I don’t have a dog in this fight but that slippery court condition slide out is not what anybody wants.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

It’s an interesting play if it didn’t hit Ants foot bc most people aren’t aware of this rule.
