2018 Celtics were a weaker team than the 89' Cavs or Knicks (that pre-title mj beat)

[3ball]

.
2018 Celtics.... 55 wins... #7 SRS.. 1 all-star.. 3.6 net rating

1989 Cavs........ 57 wins.. #1 SRS.. 3 all-star.. 7.7 net rating
1989 Knicks..... 52 wins.. #8 SRS.. 2 all-star.. 3.7 net rating


It was pre-title Jordan and his sophomore low seed that beat the 89' Cavs, whereas Lebron was a veteran champion with a veteran champion team when he beat the 18' Celtics..

Also, 89' Ewing was a dominant player and vastly superior to anyone on the 18' Celtics..

Is 3ball on the ish payroll?

3ball got his ass handed to him in the other 2018 Cavs thread where his logic leads to the conclusion that peak MJ is inferior to old man LeBron, so he ran to make a new thread asking for another ass whoopin'.

Another rubbish take as usual.

Got his dick chopped off in the Curry thread too. Ran from that one.

Which begs the question..why does he do this to himself and everyone around him

Pippen in 1998 is better than 2018 Kevin Love

Man nobody cares 3ball.

This. It's the same regurgitated threads over and over. Dude is such a loser.

[Derka]

Dude, get a life. You've reached such a low point with these threads. At this point, hours spent jerking off would be a more valuable use of your time than this.

Well they were... The Cavs had two all star talents in their primes with Mark Price and Brad Daugherty, and a young Ron Harper. The Knicks had Pat Ewing and Mark Jackson who were both all stars, along with Charles Oakley a 1st team defense type of guy.

The 2018 Celtics? They had ZERO all stars, and were being led by rookies and "scary" terry rozier. The Celtics started that year off with great promise because they had signed Gordon Hayward and Kyrie, but both succumbed to injury so they were left a shell and joke of a team. Brad Stevens coaching was the only reason they overachieved with the paltry talent they had out there. Both Giannis and Middleton averaged 25+ ppg against them that year in the first round and somehow lost with nobody on Boston even cracking 20. Team effort, but no star talent at the time.

Larry Nance was a 3rd all-star for the Cavs in 89', and he was also all-defense with 3 blocks per game

So those Cavs had a big 3 plus Ron Harper, which gave them the #1 SRS team in the league and a title-contender - Magic called them the Cavs the "team of the 90's" (url=https://www.google.com/amp/s/sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/sunk-history-before-michael-jordan-was-the-goat-he-put-it-all-on-the-line-and-won-big-with-the-shot-213643523.html]here[/url]

Is anyone saying the 2018 Celtics minus Hayward/Kyrie were better than the '89 Cavs, though?

People wonder if Jordan could've carried the 18' Cavs to the Finals

But he already beat 2 teams in 89' that were equal or better!!!!....

and this was pre-title Jordan with a sophomore low seed, whereas lebron was a veteran champion with a veteran team when he beat the 18' Celtics

Pre-title Jordan was already beating teams better than the 18' Cavs with young, low seeds, so champion Jordan would easily win with a veteran team

The OP will be in a lot more pain in 3 months. LeCinco incoming!
