Not really.. no. How could it? what is anyone accomplishing by NOT competing against their peers?

they are....we have bron and Ad and we tried to add Kawhi at one point.....KD can't just have a brick wall on his legacy cuz he performs other nikkas tactics better than then. KD is competing against his peer Bron by putting together these teams

On one hand, I hear ya. On the other, I don’t. They are a supremely talented team and if they stay healthy they seem to be a juggernaut. They definitely seem to be favorite at the moment. But you lying if you can’t acknowledge how just about everyone on that team had been questioned or written off in some fashion.
KD: coming off a catastrophic injury that took a whole season from him and had people wondering if he’d ever be the same; been called a beta since his OKC days and that was amplified when he bolted for GSW
Ky: questioned on numerous occasions whether he even wants to play ball mostly because he doesn’t conform to what others expect of him; pretty much was told he wasn’t shyt without Bron and was later blamed for Boston’s failures
Harden: has been roundly criticized for coming up short in the playoffs; lambasted (albeit rightfully so) for how he left Houston

Hell, it sounds stupid now but people were openly questioning how a team with KD, Ky, and Harden could even function?

BG: washed
DJ: washed
Aldridge: washed

These cats are defying expectations low-key. BK deserves some credit for the team they have assembled. And to think we haven’t even really seen them at full strength. They’ve made trades and overcome injuries to field a team that looks unstoppable. I think they are honestly exceeding expectations. If you go back to the beginning of the season I don’t think they were the clear favorites. But look at them now. Look at them now, brehs. :wow:


exactly. Here we have 3 players who are routinely shytted on for various reasons coming together and now it's oh they're too damn good, they're the best team ever, they can only hurt their legacies not help them

but just a year ago Kyrie was the nikka who the Celtics were better with without him, and Harden was just a choking ass nikka and KD was a bytch. But them 3 together now it's the realist shyt since kumbaya

If they lose a single game in the playoffs I think you gotta keep them where they are all-time (tied for #1 best team ever with the 17 Warriors). A team more talented than any other in NBA history should be expected to go undefeated.

If they sweep through, no one has done it before and they deserve consideration for undisputed greatest of all time however.


so if the lakers got kawhi you would've had the same attitude? Let's say Bron + AD + Kawhi goes 16-1 in the offs with Bron as FMVP....you would've said it does nothing for Bron's legacy cuz they didn't go undefeated?

The Coli stays saying Kyrie and KD are better than Bron. We know Harden is better than Kyrie. If 3 players better than Bron can't win a title they're all trash. :mjlol:

Which would be rather hypocritical on a lot of people’s part who claim that rings aren’t the end all be all. They used that as an excuse in the Westbrook thread when his playoff failures were brought up, so don’t say a word about someone else’s.

Nahhhhhh those same dudes are going to be in the Nets thread slandering the team just like the rest of us :mjlol:
