if prone to the same kind of dumbheaded things we get on Marcus about. Decent defender. Can playmake off the bench. And his energy is just infectious. I love guys like that. And while I certainly understand how he could not be some people's cup of tea, to prop Rozier up like he's somehow better is nothing short of lunacy to me. If Terry isn't hitting his patented 20 dribble step back 3 he's utterly useless. He couldn't find an open teammate with a flashlight and a road map. Same with Morris. They both have only one way to contribute to a team and it's not even a good one because they suck all the ball movement out of a team. Anyway, didn't mean to get on this topic this long. I just think Boston fans would go apes**t in the best way if Lance was in Green.

It seemed like he was good enough to come back in the game. He was about to check in when Lopez hit a three to increase the lead to 13. Middleton got going and told him to take a break. They're still uncertain whether they'll just shelve him until the playoffs. It's pretty much a wrap with the no.1 seed. They could take it easy if they chose to.

Man.......**** Lance. He's a POS. Would never want that scumbag anywhere near the Celtics. Don't ever forget how he threw his girlfriend down a flight of stairs.

If they end up losing 5/6 games, the raps might get the number 1 seed. The raps final 6 games is fairly easy.

I think when you have a shot at HCA all throughout playoffs, you go for it, but not at the cost of further injury to your star player(s). Bucks have two games against the Hawks and two against the Nets. Even without Giannis, I imagine they can at least get a split for those. OKC could also rest Russ and PG for their final road game at Milwaukee.

Well i guess its a long shot for the raps to end up 1st. The bucks needs just to win 2, and the raps to lose 1.

This is comment of the year material so far for me. Very underrated. I might use it as signature.
Good assessment:
