Tatum is having himself a quarter despite the surprise resistance from Cleveland.

Stop trolling and baiting and derailing the thread with your personal arguments and grievances. It's annoying and not allowed. -b

You don’t want a competitive game for entertainment value?

I'm old school and old fashion. I know we have a great team, we had a great season, I actually watched 79 of their 82 games this year. For me I'm just here to enjoy the ride taking each game and series one at a time. We took care of Miami, great, made me happy. Now is all about kicking the Cav's ass. I want to blow the dog snot out of anyone we play. So to answer your question, not really but I will enjoy it either way. I want a total stomping. It has a way of sending future messages.

I thought it was brown who had those issues?

Edit: for the love of **** I’m an idiot, misread that as Jayson.

Te officiating had a surprisingly large impact in that first quarter. Will the calls even out?

Me either, but you can just hit play and then you've seen more white players on the court at the same time. :lol:

If Cleveland is going to give up 37 points per quarter, this game will be over soon.

Got to get stats and info on this. When was the last time there were like 5 white guys on the court at the same time this far into the playoffs in non-garbage time.


1987 according to stat muse


No shot that’s an actual stat you can look up. Is that for real?

Nice to see Tatum focused and playing like this. Game comes too easy for him and he doesn't focus enough.

Marc Davis crew. Every time he refs a team has a meltdown once the game gets out of hand. Personally, I am eagerly anticipating Luka vs Marc Davis crew.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

You said “Tatum is literally dogcrap”.

Wow! You call yourself a Celtics fan? Heck, I’m a bigger C’s fan than you.
