Well, Cleveland got exiled from the playoffs once again, this time at the hands of the C’s. As much as I despise Boston (90% due to Paul Pierce), I gotta hand it to them for showing that five is greater than one: or none in the case of game five. In the meantime, Tony Allen’s monstrous dunk over Sweet n’ Lo Jamison deserves some burn since it pretty much caps how Boston beat the Lebroners: swiftly, efficiently and, according to some, unexpectedly.
Looking at Allen’s triumphant slam compelled me to drop a few lines on the series and the NBA as a whole. Here it goes.
1. It may seem fashionable to hate on Cleveland but even apologists can’t say anything positive about them now. I said they’d win in seven as I wanted Orlando to drop ‘em in the ECF’s but I’m not making excuses for being wrong. In the meantime J. Tinsley was last found walking the streets aimlessly in a LBJ Swingman jersey drenched in his own tears. Let me take some time out to throw some more Crew members under the bus.
*Pages Patrick M.*
*Does the Elmer Fudd tip toe*
*Runs*
MZ was the only one to pick the Celtics by the way. Leave it to an Ohio native to show us the light.
2. ESPN’s leapfrog into LeBron’s offseason at the moment of the final buzzer was anything but necessary. Someone please tell the folks at Bristol that THE SEASON ISN’T OVER YET! They need to spare me with their free agency agenda in efforts to bailout their projected ratings’ nosedive. Antics like that remind me why I can’t stand watching games on ESPN/ABC let alone stomach SportsCenter’s coverage. Hey David, can we get more NBA on TNT in the playoffs please?
3. Rajon Rondo literally ran Mo Williams out of Cleveland. Likewise, Anthony Paker’s wack attempts to keep up with the raging Rondo only bolster the notion that his sister Candace can beat him in a game of ball.
4. Is it wrong if I want to see VC get a ring? He did Toronto dirty but I wasn’t too upset at his tenure in Jersey. More importantly, he had a good showing in the semi’s despite taking game three off. Dr. Funk may very well crumble under pressure again but I’m quietly rooting for him anyway.
5. The Truth is a Grade-A Boston crab but “C’mon Chris!!” NEVER gets old.
And to think, all of this came from one dunk. Can’t say I’ll fair well without consecutive nights of basketball but I’ll run on standby till Sunday. Wake me up when Mike Brown gets his walking papers.

Eh? What am I supposed to be looking at? Did I miss something?
But anyway yeah Magic will return to the finals, not that I am biased or anything of course.
1. Fuck you Lebron
2. Please Lebron come to my Sixers. You can also take over coaching duties as well.
3. Hopefully the Sixers get the number #1 Pick in the lottery, take John Wall, which will intrigue Lebron, which will in turn intrigue Callipari. And then Iverson comes back.
Then we get the perfect storm in Philadelphia!
Just Sayin’
LMAO. Damn man, I couldn’t even have an authentic on?
Eh? What am I supposed to be looking at?

The surgical removal of Cleavlands soul. It was another emotional boost for the Celts.

DAMN! ( In Kay Slays voice)
Boy I feel like a proud dad right about now. I said it while we were in the Miami series that if the Celtics continue to play team ball like this then I know that we’ll take the Cavs.
Alright Celebration OVER!. Time to focus on Dwight and Co. Once again, I know that we are playing in series that everyone is expecting us to lose in and I will admit, it’s not the 3-1 wins stats that the Magic has had in the regular season that worry me. Not the sweeps that the guys got over a team that had no heart (Hawks) and a team that had to brains (B’cats). Not even that seemingly everyone on the team that name is NOT Dwight Howard is a 3 point threat. No, its the rest and preparation that this team has gotten for the last week. They’ve really been able to start mentally preparing for the Cav’s or Celtics while beating the brakes off Atlanta.
That being said, the focus and the poise that the Celtics have maintained while demolishing the Cavs for the last 3 games in a row, make me once again feel confident that my C’s can come and compete and play the Suns in the NBA Finals. *Shots Fired!*
@CLean HOUSE
How are you gonna cuss out somebody then want him to come to your team? Wow hahaha.
I don’t want Lebron to come to New Jersey. We can only afford one max player and Jersey needs people like Dwyane or (to a much lesser extent) Joe Johnson to strengthen their backcourt and a less expensive 3 like John Salmons or Travis Outlaw. I can’t think of any 4′s that aren’t max players but NJ fresh blood in that spot as well.
Dumping all their money on Lebron wouldn’t be wise in the long run for both parties. He’d make more dough on the Knicks anyway and the (somewhat)inevitable backlash would fall on Jersey’s hands since they’d become Lebron dependent. It’d be Cleveland all over again and I definitely don’t want that. I’d rather have a more balanced squad that can develop into something good than have 1 person do it all.
haha @ “i look like shane mosley”
*I can’t think of any 4’s that aren’t max players now but NJ NEEDS fresh blood in that spot as well.

Fixed
and Tinsley all you get is a crushed Swingman haha. It just looks funnier when you think about it.
@ CBK
“Boy I feel like a proud dad right about now.”
I had to chuckle at this.
As a former ESPN employee they can lick the balls! peace
I ain’t wearing no damn swingman jersey, Sam. I demand an edit (not really lol).
I could sit here and type a thesis about the series, but point blank, the better team won. And to Pat’s credit, he is a Boston fan in every sense of the word. It pained him to pick the Cavs, so he’s still good in my book. I still don’t like Boston, but whatever.
You know youre the truth when you have a triple double and everybody say you had a terrible game!
I am also still a VC supporter
I’m glad someone else is admitting it lol
You know youre the truth when you have a triple double and everybody say you had a terrible game!
—————
Besides having almost a quadruple double due to his 9 turnovers, I don’t think anyones saying he had a bad game. He definitely had a bad series. All the talk now and for the next two days (until the novelty wears off) will be the complete and utter speculation of where LeBron is gonna go. To me, the only thing that ANYONE can be certain on is that it’s not the team so much as it is who else it coming with me. Which ever team can offer him the superstar co-pilot will be the victor that wins these spoils.
All the talk now and for the next two days (until the novelty wears off) will be the complete and utter speculation of where LeBron is gonna go.
=============
Two days? We got months to go lol
I want the Lakers and the Magic to return to the finals….
then I want Orlando to win in 6, just to piss Hedo off for jumping ship.
Then I want Hedo to see what it feels like to play for a sorry team again because I then want Chris Bosh to join Dwayne Wade on a trip to Chicago to talk with Derrick Rose about how cool it is to be a Chicago Bull. :)
I’m gonna jump on the bandwagon that’s jumping off LeBron’s bangwagon
First off, GO GREEN!!! CELTICS BABY!!! They were virtually unstoppable last night and definitely contained Lebron by limiting his drives to the basket, forcing him to shoot perimeter shots & make bad passes. Tony Allen is probably the best player off of the bench, consistently putting up good numbers each game and really hustling on the court. What really pissed me off though was the commentators sounding as if they were the “I LUV LEBRON!” fan-club, talking about his free-agency and his lack of performanec or how “disappointed” they were in him. FUCK OUTTA HERE!!! The next series should be NICE!!!
ps: Anybody watch near the end of the game when Lebron was at the line and the Boston goons were chanting “NEW YORK KNICKS! NEW YORK KNICKS!” LMFAO!!! Had me roooooooling!!!
@ D Howser
(Wade + Bosh) > (LBJ + Amar’e)
Plus it would be cool to see Wade put his home team on again.
Amar’e had that one series vs. the spurs where he went bonkers on Timmy, but besides that I haven’t seen enough out of him to shell out max money for him. Amar’e gets half his points courtesy of Steve Nash, while Bosh is working with his back to the basket every single time. Hitting step-back jumpers, and reverse jams at that.
And yeah, Jamison got put on a poster with that dunk. SMH. Soon as I saw it, I knew the comments section was going to erupt with “yall-not-gonnna-do-a-post-on-that-but-you-do-one-for-Mo-Williams-average-dunk” talk lol.
2-10 for 5 pts. Damn you, Twan. DAMN YOU.
I’m surprised that nobody is talking about Brandon Jennings, that dude can ball!!! He should dip out of Milwaukee and get with an ill team; too much talent to be stuck with an average team.
“yall-not-gonnna-do-a-post-on-that-but-you-do-one-for-Mo-Williams-average-dunk” (c) Cell Block Kid, about 4 post ago lol.

******************
It’ll last a couple days then FIRE UP again after the post season ends in June. Come July, #forgetaboutit , the complete sports coverage will be this mans next move.
We’re all the Orlando fanboys? I need to know which direction to aim crosshair in.
only bolster the notion that his sister Candace can beat him in a game of ball.

and hubby Shelden Williams
- Brandon Jennings is dope, but as a rookie he’s not going anywhere for a few years.
- Never been a Cavs fan, but I think LeBron will stay. Will be happy if he goes so all the bandwagon fans will disappear. If you do go Bron, just make sure you turn of the lights to the city on the way out.
let’s get one thing straight… LEBRON DID HAVE A BAD GAME 6. Once again, people are caught off guard by the fact Lebron puts up huge stat lines. the fact of the matter is that was the worst triple double performance i’ve ever seen (and i’m not even speaking on the fact he had 9 turnovers). People were so quick to point out him as being the greatest on the planet and all along he was more like 3rd or possibly 4th best in league. True basketball heads understand that stats mean nothing in the game of ball. Dude just isn’t ready. Simple as that. No, i’m not saying he isn’t a talent (which some will argue i’m saying) all i’m saying is that he isn’t close to being the best player in the game. Rather he’s probably the greatest talent in the game. Big difference between the two.
@ Flea: Yes, that was the shit! New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets! Dudes were rocking LBJ knicks and nets jerseys with his number “6″ on them right where he was looking every time he stepped to the foul line.
@CBK: I too felt like a proud father! And everyone on the team is definitely older than me! I was watching it at the gym laughing out loud and smiling ten miles wide the entire damned game.
Poor wittle crybaby lebron can go squaredance with shitty mo williams, and mike brown hopefully has the same reaction in his press conference after mo’s first dunk when he is asked to leave.
MISSING PERSON ALERT: LeBron Raymone James, Cleveland, OH – Age 25 D.O.B. 12/30/84. Reported missing 5/11/10. Last seen being taken to school by Rajon Rondo (Boston Celtics). Not heard from since Nike stopped running puppet commercials. James may be in need of serious medical attention for elbow. Any info to find LeBron or his game, contact 1-800-FAKE-MVP.
@ Woody
Not a Cavs or Lebron fan but I do like to keep things it proper perspective. Although stats are not the ‘end all be all’ , to say they mean nothing is not looking at the game realistically. Now I don’t think he had a great game , because he lacked the intangibles you can’t record: heart , perseverance , aggression. Points are not the end all be all to me either but he had 19 boards and 10+ assist. If it were any other player, we would say he had a great game aggression or not. I do agree with you that he’s not ready, and I think he is probably the second best player in the league behind Kobe ( and I LOATHE the Lakers) but the best athlete the game has probably ever seen
It’s the God
Family I loved every single second of it. Even when Lebron hit them back to back 3s late in the 4th I was still grinning because it was ours.
KB24 = NBA’s Best!
R.I.P. Cleveland’s economy.
Also, LeBron will be coming to the Bulls. We’ll know by july 8 (less than 2 months).
Magic in 7, Lakers in 6.
That is all.
@Cell
I understand your point, but maybe what I didn’t get clear is that stats at times only cloud the minds of people into believing something that really isn’t. No question an impressive stat line is the first thing that jumps off the paper, but as in last night game they meant nothing. I don’t think anyone who watched the game said to themselves “wow Lebron is having a monster game”. If anything we (or at least I) was like “what is going on with this dude”. For someone to not watch the game they would automatically figure “Lebron put on a show”. This was my point. Yes, stats mean something but in the grand scheme they really don’t matter.
As far as him being second best, I’d even argue that. That’s another discussion but I have him def top 5.
Best Athlete- without a doubt
Mike Brown FIRED! It aint even BEEN 24hrs!
@ Woody
I feel you on just looking at the stats. Those damn intangibles. Rondo had almost the same stats in the ‘notorious’ game 4 but if you watched those games the degree of effectiveness was on two TOTALLY different plateaus. BTW who you got in the top 5?
Nevermind, the Cavs have denied the claim. But his status is definitely pending…
Yes I should have picked the Celtics. No I don’t care in the least!
Anwawn Jamison got outplayed by the following Celtics bigs in the series:
KG
Sheed
Big Baby
Kevin McHale
Scal
Brent Szabo
As my man was telling me, Brown was fired with 20 seconds left in the game.
Will be happy if he goes so all the bandwagon fans will disappear
===============================================================
I’m pretty sure that’s just about every Cavs fan.
Lakers >
:)
@Cell
Top 5
Kobe #1 w/ a doubt. We could debate on the next 4 and their order but I got
Wade
Howard
D-Will (I know some say Paul but D-Will in my mind just has a better all around game)
Lebron
I don’t think anyone who watched the game said to themselves “wow Lebron is having a monster game”. If anything we (or at least I) was like “what is going on with this dude”
====================================
This was me.
I stared at my TV with a blank stare for 4 quarters.
Not sure if I liked what I saw from Lebron last night.
The effort wasn’t there, regardless of the numbers. He ain’t ready.
The legends of the game were cold blooded assassins. Consumed by the will to win.
I didn’t see that fire in Lebron’s eyes last night cause it wasn’t there
In the meantime J. Tinsley was last found walking the streets aimlessly in a LBJ Swingman jersey drenched in his own tears.
======================================================
*Dead*
*Defibrillated*
*Generator Failure*
*Dead Again*
no doubt Amp.. I think for Lebron to get “there” he needs to eat sleep drink basketball. He also needs to understand to be the best you can’t be liked by everyone. Sometimes you have to be the villian. That is the thing about Kobe. Love him or hate him he could care less. He just wants to win and will do anything to do that. Lebron has to have the same mindset. I think the only player that has won multiple titles that just about everyone liked was Magic. And the thing about it is, we don’t know if he’ll ever have it. The word on sports radio is that Lebron is nothing more than the greatest Robin to ever play the game. Something to think about
@Everyone
LeBron is better than Kobe. And everyone else in the league.
Still a team game. The Celts are going to prove that again this year.
@Patrick M.
NO HE’S NOT! *goes into nerd rage*
Did I just fall into the trap?
Nah but seriously Kobe is still better than Lebron my friend and I don’t like the Lakers either. Cats already broke down the stats vs intangibles argument so that gives me liberty to be brief. But Kobe has the consistent killer instinct Lebron desperately lacks. I’d always pick Kobe to close a game over Lebron because Bryant can SHINE ANY DAY OF THE WEEEEEEEK!(c) Juvenile.
As a Lakers fan this series was odd for me, never in my life did I see myself cheering for the C’s…all the bronbron hype knowing damn well Kobe is still that dude upset me. I like seeing people hop off of bronbrons dick finally, they’ll be back on as soon as he starts winning again though.
FUCK THE LEPRICON DON LEBRON IS THE MVP RAY ALLEN WILL NEVER BE MVP KEVIN GARNETT WILL NEVER BE MVP PAUL PIERCE HELL NO NEVER CLOSEST PERSON TO LEBRON IS KOBE B. OR KEVIN D.
BITCH
CBK: I know you saw how the C’s made the Cav’s quit. I enjoyed watching that almost as much watching Big Baby yelling I Fucked up!!! to KG on the bench. lol!!!
Beating the Magic will be tough but I think the Celtics can do it. As long as Perk and Sheed can keep out of foul trouble, we won’t have to double team Howard. That will help defending the 3 pt. line.
@Sam
Kobe’s got amazing killer instinct…so long as he has Shaq scoring 35-40 points in the first 45 minutes to carry the load.
Go back and look at this stats versus the Celtics in 2008. How could he let a team come back from 30 points down? How could he let his team lose by 39 in the clincher? Where was the killer instinct there?
Ok he’s a great player, I’ll admit it. One of the best ever even if I do hate his ass. And the title last year does put him rarefied company.
But basketball is a team game and is a game of physical talent and production. It’s less about the mental archtypes we retroactively assign and reassign every 24 hours. Remember when KG was a choker? Does he now have a killer instinct? Or does having Rondo, Allen and Pierce on the wings instead of Troy Hudson and Anthony Peeler make a difference?
I’m not going to deny LeBron will probably need to improve his game to win, or say that he’s perfect. He needs to spend the entire summer working on the MJ fadeaway. But if he finds himself a Pippen, he’s winning titles.
@ Patrick
But if you want to play that game how could Lebron drop duds on games 2 and 5? It’s not like the Cavs, as wack as they were, had absolutely no chance against the Celtics. Hell you picked the Cavs to win in 7 remember?
Basketball is a team game and there’s no denying that. And, once again, the Cavs aren’t a balanced team. They would’ve likely lost to Orlando anyway.
But I was talking about how it’s necessary in some cases for stars to take over a game to win. They can do that by being selfish (MJ) or getting other players involved (what do ya know MJ fits here too.) If it’s just about the team then why do we single out stars for not stepping up? With that said Kobe has willed his team to victory on more occasions than Lebron in recent years. So that’s one of the reasons why I think he’s better now. I mean Lebron was trying to run garbage pick and rolls with Varejao in the 4 when it was a two possession game. Explain that one for me since it looked like he was trying to get “the team” involved?
Talent is important but it’s all for nothing without that win or go home mentality. It makes stars better players/leaders and it rubs off on your teammates so they can fill their roles better: just ask Robert Horry, John Paxson or even Kenny Smith. Killer instinct (and the ability to be a jerk to a lesser extent) are key traits shared by all the game’s best players. It’s what separated Patrick Ewing from MJ and Hakeem in the 90s and Kobe from Tmac in the last decade.
The KG example is loaded since the Celtics didn’t really get their act together until the ECFs: especially Ray Allen. Yet Ray got himself together and clinched a critical game for yall in the Finals. Remember how he broke down Vujacic in the closing moments of game 4? If that’s not killer instinct I don’t know what is. It’s necessary in a team game especially down the stretch. All i’ll say is the series would’ve been TOTALLY different Boston lost that one.
And the only problem with your example is we don’t have a modern day star that’s ready to assume the role of Pippen for Lebron. And I’d argue that he needs a much better coach than Mike Brown so he can be better. Until then he’s gonna have to find a squad, become a consistent closer and take his lumps along the way if he can’t get rings.
*if Boston lost that one
and sorry for the novel.
@ Bigga
HAHAHA @ Big Baby. I missed that lol. The Celtics are in rare form right about now so I feel confident about going into this next series. As long as we don’t give up this ‘kill mode’ mentality that we’ve had the entire post season then I’m feeling like we should be getting measure for rings pretty soon.
What the Celtics need to beat the magic:
Stay outta foul trouble- last night Allen, Perkins, Peirce, and Wallace all had 4 fouls in the 3rd quarter. I love the aggressiveness that they’re playing with but we need them on the floor in this series.
Rondo setting the aggressive tone- Although, Nelson is a better defender than Mo Williams, Rondo should really have no problem getting around him and drawing coverage to get easy buckets for the C’s.
Move as one unit- The Magic have more shooters than the Celtics but the C’s have more effective players than the Magic. It everybody sticks to their game then we should be able to grind it out and move on.
And know ya name is just ‘Twan (C) Oshea
I’ll say this as a nuggets fan coaches matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the Nuggets are better than the Jazz but with no coach (no disrespect to A. Dantley) and the nuggets didn’t have that off-court leader so in this case fuck mike brown. One of the worst coaches in history one reason Lebron will never win with the Cavs is because the front-office will never fire Brown ’cause of his “great record”. he plain and simple is not a coach Brown’s “strategy” is give Lebron the ball. Yes LeBron is probably the best player of my generation (I still say D-Wade) but when your game is give a player a ball and win the game it’s well no plan at all. This is my case why M.J. is easily the best player in the world to have ever touched a ball (and don’t look down on his owner-ship seeing as how he lost to my pick to win it all) and how even though it pains me not as good as Kobe. Also it segways to my case that Phil “the zen master” Jackson is highly underrated. Made my case my finals Magic V.S. Suns winner Magic in 7.
The word on sports radio is that Lebron is nothing more than the greatest Robin to ever play the game.
———————-
Isn’t he only 25? lol. He still has A LOT of basketball to play. This lost right here should give him that big slice of Humble Pie that he’s gonna need to take his game to the next level.And then…I’ll probably really start to hate him like a 90′s Knick fan.
oppps On Zen boy Jackson Highly *OVERRATED*
I’ll just sit here & watch it all unfold.
One.
Patrick M. Is the only one who said anything that makes rational sense.
I know I am not the only one who watched him pick up and carry his team to the Finals that year.
But to expect him to be the only one to hold water the entire time is unrealistic at best. NOBODY can. Remember how EVERYBODY was saying the same exact shit about Kobe a few years ago (before he one his fourth title)?
You niggas just WANT to dislike great players. And who told you it was cool to kick a man when he was down? I honestly think most of this LeBron hate comes mostly from the fact that he’s not on your team (and the media, but since when do players have control over what commentators are saying DURING the game?).
To put it plain, it’s a team sport. Not only that, but the team does what it’s coach tells it to. Can we talk about the absolute phantom known as Mo Williams, who didn’t show up at all? Antawn Jamison missed how many shots? And who was asleep at the wheel the WHOLE damn time? Paging Mike Brown.
All I’m sayin’ is, give Bron a break. There’s always next year.
Gotta side with Pat and Satori as well.
Does LeBron have to improve his game? Hell yeah he does. Most notably that mid-range jumpshot and/or post moves. But people attempting to throw dude under the bus and basically crowning him as overrated is amazing to me. And trust, I know I’m biased as hell towards LeBron.
I’ll say it again, the better TEAM won this series. And yeah, LeBron laid an egg in Game 5 but now people (not all) are just throwing Kobe’s name out there like he’s the greatest thing to happen to basketball since the 3 pt line. Kobe’s had his down moments in the playoffs as well in recent memory. Pat brought up the 2008 Finals. And let us not forget the Lakers being up 3-1 against the Suns a few years ago only to lose the series in 7.
I understand Kobe has 4 rings and could very well be getting #5 in a few weeks, but damn, let Bron live. He deserves criticism yes, because everyone is so quick to build him up, so it’s only right. But I promise you, the moment he improves certain assets to his game and gets a RELIABLE #2, things will look a lot different. Interesting fact: the Lakers have won 77% of their games since acquring Pau Gasol. That’s a wingman if I’ve ever heard of one.
Rajon Rondo’s handling of Mo Williams was one of the greatest exposures in the history the NBA playoffs. KG looked like the KG of five years ago the majority of this series against Jamison (Hickson should have gotten more PT, btw). Not to piggyback on what others are saying, but Mike Brown isn’t the guy for that job. Someone needs to push LeBron, not just let him dominate on God-given talents.
One more thing. Stats don’t mean everything, but anytime you have damn near have 30-20-10 game (yes, I know about the 9 TO’s too), questioning his effort just doesn’t seem right. At least to me.
yo J and satori man I am not saying LeBron aint great he’s better than my fav Carmelo but shit next M.J. he aint he dosn’t have that fire that M.J. had in HIGH SCHOOL damn I got hella tired of everyone kinging LeBlowjob LBJ tee hee but back to maturity LeBron is no king he’s like TI claiming king then being dethroened every time a challenge comes up fuck that man LeBron asked for this shit spouting out about his greatness. And if you ask me he has fire lets revisit the hawks game that he walked off the court with yes just 7 seconds left but still time on the clock and lets see oh yah also the time when he went out with an injury and the Cavs had a better record without him hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm LBJ is not a king nae just a jester flying through the air in a white crown
@ Satori, Patrick M., and J. Tinsley
Please clear this up for me.
So if criticism on Lebron’s game is ok when do you cross the line between good ‘ol criticizing and “hating”? Other than the usual cuss words and e-malarkey I see some civil critique on Lebron in here: even from Celtics fans. Maybe it’s b/c I neither like nor hate him. But pointing out faults is fair. Such is especially true when stars before him got better once their deficiencies got exposed. It’s almost as if you don’t think Lebron is the best player in the NBA you’re hating and you need to lay off. I’m not trying to hear that.
And the Kobe comparison was brought up b/c I think he’s the best player NOW. Then cats bring up the “it’s a team game” to totally undermine my point. Everybody who watches ball knows it’s a team game. But that doesn’t mean that the sour points in an individual’s game should be glossed over. And, once again, the kinks can begin to get ironed out with a BETTER head coach at the helm like some already said.
LeBron carried his team to the Finals in the Eastern conference when it was at it’s weakest..and it’s still weak. The Western 7 & 8 seeds, Spurs & OKC, could have a legit shot beating the C’s or Orlando, definitely notthe same can be said vice versa
@ Sam
I’m not coming at anybody for voicing their opinion on LeBron. Hell, he deserves it. Like I said, if he deserves the acclaim that comes from all the good stuff he does, then he deserves it when times aren’t as positive. I’m a fan of dude, but I’ll never get mad at anyone for voicing their logical opinion.
I was mainly speaking to everyone (not just on this site, but everywhere period) who basically coined the dude as overrated, weak and any other adjective that you can associate with being not as good as previously thought.
you love paul pierce.
the internet and all of its conspiracies
well done
