2024 NBA Playoffs: East Semifinals: #1 Boston Celtics vs #4 Cleveland Cavaliers (BOS WINS 4-1)

[KamikazeK]

Read on Twitter

I think Knicks fans already said it. Not in the arena, but outside the arena. So they're up next. Sorry pacers, but they called dibs.

[celtxman]

Yeah wtf was that lol

Al has always been passionate.

How dare he

Were joking around…stop being so sensitive

If you watch Horford every day he doesn't usually act like that in a decided game. Pretty sure it was because he struggled so badly (0/10) in threes before today a d it meant a lot personally.

[RAPSinCAPS]

Unfortunately Cleveland never had a chance with Mitchell and Allen tapping out.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Draymond be like: I don't know why people think I'm a hater then proceeds to make a hater statement moments later.

I think hater is somewhat of a misnomer. More like petty buffoon.

No, those were literally his words.

He said that people thinks he's a hater and then wonders why as he opens his mouth.

Just like with his on court dirty play, he’s just completely delusional about himself and unlike a normal person cannot grasp what rubs people the wrong way.

[GrandTheftRondo]

I hate all Boston teams but I really like Horford and don't get the hate. This is a guy who had to completely reinvent his game from his Florida days and did it. This is a guy without HOF talent who finds a way to be a major contributor to an elite club. That's impressive.

37 years old and putting up 22 and 15.

Pretty impressive

Yup and it is even more impressive if you're old enough to remember Atlanta Al. If I told anyone back then he'd still be a good defender today, they'd be surprised but it wouldn't be shocking. If you told anyone back then he'd be an elite 3 point bomber, everyone would have laughed. That transformation is super impressive and demonstrates a real work ethic and maturity.

He also looked toast after he left us and went to Philly.

OKC revitalised his career, teaching him how to defend in the new NBA.

IDK, I don't really think his questions were hater-ish. He just expressed an opinion about Horford in the PNR and asked Tatum how they'd handle it. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're referring to.

I prefer tougher questions for the players in these after-game interviews, and the TNT crew in general usually delivers them. I like that. Tatum handled it well.

[UNCBlue012]

This Celtics team will definitely only win one game vs the West Champion

The trolling has to end lmao

Came off very brash and lacking any sort of nuance.

There’s a way to ask that question without sounding like he did.

As people have been saying he just comes off like some Twitter hater with everything he says on the show

I'm not in the business of targeting users. Read through the thread.

Also don't take it so literal friend. Only the delusional thought the Cavs could win this series. Healthy or otherwise.

Just good nature fun to make fun of those who went so hard on the take know seeing how the series unfolded.

I have been reading this thread, and I have no clue who you're trying to troll here.

You haven't because I already had a back and forth with someone over the Cavs healthy and their ability to push this to the bring if healthy.

Push to the brink is not would have won, but yeah I've been trying hard to ignore your inane back and forths with people who are not regular Cavs fans on RGM.

Just enjoy the show. The Celtics gave you one.

I do when my team shows some heart, and they did.

You might follow your own advice, though, or not ... best of luck trolling Knicks/Pacers fans?

Some heart? Heart doesn't put food on your table.

Celtics in 5.

When he speaks he looks everywhere except the camera. Often turns straight to Ernie and that's a sign of deferment. He hams it up but I think he's just compensating because he's uncomfortable.

[brackdan70]

This series made my brain hurt. The combination of the Celtics' horrible stand still offense, and the Cavs having to feature the corpse of Marcus Morris in a close out game was pure torture.

That corpse had a damn good game tonight

[axeman23]

Marcus Morris playing out of his mind.

Yeah, Morris played himself to another year in the league, I'd say. You could do much worse for a supposed-to-be end of bencher...

[jkvonny]

Good season for the Cavs. Injuries and shorthanded, gritty bunch.

Congrats to the Celtics, another ECFs appearance.

Awaiting the Pacers/Knicks winner.

[titlebound1]

Loved the defensive intensity from the cavs. Lots of respect, Cleveland

[B_Creamy]

Good game good series Cavs fans! Your guys were very resilient and did a great job making it tough despite the injuries. Marcus Morris was driving me insane lol. Cheers.

Quick question: Is Porzingas close to coming back? Have there been any updates?

[axeman23]

Draymond has a face for the radio and a voice for sign language

[axeman23]

Well played, Celts. And good luck moving forward, Celts fans. with a few obvious exceptions, most of the chat here was well-intentioned banter, which I enjoyed...
