Winning the NBA Championship is like climbing Mt. Everest.

You think you are ready enough and hungry enough and that you have the right stuff to make it to the top.
Most don't on the first or even the second try.
It turns out to be a lot harder than expected and you don't find that out until you are there in the moment.
The only Celtic that I am sure is ready, who has more than paid his dues, is Big Al.... and the circumstances beyond his control may not allow him to reach the summit.
But keep climbing fellas... and keep learning what it will take to make it to the top.
Chances of making it to the top are long on your first climb.... but you never, ever know if/when the weather might break, the stars fortuitously align... and you are right there at the top.
And who knew what a climbing season it would be or has been!

good post, but for the first time it sounds like your coming off your Celtics in 6 prediction?

In others news. Uncle Tom as his fat assed white slut needs to be sent to the Gulag. Ginni Thomas emailed 29 Arizona GOP lawmakers urging them to overturn the election: 'We need you to exercise that power now' you left out the last line of her email: "please consider what will happen to the nation we all love if you do not stand up and lead." Based on the current status of our great country, I would suggest she is psychic! PS Why the insults and name calling towards the Justice and his wife? Just because you don't agree with her? What happened to civil discord? Don't look now but you are acting like the type of person you normally preach against, intolerant! PPS Save the political BS for after the Finals!

I don’t understand why these reporters don’t ask tough questions. I wanna ask Tatum how is it that in the biggest game of his career, he can only convert two baskets in the 2nd half. I want to know why he lacks the aggressiveness that is required to lead his team in the 4th quarter like Curry does for GSW. Apples to Oranges. This is not the same Curry from HIS first Finals. This is the difference experience yields. On top of that he is the MOST SKILLED OFFENSIVE PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY. Not apples to oranges. When you have struggled and, at times in these playoffs, totally disappeared late in games, this isn't a "lack of Finals experience" issue. Tatum has disappeared like this against MIL and MIA so I don't see the significance of this being the Finals. We weren't saying this when he was dropping 40 on teams. Plus, Tatum is a top five (All NBA) or six (All NBA votes) player in the NBA. Not shooting for the final 3:25 of a pivotal game 4 at home that puts the Celtics up 3-1 in The Finals cannot be dismissed as experience. This points more to mentality than anything, a lack of mental toughness. Unless something is seriously wrong with his shoulder than he's letting on. By contrast, Jaylen Brown went 3 for 7 in the 4th quarter. At least he showed some aggressiveness although the results weren't great. As for your last statement, I think claiming Curry as the most skilled offensive player in NBA history is very debatable. He's the best pure shooter in the NBA, not sure that makes him the most skilled offensive player in the history of the game. But that isn't the point of my post.

He's the best pure shooter in the NBA, not sure that makes him the most skilled offensive player in the history of the game. But that isn't the point of my post. I'm very aware that Smarcus spends considerable time trying to coach JT up thru his public statements, letting JT know that the team is there to support him and how much the team depends on him for leadership and scoring.
It is pretty obvious from the words of encouragement that Smart provides that JT is still a very young, shaky 24 year old made of star stuff, looking for consistency in his game and support from his teammates as he tries to handle the pressures needed to hang the banners that we all yearn for while creating yet another Celtic dynasty.
This PO run is an invaluable, learning experience for a Celtic franchise on the rise!
And you know what they say about the potential reward for seeking out and handling this sort of immense playoff pressure....
Go Jayson Tee and go Celtics!

I'm sure Dee would be interested to know you've spent time in WV. He knows...I am fairly certain that I have mentioned this before here...and we have had conversations beyond this board...never know when you need friends in 'high' places...pun intended.... Lived in a farmhouse there, outhouse...toilet seat was kept near the fire so it was warm...mid eighties... Great car mechanics/body shop guys...saw them wreck, fix, repaint a car in the same weekend...they all looked like members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, just like me...but somehow everyone knew I was not local when I walked into a bar with them...bars were not really bars, but houses back off the road a bit...everyone was Billy, Bobby, even Keithy, swear to gawd... Wife and I went to a party one night, woke up during a police raid at dawn...evidently our buddy was growing some of the magic plant, had no idea...police suggested we leave town...which we did, we were about to anyways, had bought a van from one of our friends there...

Thunder just took Jamychael Green off denver's hands. The picks swapped seemed pretty marginal. The thunder must have thought they could flip green for close to the value of his salary. I wouldn't be shocked to see him here.

I wouldn't be shocked to see him here. Looks like Denver got a first Nuggets trade JaMychal Green to Oklahoma City Adrian Wojnarowski: ESPN Sources: Denver is trading F JaMychal Green and a protected 2027 first-round pick to Oklahoma City for the No. 30 pick in this month’s NBA Draft and two future second-round picks. Nuggets have No. 21 and 30 in this draft now and Thunder has Nos. 2, 12 and 34. 6 hours ago – via Twitter wojespn JaMychal Green expected to exercise 2022-23 player option Adrian Wojnarowski: JaMychal Green is expected to exercise his $8.2M contract for 2022-2023. Deal gives Nuggets flexibility to use a $6.4M tax mid-level exception or an $8.2M trade exception in offseason. Nuggets expect to be a tax-paying team. Thunder have $31M in cap space to absorb Green salary. 6 hours ago – via Twitter I would be AMAZED if Green ends up in Boston, at least this Green!
