I don’t understand why people saying LeBron to the Rockets would change any of this. CP3 looked shook out there and Harden didn’t look any better. Adding another star is only gonna complicate things and none of it will be a gurantee. Philly too. Simmons can’t shoot and looked shook against the Celtics and Emiid’s health is still a question mark.

like I said before, the Western Conference is not much better than the Eastern Conference. the Warriors are just too good.

next season will be interesting though. Celtics being healthy, and wherever Kawhi & Bron going can challenge the Warriors.

49ers..Braves..Celtics
expecting everyone to be like lebron and underachieve on super teams brehs



kd doin what he supposed to do... Win

Curry played terribly until the 3rd. Dating back to game 1. If KD isn't on the team this is a close series. Of course he's winning. He's shooting fish in a barrel. That's impressive to you but that ain't what GOATS do :mjgrin:

I would mention the Spus as well but that roster around Kawhi is just too ass besides LMA and that assumes Kawhi is fully healed and patches things up with the Spurs and doesn't have a foot out the door.

Healthy Celtics ARE NOT on GS level, nikkas need to stop thinking they are

yes they are as long as that defense stays at this level. they move the ball on offense and have athletic threats at every position. golden state hates when teams move the ball the way they do.

Brawn's too calculated to tie himself at the hip with Hardens deal and the max CP3 is gonna command. Basically no way to retain Capela in that scenario, might have to lose others & he'd have to play the Dubs sooner than neccessary.

Philly has its question marks but they're definitely in play. Tons of cap, he's Bens idol and tasting a tough playoff exit like they did can always have a team aggressively pull the trigger.

I don't even think a healthy Celtics team can compete with GS. Beating LeBron with his worst supporting cast is one thing, facing 4 all stars is something else, even when they get Kyrie and Hayward back. Neither of those two remedy what the Warriors will and can do to other teams.

I think bron joining Houston would have a better chance.

Lebron joining Kawhi in San Antonio with Popavich coaching them probably has the best chance.

I still see it more likely than not that the Warriors get 4 in a row.

No im sorry but no. GS has an overwhelming talent advantage. Curry is a better player than Kyrie , point blank.

Brown/Tatum are wayyy to young to think about winning titles already.

KD is MUCH better than Gordon fukkin Hayward.

GS plays defense too yeah. Healthy Celtics would lose in 5 vs golden state. GS does everything the Celtics does but better

I was thinking the same thing. Harden isn’t a proven playoff performer and CP just made it to his first conference final.

I don’t think Simmons is gonna move the needle versus GS. Maybe in a few years but I think he’d be good versus Kerr. Not to mention, what if Emiid goes down and has to miss time? No way that’s gonna sit well with Bron.

breh are you stupid ? it is not an overwhelming talent advantage at all. did you miss the part where they have 5 all-star caliber players, 4 of which are just entering their prime ? PLUS great bench pieces ? PLUS the best defense in the league ? PLUS the best coach in the league ? there is not a player you can help off of in their starting lineup next year.

these young cats are only getting better. i guarantee their defense will take steph or klay out every game and make the other inefficient. these dudes are two wins away from the damn finals without two-all stars. i don't think you realize what you are witnessing. like everyone that keeps talking about the system. these dudes can BALL.
