We have heard this line for nearly 3/4 seasons now and where did the Celtics finish? They have made the conference/ semi finals during this period.
The Sixers/ Bucks are not beating the Celtics with a healthy JB and TimeLord and if they do it most definitely will not be a gentleman sweep.

If the suns win this game AD won't play game 6.

Roland17:
I disagree..

Roland17:
There is a big reason I wanted any other team but the Nets! Tatum pushing through with injuries.. Everyone is just banged up..

Android17:
I hate the NBA refs. They have extended this Wizards vs Sixers series by the wrong call on D Green gifting the Wizards 2 FTs. The flagrant on Westbrook that was not called. Then the 2 FTs given him for a clean steal from the Sixers number 30. Doc Rivers has every reason to be angry. Every reason.

No Boston fan is in denial of our history with racism, we know we are also loud, look and see why..However, racism is a American problem vs a Boston alone problem. The guy that spit on Trey was black, is that considered racist? I think it is important to differentiate individual bad behavior issues from racists behaviors.

Throwing popcorn and bottles are more behavioral than racist when compared to clear racist chants/ comments directed at Morant’s parents.. None of these behaviors are acceptable but raising the temp with racism narratives is just a cheap way to distract the narrative from taking responsibility about your actions. The fans have a right to boo you.. it is nothing new in the NBA..

Stumping the Leprechaun is absolutely unacceptable and regarded an insult to the fans. The fact that no one is speaking about this and now focusing primarily on the idiotic fan that tossed the bottle.
You of all people should know I avoid getting into it with Kyrie but this one is really bad.

Roland17:
Boston fans have been instigating you said? You probably have no idea about the history then.. Kyrie left the team in a difficult situation and after he left he has been negative about the City that protected him and gave him a landing ground. Kyrie is the one that has not handled the smoke..

Roland17:
Kyrie you can’t walk up to the center and intentionally stomp on the leprechaun and not expect a response from the fans! Come on man!! You disrespected the logo and the home fans have a right to get upset about that. You are getting booed because you set the franchise back by your actions and have not handled it well.

I am happy that fan got arrested, it is what I have been advocating for but Kyrie did not carry himself well. His post game action was absolutely unnecessary.

Now the narrative will be about the idiot who threw the bottle and not Kyrie who was absolutely out of line with his actions.

Norman normal.

But I don't think we lost this game because of AD's absence. Although him going down put a dent on their spirit. There's always this despondence that comes when one of your best players gets injured in a game. By the time they realised they were actually not that bad without AD it was already too late.

We'll start game 5 without him and I believe we'll be better prepared.

Looking for my broom here. Did anyone see my broom?

A tree can't make a forest. Dallas role players didn't come to this game. Has the emotions of the playoffs gotten to them? Or is this law of averages coming into play and evening the prior lights out shooting?

Roland17:
Wetin Hardaway Jr chop come this series? Shey Na Dudu Osun him use baff?

SmooshCHN:
The way these teams just fold is just disappointing. Anyways, that's what separates boys from men.

Roland17:
That foul by D. Booker was very dirty and dangerous.. Those sort of plays have no place in the game..

Roland17:
I want to see Zion take more control of the trajectory his career because he does not have the longevity that Ja has because of recurring injuries associated with his size. He has to become more vocal with management about his playing time. He also has to spend a lot of time during the summer to workout and get his body in good shape before the season restarts in October. The sooner he gets the ground rolling, the better for him. He will be entering his 3rd season next year, time flies and waits for no one. He is the more talented player amongst both with the ability to dominate games offensively.

It was larry brown . it was still ugly but very gritty. I remember losing sleep just to watch those games on STV. You could not tell who could win and they were classics

Khanben:
It is just like the last four nba finals IMHO while the games made for good TV, the conclusion was forgone b4 the series started. There was no way the Cav were beating KD and the GSW, the Raptors were given a cake walk as soon as both KD and Klay got injured. As for the 2020 finals it was just laughable people thinking the Heat had any chance especially after Dragic got injured.
I am seriously hoping this years finals give us some pretty even teams like we saw in some of the 2000s finals. I remember the lakers vs Celtics 2x, lakers vs Pistons, Spurs vs Pistons. Those finals were nail biters and were all crazy and enjoyable

Luka Doncic is extremely good and intelligent however his side pieces are balling out and I feel a lot of this is being overlooked. Every time they threw the box-and-one, he simply passed out of it. The receiving end showed a fellow teammate hit a huge 3. They had 50%+ on 3pt FG. My only issue with the Mavs right now is, their wins have depended on great 3pt shooting regardless of Luke's heroics. Which is why it is a problem. If their 3pt shooting dips in say game 3 and Clippers steal 1, they will be reenergerized. I know Skip Bayless has given up on his Clips but I will actually watch out for game 3 where the Mavs could let slip.

Thanos:
I see my mavs have started to put the whole nba on notice. I don't want to hear any more slander concerning doncic not being top 5 atm. And I stand by my prediction towards the end of the season. Both the nets and the lakers are not making the finals!!!

Roland17:
Naaa.. That is not Monty’s D style.. The purpose for the aggression was simply because the Lakers were looking to sort of punk the Suns and send a message but he was having none of it.

Ironically, the Suns rank behind the Lakers in fouls per game committed.. He is aware the Lakers know he has a young and inexperienced postseason team and would want to go at them.

A40:
I also notice say nobody dey talk about Lakers getting 16 more free throws but carry on

Doncic! That boy good
