Morris just getting PnR'd to death. Like... he slept with Stevens's daughter or something. Get him off the court.
By reilo Go To PostHe was born in Macedonia, don't put this evil on meHalf bosnian though. I'll alternate between you and vlatko
By s y Go To PostVLatko's boy Osman oooooh noooooooooooooooooooonooooooooo reilo just claimed him last page
its okay though, he still good
I hate that whistle they called on Osman. Don't wit to see if the shot is missed to call the foul, call the foul when it happens. I hate that shit.
EDIT: LOL WTF DID THEIS DO?

He definitely body-bumped Lebron.
By reilo Go To PostNah, it's a non-issue. Bad playoff defense Love is a wash against good offense Al Horford – Horford just doesn't have enough in him to bring you 15-20PPG in a series.They'll also need to leverage Love's rebounding in the playoffs, especially against the Warriors. They've finally figured out how to effectively use him as the second option and his efficiency this year is nuts. Love will absolutely play a ton in the post-season.
By reilo Go To PostNah, it's a non-issue. Bad playoff defense Love is a wash against good offense Al Horford – Horford just doesn't have enough in him to bring you 15-20PPG in a series. I also don't expect young players like Tatum and Brown to bring consistent defensive effort in a 7-game series. That's really tough to do for young wing players, especially when the two of them will have to be primary defenders against Lebron. Rodney Hood and George Hill aren't Shumpert and Rose – and that's where the trade for the Cavs truly shines.Frankman, we already know what a Love vs Horford match-up looks like:
2017 ECF
2016 Semis
2015 ECF (Love was out injured)
Horford isn't doing shit versus the Cavs lol
4.2RPG in 2017, 3.5RPG in 2016 and 4.8RPG in 2015, good god
Love had more rebounds in the 2017 Series (5 games) than Horford had in 3 series total (13 games)
If you think Boston has a chance versus Cleveland because of the Horford vs Love match-up, then LOL

The Celtics should really be more worried about the Thompson/Love front court because they're gonna get killed on the glass by it.
Horford is a good big man defender, but Love is just that much of a better offensive player that it doesn't matter one goddamn bit
Love basically averaged the same number of rebounds per game that Horford had total in that 2016 series

... I said Horford/Love is the reason Boston will win? Really? I don't see that post. I've repeatedly said Love being added to the D makes Cavs Starting LU D less versatile and worse overall. That's it.
Win or lose, this isn't the time to fully evaluate either team for the future, I don't believe in hot takes.

By The Frankman Go To Post… I said Horford/Love is the reason Boston will win? Really?"has a chance" isn't the same as "win", now is it?
By reilo Go To Post"has a chance" isn't the same as "win", now is it?I didn't mention Horford at all though...
EDIT: if that was directed at me. Which it was since you named me.
By The Frankman Go To PostI didn't mention Horford at all though…How is it not implied? Who else would the Love/Thompson D have to worry about?
By reilo Go To PostHow is it not implied? Who else would the Love/Thompson D have to worry about?Team defense and switching, which having a LU of Too short/dumb/Check my $tat$/washed/Possibly washed? means layups given up by the Cavs due to breakdowns on D. Love at least become the worst defender of the group again.
By The Frankman Go To PostTeam defense and switching, which having a LU of Too short/dumb/Check my Stats/washed/Possibly washed means layups given up by the Cavs due to breakdowns on D. Love at least become the worst defender of the group again.I still think that's a wash given that Love is gonna destroy Horford on offense. And even then that was only a huge concern because how awful Rose/IT2 were defensively for them, and it's far lessoned now with George Hill at PG, and the fact that they have superhuman playoff Lebron James to help mitigate those defensive rotations.
That's a tough call on Tatum BS that's a blocking foul, but if that's Rose/IT that's a dunk for Tatum.
By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostGeorge Hill got an offensive foul call while in mid-air lolHe has a reputation as a good defender, so he gets those calls because NBA refs.
By s y Go To PostOf course Ray Allen wasn't invited lolwhat did he do?
Tatum/Brown are a combined 3-15 w/ Brown 0-6. Doesn't matter who they face, they ain't winning games like that.
By The Frankman Go To PostTatum/Brown are a combined 3-15 w/ Brown 0-6. Doesn't matter who they face, they ain't winning games like that.They're going to have a real problem when 19 year old Jayson Tatum comes face to face with playoffs mode LeBron in about three months.

Yup, which is why I thought the Raps were a lock to come out of the East. The Celtics are going to depend on Tatum, Brown, and Rozier going for 15 each game in order to win playoff games, that's just not realistic for guys that age.
This is only a one-game sample, but the rejuvenated Cavs obviously change that math a little bit.
Morris couldn't post on Hill. Shoulders not strong enough to post on God.
By Moris Go To PostYea, Cavs got The East now.Chris Jericho would be proud.
JR is eating on these wide open shots. Their spacing is going to be ridiculous with Love in the lineup.
By rodeoclown Go To PostThey're going to have a real problem when 19 year old Jayson Tatum comes face to face with playoffs mode LeBron in about three months.Physically, Morris is the Celtics's best option to guard Lebron, but, uhm, good luck.
Yeah this is the Cavs new old "drive to bomb 3's" LU. LEad to 23, Celtics might want to call it early.
EDIT: Jaylen Brown is as dumb as bricks. LeBron is babydriving to see who leaves their man behind the arc, Stevens just told him that.
