50 sats \ 8 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 13 May \ parent \ on: JJ Redick Says the 90s Were "Watered Down"... Is He Right? Stacker_Sports
How were the 90s watered down but the current era isn't watered down when there are even more teams?
That's the question that popped into my head, too.
Teams got to protect eight guys in the expansion drafts, so it's not like the top teams even lost significant playoff contributors in most cases.
When they do the next expansion and Boston has to give up Sam Hauser or whoever, that won't have watered them down significantly.

Just turned on the game. Why isn’t Mitchell playing?
I can’t take the Celtics seriously when they keep playing teams without their best player.

Why isn’t Mitchell playing?
Mitchell got hurt last game near the end of the game, I believe it was a calf strain. He tried to recover enough for this game, but it wasn't enough for him to play.
You guys are spot on. Celtics show that they can easily get rattled when you play physical with them and they seem very emotionally vulnerable.

They’re so talented though. If they manage to put together even one good quarter, they’re pretty hard to beat.

I didn’t catch what the injury was, but he was ruled out earlier today.
Heat w/out Butler, Cavs w/out Mitchell, so far. Just imagine if they go through the beaten up Knicks and then Jokic twists an ankle or something.

You play who is in front of you but given their recent playoff disappointments I was hoping to see if they could actually be the dominant team the regular season suggests or if they fold under pressure during playoffs.

I wouldn't rule out that they fold under pressure anyway.

Do you think the Pacers could beat them?

As we're seeing today, I think anyone can beat them. The trick is to rattle them emotionally. I don't think I've ever seen such an emotionally vulnerable team.
