Bench players talkin' like starters, I hate it

 

[Based Jesus]

How many rings pop got ?

2008 Celtics legit think their title is worth five titles.

Almost Ainge, Doc, KG, PP and Perk for sure. Maybe not Rondo and Allen.

 

[g-time]

That’s cus Rondo and Allen have one more than all of them.

 

[elpablo21]

Honestly it just looked like Allen was swiping at the ball and unfortunately their momentum was going in different directions and and the contact up top took Caruso's feet out. Reputation aside, I don't see that as particularly dirty TBH.

You can be a notoriously dirty player without every single play having a malicious intent.

Right? Guess some people in here have had the good fortune of never getting hit hard while off their feet. You don't have much control of anything.

got a concussion in college when this happened. went for a layup and dude just yanked me from behind with both hands.

learned my lesson, never hoop against football players..

 

[osh kosh bosh]

He thinks he’s on the same level as Pop?
He’s delusional if that’s the case

no, but like he's a hall of fame coach.
who has pretty great regular season record

all im saying I don't think his reaction is crazy.
of all the problems with the sixers, pointing the finger at docs regular season coaching seems pretty silly to me.

 

[storm2006]

He make it sound like Embiid ain't part of the reason why he's never been to a finals. He always hurt. He was trash in that series vs the Raps. He's been real inconsistent overall in the playoffs.

@morey

And Morey would rather win some petty power struggle than make a move to improve their team and help this guy win.

Joel oughta be throwing a fit.

As out of this world as Embiid is playing, we have to stop acting like pairing him with some souped up role players is going to put them over the top especially considering post-COVID Tobi's play. The narrative around why they aren't suceeding will just shift from not trading Ben to the roster quality.

Adams really helping open up the PnR game big time

 

[sneeker]

caruso kinda sold it a bit

WHAT?

 

[sneeker]

learned my lesson, never hoop against football players..

same here. I remember a guy just barreled thru me with complete disregard and totally out of control. ended up tearing an abdominal muscle from the impact. too bad my bad boy days were way past otherwise I could have played dirty and elbowed him a lot from succeeding plays.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

This dirty too?

 

[akajae]

yea. Flagrant 4.

So he should hold on to Ben for 4 years because that's all you're getting one way or another. A solid piece and picks

I rather show I'm invested to the guys on the court but that's just me

 

[storm2006]

While I think the problem with Rust is deeper than just raw FG%, this is bad

Looks like the prototypical villain from an old sports movie like Hoosiers or Rudy or something.

Literally anything of additional value is better than what they current have with that asset.

 

[Coupé It]

I needed to find the audio because I’m still in shock from last night. I thought maybe something was taken out of context? Maybe it wasn’t that bad?

Nope. It was worse.

He really does feel like he’s royalty.
