Keyser Soze: It was his first time taking on the role of a lead guy. First time leaders tend to fail. May 28, 2024 10:56:08 GMT -6
Keyser Soze: Can't argue the Celtics tenure was a failure. But would've it been that way if he didn't get hurt year 1? Things might have turned out differently. But that was an actual injury outside of his control May 28, 2024 10:57:17 GMT -6
sidtiancam: If it was his play ON the court that let them down, that's one thing. The rest of the article that I pulled from, he is referencing the fact that he alienated himself from teammates, would go days between games without so much as speaking to ANY teammate. May 28, 2024 10:59:22 GMT -6
sidtiancam: Or coach. Even if you're injured, which is out of your control, you can still be engaged with your teammates in a team sport. May 28, 2024 10:59:54 GMT -6
sidtiancam: That is why I say that it's great to see him like he is now. He and Luka have a great thing going. May 28, 2024 11:00:15 GMT -6
Keyser Soze: Let's say you go on a date. And it's going great. Toward the end, the dessert comes out. You reach your arm out for some of the strawberry shortcake. And accidently knock over the candle on the table. Which sets your dates pants on fire. May 28, 2024 11:01:17 GMT -6
Keyser Soze: You see how that unfortunate unintentional bad ending to what started out great. Could now negatively dictate how the rest of the relationship will go? May 28, 2024 11:01:57 GMT -6
sidtiancam: You crack me up! May 28, 2024 11:04:20 GMT -6
sidtiancam: By the way, the reason I make sure to point out pre-pandemic. I actually appreciated the fact that he stood on his own regarding vaccination. That SHOULD have been a choice all along. May 28, 2024 11:05:50 GMT -6
lionsbryan: FDA would like us to believe he's ever been on a date. May 28, 2024 12:45:43 GMT -6
Keyser Soze: Who would guard Kyrie in the Finals? Jrue or D.White? May 28, 2024 12:57:27 GMT -6
sidtiancam: Probably Jrue on Doncic and White on Kyrie. Dallas will try and get Horford and Porzingis switched over to them as much as possible. Boston is ok with any of the other four (Brown, Tatum, White, Jrue) on them, though. May 28, 2024 14:27:54 GMT -6
sidtiancam: I am expecting that they will try and limit Irving, but let Doncic get his shots. Dallas is better when Doncic's assist numbers stay above 7-8. They will try and reduce the lob threat at all cost. May 28, 2024 14:29:33 GMT -6
sidtiancam: Jrue is the difference maker for Boston. He is the glue piece for their defense. May 28, 2024 14:30:35 GMT -6
sidtiancam: If I were the Celtics offense, I would make sure that Doncic was the primary defender EVERY time down the floor. Not because I think he's bad, but I would make him work as much as possible since he's a little banged up. May 28, 2024 14:34:39 GMT -6
sidtiancam: In the two regular season meetings, Doncic had 30 point triple doubles in both of them. Irving scored 19 and 23. They scored 110 in both games. Lost the game in Dallas by 9 (119-110), and the game in Boston by 28 (138-110). May 28, 2024 14:47:29 GMT -6
sidtiancam: Which makes me think they will at least start out doing what I mentioned above (letting Doncic take his contested shots, and not letting other get going). May 28, 2024 14:48:50 GMT -6
Keyser Soze: I don't know. Seems like Luka enjoys the challenge. Everytime he makes a great defensive play you see the smile on his face. Like when Rudy Gobert tried to post him up. And he knocked the ball out May 28, 2024 18:32:48 GMT -6
Keyser Soze: I think that further fuels him. And makes him go into his Larry Bird assassin mode on offense May 28, 2024 18:33:37 GMT -6
Keyser Soze: If I'm Boston I stick to my principles. You got the most balanced team in basketball. With 5-6 different guys that can get hot and go for 25-30 any given night. May 28, 2024 18:34:57 GMT -6
