After watching the video I gonna say top 4 NBA teams of today would beat the crap out of that Celtics team. Thunder and Miami would embarrass them with a sweep and double digits win in every game. That's how athletically dominant they are in comparison to Celtics.

answer my question. if you don't, i'll forever call you a retard.

1. did athletically dominant Heat beat da crap out of spurs last year? spurs have 2 decent athletes.

2. how did argentina beat 04 US team with prime vince carter, young bron, tin duncan, AI and etc? on paper it's a total mismatch. why didn't us team beat friggin argentina with 1 good player by 80 points?

3. how did 40 year old MJ abuse young richard jefferson and dropped 43pts?

4. how did blazers lose to spurs in the 2nd round?

5. how did 80's celtics beat the showtime lakers? showtime lakers had many athletes. balls moved like crazy too.

6. how did 04 pistons with bunch of b level players beat the lakers with prime kobe, 32 year old shaq, and etc. on paper it was a total mismatch. that 04 pistons are not that athletic. they were long and mean, but they weren't elite athletes

7. how did 2006 US team consists of dwight, wade, bron, melo, bosh etc lost to Greece? here is the box score https://www.usab.com/seniormen/2006/06_mwc_box8.html

8. is Dirk a great athlete? how did he dominate the playoffs when he won it all? maybe Larry bird can do the same, but better? because eh, larry bird is much better than dirk?

9. does current top 4 players have bigs to match Mchale, parish, & walton? do you even know mchale, parish, & walton?


answer the damn question. you have no idea how overrated athleticism is. prime mchale tools every damn PF in today's nba offensively. there is not a single soul who can stop mchale. larry bird shoots over anyone and will drop 30 every night. and he will make the ball move too. parish would make a mockery out of soft guys like hibbert. DJ? DJ would be the defensive mvp. dude was like a shut down corner.

if athleticism was the #1 criteria, then spurs shouldn't even be playing right now.

slap yourself silly and call yourself a basketball moron.

ah, the short sighted one. of course westbrook will give you a great game when he is hot. when things go right he will look like a legit top 3 player in the league. he is that talented. but when things go wrong, you can see there is no synergy between KD and westbrook. turnovers, impatience, too many ISO balls. that's not a championship basketball. can westbrook drop 40 every game like MJ and totally take over? maybe he can. westbrook has been the better player than KD in this series. but you will see too many hero balls where he pads he stats, but doesn't make anyone around him better. he is a shooting guard playing the point. he is MJ packed in 6ft 2 ish frame.

This is a team game. from historical point of view, it's better to have 1 dominant scorer. there is only 1 ball and 5 others on the court. when i watch thunder, they can look atrocious time to time. too many ISOs, no ball movement. go ahead and rewatch 2012 against the heat. that was not pretty basketball. westbrook was awesome. what happens thunder beats spurs, but loses to Heat? all hell will break loose. it will be 2012 all over again. there will be a tension. westbrook will give you good, bad, and the ugly. people will scratch their heads and question why westbrook took more shots than the KD.

if they don't win a ring within next 3 years, there will be a nasty divorce between kd/westbrook. if they stick around together then it means they figured out how to play each other and finally came through together.

if thunder don't win it all this year, presti should make that tough decision. if i can trade westbrook for another top 10 PG + low post scorer + bench, i would do it. KD is my star. he is the face of the franchise. and i'll build a right team around him.

put your GM hat on for once. you will be enlightened.

lol

like I'm gonna read any post of yours that is longer than a sentence
 
Pops is so damn smart.

Took out a big. Inserted a 3 pt shooter. Switched Sugar K onto Westbrook. Plugged in Mills. And rotated his guys quickly to run and tire out the benchless Thunder.

It's that kind of ingenuity that's been missing on the Jazz for quite some time. Corbin was just so stubborn to change his lineups. And never adjusted defensively.
 
Nice. Hopefully this *** kicking ends all the Ibaka is going to be the difference in this series talk. 27 point average margin in the 3 Spurs home victories. Just brutal. KD better show up with a 50 point game if the series goes back to San Antonio.

word.

i hope our new coach can adjust in game. guys like corbin don't belong in the nba because they can't adjust. whether their formula works or not, they stick with it and try to force players to be in it. stupidity gets coaches fired.

and bruce lee would say to them -
“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”

A pacers/spurs final would be hysterical. Nobody outside of Indiana or San Antonio (and perhaps KKKarolina jazz) would watch.

....first of off, all I got to say is.....your momma! Number 2: a Spurs vs Heat finals would be great, a Spurs vs. Pacers (a long, long, long, long shot because of the Pacers) would be 4 straight by the Spurs. A Thunder vs. Heat would be entertaining, and I'd be pulling for the Thunder for sure!

...I think your a product of.....evolution! If you think ANY of these modern days clowns would beat those Larry Bird/Magic Johnson championship teams......you have lost your "soft white fuzzy stuff" mind!

...50 might do it....but won't ever happen! Popovich will cook up something to hold him to 35! Westbrook is another story! Spurs just have to figure out a way to out score the Spurs with offensive efficiency and brains either Saturday or back in Texas!

Which one? You asked nine, genius.

1. did athletically dominant Heat beat da crap out of spurs last year? spurs have 2 decent athletes.
Thunder did two years ago. And current Spurs are head and shoulders above Celtics'86 from athletic ability and fitness despite having only two "decent" athletes.

2. how did argentina beat 04 US team with prime vince carter, young bron, tin duncan, AI and etc? on paper it's a total mismatch. why didn't us team beat friggin argentina with 1 good player by 80 points?
Argentina was a team, not a dysfunctional All-Star game assembly. We are comparing seasoned NBA teams here. Apples to oranges, my little friend.

3. how did 40 year old MJ abuse young richard jefferson and dropped 43pts?
Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal. WTF this has anything to do with Celtics'86 being nonathletic and slow?

4. how did blazers lose to spurs in the 2nd round?
By scoring less points in four games.

5. how did 80's celtics beat the showtime lakers? showtime lakers had many athletes. balls moved like crazy too.
By scoring more points in four games. Seriously, showtime Lakers are overrated. Watching them now right after 2014 semis is like watching slo-mo

6. how did 04 pistons with bunch of b level players beat the lakers with prime kobe, 32 year old shaq, and etc. on paper it was a total mismatch. that 04 pistons are not that athletic. they were long and mean, but they weren't elite athletes
Lakers had toxic locker room and injured Malone. The Pistons were as athletic as Lakers. You are delusional if thinking otherwise.

See 2. I am puzzled you are seriously bringing it here when we are talking about NBA teams

8. is Dirk a great athlete? how did he dominate the playoffs when he won it all? maybe Larry bird can do the same, but better? because eh, larry bird is much better than dirk?
3pt shooting and amazing athletes on defense around Dirk allowed him to win it

9. does current top 4 players have bigs to match Mchale, parish, & walton? do you even know mchale, parish, & walton?
Top 4 teams you mean?
Dude, Parish is Splitter with 1 more inch on him. McHale is 20 lbs lighter than Splitter. And we are talking about Spurs who lack rim protector. Get a grip. Those guys from the past are straw-men comparing to nowadays bigs. They will be abused and taken behind the woodshed by Ibaka and alike.
