Could be harmless. Does that creep into guys’ heads when the games matter most because they feel they have something to prove and does that end up hurting the team? Egos can sometimes undo team chemistry.

Both Jaylen and Jayson are on the same page this year. They're sacrificing their numbers and touches to make this team the best it can be. Just the other day, Jaylen was looking at his stats post-game, and complained that he shot too many 3s (8). He said his job is to get into the paint and make the right play. There's a fine balance between aggressive and selfish, and it's refreshing not to have to worry about players being too selfish this year.

Right I don’t know why I forgot his name, but the point is them nikkas was hyperventilating having panic attacks and shyt, doing press conferences in the PLAYOFFS talking about how we supposed to beat leborn

That was a sad ass time in the eastern conference , the drose injury really fukked up a lot of shyt cause them raptors and hawks teams wasn’t on shyt

Pacers the only ones after the bulls to really compete with Lebron once the Celtics core got old

Yea and also, ppl forget this or they're too young to remember but before LeBron's 2010s run of consecutive Finals appearances, it was the '00s Pistons being gassed up for near similar: boasting 7-8 consecutive conference Finals appearances... even tho the comp was mostly trash every year until the ECFs.

In truth, from about 1998'ish through 2018, the east was borderline trash 75-80% of the time. You'd have a couple hot years held down, like 04-06'ish and 10-'12'ish but the rest of the years... the title team may be there but the rest was collectively meh.
