Embiid is insane.
Re: NBA Playoffs 2019
A healthy Joel Embiid is the most valuable player in the NBA.

And his teammates are focused on the special teammate they have in their midst.
As Jimmy Butler left the locker room late Thursday night wearing a pair of cutoff jeans, Air Jordans and a black tank top, Embiid quipped, "Who let you out of the house like that?"
Butler replied without missing a beat.
"When you're rocking with the best team and you got the best player in the world," he said, "you can wear whatever you want."

That’s exactly what it seemed like. Turned around like someone stepped on his heel. No bueno

It wasn’t like a nasty looking play or anything. He comes down off a made jumper, takes a couple steps back down court, then awkwardly stops and freaks out.
They just now reported a calf sprain.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2019
I admire him for taking rightful accountability. Is he over rated as a coach?

Re: NBA Playoffs 2019
I think the Celtics let him go and more than half of the NBA franchises would have interest.
You can decide from that if it's because he's overrated.
I'll tell you what though - Budenholzer is underrated -- Brook Lopez AND Giannis sharing the court?

Re: NBA Playoffs 2019
You could be right.
I'm wondering if the Bucks won game 7 last season and after Steven's debacle this season, if the Celtics would have shown him the door.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2019
"Overrated" carries such a negative connotation. But, it does not have to.
I've said for a year or so now that Stevens gets a disproportionate amount of praise.
Doesn't mean he's not good. He just doesn't walk on water like Illy suggests.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2019
Remember when the Celtics were going to dominate the East for a decade?
Re: NBA Playoffs 2019
Couple things:
1. Kyrie shot his way out of the series - he was 25-83 from the field in his last 4 games.
2. Gordon Hayward never recovered from his injury. He isn't a good player anymore.

Re: NBA Playoffs 2019
That fell apart rather quickly. Tough luck with injuries and I'm not sure why Kyrie turned so moody and developed such of a 'me' first attitude.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 12:04 pm Remember when the Celtics were going to dominate the East for a decade?

Re: NBA Playoffs 2019
It's not just injuries, though, right? The hype started before the Hayward signing. And, obviously Kyrie is very hate-able.holidaysmore wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 12:52 pmThat fell apart rather quickly.

I think it kind of comes down to that in the NBA, you can have a horde of lotto picks, a good coach, a savvy GM, but you'd still rather be lucky and get a guy like Giannis, Embiid, or buy a guy like KD, Harden, Kawhi.
They hype was premature. There's no way you can look today and like the C's future more than at least 2 other franchises in just the East.
