    They're not clutch, and they're not playing hard. Settling, cherry picking, complacent.

    Celtics without Kyrie/Hayward > Celtics with Kyrie/Hayward.

    AD fills up the stat sheet, no doubt about it. But I don't think he's the #1 guy on a contender. I think he's better suited to be the 2nd banana. Him and Harden would be amazing.

    The Celtics wouldn't have gotten out of the first round in the West, and I'm still of the belief Utah is better than Portland,Denver and Boston.

    Boston is a joke, they’ve been a joke all season...I believed Indy would’ve beaten them in 6 if they had Dipo, and I’ve seen nothing from them in this series to believe otherwise

    Should Boston even want Kyrie to stay? He’s obviously talented and very good, but he’s a trash leader and his impact is overrated. Hayward was a flop signing. Tatum doesn’t look as impressive as he was his rookie year.

    I hope Boston isn’t thinking about trading for AD if Kyrie leaves because AD would bounce for sure. Actually, scratch that, I do.

    tired of hearing about Boston’s assets...let them go and waste whatever they have left on a rental

    Boston is better without Kyrie. Even Isaiah Thomas did a better job of leading this team than him.

    Bucks are playing with fire. Boston is again playing like trash but instead of shutting the door to them they allow them to be in the game and Smart flopping around. I wouldn't be surprised if the Celtics stole this one away in the end.

    Also LMAO again at Kyrie. Not even tonight he hasn't shown up..Who cares tho

    That's why I hate the Saltics.
    Propaganda and media hype everywhere.
    I'm tired of hearing how deep they are, how many assets they have, how good Stevens is.
    Anyother team even the Lakers with the same players they wouldn't be advertised as a contender.

    Who had their stock fall the most in these playoffs? I think Kyrie is definitely up there.
    Kyrie, Westbrook, Ben Simmons and Embiid.

    Westbrook isn't on that list. His stock was already falling.

    The other three...man. That's tough lol.

    Both teams have stopped defending now. 3 more minutes like that and Kyrie will ask to get subed out.

    Celtics have their issues for sure, but the Bucks really are scary good.

    Last year I had no issue saying the Rockets would have beaten the Cavs for the title. The Bucks will be a much tougher out.

    with such defence why are the Celtics starters still on the court? Put in some scrubs. Embarassing to defend like that with a whole quarter remaining. They were one of the top defences in the league.

    out of these 4, I’d say Ben Simmons

    I never thought highly of him, but a lot of people do...he’s a huge liability, and if I’m Philly I’d rather trade him for better fitting pieces around Embiid than give him a max contract without question

    the odds that his jumper goes from nonexistent to just sh*tty are quite low, and the odds that it reaches a decent level would require miracles...he should be ashamed of himself for coming into the league with a jumper that trash

    he destroys their spacing and makes it hard to build a team

    Russ is in obvious decline, but he pretty much did what he’s been doing since KD left

    Kyrie has struggled, but he’s usually an excellent playoff performer

    Embiid has had some great games, but he’s always dealing with some ailment
