End of a very good season for the Celtics. Looking forward to what should be a very interesting offseason.

This Warriors team isn't even fun to watch. I can't believe a team actually has two MVPs and 4 all stars in one lineup. This is so lame.
The days of building a team like Red did it are gone, I guess.
This NBA Championship holds no interest for me.
All I hear or see is talk about how Lebron is the greatest player of all time or how if he wins this series he will surpass Jordan and such nonsense. And talk of the Warriors being the greatest team of all time.
All of it is just bullshit designed to get clicks and generate money for those who profit from this industry.
Most old time fans of the game look at this shit and shake their heads.
Pretty soon you all will be watching a real version of Running Man and you won't know how it all came to be.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Not sure I will ever watch a version of Running Man wtf it is. All things change don't they. Kind of like the over emphasis on data collection in baseball for me. About Red - I loved him but I'm a New Englander and a forever Celtics fan. i'm not sure that anyone outside of New England gets to excited about the way Red conducted his BB business. From heat in the visitor's locker rooms to cigars on the bench to helping to re-write the rules on the way players could be drafted. In our estimation, he was always one step ahead for sure.
Running Man is an Arnold Movie. It is worth your time to watch.
Red was a giant prick as well. He yelled profane words at me once at the Garden as I attempted to sit where I should not have been sitting. He was sitting there talking to Don Cheyney's Wife about an hour before a game. I tried to sit down about ten rows in front of them and he erupted "Get the fuck out of there. You don't belong there!"
Lol.

The NBA is a joke. The Warriors added one of the best players in the game, Durant to the best regular season team of all time. The only team that can compete is the Cavaliers. Below the Cavaliers there are a few Western Conference teams that are good teams. The rest of the league and the whole Eastern Conference sans the Cavs are doormats. The league is a joke. Durant is going to pat himself on the back for winning a Championship as a hired gun on an All Star team. Whenever Lebron goes somewhere he brings along with him a core of All Stars. He did it in Miami and in Cleveland. Big whoop.

just caught up on what the Celtics did on draft day, tradng down, getting Tatum and getting another #1 pick in either '18 ( if that pick is between #2-#5) or '19. They still have Nets' '18 #1 pick and I've herd there might be some big men to take in next year's draft. What's the overall feelings on this strategy here on talksox? I'll make it known, I trust Ainge a lot and if he thinks there's not much difference between Fultz, Ball, Tatum, Jackson, etc. and they got who they were going to pick anyway at #1 or #3 and got another future #1 pick down the road, I'm fine with it.
