Well, Troll Embid should also say his team gifted Boston with JB, JT when they had the chance to draft both but didnt (they instead drafted Simmons and Markielle), and Big Al for mis-using him and returning him to the Celts.

They only have embiid after all those years of tanking lol.

Congrats to the Celtics for the Banner # 18, and nice try - nice effort to the Mavs.

As godly as Luka has been on offense, he's a turnstile in defense, Even if the Celtics arent running PnR and iso vs Luka, their offensive scheme of things and is to attack the side where Luka is. His lack of defense, coupled with his lack of conditioning was exposed. Expect him to emulate what Jokic did to turn his physique around this summer.

Still no love for Kyrie tho. He didnt show up and was never really a factor in the 3 games in Boston. Never mess with the Leprachaun. Karma is a bitch.

Congrats to the Celtics fans here! After all that slander (which I may have contributed to sometimes), they finally got one. It's worth it.

Congrats to the Celts. They were a well rounded 2 way team perfectly matched to deal with Luka/Kyrie iso ball. It also helped they basically coasted in the easy east. If the east teams do not upgrase their roster Celts will be in the finals again.

Again, This issue will again fueled again and will be topic for next couple of days.. How many times those Americans can realize that their NBA championship is not the "WORLD CHAMPIONS"!!!! IPL of cricket, Tour de France, UEFA, etc... not called their champions as "WORLD CHAMPIONS" even they are the best leagues of their respective sports... I have respect for Denver, Spurs, Mavs that they are not called themselves as World champs even they won a NBA title because they know what is the real definition of "WORLD CHAMPION"... NBA should have memo for those teams using those "WORLD CHAMPIONS" term.. They are not the WORLD... That's why many hate USA citizens in general due to their stubbornness... They can have the label "BEST BASKETBALL LEAGUE IN THE WORLD" but they can't claim "WORLD CHAMPIONS" forever... They are just representing US cities, Their opponent is another US city too...

sixers mess up that rebuilding..too many nakisawsaw on sixers plans..

Theoretically, Sixers could have been:

Embiid
Maxey
SGA
Tatum / Donovan / Adebayo
Jalen Brown / Jamal Murray / Sabonis / Siakam
Porzingis / Booker / Turner
Jokic / Lavine / Capela
Giannis / Adams / Gobert

Of course if they drafted these players they might not have ended up on the NBA lottery anymore.

But it's crazy how many superstars they missed out on.

In fairness to Milwaukeee, they shipped Jrue to Portland, perhaps they thought he's going to play for them or will have a buyout and play elsewhere in the West, or maybe even retire. But unknowing to them, here's Brad Stevens swooping down with assets and Timelord as trade baits. Brad is like the modern day Red Auerbach, and Danny Ainge before him with this genius move.

Sidenote: Giannis created a groupchat with some of the Bucks but without Jrue, trying to convince everybody that Lillard will bring them back to the Finals, when words got out that Dame wanted out of Portland, and demanded a trade, preferably to Miami.

Dunno if the numbers work but Suns should have traded for him instead of Beal IMO.

Well at least fat Luka didn't win. That should motivate him to get into shape and cut back on the whining . And maybe play defence too

Yeah, Luka has to get in shape. As for defense, he was playing defense for every round except the Finals.

I'm confident he can get do that and stay focused, considering his mentality.

Not really. He was assigned to Gobert not exactly known for offense. Prior to that he was assigned to Giddy I think. Defense only players will be taken advantaged by Luka. The less defense he needs to do the more he can give on offense. This series proves that a 5 of two way players is the best match up for Luka. Celtics make him work hard on offense without doubling and take advantage of him on defense.
