man, shits were almost 100 just to sit in the 3's where i usually sit, pretty fucked, but i'm not watching them play some wack team. of course the obvious thing to do here is to bash the heat and all that jive, but the boston celtics really impressed me tonight.
ya i said it.
they did not give the miami heat any type of edge against them. last night looked like a bully beating up the new kid, and the new kid coming back for more and the bully just keeps on beating that ass.
spo is not the problem with the heat, riley's the puppet master in all of this, he's been telling spo what to do since he started his job here. riley takes notes during the big games, i'm sure they'll have a more consistent offense in the 3-4 months.
they are just not good enough on defense at any position, boston (and most legit teams) are still able to run their offense and score at will.
definitely out on a limb, if they win this year, i'll give them the title of best lakers team in this three peat, they aren't touching any of the last 3peats team, it's just not happening. we could also debate about some of the 80s team ya, but definitely not the 87' team. they could beat the 70's lakers i'll give em' that with maybe one exception but that's a reach. and the mikan era isn't even a question....
their bench is the best it's been in years, ya, hope you didn't mean best you've actually seen of any team in years or i'd have to question how you look at basketball games. and i'll bite my tongue on calling bynum dominant, and this generation's poor man's jordan* good luck to ya this season though.
man, this is probably gonna be a fucked up thing to say, but i really don't the league was that good when the lakers won that first 3 peat. shit, the only team that was seriously challenging them out west was a portland trailblazer team with an old pippen, rasheed (close to his prime) and motherfuckin arvydas sabonis and his damn behind the back passes. the east was so damn horrible back then too. iverson had no help when they played them, and nets had no chance.
i guess a weighing factor in of this is the fact that i have and always will hate shaquille o'neal. rick fox too.
