shyt still hurts brehs 13 point lead in the 3rd refs tightened that game up something serious in the 4th

Celtics literally had four players better than the 2nd-best guy on the Cavs.

When four of the top five players on the court are on the same team, you know how it will go. Celtics were not a great team, but no one was that year. Cavs were some smoke and mirrors that could fast break off Lebron during the regular season but struggled like hell against the wrong matchup. What was Mo Williams gonna do against Rondo? Anthony Parker against Ray Allen? Antawn Jamison against Garnett? And Mo, Parker, and Jamison were the only guys besides Lebron who could put in even 25 minutes/game for that team. Add in Lebron's struggles (elbow injury/shooting problems and still not having put it all together mentally yet either) and the Cavs ever-present coaching issues, and that series was a wrap.

It says a lot more about Cleveland's deficiencies that Boston's strengths. 2010 was a real down year in the NBA.

I don’t want hear that shyt. Everybody and the Mama knew it was going Be Kobe vs Bron. Going into that series not many was picking Boston. But this niqqa lose and once again the excuses come flying from his stanbase

You would think you’re responding to someone who started the Lebron chatter in this thread when who you are responding to was questioning why Lebron is being chartered about in this thread.

You dudes live to jump on a chance to rip that guy even in threads that don’t have shyt to do with him, yet you call others out for saying y’all niqqas talk about him in threads that have nothing to do with him.

NBA talk is so shytty because of you tyoes

His first post in here was shytting on Kobe. He’s a LeBron Stan. His agenda was very transparent. He prompted the LeBron slander by being disrespectful to Kobe in his first post. Why come into a Kobe thread if you can’t stand the man? Are we really gonna have to deal with insecure LeBron Stans every time there’s a Kobe thread. What a pathetic life they lead. nikkas scouring basketball reference at 11:50am. fukking loser

And that doesn't have shyt to do with you bringing up Lebron and pivoting this thread. Just defend Kobe.

You "whataboutism" niqqas are what's wrong with sports talk today.

It's pure shyt. Yall ruin it.

ITS FUNNY HOW THIS NEVER APPLIES

At what point do you not see it as a handful? That shyt is culturally ingrained by many. It’s tired as fukk and the reason why I’ve changed as an NBA fan. It’s toxic...and these dudes dilute basketball talk often. I hear that same pivot offline.

I guess my issue with it is putting it only on Laker fans or Kobe fans as if every fan base isn't littered with those types. Majority of conversations in real life and in forums is based on some agenda that people are trying to get across. Kobe has just as many haters that take every opportunity to shyt on him in threads or bring him up out of the blue. We all have our biases but the extreme fanaticism is corny and kills most threads on here.

nikkas didn't talk like this until Bron left Cleveland either it's the weirdest shyt. They're all buying into the constructed narrative of his disloyalty and have projected everything about their view of him accordingly.

Sports talk has become so infested with retarded ass hot takes. Always gotta drag other players instead of defending theirs.

One of the teams involved only won 50 games in the regular season and was so thin that Glen Davis played 48 minutes over Games 6 and 7.

The series turned on an injury to a starter in Game 6.

The winning team only shot 32% in Game 7 but rode a 37 to 17 free throw advantage to victory (giving them a 50+ ft advantage for the series).

The Finals MVP only shot 6-24 in the deciding game and didn't hit a single shot in the final five minutes of the fourth.

One team went to the line 21 times in the fourth quarter alone, more than the other team went all game, yet still only won by four.

The clinching shot was a deep three by Metta World Peace, who had been 1-6 from three in the game to that point and 10-31 for the series.

And most of all, it was just plain a hell of a lot of ugly basketball with a ton of lopsided whistles.

Bron isn’t making you talk about shyt. That is your own shyt for sports talk jaded free will that chooses to talk about him in a thread that doesn’t have shyt to do with him.

Aren't you a Kobestan?

You've only posted twice in the thread and both your comments were about me or Bron.

This thread is supposed to be about YOUR team and how they had a classic Finals matchup (or not), but you come on here shytting on their Finals opponent and suggesting that the Celtics weren't even as good as a starting lineup of Mo Williams, Anthony Parker, Bron, Antawn Jamison, and 38-year-old Shaq.

So you saying that a full-strength Celtics team shouldn't have been able to beat a Cleveland team that was starting a backup point guard, a D-leaguer, and a guy who should have retired already, but that same crappy Celtics team was up 3-2 on the Lakers until they lost their center in Game 6?

For you knocking down Bron is MORE important than propping up your own team in its own thread?


People weren't picking Boston over Cleveland in 2010 because Boston lost 8 of their last 13 in the regular season and people were thinking that they were just getting too old.

But when they entered the playoffs, Boston flipped the switch and looked like themselves again.

Rondo averaged 21-6-12 to Mo's 13-4-5
Garnett averaged 19-8-2 to Jamison's 12-7-1
Ray averaged 16-3-2 to Parker's 8-2-1

Lebron completely dominated Pierce, but it wasn't nearly enough when everyone else in your lineup is completely outclassed. How was he supposed to make Mo, Parker, and Jamison better than Rondo, Ray, and Garnett? Even the old, 70% versions of Boston's big three are going to be better than the cobbled-together roster that Lebron had to roll with.


Now, are you going to get back to the actual topic, about whether or not the 2010 Finals was a classic, or are you going to keep disparaging the Celtics and downplaying your own hero's legacy because you care THAT MUCH about shytting on Bron in a thread that ain't even about him.

I only made this thread because of that random 2016 Finals Appreciation thread

Now it comes out that even the OP had Bron on his mind when he made the thread.

The Cavaliers are the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference while the Celtics are the No. 4 seed.
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made Cleveland the overwhelming favorites to win the series with a money line of -450 while the Celtics have a line of +325.


I’m done.

Back on topic. Hell of a series.



Classic even in a loss
