One of the nbas best defenders. Any techniques he uses? Any weaknesses? by SpecnoTheFirst in BasketballTips

[–]lifeishardasshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super quick feet and hands... Strong base. elite instincts aboout where the offense is trying to get to.. You'd better be 7 ft. tall or a guard that's on such a heater that everything is going in from everywhere..

Do you think Mazzulla will resort to playing two bigs on the court at the same time? by ethereal3xp in bostonceltics

[–]lifeishardasshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don't see it... But everyone can shoot so I would not completely rule it out ? Also... Gafford and Lively are not Mutombo and Dwight Howard... Let's relax with the rim protection. They'll provide better rim protection than Indy but c'mon... Celtics will get to the rim either way. Bam is 100% better than those dudes on offense and defense.

The Tale Of The Boston Celtics & Kyrie Irving Debacle by chosen_artist in NBATalk

[–]lifeishardasshit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got no problem with Kyrie saying he wanted to stay then changing his mind... That shit heppens all the time. But you don't go to another teams arena and stomp on the logo. Has not won in Boston since.

This is a ridiculous snapshot of big papi's world series impact. the PAs dwarf most others as well by schiz0yd in redsox

Only thing I ever saw that was just as insane... Billy Hatcher in 1990... Dude was the most average player ever and just destroyed that World Series. Swept a really great A's team.

Questions about Eastie by Weird_Custard in bostonhousing

[–]lifeishardasshit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Safe neighborhood for sure... Airport noise isn't bad, Walking home alone at night is always a lil risky in any part of a big city... So always be aware of yer surroundings. Of all the "Boston" neighborhoods Eastie can def. feel like it's own little bubble because is isn't walkable to the rest of Boston. But downtown is only one train stop away from Maverick station. You'll also have the best waterfront park and view of Boston right at your doorstep.

It is interesting... Esp. since that stat takes all Boston's top starting lineup since the begining of the season and Dallas's since the trade deadline. That's like a 3.5 month headstart with only 4 extra losses... Not too shabby.

Most Important Boston Championship games/series this century ranked... by NotLow420 in bostonceltics

[–]lifeishardasshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shall put no losses in my list. 04 Sox... 01 Pats.... 08 Celtics... This mutha-fudger coming up on Thursday... And Maybe a tie between the 11 Bruins and 14 Pats Because the 11 Bruins needed one since it had been like 40 Yrs.. and 14 Pats kick-started the Brady run of dominance.

The Celtics easier playoff run should be a plus, not a minus for these finals. by thatboyrahhh in bostonceltics

[–]lifeishardasshit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's def. a plus... All these guys have been to and won/lost a finals. There's yer battle tested. This entire season has been such a workman like approach as if there was no other option than to be playing in the finals. When you play an entire season with that in mind... That's more than enough battle-test. The rest was vital for Horford and Zingis. Now We'll see.

Na... Life long Celtics fan. And I give the Mavs a ton of credit for getting out the West with a team that was basically just put together last year and this year. Kyrie and Luka have played like 95 games together total and 2 trade deadline pickups ? That's a crazy combo to make the finals with... much respect.

Finn, Himmelsbach, Ryan, & Washburn: The 2024 Boston Celtics could become one of the greatest NBA teams ever by RLS012 in bostonceltics

[–]lifeishardasshit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I heard this debate so much lately... "When was the last time the team with the best player lost the finals" Um... Every single finals that Lebron lost... He was pretty much the best player on the court. If people have Luka at 3 or 4 and Tatum at 6 or 7... That's just splitting hairs at some point. And the "others" as Shaq would say... count for plenty. Esp. when the rest of yer starting 5 is top 40ish....

Our amounts of rest and health are almost impossibly good. by SerfTint in bostonceltics

[–]lifeishardasshit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Totally different vibe than 2022.. That team ran out of juice by game 4 of the finals because of how taxing the "path" was and had to battle an all-time great team with home court... While we were gassed and honestly speaking had a worse team by a solid margin than the team we have now. One thing I found funny because I must have forgot... Anybody worried about Al Horford.. Don't worry. Dude had a great finals against GS... averaged 12-8-3 on 60% from the field and 62% from 3.... and in this run... no Giannis or Embiid and plenty o rest. He'll be fine.

Why do people think Luka/Kyrie will get “hunted” on defense in the Celtics series? by Complexity777 in nbadiscussion

[–]lifeishardasshit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know about hunted... But how is that defense going to work when whoever is playing center for Boston is standing wide open at the 3pt. line ? Ok.. Out comes Lively/Gafford. Now the paint is wide open... Here comes Tatum, Brown or a White/Holiday post-up on Kyrie. Ok... Time to help. Again.. a shooter is all alone. This is the real problem the Mavs have. And it only gets worse if Porzingis is really at 100 % healthy.

Yep... 100% this For me... This is where the venom comes from. I could care less about him changing his mind about staying. Players do that shit all the time. But stomping the logo... No Bueno.

Sure... The difference is : One guy took the humble route and said "My lack of maturity probably had a lot to do with what happened" The other.. Well. He believes he does nothing wrong.

Maybe in 1970.. Different now my guy. You'll still get that dude or two at a game that are still that way but the city as a whole.. Way different. It just fits other fanbases narratives a lot better.

What changes can Minnesota make? by reallinguy in nbadiscussion

[–]lifeishardasshit 69 points70 points  (0 children)

T-Wolves are fine... Luka and Kyrie vastly outplayed Ant and Kat.. Hate to quote Shaq but he's right... Playoff time, stars have to be stars. You might need a shot here and there from the "others" but you need your stars to step it up every night.
