Wrong. Lebron is just a big enough threat that his pasty ass gets left open for 3s in the wing all night long. If he's not hitting 3s he's pretty useless.

blade you can post screenshots of you beating people like louie in 1v1s as much as you want (seriosly with your sound, set up, and stopwatch you shouldnt lose a 1v1) but it doesnt change the fact that he is 20x the player you are.

I'm happy for Lebron and he no doubt played phenomenal this season... but it's going to be one long ass summer conversing with delusional 'Lebron is better than Kobe and MJ' fans.

Out with the old jokes, in with the new.

How did your team do in the draft?

I'm pumped that the celtics were able to grab sullinger at 21.

that was such a steal...every GM overinflated the severity of his back issue and the celtics might have just got the frontcourt of the future in melo and sully

reports say that the celtics are shopping brandon bass in a possible sign and trade with memphis for oj mayo. I think that would be a good deal considering that mayo could provide both athleticism and scoring at the sg position. Solid replacement for ray allen. If we resign KG, which I expect, and Jeff Green then I don't see why the celtics can't make another run at it next season.

If you think Sullinger will be a good starter in the NBA, you're out of your mind and/or misinformed. Watch him when he plays against NBA-sized players (tournament vs Gonzaga for best examples), if he cant shoot over or muscle his defender, he gets frustrated and throws up a wild shot. Melo will be more productive for the C's than Sullinger because if worse comes to worst, he can lock down the paint and rebound. Put those two together and you still are without a reliable post threat so you better hope Sullinger develops his jump shot.


and why would Memphis do that? They were trying to get rid of Mayo for 2 years because of his cap number, and now you're going to replace his cap number that just came off the books with another 4/undersized 5 when you have Z-Bo, Gasol, and Speights (who really came along last year)? Teams will ante up to get Mayo and I doubt Bass would want to take a number that works for the Grizzlies. I dont see why you would want to ante up for Mayo when you have Bradley. It wouldnt be smart to part with Bass either because a full season next year is going to rickroll KG. Don't get too hyped about him when he was putting up numbers on Udonis Haslem and Co.


And everyone in the East will be able to say they can make a run next season. Someone HAS to play the Heat in the ECF. You've got the Pacers, Knicks, Sixers and then the Celtics and Bulls without Rose.

If Glen Davis can succeed as a starter for the celtics then why not Sullinger..Jared Sullinger is another Big Baby with more length and offensive skill. Give him time to develop his game under a great coaching staff and he will become a strong contributor to this team. Remember we are talking about the celtics here, an actual organization that knows how to develop players into specific roles in which they will succeed.It's not like we are drafting him to be a the best power forward in the league. If Sullinger declared himself for the draft last year he would of been selected within the top 5...to have someone like him slide to 21 how could you not take the chance?

And how would Mayo not help us? The only reason the celtics lost to the heat this year was due to a lack of depth and scoring off the bench. Avery Bradley is a solid player and probably one of the top 5 one on one defenders in the league. He is not on the court to provide scoring..Bringing a player like mayo off the bench to give our starters offensive help would be ideal. And the deal was just rumored anyways. My point is that I would like the celtics to find an individual like Mayo who could provide that type of role for our team. Someone like a Harden, Ginobli, or Lou Williams, whose main role is to come off the bench and score. If it means parting ways with someone like Brandon Bass then by all means do it. He was a no show in the end of the playoffs anyways. He is one dimensional with no post game and only a jump shot. Not to mention he doesn't rebound well. I would rather give Sullinger a shot and pick up a solid big who can rebound in FA.

And don't try to take away from KG's performance. Dude is one of the all time greats and was schooling on everyone for the entire second half of the season after we moved him to the center position.

Obviously you missed some points in my post. (Didn't read what I said about Sullinger struggling against guys his own height/size?)

Perry Jones was supposed to be the number 1 overall pick last year as well. Things change when you actually declare and tons of teams, scouts, and doctors have you under a microscope looking for any imperfections. Some players' value is never as high as after their freshman year because as time passes and they develop, many will question if they will ever reach all of the upside and room for development that people think they have. Sullinger's game was overpowering people, shooting over them, or popping for 15-20 foot jump shots. He has no real postgame when it comes to being defended by a similar-sized player. He doesnt have the elevation or the natural post moves to be a reliable post scorer. At least guy's like Thomas Robinson and Moultrie were explosive in addition to being better scorers. Saying Big Baby succeeded as a starter is just laughable. I suppose Haslem succeeded as a starter for the Heat. (Is it really hard to be the 5th banana on the floor?) Even on Orlando he has done nothing notable besides chuck a bunch of shots into Roy Hibbert's forearm for 5 games. You're clearly overvaluing Davis's production when on the Celtics instead of seeing him for what he was. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see Sullinger succeed as a B1G person but reasonably, you're asking alot if you think he'll be a good starter. (Especially with how you've thrown away Bass..)

And where did I say that Mayo wouldnt help you guys? The reason you guys lost to the Heat was the same reason you guys lost last year. When push came to shove in the final minutes, the Heat locked you guys up and just flatout outplayed you guys. You guys took a few games when they didnt have Bosh and Wade was playing like he was 50 years old. I could say the exact same thing about the Pacers and why they lost to Heat. Back to Mayo, my point was that he is not going to be worth 8m per season, he's not that much better than Bradley who really came on at the end of the season before his injury (He is also only 21 years old...). You're better off having Bradley start and allocating a portion of the money you would be giving Mayo to a more affordable backup. (Case and point: Mayo is not so far ahead of Bradley to be worth 8m to you guys) And seriously, you're going to say get rid of Bass because he was a no-show in the playoffs, and replace him with Mayo. You could probably ask theory about Mayo's performance in the playoffs. And please dont compare Mayo to Harden or Ginobili and follow it up by saying that their main role is to come off the bench and score.

Of course KG is one of the all-time greats but he's done. Putting up numbers against anyone not named Bosh on the Miami frontline is nothing special. David West was doing that with 1 leg/without jumping. And expecting another 82 game season + postseason out of him? Even you wouldnt bet much on that.

and I completely ignored the comment about the Celtics being "an actual organization who can develop players". Name one player on that title team that you guys developed. Let me guess, the Heat developed Mario Chalmers too right? You're trying to make the Celtics sound like the 1998-Present Spurs.

I applaud the optimism but let's remove the rose-tinted glasses. If I had your optimism, I would think the Pacers are title contenders next season.
