Re: Assuming they win the title, how high are the 2024 Celtics all-time?

As much help as Russell (4-7 HOF teammates every year he played), Bird, Magic/Jabbar, LeFraud, Steph/KD, and many others. First 3-Peat Bulls didn't have nearly as great talent though... so you have no point. Did bird have 3 GOAT level "perimeter" Defenders (and 2 other standout "peri...

Re: Assuming they win the title, how high are the 2024 Celtics all-time?

Hate to burst your bubble (again... and again, and again) but your silly rating system AND your wild assertions (backed by zero fact or substance) are about as useful as a wad of chewing gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe. In the world of reality the 96 or 97 Bulls would steamroll any team in today...

Re: Assuming they win the title, how high are the 2024 Celtics all-time?

2024 Celtics (with arguably the easiest road to the Finals in NBA history) better than the 96 and 97 Bulls??? Bush is clearly drunk, or stoned, or both... or he's trolling very, VERY badly. The Bulls were more relatively dominant, but not by much, as I highlighted in the OP. The difference in relat...

Re: Assuming they win the title, how high are the 2024 Celtics all-time?

I should expound on this. They are a rare team whose best player is in the 5-10 range. The 01 lakers had arguably the best player in the league as well as a top 5-10 player, the Steph/KD lakers had 3-4 top 20 players in the league, two of who were top 10. I’d guess their team as a whole is probably...

Re: Did people get ahead of their skis anointing Anthony Edwards?

He took a really bad fall in the second to last game against the nuggets and his numbers and energy have dropped a ton. I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets some kind of surgery post season on his tailbone/back

Re: Do you have any unusual habits?

I've never heard of anyone else doing this in my life, but they've been doing this forever. My aunt is a clean freak and so is my male cousin (who is now like 57 years old). They hand wash the inside walls of their house once or twice a month. They get a wash cloth and I don't know if they use anyt...

Re: Assuming they win the title, how high are the 2024 Celtics all-time?

It’s kind have been a forgone conclusion this team would win the title the second they were assembled. I find it wild that they lost games to the teams they’ve played, but hey, even the lakers went 16-1. Still think the Steph/KD warriors were a better team and the shaq/kobe lakers would be too much...

Re: Do you have any unusual habits?

I don't know if this is that unusual but I sleep with the fan on regardless of the weather or the temperature in our room. I need air moving around. Similarly but opposite, I sleep with a weighted blanket every night. It helps me sleep through the night even on hot nights. It’s on my side of the be...

Re: Has any other team in teh history of the NBA have an easier path to the Finals than Boston?

It's kind of weird. The East looked so promising going into the season. Milwaukee with Giannis, Dame, Lopez, Middleton etc. Philly with Embiid and a solid cast. An improving Knicks team and the never discount Heat to go along with the Celtics. A lot of promise and we are left with this conference f...

Geography. Being in Detroit, 99% of everyone in the area is a fan of the Lions, Tigers, Pistons and Red Wings and you don't think anything of it. If it's Sunday, and you go to the bar, you only see people in Lions gear. You don't see a bunch of jerseys from other teams. The only conflict you typica...

Allen Iverson in the 01 Finals is my first basketball memory and he became my favorite player immediately.
Incredibly likable player, pretty much the anti Shaq. Gives nothing but love to everyone who can after him.

Why are you a fan of X team?

What made you a fan of the teams you cheer for? Geographical or did you like a player on the team? Would your allegiances and biases change if you were born somewhere else?

Re: Your 2023-24 all NBA teams

Kawhi and Lebron were relatively close by the numbers and EPM, and the Clippers had a better record and somewhat higher seeding. That doesn't strike me as egregious. I would guess having two Lakers on the 2nd team All-NBA would felt weird to the voters, given the Lakers record overall (even if ther...

Ridiculous Kawhi got second team over LeBron. Look at their numbers and there literally isn’t an argument. Also, lol at Kenny not voting for Luka first team and whoever continually give Sabonis first team/DPOY votes
