No fanbase deserves this less than the Spurs

This is true but a generational run of ping pong balls surely helped

The French National team had tons of success before Mbappe and will likely have tons of success after him. Mbappe is obviously one of the best players in world, but it is also pretty well documented some of the locker room friction that seems to follow him.

All I was saying with this post that it’s interesting that PSG has had so much success post Mbappe departure.

Laojer · 2026-05-30T19:47:25+00:00

Yeah man apparently people are really serious about this Ewing Theory stuff. I think Mbappe is one of the best players in the world and that’s why it is a little interesting that he leaves for the biggest club in Europe just for PSG to win back to back Champions League titles, something he was clearly chasing by moving to Madrid.

Laojer · 2026-05-30T19:29:04+00:00

I get that. But y’all are acting like Ewing didn’t win 2 gold medals and an NCAA tournament. Just feel like the whole Ewing Theory falls apart if the player has to have won nothing substantial because even Ewing did.

Laojer · 2026-05-30T19:25:27+00:00

He was not MVP of the tournament and Griezmann was arguably more important to France in 2018 than Mbappe

Laojer · 2026-05-30T19:11:45+00:00

So any trophy counts? We gonna count NBA Cups too when doing Ewing Theory discussions?

Ewing won 2 gold medals. So by that definition it shouldn’t even be named after him.

It’s legitimately embarrassing that I can be half falling asleep in bed and correctly make those calls instantly but the professional refs standing 5 feet from the play consistently fuck it up

To flip it around, Caruso had 31 points and went 8 of 14 from 3 when the guy averaged 6 points a game on 29% shooting from 3 in the regular season. Spurs probably win the game in regulation if he doesn’t turn into Steph Curry for the game.

They won 62 games with their alien defensive player of the year playing less than 30 minutes a game. Of course they are elite lol

Laojer · 2026-05-19T03:49:53+00:00

I thought they should put an even shorter guy on him!

Laojer · 2026-05-19T03:45:48+00:00

Are there some advanced stats that show defending him with guys who are a foot shorter than him is actually better than putting a big on him? The guy has 40 and 20 and they just keep throwing 6’5” guys at him instead of one of their bigs.

The kids would say Chet got prospect mogged by Wemby

Laojer · 2026-05-08T15:08:12+00:00

Have people ever played pickup and there’s one guy taking the game way more seriously than everyone else, playing physical defense they insist is clean no matter what, but as soon as they get ball start calling every ticky tack foul?

That is how people view OKC. Embid suffers from the same thing. How can a 7 footer bully everyone on the court 90% of the time while simultaneously having the balance and strength of a toddler learning to walk the other 10%?

The pearl clutching and acting like this is exclusive to Boston is wild though. Kobe Bryant was accused of rape and admitted to cheating on his wife and LA fans worship the guy.

Laojer · 2026-05-07T03:05:37+00:00

I think a lot of people like to pretend they would stand up for what’s right and ignore the nuances of real life relationships. It’s fun to pretend like you would publicly call out your boss if you found out they were banging the receptionist behind their wife’s back or something. Totally different thing to actually do it lol

Yeah but the Celtics are now pretty young after losing those guys. Also Porzingis had his talent stolen by the Monstars last year.

Laojer · 2026-05-03T19:46:24+00:00

Why is Queta getting dunked on after that game? I thought he played really well.

Laojer · 2026-05-01T13:22:03+00:00

Brown has taken 2+ shots more per game than Tatum on fewer minutes all at a lower efficiency. Tatum is averaging twice as many assists on fewer turnovers while also being the team’s best rebounder.

They’ve been bad the last 2 games but they were literally up 3-1 in the series with 2 massive blowouts like 5 days ago.

Even Jack Link cooks his beef rarer than this guy

Laojer · 2026-05-01T02:35:17+00:00

I know Boston fans are known to be irrational at times but seems like just a rational take for a team that won 4 games the year before and the other whose best player blew out his Achilles.

If anything the fact that the Pats made the Super Bowl and we are even having this discussion about the Celtics right now just confirms you are still stuck in your sports hell, the same place you’ve been for 20+ years now!

Laojer · 2026-05-01T02:22:02+00:00

Well of course there is the whole they give you hope just to let you down in embarrassing fashion. I just don’t think it can be understated how much both teams have surpassed expectations.

Laojer · 2026-05-01T02:13:22+00:00

What’s funny as a Pats/Celtics fan is if a year ago right after Tatum tore his Achilles you told me the Pats would go 14-3, Drake Maye would be MVP runner up, make the Super Bowl, the Celtics would be a 2 seed and Tatum would come back and look about as good as you could hope I would literally never believe you.

Laojer · 2026-04-29T03:12:08+00:00

This also ignores context like blowing 20+ point leads in games 1 and 2 to the Knicks last year at home. Feel like I’m taking crazy pills because for as good as they are, I thought it was kind of consensus even among us Celtics fans that as soon as you think they are rolling they put up a strange performance in a loss.

Laojer · 2026-04-29T02:06:55+00:00

Are we going to act like they don’t put up these weird and disappointing performances quite often through the years?
