So they're either going to win or going to lose. Got it.

I was expecting a blowout like Game 2 of the 91' Finals that let everyone know the deal

Not sure if just the 4th quarter counts

They should make Finals tho

Wow, some groundbreaking analysis saying this about a team down 2-1 in a series :lol

I have experience watching professional basketball and therefore recognize things from experience that you can't

Boston is going to the Finals where they have a good chance against Warriors or Suns

I like the pick even but will definitely hold you to this.

So you're basing this off a game 4 in the second round?

I expected Boston to blow the Bucks away in Game 2

Done

I expected it in Game 4 too, but I guess the 4th quarter will have to do

There's some troubling signs statistically that show Boston is wearing the Bucks out

I made a lot of money on this game and Game 2 - the spread was dumb

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Tatum finally looking like the alltime great i thought he was and the all time great he played like when dismantling Durant.

Tatum = Curry
Horford = Draymond
Smart = Iggy
Brown = Klay

They definitely have a shot at a title this year. I favor them to at least get to the finals after tonight.

yeah they miss the mid range assassin and closer Middelton.

Game 2 was actually over by halftime. So now that Celtics only have to win two at home, i feel good for them.

You forgot the Poole party

Warriors will be really tough. Wouldn't surprise me to see them beat the Celtics easier than we anticipate

Right, like claiming Curry was a catch a shoot player :lol Just one of several examples of you not knowing what you're talking about.

It's funny because I have 50k posts or more, yet you can only point to 2 things I was wrong about - Curry, Giannis and the Oubre troll

You guys say that I post about the same thing but you repeatedly post about my 3 mistakes out of 50k

I could point to the thousands of posts you have judging players solely by ppg without any context, ranking Kawhi in your top 10, claiming the likes of JR Smith & Robert Horry > Pippen. Believe me, it goes well beyond your dead wrong takes on Curry & Giannis :lol

His professional basketball acumen went from Curry 1 dimensional player -> top 5 all time within a year!

Giannis overrated bum -> top 5 within a year!

STATISTICAL EVIDENCE


Regular Season

Hornacek (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/hornaje01.html).... 17.7 PER.. 2.9 bpm.. 0.153 ws/48.. 42.1 vorp on 33,964 min.. 15/3/5 on 58.2 ts
Klay (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/thompkl01.html)........,..... 16.4 PER.. 0.7 bpm.. 0.110 ws/48.. 14.4 vorp on 20,380 min.. 19/3/2 on 57.5 ts


Playoffs

Hornacek (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/hornaje01.html).... 16.5 PER.. 3.1 bpm.. 0.145 ws/48.. 14.1 vorp on 4766 min.. 15/4/4 on 57.5 ts
Klay (https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/thompkl01.html).............. 14.4 PER.. 0.7 bpm.. 0.091 ws/48.... 3.1 vorp on 4570 min.. 19/3/2 on 56.0 ts



Comparing Iggy & Pippen as 1st options in Playoffs

Iguodala 2009 Playoffs vs Dwight..... 21.5... 6.3... 6.7... 44.9%... lost in 6 (no kukoc miracle)

Pippen 1994 Playoffs vs Ewing'.......... 21.7... 7.7... 4.7... 40.5%... lost in 7 (kukoc miracle)



CONCLUSION:

Sidekicks with multiple chips like Pippen and Klay are the most overrated player group ever - they perform at an Iggy or Hornacek level (above), but get inflated to top 30 or 50 all-time by the winning spotlight..

That's literally what happens... Check the stats above...

Imagine Iggy and Hornacek being top 50 all-time... Oh wait.. it happened.
due to winning spotlight and organic association with players that changed an era (MJ, Curry).

I can back up all of those things.. Pippen was an Iggy-caliber bum (see previous post) - otoh, you can't support that he's top 30 except to say that Nick Wright (media) says he is...

It's amazing, I haven't missed any of their matches. In addition, I also download the basketball game at APK Mod APKCima (https://apkcima.com/) to my phone to play with my favorite team.
