    Each teams Big Three got numbers
    Boston 74
    Heat 75

    The rest
    Boston 26
    Heat 21

    Maybe embiid is right.
    Robinson is glued to the bench.
    Herro was a zero
    PJ ...well had a PJ special tonite. Still love him though

    Get him outta here. I don't like the nice guy act that allows Wood/KPJ to do as they please.

    First game I've watched in weeks. I hope the Celts can defeat the Sith lord Warriors. It will take a tremendous effort akin to destroying the death star.

    The Heat/Butler played with so much heart but it's hard to have a decent offense with an injured Lowry and Herro.

    Celtics vs Warriors will be a coin flip IMO.

    The Celtics are a great def team and have been the best team in the NBA since mid Jan. They got two excellent player in Tatum and Brown and their versatile switching long athletic defenes will give the Warriors system a ton of problem, much like the grizz did.

    Curry will need to be very good to great for the Warriors to win, because the Celtics are going to shut down a ton of that motion, cutting, screening and off-ball action, forcing the Warriors to play more in isolation.

    Celtics are going to need two of Horford, Smart, Grant & white to make 3 point shots, because the Warriors defense is going to leave them like they left, Bullock, Dimwiddie, DFS, Franky, Powell, etc.

    This Celtics team
    1. Swept Durant and Kyrie of the Nets (who was Vegas' favorite before the season)
    2. Defeats defending champion Bucks in 7 games.
    3. Defeats #1 team in the East in 7 games.

    All because of Rockets legend: Daniel Theis.

    Let's see what Silas can do with his new coaching staff. He has not impressed me so far at all.

    They really have to bring Kobe into everything. Let this man rest.

    you’re liable to get a hot plate of soup to your dome if u don’t handle KPJr with kid gloves

    KPJr the type to commit assault if u move his locker

    KPJr the type to speed off at halftime

    Rockets organization gave no fcks tho and suspended him a measly 1 game

    Heat would have won if they traded for EG.

    Tatum made some absolute buckets. Butler played so well and threw up that brick at the end.

    Go Celtics? Anybody but the Warriors.

    Am I crazy to think Jaylen Brown deserved the MVP over Jason Tatum?

    Then set his ass up with another team if he cant coach the children. I may never forgive Silas for putting Jalen in the corner for half the season. That's not just bad coaching, that's bad common sense.

    but next season will be a fresh start. Im rooting for you silas.

    Just saw a LinkedIn post that stated for the first time half of all NBA coaches are black, so 15 head coaches currently.

    I’ll probably boxscore watch and then tune in during the 4th quarter if the game is close

    didn’t watch a single second of the Mavs-Warriors series, and only watched the last 5 minutes of the 4th in games 6 and 7 for this series…my enthusiasm for these playoffs just hasn’t been there like in year’s past…Idk if the Rockets being trash has just drained me or what

    Jalen Green was the most impressive rookie in the 2nd half of the season under Silas’ watch…he did that
