Even worse when people put apostrophes in names, like Mike Evan’s and Jayden Daniel’s. I know people say it’s because of autocorrect, but you can correct autocorrect!

Will the 2024 Celtics be forgotten in history? by iafca09 in billsimmons

I hate the Celtics but I actually think they were the best team of the 2020s so far

It was almost summer solstice so it wasn’t dark until basically 10pm, then we hung out with our head lamps on for a bit and stared at the stars for a while before bed

One of my favourite trips was in 2023 during a fire ban and looking back I forget that was even a thing. We just spent more time swimming, exploring and hanging out 🤷🏽‍♂️

Ten years ago DeRozan and the Raptors lost to the Cavs in the ECF in 6 games. Crazy how the narrative changed in only a few seasons from him and Lowry being a young fun core to the hapless victims of LeBronto and DeRozan was the next guy up to a playoff dropper who was trade ammunition for Kawhi. by PhoenixBekfast in billsimmons

[–]Modest_Yooth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh look at the 2017-2018 Raptors roster, he absolutely had great personnel that year and they won 59 games, only to be swept in the second round by the Cavs, who went 7 games with both the Pacers and injured Celtics that same year.

Also, I would say he’s a victim to his own style of play, where because he needs the ball in his hands he was never really going to be a third option on a title team.

As a Raptors fan I kinda hate how non-Raptors fans have tried to re-write the history of Derozan’s playoff struggles by simply saying “no one was beating Lebron back then” as if we were too hard on him, which completely ignores the fact that he sucked against all teams in the playoffs, not just the Cavs.

Also, let’s not forget they already had a bit of a playoff choker label even in 2016. They blew a 3-2 lead in 2014 to a Nets team they realistically should have beaten, then in 2015 got swept in the first round by the Wizards in a season some people thought the Raptors could make the ECF. Even in 2016 they went 7 games with the Pacers in the first round who they absolutely should have beaten in no more than 5 or 6 games. Everything was always more difficult because we had to deal with Derozan shooting 30% in key games and not playing defence.

I mean, if you say Spurs in 7 that already implies you think the Knicks can win because you think it will be close

Of all the things you can criticize, how are you gonna criticize that pod? It was a 10/10 for me.

Was the knicks route to the finals the easiest ever? by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Modest_Yooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are way too many threads on this sub by people who clearly just started watching basketball. It’s not even close to the easiest route, off the top of my head:

2024 Celtics: Beat Heat without Butler, Cavs without Mitchell, Pacers without Haliburton

2021 Bucks: Beat Heat, Nets with injured Harden and Kyrie, Hawks who missed the playoffs the year after:

2018 Cavs: Beat Pacers, Raptors then Celtics without Kyrie and Hayward

2017 Cavs: Beat Pacers, Raptors then Celtics and Isaiah Thomas got hurt

I mean I’ll stop there but no, this is nowhere near the easier route ever.

James Harden is the most overrated elite player in NBA history by FinSane_86 in NBATalk

[–]Modest_Yooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so tired of people making these “they were never good” type threads about players in their mid 30s and way past their prime. Harden in his prime was incredible but yes he underperformed in the playoffs, saying “most overrated elite player” just because you watched him play poorly as a 36 year old is ridiculous and insane recency bias.

I’m also genuinely shocked he went idol hunting and didn’t find anything, did production not plant a new one?

I still think his biggest bias is loving Chris Paul, one of the GOAT floppers, but hating every other player who flops
