PS Kyrie and Love are coasting too.

You're out of your mind. Kyrie and Love are not even top 10 players in the East. As second and third options, they are very good. They have some huge strengths and i like them both. In this insane and pointless hypothetical, they're gonna be the like, seventh and eighth best guys on the court. The Cavs are in all likelihood about to get walloped by a team that only has 4 all stars, not 12.

Mao and Stalin played in countries of such inflated populations that, adjusted to Hitler's massacre rate, they were barely villainous at all. Also those class traitors had it coming

Nah lol you are seriously under rating them

Edit: I honestly can't stand how stupid this sentiment is. Kyrie and Love BOTH graded out higher than Green and Thompson on WS/48 this year.

To get Kyrie out of the top 10 in the east you have to put him below Derozan, Lowry, Whiteside, probably all three of Wall, Porter, and Beal. I dunno if I'm prepared to go that far.

Yeah I agree with all of those when we consider Derozan's chronic playoff shookness. I would put Kyrie as like the 6th or so best player in the East after LeBron, Butler, Giannis, (a big gap) Wall, Paul George or maaaaybe Lowry

Kyre is like the most ridiculous finisher at the rim in the East and maybe the best scoring guard in isos in the NBA currently. IT gets the Iverson comparisons cause of his height/higher point totals but Irving's handles are the things that really remind me of him.

Its weirdass conversations that make me love this place. We can simultaneously discuss normal rear end poo poo like whether a player is in the top 10, while also making jokes about advanced stats on mass murderers. I cant think of anywhere else on the internet you would ever get poo poo like this


Also, Kyrie is #7 in the east

I'm not gonna stop posting this: Brad Stevens is a god awful coach. A Marcus Smart shot of any kind (especially a 3) is one of the worst possible outcomes of a possession in the entire NBA. I realize he just had a great game, but that's just the law of averages at play. How did 9 of your possessions end with a FG attempt by him tonight?

Only thing you can really learn from these games is what we already know. When Lebron is bad even a gimped Celtics team can provide a challenge.

I still really don't know how the Finals will go.
