Crowder has been a killer on offense. A Celtic killer.

This is pretty reasonable. Disregard the 13 game playoff winning streak that immediately preceded that abomination. This, probably meaningless, game is definitely much more representative of his entire career than everything else he's ever done.
Seriously. If anything I would point to the Finals against Dallas.

They actually had a chance there for a bit till they stopped moving the ball in the third.

There will be lots of time to debate/preview the finals. My basic contention is that this Warriors team is playing at pretty much the most dominant level we've ever seen in NBA history and that they are just too good for everybody.

LeBron is one of the two best players ever regardless of what happens in that series, if that series happens.

Oh I think the warriors will win, don't get me wrong. They will get way too much credit if they do though. All this most dominant team of all time stuff is bullshit. They have had zero competition thus far. Playing a real team like the Cavs COULD look a little different. We'll see.

I hope so.

The numbers are pretty clear that the Warriors are one of the most dominant teams ever at this point. Part of that probably is the lack of competition (KD's major contribution), but the statement remains true. You don't have to be impressed by it or sing their praises, but their margins of victory, etc., clearly indicate dominance.

It indicates a watered down and top heavy league. I really wish it was more competitive. The east has been bad for a very long time but even the West was pretty garbage this season.

I'm wondering if the Celts should take Lonzo. I feel like I'm dismissing him because of his dad. I've never even seen Fultz play.
