I was asleep during Washington/Celtics but I think that it will be a very close series. Ultimately I give the edge to Boston because the Wizards bench is legit awful.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you (San Antonio is a playoff team even without Kawhi), but this statement is pretty disingenuous. Parker and Ginobili were both below average players this year, and together with Pau, those are 3 well past their prime and fairly weak Hall of Fame players, all of whom will get in due in large part to their international play. If you (rightly) believe those 3 should get into the Hall, then you should include Aldridge in there as well.

What about perennial all star, all nba team, Aldridge? I don't even get the credit Kawhi is getting. like the team has been this for a while. if Kawhi wasn't there, Aldridge would get opportunities and wouldn't get fat and depressed. Femur fucked around with this message at 22:45 on Apr 30, 2017 |

If you (rightly) believe those 3 should get into the Hall, then you should include Aldridge in there as well. Pau (maybe 2nd best Euro in the NBA ever, key player in multiple title teams), Parker (finals MVP), and Ginobili (key player in multiple title teams, MVP in 2 different leagues, won a gold medal on a team that isn't Team USA) have had better international and NBA careers than Aldridge. Ginobili would have been an all star more times if he didn't accept a 6th man role. I'd rather have Prime Ginobili on my team than Prime LMA. Aldridge is a better player now but the point is that team is still stacked and the Thunder aren't anywhere near the depth level. Then you factor in Pop.

Parker and Pau most certainly will not get in based on international play. They were both the second best player on teams that won multiple titles and were in the top five in the league at their position for a decade. Aldridge I can see in the hall and I wouldn't be outright against it, but to say if you put Pau in then Aldridge has to get in too is not true at all. Pau has had a terrific career.

tony led the league one year in points in the paint as a point guard he's going to the HOF because he was loving great manu is also one of the most underrated, best SGs of his era. his numbers, PER, and efficiency are absurd.

i feel like people make weird references to international play for any non american just cause they can, even if its entirely unnecessary for their case. its just something someone chucks out there with 0 thought cause it helps fill in their argument i guessAway all Goats posted:International play is very relevant when you're talking about HOF candidacy for middle of the road guys, if you actually think its meaningful for 3 top tier players at their position for a decade + then you are just being lazy Ghost Dog fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Apr 30, 2017 |

When they say the clippers might blow it up, are they referring to the stadium, the team practice facility, or the entire organization?

I ain't not going to the game because I think it's sold out, I'm m not going cause it costs a hundred fifty bucks to get in the door. Compare ticket prices for the home and away games in the Cleveland and TO series if you wanna laugh.
