By reilo Go To PostI think we've had good series here and there but we've had more bad Finals than good Finals for a long time.Last thought on this: Bring on Top 16 seeding regardless of conference.
Since 2010, the only ones I'd rank are:
2011 Mavs vs Miami
2013 Miami vs Spurs
2016 Cavs vs Warriors
2021 Bucks vs Suns

By knux-future Go To PostJaylen Brown getting finals MVP after people clowned on his contract will be funny
Brown should embrace the petty and arrive every game dressed like Ted DeBiase with a million dollar belt.
By knux-future Go To PostJaylen Brown getting finals MVP after people clowned on his contract will be funnyI still think it's a bad contract because he's clearly not a supermax level player, but no one in Boston is going to give a shit after these finals.

Bubble series was pretty good considering.

By FortuneFaded Go To PostDidn’t watch game 3 but I’m guessing it’s only a matter of time before Boston win the whole thing.A little less than 48 hours
By Rob Go To PostHe didn’t actually say this did he? lolman never stops whining
Loved him just missing shots and then leaving his team 4 v 5 constantly on the other end because he had to jaw at the refs after lol
this whole mindset that a foul isn’t a foul because of how much time is left is hilarious
I wasn’t aware we reverted to prison rules with under 3 minutes left in the finals
By reilo Go To PostThere's a difference between trolling a guy who people love to hate because he's so fucking good it feels like a relief when he doesn't win, and a dude actively self sabotating his team in ways that are so obvious they show up as huge negatives in multiyear on/off data and have been publicly discussed by people who used to work for the team. Something like that actually showing up in that big of a sample is "smoking causes cancer" levels of problematic, he is the single biggest outlier in impact stats compared to his box score stats of any player since the pbp era started and this is a big part of why. Anyone less talented would be permanently benched for shit like this.
cooked him
Didn't hear him talk about Lebron like this after 2011 though
One of the clips of Brown breezing past Doncic and Irving for a dunk was comical. God awful defence.
Edit: this one. Good screen on Kyrie tbh. But Luka is a passenger.

By Rob Go To Postah That's been a common idea forever.

The refs just letting dudes play in the playoffs.
Not agreeing with it but hardly a new concept
By blackace Go To Postah That's been a common idea forever.Yeah but you have to have some degree of common sense, you can't just repeatedly foul people instead of playing defense and expect them not to say anything.

By Sharp Go To PostYeah but you have to have some degree of common sense, you can't just repeatedly fouling people instead of playing defense and expect them not to say anything.No arguments from me.
I just want consistency in the refs
By Sharp Go To PostOne thing I will say: Vegas's lines have been embarrassingly bad this whole series. I have never ever bet on sports but I was really strongly tempted this time because I just did not understand how the lines were being set for the Mavs. I'm sure there are reasons for it I don't understand but the Celtics should have been like -1000 favorites like they were in the Pacers series once Porzingis was known to be available.They set the lines based on what will make them the most money. Nothing more and nothing less.
He's gotta take his body seriously and get in shape so he can play defense, and stop whining to refs.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostHe's gotta take his body seriously and get in shape so he can play defense, and stop whining to refs.We finally found out what Rockets Harden would look like in the Finals
This Lakers coaching job has been a clown show with Woj vs Shams playing a proxy battle.
If JJ hasn't even interviewed yet that makes this ever the more of a dumpster fire.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostThis timeline isn't so bad lol

By reilo Go To Postadd AD to the mix,

if he has any say on coaching hire, he'll torpedo JJ becoming the next head coach.
But i swear, if lakers hire Borrego, im blocking dy.
pray that doesn't happen.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostMy boy getting cooked to a crisp 😭

Damn this must be what lebron stans felt like after 2011
By diehard Go To Postoh sure now its cool to hate on Lukaluka gonna chip eventually
ahead of the curve again
By unknown Go To Postluka gonna chip eventuallythere's still time. /bot

Every single bad clip on defense is getting uploaded
Don't forget there was punditry telling us Luka and Kyrie were playing great defense to get themselves to the Finals
By diehard Go To Postoh sure now its cool to hate on LukaThe last few weeks have been like a dream... all my agendas coming true at once (except Jaylen Brown being bad, but he's still been the Celtics' ~ third best starter over the whole playoffs so NBD). I assume as karma for this Reed Sheppard will be a massive bust.
ahead of the curve again
LeBron got swept in his first finals
This team is pretty similar, overachieved but fell apart at the wrong time
Role players are a joke and they’re centers are 2000s centers that don’t shot jumpers
Kyrie didn’t show up until game 3 too, he was meh in games 1 and 2

By joefu Go To PostI mean that same awful coaching dude was uploading vids of luka's and kyrie's alright defense lol.Basically
Luka has the ability to be great defender. That makes his lapses and IDGAF that much harder to process
