Why should they be expected to win it without their 3rd option contributing, especially considering how their team is built? OKC doesnt win without Harden making the shot of his life either.
Miami fans are worse. I can tell you from personal experience. They're nothing like Houston fans. I guess I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were saying Houston fans in general were more fair weather. At least having the Texans and being a football city is a better excuse than not being a sports city at all.
Emotional Ray Allen: "When you lose, it always feel like it's it. Last year and year before felt like it was it. Probably the worse feeling in our lives and careers. Nothing you can do about it. One team wins that last game. We want to be that team every year. We've been through a lot. Won a lot of games. Up to this point, we fought hard to keep together. Now...just so many emotions. This one hit me hard. You want it so bad." "We got stagnant. Ball stayed on one side. You'll miss shots but ball stayed on one side, they went on a run and couldn't get that offense going again."
Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixSI Prediction: KG retires, Ray Allen walks (Miami, NY are atop his list, I'm told), Pierce is dangled in a trade.
Hmmm... who the heck is Chris Mannix.. Boston will hang tight to players and trade them in the summer of for picks in the draft... PP and Allen are to players they can roll with next years till the trade deadline ..Rondo will go fast... Garnett is a guess. Boston can't fold him too long... he has to go.. ZZpot.
Not a lot for them to hang tight to. Pierce and Rondo are under contract. KG and Allen are FAs. Most of their bench FAs too. KG may or may not retire. I can't say for certain but seems likely to Ray Allen will be playing somewhere else next year.
I think Toronto or Portland would love to have Garnett... Houston would also take him .. but I have a small hate for the dude and don't want him here as a Rocket... Plus his price does not fit us. Ray Allen could fit here or the Spurs nicely... Dallas could take Granett too... but every unlikely. Portland would take Garnett in a heart beat! ZZpot
I'm going to miss this Celtics team. They had a great run and played with a lot of heart, right until the very end.
Definitely. Very emotional for all of them. Uncertain futures lie ahead. Great run but time/age catches up to everyone. Unfortunate ending for them.
YES..yes ..yes Ray Allen could go anywhere... your are right on the money Rondo will have to go too If Boston is smart.. Garnett will run like hell maybe if he can go to portland or the Spurs.. Portland has some good picks coming up and KG can teach like hell up there. PP... he has to be a trade.. Just not LA or Spurs Or OKC.... the Bulls or Orlando.. or..LOL ... get this... The hornets:grin:
