Hayward will be alright. Irving and his history are more concerning. If he can't recover they don't have to resign him after next year.verb_to_trust wrote:It remains to be seen if they are going to be better with diminished versions of their former max level players.Monkey_Driven wrote:Except it would be as if Rose and Noah missed the playoffs.verb_to_trust wrote:All the stuff people are saying about Boston is the same stuff people were saying about the 10-11 Bulls.

Re: NBA Thread
Jason Tatum can flat out ball. The Celtics will be really good for a long time. If LeBron goes to Philly “really good” might not be good enough, though.
I’ve been one of the “they don’t miss Kyrie much” people, and I still think that’s mostly true. But they miss him when everything falls apart, there’s no ball movement and they need someone to score one-on-one. Tatum can already do it, but he doesn’t DEMAND the ball yet. He will though. But they could have used Kyrie at the end of the last couple games.
I don’t know if Kyrie is long for the Celtics anyway because Tatum is pretty clearly going to be their best player very, very soon. I wonder how Kyrie will handle being second banana to a younger guy.

Also, I'm not sure exactly how I've felt about LeBron, but what he did in this series was pretty amazing.

Re: NBA Thread
Kind of think the Warriors are lucky to only be down 11 right now. Have made some tough shots to stay in it.
