Two comments to that to consider:Monkey_Driven wrote:This graphic makes me want to hurl.Coach wrote:Yeah, we've had a tough time lately.verb_to_trust wrote:No Superstar has ever chosen Boston. Everyone knows it's a racist town.
At least a good portion of these series / games were competitive, so that's what I am always looking for as a sports fan
With regards to the Pats, Bruins, Celts, ..... you've gotten to see them all get killed in championships during that same time period, with the 2007 Pats still owning the biggest choke in sports history.
So, there's that side of the coin too

What Superstar has chosen to play is Boston. Bill Walton in the 80s? Nobody even watches the other sports.Coach wrote:failsverb_to_trust wrote:My point stands

He didn't want to come to Boston and then got sold on it and had to make things happen to make it happen.
And since the, they've landed Hayward and Horford.
There's a lot of bad, bad NBA teams that have zero shot at ever landing a superstar and long histories of failing to do so. To focus only on Boston, is a tired sports radio cliche, verb.

Hayward and Horford are not superstars and KG left to his own devices would have never gone there.

Re: NBA Thread
I would argue Hayward is one of the worst players in the league averaging 25 minutes a game. Marcus Smart is better.

Re: NBA Thread
The point is Boston is a blue blood. If you want to win championships historically you start with Boston and LA. LA has nothing to trade.
New York hasn’t been competitive since Ewing, the market is vastly overrated. The building is absurdly overrated. The ownership is bad.
I’d just like to see some team like Houston, OKC, Milwaukee, Toronto, Philly hell San Antonio, make a run at him and see what happens.
So many teams in the league are just shit, rebuilding is an excuse to live with bad evaluation, bad ownership and bad management forever. You can’t sell half the league right now, and that’s with the G league.
