Kemba "better than Kyrie" Walker with 5 points on 2/11 shooting in 52 minutes

[Roundball_Rock]

Nets made the playoffs without him too

The Celtics were in Game 7 of the ECF without him but got crushed in the second round the next year in 5 games with him.

Kemba is such a loser

2018 Cavs = 2019 Bucks

What’s are Celtics excuse? How about losing a valuable playmaker and a 20ppg scorer in Hayward? Celtics are a lot more predictable

Kemba works hard, Kemba does not bring controversy, Kemba works well with the team.

There is no excuses, if they win they win, if they lose, which means they are not good enough as a team. Single Kemba or Hayward out is plain stupid.

Having a mentally unstable and injury prone Kyrie does not carry you far in the playoff anyway. He is gone, Celtics fans had already moved on. Why bring Kyrie back in all Celtics discussion anyway?

Kemba had a poor shooting night last night, that's it. Move on.

He always gets picked on defensively. Tatum doesn't seem to like playing with him. He's basically Irving 2.0 but a worse scorer and not a nutcase.

Giannis bucks were a better team then 2018 cavs though, especially when Brogdon was still around. 2018 cavs were even taken to 7 by Pacers with Oladipo!

2018 Cavs = 2019 Bucks

Irving instead of Kemba and I think they would of already finished off the craptors. Double OT game where both teams kept choking, Irving would of made a clutch shot to seal the win.

That same Bucks team went down convincingly to a 5 seed this year. The Celtics had the opportunity. Most likely, 19' will be remembered as an outlier between making 3 ECF in 4 years or 5 in 7 or whatever the run winds up as (along with any finals or chips along the way).

Butler paired with another borderline superstar and borderline all-star = superteam in playoffs

We saw that last year with 76ers and we are seeing that this year with heat.

The difference is that the Heat had Bam/Crowder/Butler to throw at Giannis to slow him down, and his teammates didn't respond to the challenge (Middleton 4/25 in 4th quarters). Giannis put up 28/11/5 on 62%TS, replacing Kyrie with Kemba doesn't change that, he still dominates them inside. Tatum, Hayward and Rozier were even worse than Irving in the series.

I wouldn't bet against it, Irving wants the ball in crunch time when other guys run away from it.

LOL at thinking Kemba is on Irving's level. Irving is a killer!

Bam also outplayed Giannis in that series. So pair that up with an elite top 7-10 player in Butler, a top 10 PG in Dragic. That's a superteam.

Bucks also got worse in playoffs by losing Brogdon.

I'm sure 2020 heat would crush the 2020 raptors and even hold their own with the 2019 raptors!

2020 heat are like a rich man's version of 2019 76ers because they are built better around Butler.

Yes, the Brogdon loss was huge, I don't see Giannis haters bringing that up and tbh I didn't immediately want to make that excuse either, but they would have done a lot better offensively if you just replaced Bledsoe with Malcolm.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Boston better not lose in the 2nd round again... what's the excuse then? Does Tatum throw a fit & have Kemba traded?

He always gets picked on defensively. Tatum doesn't seem to like playing with him. He's basically Irving 2.0 but a worse scorer and not a nutcase.

Where is this stuff even coming from?

What do the Sixers have to do with the the 19' Celtics vs. the 20' Heat?
