    "Will Danny Ainge pull off some major trades"

    No...but he will ALMOST pull them off and then tell people about it - that's Danny Ainge!

    Boston Celtics aren't the Houston Rockets. The city of Boston and their fans may be like the Utah of the east but their basketball organization is still way better than the one in Houston Texas currently owned by a toolbag and his son.

    *sigh* There's that automatic playoff and second round berth courtesy of the HarGod we used to take for granted. I wonder when we'll ever experience that again...

    I saw Mike James on the Brooklyn roster, and for a moment I thought he was still around . . .

    Harden only had 10 ASTs this game, but I felt like he had at least 5-6 assisted assists. On the PnR, the roller (let's say Joe Harris) would go to the middle of the floor / the FT line, Harden would pass to Harris in which a defender rotates to Harris, creating a 3v2 situation. Harris would then make the correct pass...like a wide open Durant or Irving.

    This Nets offense is bonkers.

    Harden was easily the best player in this series, but that’s none of my business...I don’t even know why I brought that up

    First round down for Jim Harden. Every millstone for Harden not in The H is Bitter sweet

    It would be a pretty good matchup. Kyrie, Lavert, Harris, Durant, Allen against Kemba, Harden, Fournier, Tatum, and Thompson. They both would have decent benches. Brad Stevens might have become a good coach again.

    Stevens was given a shitty hand. Ainge made some bad personnel decisions and Jaylen Brown going out made it even worse. That being said, the Nets still would've beaten Boston. Only so much you can do against 2 and 1/2 superstars.

    Last time tucker guarded harden James dropped a 30 point triple double on him. Tate got a beating to. Harden even bent Dort over in OKC earlier this season
