Reminder that he said IT is not a top 10 PG in the NBA and he would take Bledsoe, Hill, Conley and Walker over him lmao

There are atleast 10 PGs in the NBA I would rather have on my Celtics

I mean he is only 2nd in the entire league in scoring and 1st out of all players in 4th quarter scoring.

I can easily name 10 better Point Guards than him

Who are the other 3?

Rockets 76 FG attempts...38 of those from 3 = 31 Free Throws

Celtics 98 FG attempts...32 of those from 3 = 12 Free Throws

James Harden alone took 6 more Free Throws than the entire Celtics team. At the half the Free Throw disparity was 20-2 in favor of Houston. Boston finished the game with more points in the paint.

By making cocaine and weed illegal and turning them into felons?

Or is this just a conspiracy theory?

Really enjoyed how he ruined the BOS vs SAS game...happy we got a total of 2 free throws in the 2nd half :)

Not like our Point Guard averages 10 FTAs per game and the most drives to the rim out of any player.

Spurs are not destroying them at all.

Last year there was alot of controversy when Portland got the the 4th seed for winning their Division despite having only the 6th best record in the league which led to a first round series between the Clippers and Spurs (both had better records than Portland). As a result Division Winnners no longer get an automatic 4th seed, however Miami still got a huge advantage from winning their division. For anyone who doesn't know, Miami, Atlanta, Boston and Charlotte all finished the season 48-34 and Miami ended up with the 3 seed as the southeastern division winner.

Now as a Celtics fan, I don't really mind not having homecourt and facing Atlanta in the 1st round (even though both Charlotte and Miami are easier matchups for us) but I find it pretty weird that a team we swept the season series against (3-0) wins the tiebreaker over us.

What are your thoughts?

He is arguably the greatest Center of all time and a lock for the top 3 yet some people don't even mention him in their top 5...

I wonder if those people are aware of the fact that Hakeem played in the era with the toughest competition for any bigmen and he outplayed all of them. He dominated Kareem in 1986. He destroyed Ewing in the 94 finals holding him to 19 Points per game, he outplayed first Stockton and Malone and then Charles Barkley in the 95 Playoffs before embarrassing reigning MVP David Robinson and Dennis Rodman in the WCF. In the Finals he swept Shaq.

Hakeem's 94 and 95 Rockets are 2 out of only 6 teams to win a title with just 1 Allstar on their roster and his ring in 1994 was and still remains the only time anyone won a championship without another Hall of Famer or Allstar by his side. The only finals he lost was vs a super stacked Celtics team in 1986, considered by many to be one of the greatest teams of all time.

The Dream could score at will and against everyone while his defense was that good that he is still number 1 in career blocks while also being in the top 10 for steals (only Center). He also has the 3rd highest Blocks per game career average behind only the 2 specialists Mark Eaton and Manute Bol but ahead of guys like Mutombo.

and walk to the side while Lebron drives the lane?

You are not allowed to get close to him there anyway.

Useful to determine a player's impact on a team? Nonsense?

I am interested to hear the illustrious Yahoo Answers Basketball section's opinion on this.

...when a guy can score 32 Points on 6 made Field Goals?

Talking about Isaiah Thomas last night, he shot 6-14 but finished with 32 points, that's even hard to accomplish for James Harden. Can we just go back to letting teams play defense? Celtics and Wizards combined for 72 free throws last night.

There is no doubt that he won't be one this year with Kyrie already having the most votes and guys like Wall, Butler, Lowry and Derozan who have a much higher reputation so they will be nominated by the coaches instead of IT. But do you feel he would deserve it from a performance standpoint? Dude is averaging 21 and 7 with 1.5 Steals per game. He is the best Free Throw shooter (while getting to the line alot) and has the 2nd most Assists per game in the East. In 19 out of 31 games he scored atleast 20 points and he only had 1 game with less than 10 points, so he is a very consistent (albeit not super efficient) scorer.

Honestly ridiculous....nothing against the Dubs, they are a fantastic team but that officiating is unbelieveably onesided towards them.

KG is 39 years old rofl...

Every game my Celtics play vs Miami I always get extremely mad seeing him complain to the refs for 48 straight mins...yesterday was another prime example...why don't the refs just eject him?

Said it before the season started, Celts are gonna win 50+ games...making this question now so I can go back on it later and say "I told you so" at the end of the season
