NBA 2023-2024

What are you even talking about? The big 3 Celtics famously beat the brakes off Cleveland Lebron to the point where he fled to Miami. Lebron's dominance of the East coincided with the Celtics rebuilding - after which Lebron beat the Tatum Celtics in Tatum's rookie year in a game 7 so congrats I suppose?

Very rich for you to complain about clichés and then spout off a whole lot of whataboutism. Based on your high horse I suppose it's ok to take credit for Minneapolis' titles but not their racist treatment of Elgin Baylor?
Rebuilding for a whole decade? During which he bounced the bum ass Celtics from the playoffs 5 times. 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2018.

Just accept your most racist city and fanbase banner.

Yeah I'm on my high horse, you just a little pony
Racist ass fans celebrating a brother's success, you just a little phony
Celtics are a footnote, Lakers are the headlines
Of course you're mad at lebron since he eliminated you five times
2011,2012, 2015,2017,2018
But I guess one title this century makes you a great team
You'll never be loved, never celebrated by us
Don't think we forgot how you treated Isiah Thomas
Played through injury after his sister passed
And then this franchise threw him in the trash
For some I guess loyalty is a thing of the past
Like Future said it's time to remove the mask.

Holy cringe batman - also if we're bringing up treatment of former players that's topical given the logo just passed away. Stay mad, you lost the race for banner 18 - chin up though little bro maybe you'll get there someday

I know very little about basketball but my instinct told me that I should open this thread nonetheless.

That was a good decision :lol:

The timings of these final games has meant I've not been able to catch a single one really. Seems like a whitewash though.

Reminds me of scouse meltdowns when United overtook their title record.

It's a poor man's version of this post:

You s**t Man Utd should have lost 5-0. Over hyped and over marketed EPL and Man Utd. Over hyped and over marketed EPL and Man Utd. Over hyped and over marketed EPL and Man Utd. I can't believe you believe the s**t they sell you. HAHAHAHA Serie A is the best league in the world. The EPL is a beer league. If you like watching drunken fools run around with no purpose - the long-ball along with kick-and-run football - then you watch the EPL. If you want to watch quality players use there minds and technical skills to beat their opponents then you watch Serie A. You English fans are stupid alcoholics - you just don't any better. It's mindless entertainment - the lowest form of football. English mothers drink when they carry their children and as result you all have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - all retards. The classic argument that you use is that the EPL is the most entertaining. Watching little kids play football is also entertaining, but it doesn't mean it's the best. Most of the best players from countries that actually have good players play in Serie A. This includes countries that actually win at international competitions such as Italy, Brazil, and Argentina (not overrated countries that never win eg. England and Spain - you guys are s**t). This is because the South Americans along with everyone else in the world hate Anglo-Saxons - the people are miserable, the country stinks, the weather is terrible, the food is a disgrace, you have no culture, and the EPL is horrific. Italy World Cups-4 vs. England-1 (fixed). Italy Euro Championships-1 vs. England-0. Italy Under 21 Euro Championships-5 vs. England-0. Total Italy-10 vs. England -1(fixed). England is s**t in more ways than one. Spain's record is even worse. The numbers speak for themselves. Serie A has dominated for 50 years, and now that people are starting to pay attention to that sh** football played on that miserable foggy rock you call England you think you're the best. Finally, if want a measure of the quality of European leagues league then look at the Champions League statistics. Once again, the numbers speak for themselves - Italian teams have been in the final 24 times and English teams have been it 13 times. THE NUMBERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES - YOU GUYS ARE S**T! Italy is the king of FOOTBALL, fashion, art, culture, history, design and architecture, cars, motorcycles, food, wine, luxury items, opera, ballet, etc. Italy has La Dolce Vita. England has the S**t Life. England is the king of nothing - GARBAGE DIRTY PEOPLE. I'VE BEEN IN YOUR HOMES. I know some stupid English person is going to comeback with argument about violence and corruption in Serie A, but don't be so naïve - take it from me - it happens in all leagues, including the EPL. Why do think your keepers are so bad - they take bribes from gangs and officials. HAHAHAHAHA (P.S. get used to this one because I'll cut and paste it until every member of your garbage race sees it).
 
Poor game by the Celtics. Don’t tell me the Mavs are playing good defense and all of that. The Celtics are missing shots that they typically make.

To be down 30 points against this team in your close out game? Shameful.

Poor playoffs overall.
 
Pathetic really, but I’m glad

Now if they lose the next one too it may get interesting

Mine had bars though. This is just a rant. Pretty good one though :lol:
 
Can we have a brief discussion on whether Dallas has a 0% chance because they were 3-0 down or a higher chance because it’s 3-1 now? Anyone knows probabilities well?
 
The probability will be higher now, no expert on any of the teams but could just show it by some simple math with one condition.

Lets say the teams are equal, so there is a 50% chanse to win every game (I know, its never like that, but makes the math easier)
Dalles win 3 games in a row, equals winning 3 50% games, the math is easy: 0,5 x 0,5 x 0,5 = 0,125 = 12,5% chance
When they were down 3-0 it was a 6,25% chance just based on simple math

Nothing on any basketball players or teams here, just some math. Most likely wrong as we can assume Celtics is a bit better based on already winning the first 3 games, and we are not taking home/away into consideration

Oh sarni, can't be tedious and clueless. 1 is max. Obviously most people can do 0, but not possible for either of us. However both is a bit much.

Feel free to be pm me with a snarky reply, but no need to make this thread worse than Celtics and Lakers fans are already doing.

:lol: No hard feelings honestly, was meant to be an innocent joke. It usually makes for an ‘interesting’ discussion. Dallas are done though.

Oh sorry, my bad. Misread it. Didn't think anyone would find it as anything other than tedious anymore :lol:

Most likely (Was going with wenger smiley, but it is ruined)

No worries. :lol:

Think Boston just took a day off and couldn’t be bothered to try once it became clear it was going to be tough to come back. They will win the next one. Would find it super funny if it got to 3-3 though, especially as Boston were on the verge of being the first to come back from 3-0 last year.
 
I feel the game would improve if they went 2 of 3 instead of 4 of 7.

Really boring one sided games this 5 games. Maybe they would put more effort if it's only 3 games. I don't watch Basketball much but this final was pretty boring.
 
Congrats to the Celtics. They were definitely the best team. Having said that, the East was a cake walk and the West was a gauntlet. I don't think the Mavs had a whole lot left by the time it got to the finals.

Maybe Luka will finally decide to get in shape next year :lol:
 
Always feel a bit bored when the Celtics win. Congratulations to them though. Pretty forgettable playoffs overall
 
Pretty meh playoffs. Nuggets Timberwolves felt like the only high quality matchup that also was close.

Happy for the Celtics team to get their ring and their basketball is great. The franchise can go feck itself, here's hoping for another 15+ year drought for them.
 
With the exception of Iggy, Jaylen Brown probably the worst Finals MVP since Paul Pierce in 2008 to be fair. Also read that it's been something like 30+ year since the Finals matchup didn't feature a (present or past) league MVP.

But still, they deserved to win it all this year. Congrats to them.
