    The game was never in hand except for the last minute.
    Also unless the disparity is 10 to 15 more FTs for Milwaukee then the refs were biased pro Boston.

    Who should go to the line for Boston?
    Kyrie who is performing acrobatics to avoid contact ?
    Hayward who has lost so much speed and lift he managed to get blocked by Ilyasova? o_o
    Tatum who just takes a step in for a midrange?

    Or Horford and Baynes who are camping in the 3rd point line to shoot?

    There is no other team in the whole Playoffs that drives in the basket less than Boston so how come they should be shooting the same number of FTs?:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    This thread looks like something that came out of a Celtics forum. I didn't know when clutchfans became a nest of Saltics fans. Disgusting.

    It's an anti-Giannis thread because of Harden. Obviously, the NBA is biased and wants to prop up the semi-anonymous international star playing in a small market instead of promoting the Boston Celtics.

    Harden looking like the Mountain from GoT.

    I now root for Giannis and Milwaukee’s demise...the media caused this just like they did with all the other guys who competed with Harden for MVP

    Giannis’ game is so ugly

    and boring.... its a same damn thing almost every possession...and without officials he goes nowhere, his game is 100% reliant on officials blowing the whistle and staying silent on his offensive fouls bulldozing his way to the rim.

    Every one is telling Kyrie to stop whining about Giannis' fts. When Harden gets 10 fts, it s a problem in the media. Giannis gets 20+ fts and it's "what's your problem?"

    This... I have the same issue with people criticizing Harden's game. The refs aren't just gifting them free-throws for nothing. It's either because they're super aggressive (Giannis), or super crafty (Harden). If you don't want them shooting FTs, don't foul them. You foul them because you can't stop them.

    Agreed. Giannis is doing exactly what he should be doing. Taking it to the basket strong. Harden is doing what he should be doing - using his craftiness to go to the paint.

    It's INSANE how fans **** on Harden for getting to the free throw line. For a player that is not as big as KD, large as Lebron, or athletic as Westbrook, Harden finds ways to be considered in the elite. Shame on them for not appreciating that.

    Splash Mountain has been pretty bad in the Playoffs so far.
