Mark Jackson still cheering for Boston huh?

"That's all ball!"

He didn't even touch the ball, it was all hand

If Im MIA, I’m doubting everything I know about playing defense. I’d be afraid to do anything bcuz anythings a foul.

That’d be soooo hard to play through.

God that is gross officiating. How do these officials fall for Smart's constant bs? How do media members fall for it too?

Yeah, I was 55/45 in favor of Miami but watching the refs attempt to hand more wins to Boston I just can't do it. 100% towards Miami for the East and just cheer for the West to win the title this year.

Outside of Tatum, Brown, and Robert Williams the rest of this Boston team is trash who just flops all over the place.

He sold the contact but it was a clear offensive foul based on the current rules. If the defender is willing to fall over, it’s basically impossible to do a power back down in the post.

Tatum coming back in is the least surprising thing.

Just absolutely fking inspiring seeing Celtic after Celtic emerge from the lockered room after near mortal injuries only to come back in the game. Make eleventy Disney movies, put'em all on Oprah (the teevee show).

Must be nice being one of the league's ''chosen teams''.

Its just crazy , Boston is allowed to do anything they want on defense , but on the other end a bunch of soft calls. The free throw disparity is ridiculous !

Brown's dribbling has been a disaster tonight.

At this point a Celtic going to lockerroom is like james brown being led off stage with the cape

No Butler in the 2nd half. Ridiculous FT advantage. And still gonna get an L. That has to sting.

If the Celtics are going to engage in kayfabe, the least they could do is replace Udoka with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
