Will the Celtics win?
Just put money on them to win
Time for a fucking shitshow

Question: why do basketball players wear so much compression gear? Is it because of the constant jumping on hard floor?
>>64267086
>>64267086
Cetics a shit desu their best players a manlet
Is Stevens the GOAT? If someone just told me the Celtics roster I'd avoid their games like the plague. But everything they do is sound and with purpose and I love watching em
>>64267093
>>64267093
Cushioning against contact, keeping joints warm, style, all sorts of stuff. Some guys just feel better mentally with a sleeve on or something.
>>64267093
Compression sleeves help the blood flow, which benefits you if you're sore or injured.
Also it looks cool.
>>64267115
It's just for style, the belief that it helps at all is the biggest meme of all time

If these thugs lay a hand on Kevin Love again I'm going to write one heck of a letter to the NBAPA
>Celtics fan
>Realize team is performing great this year, but ultimately aren't even close to a championship team
>Game against Warriors
>Actually rooted for the Warriors to win because seeing them get the all-time record would be more entertaining than my non-championship caliber team getting a meme win against
>Celtics lose
>Warriors just end up losing the next night
Holy shit, I really c.Ucked myself there.
>>64267157
Nigga you straight, you straight
>>64267184
Disgusting
>>64267184
>going against your team
>ever
you deserved it lad
>>64267106
>>64267136
If I was a star and wanted to win Boston would probably be my first choice. Imagine Durant with this roster (not a Celts fan though it comes off that way). He'd be able to score at crazy volume with everyone else doing the dirty work
>>64267184
Lmao. I would never cheer against the Heat, family. Show some respect.
>>64267226
The NBA is a different animal.
Watching my team, that I 100% know has literally 0 shot of winning the ship, getting some meme win in a 82 game schedule wouldn't mean much. Watching the Warriors go for history is literally more entertaining than anything the Celtics will do this season.
Now, if it was a team I hated (Lakers, Knicks, etc) I would have rooted for the Celtics.
Also, if it was the NFL, and say the Pats sucked but had a chance to defeat a 13-0 team, I'd root for the Pats because it'd be an all-time memorable win since the NFL season is so short.
Ultimately, not many people will even remember who ended the Warriors streak.
>>64267226
Nah you're allowed to root against your team if you need to tank. Rooting against the 2014 Bucks to be in the Wiggins/Parker/Embiid race was great fun and helped the team long term. A lot more than a 41-41 team with a first round exit
>>64267184
>would rather see a great team beat up on your home team than have your team pull off one of the biggest upsets of the season
You are one of the worst fans I've ever seen
>>64267259
Celtics are too good to tank though. You can still hit on a high teens pick like Kawhi or Giannis tho
>>64267239
I know nigga. Best players in the west should just jump ship to the east. Much easier, or at least it was. East is harder for the moment it seems but that will probably level out as the season goes along
>>64267259
>>64267261
Seems a bit traitorous, but then again, what do I know? I'm rooting for a team that is from a city I've never been in.
Carry on.
>>64267259
>Ultimately, not many people will even remember who ended the Warriors streak.
That's some delusion right there.
Holy fuck this game is terrible
>>64267297
He is justifying that shit, its traitorous as fuck. Let him nig nog
Do it again Kelly. Do it for the old times, the good times. Just fucking do it!
>>64267297
How terrible is it to root for a team from a city you've never been in though? I don't think it's that bad, I'm from LA and I'm a C's fan, will be for life too.
>Boston fans slobbering all over Kevin Love in 2014 because they believed the rumors that he'd be leaving the Cavs
>he comes to Boston in the playoffs and rapes them
>signs a five year contract in Cleveland
>is now back continuing to rub his balls on their face
>>64267297
It sucks but it's the reality of the NBA based on how the league is structured and because there's only five guys on the floor one star or superstar can change your entire franchise. Being stuck on the treadmill of mediocrity with no hope for the future sucks.
>>64267320
Letting Avwry "human garbage" Bradley trick you and hit the 3
Fucking embarrassingly shit.
The NBA needs a relegation system. Will never happen though.

SOMETHING NEW IN THE PLAYBOOK
>>64267352
Well, where, in Finland people berate you if you are not a fan of your local team. And the only way to make people not berate you is to tell them that you root for your childhood home team or something.
I don't know man. Maybe I'm just a dumb loyalist.
Nuggets, Arsenal and Ducks for life.
>Naturally increase a man's free testosterone
Uh huh...
>>64267449
You keep it going Finnbrah. Stay with your teams and dont be faggot who bandwagons
>>64267426
GETTING GOOD SHOTS x4
>>64267449
It's the same everywhere. Obviously you don't have that option if you're watching the NBA but people will judge each other for bandwagoning away from the local team
>>64267403
It would kill fan interest for some teams but would increase competitiveness. You would just need to get rid of the draft and then institute a hard salary cap like the NFL. Players out of college could sign with anyone. Also no max contracts. Prevents superteams. Obviously will never happen though
>>64267467
Thanks Norwaybruh. Fenno-Scandinavian unity forever!
>>64267489
Well, I understand it. Nothing is more annoying than a shit eating grin on a bandwagoning faggot who has rooted for ManCity for three weeks.
>>64267412
THEY'RE GETTING GOOD LOOKS
fucking kill me
>The Celtics wasted the 17th pick on Young
Feels bad man.
Isn't LeBron supposed to win these kinds of games?
>>64267501
>It would kill fan interest for some teams
That's a fucking huge problem. Do you not realize how little attention some teams in the NBA get as it is? If relegation were put in place then multiple teams would become unprofitable and fold.
There's really nothing wrong with the current system. The cap could be harder, but other than that there's not any huge problem with the NBA.
>>64267562
This is Lebron without his HGH
>Celtics refusing to shoot above 30% again
just
as
planned
honestly how the fuck does Stevens put up with this shit
How long until this Celtics team can be a contender?
>>64267664
>run great plays to get players open on the 3
>miss open shots
JUST
>>64267686
The resurgence has begun. Max two years.
>>64267585
Yeah you're right. I think a hard cap and no max contracts would be perfect for a more competitive league. But the players association would squash that right away since it would hurt the salary for the majority of players.
Re-thinking it, relegation would be terrible outside of the entertainment factor of watching the lower teams scramble to win towards the end of season. What we'd see is teams trading their young guys for proven players giving them an even worse chance of becoming contenders long-term.
Thomas makes some strange decisions. He should only drive into the paint, not stop for a fucking shot when there niggaz surrounding his miniature ass!
>>64267686
I think it will be awhile. Stevens gameplanning in the playoffs is a big boost but they still don't have the talent to compete. They're gonna have to hit a pick around spot 20 like Kawhi or land a whale in free agency. The latter is more likely but still not a great bet
>>64267585
>If relegation were put in place then multiple teams would become unprofitable and fold.
nope, the NBA as a whole would profit. Certain individual franchises would fold like the shitty bucks, but fans of those teams would just become Chicago fans anyway. Losing a few thousand fans in nowhere milwaukee would be a drop in the bucket compared to the overall big picture.
>>64267759
Seems like he thinks he's bigger than he is. I fucking love watching him play though
>>64267784
>Lakers relegated
>league loses a shit load of money
>>64267759
Honestly I don't understand him sometimes.
Lately he's been trying way too many fucking threes, and his decisions have been mediocre (at best).
Nigga, you're 5'9'' just get the ball to the paint and create an opening like you're good at.
REFBALL
>>64267784
Do you really think that a league where about 5 teams are really competitive and the rest are eternally shit would be more profitable than one where about 20 teams are competitive to some degree and all of them are in the highest league?
>thats good I like that
>LEBRON IS CRYING
>LEBRON IS CRYING
This fucking commentary lmao
>>64267831
He was frustrating to watch against the Warriors
These Boston commentators are awful
Announcers making this game unwatchable, holy shit.
Is LeBron making short shorts back in vogue? Shumpert's are riding high
Lebron and J.R. little bitch niggas
>>64267860
you're awful
>>64267853
Why is Boston so butthurt at LeBron? It's not like they've been competitive for all the years he's BTFO them like the Bulls
>>64267853
>making a jester out of him.
Tommy's just speaking the truth.
LeBron is a crybaby when he doesn't get weak calls.
>>64267871
Never heard Heinsohn before eh? I try to approach his commentary as comedy but he still makes my ears bleed
>>64267822
Same senpai but lately though baka
>>64267831
Yeah, he fucked the GSW game, heroball and making bad decisions with the ball. He needs to understand he is gonna basically get fucked in the paint if he doesnt have half a step going for him. Fucking ass sometimes. Decent player though when it comes to scoring from outside and such bizz
lmao
Tommy going to have a heart attack
>Lebron started crying
I like this guys
>>64267093
Most of the time to look cool, but they improve blood flow in the muscles which means more oxygen gets to the muscles so they don't fatigue as quickly or some shit
>>64267860
>>64267871
clueless about who you're talking about, i see. welcome to watching the nba newfriends.
Tommy is fucking DESTROYING LeBron tonight. Amazing.
Damn this Cavs team is dirty as fuck
Rustling the shit out of Tommy though, so the commentary is A+ and I'm ok with it.
>>64267896
this Tommy is an OG
>>64267920

Holy shit who is this announcer I love him

http://strawpoll.me/6279474
>>64267955
Apologies for not giving enough of a shit to remember away announcers
>>64267886
He's faced the Celtics 62 times, but has a 34-28 record against them.
These were the numbers as of last year.
this commentary is absolutely cringeworthy
i would kill myself if i was a boston local and had to listen to this regularly
>>64267955
What can you do, we're playing the Cavs, bandwagoners gonna happen.
>>64267958
lol tbqh with you Joe
wow he actually didn't fuck up
SEE ISAIAH
THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
NOT THOSE STUPID QUICK SECOND 3S
HE DANCED THAT BIG GUY RIGHT OUT OF THE BUILDING
>>64267980
So? Is that a reason to hate his guts?
>>64267981
Do it anyway
>>64268000
This as well.
fuck, i missed that last play
>>64268016
He's a lil fuccboi that's why I don't like him

>implying I watch the shitty Celtics play
>lebron is crying again
>he should have been ejected with 12 fouls

holy shit these guys ar the goatmentators

not before boston lose on some shitty foul call on lebron and the commentator has a heart attack and dies
>>64268040
this
>>64267955
Sorry, I usually don't waste my time on anything but the Spurs
>>64268016
I don't hate him, I just think he's a crybaby.
You said he's btfo the Celtics for years, the numbers say otherwise. Paul Pierce always killed him.
>>64268042
>>64267977
hes been announcing Celtics games for years.
maybe if you didnt start watching until after LeBron joined the Heat you'd know this
>>64268053
>look at him he's crying lol
>while he continues to whine and complain about him like a baby
Typical Boston
>>64268056
>implying Tommy hasn't become resistant to heart attacks by now
he has like 4 a night now
Where are you all watching this? I'd like to get in on the fun.
>he's getting everyone involved
>only one assist right now
>>64268076
You kekd him lel
>>64268071
I meant since he left the Cavs. I realize that it hasn't been that long but with the way Boston fans despise him you would think he had destroyed them every year for the past decade
>>64268090
Shut up. LeGod is legoat
heinsohn is in top form this game. fuck all you haters.
Anyone wanna help a bro out? Where you watching this?
>>64268110
Boston fans dont mind fags but despise faggots, it basically that simple.
>>64268110
Just hate his attitude in general. He's a good player, but cries every time he doesn't get a call and he's a quitter. Literally left a finals game because it was too hot. He had to be carried off the court in a playoff game because of "cramps". He's a quitter and a whiner and people hate that
This is what we've learned about Boston fans from this thread so far
>hoped that the Warriors beat them because they'd rather another team succeed than their own
>intensely defensive about their immature commentator and care more about him than their actual team
>>64268172
NBA league pass finnbruh, but I used this shit before: http://www.vipleague.me/sports/basketball.html
>>64268082
lebron whining like a bitch to the refs has been very annoying the last years though
no guy can touch him without flopping and unless he gets the foul he always shouts to the refs
>>64268172
there over 300 confirmed free streams over the internet bruh.just use your google-fu skillz
>>64268197
I guess I should finally cave in and buy the god damn pass. Thanks anyway Norbreh.

>>64268193
dude us bostonfags hear shit every year from every direction from philthyfags, jew yorkers, los angelvatos, and other big city scum. you think we care about the insignificant thoughts of a truck stop like cleveland
>>64268175
>he cries every time he doesn't get a call
Try being a player who makes his living going to the basket and getting fouled over and over. Do that for years and years and make a successful living out of it.
Now imagine that the league finally realizes that everyone hates you and the refs start refusing to give you calls that any other player would get. Wouldn't you get angry?
Other players get away with so much on LeBron these days it's ridiculous.
>>64268193
>Mentions a faggot exception
>Commentator is immature...
Tommy Heinsohn is a fucking winner and legend of the game and loyalty without end
>>64268193
Tommy has 4X sad many rings at Lebaby and is a 2X HOF inductee.
>>64268175
>>64268202
>have the gall to complain about LeBron getting fouls when the game plan is LITERALLY to club him and wrap him uo so he can't even shoot the ball.
Unbelievable. He's fouled so much the refs can't call everything. That's unironically the strategy. To foul SO OFTEN they get away with a handful of them.
You haters are something else.
>>64268231
>hear shit every year from every direction from philthyfags, jew yorkers, los angelvatos, and other big city scum

I get that Celtics fans are happy that they won a bunch of rings back in the day but comparing those to modern championships is silly. The league was a lot less competitive back then.

>>64268378
He's been in the league a long time, and know his shit. He is a winner and will continue to win by being Tommy Heinsohn. Like "back in the day" doesnt validate shit, doesnt compare shit to anything, just stating the facts that he is a 2 time hof and got his rings negro. It is what it is.
G8 thread tonite guise
>>64268381
it's just NBA TV carrying the local broadcast, as you'd know if you watched much. Gorman is actually one of the best in the league if you can be bothered to pay attention and learn. Stop being new.
Heinsohn is old and complains but he's in one of those situations where it's his job until he dies or health fails.

Another foul on LeBron that went uncalled
That's what I'm talking about. You just can't call it wvery time or he'd take 50 fts
LEGOD JAMES
Rose did it better
Crowder is taking a lot of poorly setup shots he really shouldn't. Celtics need someone not named IT to drive more.
Weren't the Celtics supposed to be good? The Cavs are barely trying
>>64268502
thats because his shit talking against lebron literally took the soul out of him after lebron started shitting on him
>>64268502
Yeah someone needs to punch him in the face and wake him up
>>64268502
They're all taking stupid ass shots though.
Sully shooting threes should be illegal
>>64268515
no, that has nothing to do with basketball.
Who would you rather die in a car fire, Harden or Lebron?
>>64268542
Harden because he smells
Is there a link between anticipation for Star Wars and love of black cock?
>>64268558
There could be tbqh with you Joe
>>64268542
Both are fun to watch, and I genuinely think that LeBron is one of the all time greats.
So Harden I guess. But he is okay in my book too.
>>64268558
If you're 287 bruh
>trying the dirk fadeaway at the 3pt line
why? not even the strongpoint of bron's game but he doesn't need to be making the shot harder on himself.
>>64268542
Why would I ever wish for LeBron to die. I love that man
>4 people on LeBron under the basket, meaning everyone's free on the edge
I can't imagine this was Stevens' gameplan
Something's wrong with the Green Gang tonight. Cleveland's in their head, have to be.

I've said it all year and it will never not be true.
Butler's good to keep the team afoat in the regular season, but the Bulls only go as far as Rose will take them.
It's so irritating to see that city worship an average talent like Butler.
basquetbol.
>>64268752
if you had any attention span you'd know tommy has actually said a lot of good things about lebron mixed with the complaints about calls he gets. especially with how hard it is to pick a player to defend him, though amir has had moments.

>>64268818
having all stars on one roster and having a good team are not the same thing. The Clippers are dysfunctional and their bigs Griffin and Jordan tend to meme on teams with horrible post d. They sputter when Paul is injured or getting rest. Not contenders although I admit how it's easy to fall for their shit and believe in them.
>>64268857
>tfw I believed in the Clippers when they beat the Spurs in 7
Never again.
>>64268803
It's because Rose has let them down so many times. Chicago fans are smart enough to realize that he just can't lead them to glory and so they pick someone else to be their favorite. Of course, like you said Butler isn't that good, so they'll still be let down.
>>64268854
in response to ignorant complaining about "announcers", dumbass. Read the thread.
>this shooting
Doesn't even surprise me anymore.
>>64268873
If they were reasonable then they would admit that their announcer is childish and nothing to be proud of. That's why so many people made negative posts about him. But instead of that, they got defensive and called him based for talking shit about LeBron even as he shat directly on Boston's face
