Around the NBA - Conference Finals

EXACTLY. They TRADED their two for sure HOFers. They got a bunch of picks back and that is how they have built this team. We got NOTHING back for Roy, Oden, and Aldridge. Nothing

 

Yes, would be nice if Neil did something similar seeing that McLillard will never be a title contender

 

Why can't they be a title contender with the right pieces around them? They are 2 of the very best in the world at their positions. They aren't the problem. And they aren't redundant. You need TWO great guards.

 

Boston was highly rewarded for 2 over the hill future hall of farers that helped rebuild Boston. Without the Nets stupidity it would have been tougher for Boston

 

I know, I hope we find some stupid team that wants to help us out lol.

 

Boston is one win away from the finals.

We got swept in the first round two years in a row.

 

How are Oden and Roy potential Hall of Famers?

 

I think he meant had they of been healthy they had the potential to be HoFers.
We didn’t see enough healthy Oden, but If Roy has a long career he might’ve got there.

 

I said after game one that Boston will need to win 1 road game. That they do not want to face LBJ in a game 7 scenario. I still see it that way. This series is going as predicted IMO. Cleveland will win game 6 and the young Celtics will choke in game 7. Hope I am wrong.

 

Yeah, Lebron is one of those guys I wouldn’t bet against in game 7. Not that he never loses or whatever but if it goes to 7 he’s more than likely going to put on a show.

 

LeBron is great, but he can't beat the Celtics in Boston by himself. He will need some help. I don't think he'll get enough.

 

You might be right, but I thought that about the GS series game 7 a couple years ago too. He did get help in that game though. So far none of the other guys have really done much on the road.

 

I agree he will need some help. But there are a few vets capable of lighting it up for one game. Love, Smith, Korver, all these guys have done it before.

On the flip side the Celtics rely on youth late in games. Other than Horford, we talking about Tatum. Brown, Smart and Rosier. I know they have already exceeded expectation and they could do it again, but if you had to bet your house on it? I say the youngsters will get a little tight.

 

No they don't. JR is hot garbage on both sides of the floor.

 

This is not true at all. Max Kellerman picked the Rockets.

I think you just have a problem with Steven A....

 

I called Cavs in 7 (in real life) after they won game 3.

The script is playing out as I predicted.

IDGAF.... I'm not betting against LeBron in a game 7.

 

They both flip flop on a game to game basis. It's true I'm not a Stephen A fan, but Kellerman absolutely drives me insane. He's a robotic 3rd grader with a beard.

 

I started the series thinking Boston in 6, and now I kind of think Cleveland in 7. If it goes to 7, I’m not betting against Lebron to lose that game and Boston sure hasn’t looked like they can win in Cleveland.
