Basketball (NBA/ FIBA)

Before Doncic put on some serious defense and being consistent, no way he should be compared to the great Larry Bird.

Celtics finish the job and win the NBA Championship.

16 years of wait… finally

credit to Danny Ainge and Brad Stevens.
the team stack up their picks and made some good trades alll these years and finally assembled the winning team.

Happy for Tatum, Brown, Jrue and Horford. Too bad Jayson and Jaylen play for the Celtics and have to be supported by all the scumbag Steve looking Boston fans (exlcuding Ronnie).

technically they are not completely wrong.
don’t think any basketball team in this world can beat the Cs in a 7-game series.
at this moment, they are the best in the world.

of course I know what you meant initially.

I watched 90’s finals games and they use the term ‘world championship’ all the way back then.

So it’s been a term used for quite some time. (Not sure why)

It’s really difficult because the Celtics themselves are extremely likable players but their fans are just fucking awful.

Must be a few picks attached. Bulls might finally be committing to a rebuild

Very strange. How else do you commit to a rebuild unless they think they’ve got buy in from big free agents.

Great trade for OKC. Caruso is one of the elite 3 and D guards in the league. I think only Mikal Bridges could have been a better move but was never happening for just Giddey the other way.

OKC should be seriously testing Brooklyn’s resolve with a trove of picks to nab Bridges and finally looking at a big man to help them as well.

Bulls executives making terrible decisions again.

What a surprise.

Picks!

Man OKC missed out here. It’s a huge haul for BKN but OKC could have given them that easily and only Bogdanovic going the other way. OKC adding Caruso, Bridges and a decent big would be seriously scary.

That said, if the Knicks pay OG, they are looking pretty scary themselves.

Knicks fleeced

At least half of those picks are probably late 1st rounders, maybe more. Bridges is on a cheap deal for the next 2 years. 24m per is a damn bargain in today’s market, especially for an elite 3 and D wing.

If they bring back OG, Hart and Hartenstein, they are set to be in the mix for the next few seasons at the very least.

The deal works well for both teams.

Knicks looking good

Lol, the Lakers aren’t a serious org.

Horrible value taking bronny in the second round.

Not going to knock Bron for exercising his leverage to get his son in the building but the Lakers are better than this

JJ Reddick and Bronny doesn’t help dispell the LeBron GM narrative. That the Lakers have been reduced to this is a bit embarrasing.
