How can we win a title being a PERIMETER team with OLD, INJURY PRONE guys guarding the perimeter with NO BIGS? The East will only get tougher, and we'll only get older.

I know rebuild is a scary word, but this short term success without a title isn't worth it. I don't want to be a team that is just happy to be in the ECF. It's not going to last, and we'll be in cap hell with a bunch old guys limping around. This is just the start.

There's was no point behind all that depth but to keep the 1 seed. Didn't pay off at all. Everyone is hurt. Maybe it's time to stop relying on g-league and undrafted players taking up huge chunks of our rotation for nothing when the playoffs come.

Stars win in the playoffs. We take pride in our development of undrafted guys, but all this has lead to is getting destroyed in the playoffs with teams that actually have stars. It's a nice story for the regular season, and then gets exposed every single time in the playoffs.

Butler back to Philadelphia, but what could we take? Maxey?

Harris and Maxey for Butler. That’s interesting to say the least. We rebuild and get younger. Butler Harden and Embiid if healthy should be the favorites or if you think all three are mental midgets then you get to watch them implode. Very interesting

Believe it or not our shot quality tonight was even better than Bostons. Our shooters just can’t shoot

If we passed on Maxey in the draft we’re not going to trade a top 10 player in the league for him lol

I’m telling you, we turn bums into legit players and then end up giving them 90mil contracts. We made Waiters look like and MVP candidate and have him 50mil. We made Whiteside that no one wanted into Zo on sterioids and gave him 80mil. With the 14th pick we picked and mocked some guy named Bam and turned him into a dpoy candidate and gave him a max. I would love to see what we turn a guy like Luka into. What we turn a number 1 pick or 2 into…possibly another top 5 SG of all time? Hmm

Herro turned him into 6moty. Come on guys. Let’s see what we do with a number 1 pick SG/SF

So PJ Tucker has a player option. Kind of wonder if he’s thinking about sticking around or just dipping as a free agent this summer

We should be trading these guys while they are hot knowing they aren't as good as our development and coaching makes them. Every single time we develop them and then reward them giant contracts knowing they aren't as good as we are making them. When they get paid, they suck and we're stuck with them. Herro is a great example of this. This guy terrifies me that we're going to give him max money, be stuck with him, and then have find every way to trade him to get out of it. Another example is Duncan.

Most of our issues is literally because the 3s aren’t going in. Like I get it if we were a bad shooting team all year but we had the number 1% . These numbers are beyond brutal

I would not be shocked at all. At all. If the Heat win game 6 in Boston. Then what? I just watched some butt-ugly basketball for one half. The Celts made a run that wasn't matched by the Heat, and that was it. But what I saw wasn't as much Celts defense as much as Heat just flat out missing.

I'm a basketball fan firstly, a Celts fan secondly. No one wants to think about a Heat win in game 6 on my board. They're all rah rah and caught up in the moment. But we've been playing some butt-ugly basketball. There's a dark cloud no one on the Celts board wants to see.

I can see Heat winning game 6. Your team is mentally tough. And then a nail-biting, topsy-turvy toss-up for game 7 in Miami. No one on my board wants to contemplate that. They're drunk, and stupid.

Just a thought before you Heat keep talking about blowing your team up.

Hey guys let's be real... we knew when we went to the playoffs that we didn't have a great team, the Miami Heat over performed and exceeded our expectations...strus, gabe are good finds and dipo Is For Real, even if he just makes it to eighty percent of what he was...ecf is a lot more than I expected

Miami Heat play the hearts out!!

It was easily the difference in a win or loss tonight and that with Jimmy being ineffective

And now we got Boston Dave in here playing the reverse jinx. Nice.
