@RiggedInsider@paulieknep Yes….McHale did eventually supplant Maxwell as the starter but let’s not downplay the fact that in the Larry Bird Era, Cedric Maxwell played pivotal roles in 2 of the 3 championships. Let’s not pretend Max was better insignificant to those efforts.
@RiggedInsider@paulieknep Fundamentally the key is to have good players in the first place. How was Iverson supposed to make marginal one dimensional players “ better “? The fact that he got to a Finals with that team should have cemented his HOF credentials.
@RiggedInsider@paulieknep You’re confusing Cedric Maxwell with M.L. Carr. Carr was the towel waiver. You sleep on Max but he was named Finals MVP in 1981 and put the Celts on his back in Game 7 of the 84 Finals.
@RiggedInsider@paulieknep Actually they weren���t. Archibalds biggest problem was recovering from an Achilles injury in 1977. Both Archibald and Cowens were accomplished and decorated NBA players BEFORE the world heard of Larry Bird.
@RiggedInsider@paulieknep And let’s not even mention Magic’s opening night roster for his first NBA game: Kareem Abdul-Jabari, Norman Nixon, Jamaal Wilkes and Micheal Cooper? C’mon.
@RiggedInsider@paulieknep Very simple both Bird and Magic were in the league when Jordan won his championships. If you recall his Bulls beat Magic’s Lakers 4 - 1 in 1991.
@DanFriedman81 So Brandon Johnson is the one who created problems decades in the making while in office just 3 years .
The state and the city needs to come up with some comprehensive changes. I dont expect it before the election but its something they should be selling for re-election
@Peter_Bukowski Actually we know this isn’t repeatable. Now it’s up to Ben Johnson to pivot and get that run game going and the defense solidified. Next year will have a far different approach than this year.
