Both he and Rondo are like the exact same person. Only Rondo was a rookie and grew up with KG Pierce and all of them so he feels a connection with them all.

I see what you are saying and yes in reality injuries, old age, and an inability to improve the roster caught up with them. But going off of their first season I think we all expected more from the Big 3. And I bet you KG, Paul Pierce, Big Baby, Rondo, and Perk would all agree and Ray Allen is a convenient scapegoat for why they didn't win more.

It doesn't seem like they blame him so much as just hurt the way it ended. Edit: Besides Rondo who clearly hates that motherfucker.

They would probably have repeated in 2009 if Garnett hadn't hurt his knee. Certainly they were the favorites, they won 62 games and had a 7.44 SRS even though he only played 57 games and several of them were after the injury and he was useless. If he's healthy for the playoffs they definitely beat Orlando and Cleveland and probably the Lakers - a much worse version of the team took them to 7 the next year.

This is pretty sad on multiple levels, not angry sad but sad sad. What's there to gain to socially isolate yourself like this

Libertine posted:It's by far the best run of all-time in rap music. Nostalgic arguments about GOAT in rap are just as bad as ones in the NBA. Early 90s rappers are the 60s Celtics of rap GOAT discussions. In this analogy, is Illmatic the Wilt Chamberlain in that it would still dominate today?

Lmao Sorry someone couldnt live up to literally one of the best albums made of all time. It was Written, Stillmatic, and Life is Good are really really good projects. Maybe not MVP level but very much All-NBA second or third team type albums.

I was gonna say Macklemore is the Derrick Rose in that his MVP is universally understood to be undeserved. Maybe Steve Nash is a better comp.

C'mon, you think Biggie and Em could sell 10 million against modern streaming services and file sharing networks? No way, and they didn't train YouTube mixtapes back then so they'd have no way to adjust

Nas and Lupe have the same problem. Inability to pick beats. Rick Ross is the Robert Horry of rap. Good at picking beats/team and floating with that beat to a good outcome. Not good unless he's on a good team Lupe is Rondo, abrasive hates his coach/company but when he wants to actually go in he can put together a masterpiece like Tetsuo and Youth still.

Declan MacManus posted:Illmatic aged really badly and is pretty homophobic 1. No it hasn't. Illmatic is still good with amazing production. 2. Please find me the rap before like 2010 that wasn't homophobic as gently caress Yes Takeover is better than Ether as an actual music composition. When Ether first dropped though it was loving insane though. Like even Jay-z's crew at the time was like yeah. Nas roasted us. Like as something I want to listen to for music it would be Takeover. If Takeover was a knife stabbing you. Ether was a sledgehammer just relentlessly going at you. Less elegant, but satisfying all the same.

Essentially, Takeover is James Harden, Ether is Russel Westbrook. Like theres a reason people use ethered when referring to a rap diss track. Dexo fucked around with this message at 19:04 on May 9, 2017 |
