Eastside Atl -
But Tristan's with Bron though and probably will be until Bron leaves/retires.

Who you putting next to Al that's gonna stop him from doing stuff like averaging 12/4 in the ECF?

Paul George is one and maybe Jimmy Butler. It's all speculation and I understand the hate but him coming up short one series from the Finals is not a knock for the type of player he is. He's still an all star talent even if he's not a HOF carry a team type of player.

Horford made a mistake going to Boston. Their not going nowhere, their flexibility is limited. I don't even think Hayward is going there, Miami is a better overall fit. They need a true center and a two way SF to guard LeBron. That said Thomas, Bradley and Horford is a good nucleus. But they need a two way star and a center. Personally Brook Lopez would be a good addition.

Can't agree with this.

Boston, to the contrary, actually has a lot of flexibility for personnel moves. The #1 draft pick and cap space ensures that. And most of the better players on the team are on team-friendly contracts.

I don't know why people continue to shyt on Horford and his contract.

He's never gonna be a 20/10 guy but his offensively skill set makes everybody around him.

His lack of rebounding is part of the system with his rim protection along with playing alongside the perimeter and getting back on defense.

Celtics fans are mostly estatic with what he's done so why do people that clearly just look at box score continue to think their opinion matters?

Horford for the max isn't that bad. Everyone obviously knows you don't want him as the best player on your team but most teams can fit 2-3 max salaries. Horford to me is a perfect 3rd option that you don't depend on for scoring which allows the other parts of his game to flourish.

If yall ever get over the hump that El Clapìtan will not be on that squad.

I understand from the perspective of you as a fan but I don't think Boston situation is that good. Fultz is three years away from stardom. Thomas, Crowder and Bradley are expiring. Boston is close to having an Utah issue for their current future. Thr future is bright as a fan but not as a contender if you get what I mean

Also; you're a hawks fan.

I am a Basketball fan before I am a Hawks fan.

Thomas and Bradley are both due for major raises and I didn't see you say this the first time or anytime. I don't live in on the this subforum like you

Of course the ATL
You got 8 points and 3 rebounds from your best player (with IT being out) at home in a close out game and yet you got Celtics fans are excited over the possibilities of 10.4 ppg, 4.2 rebounds and 0.4 blocks a game in the ECF at max money? :dwillhuh:

Like we said, it's a bad contract for a player with a limited skill set. He can occasionally make a jump shot, passes the ball well and that's about it. His rebounding for a big man is laughable. Defense overrated. If El Clappõ is your 2nd best player you're not winning shyt
