This better get overturned lol

Also random thought but Joe Mazzulla really won the lottery lol 35 year old assistant coach handed the keys to a championship-caliber team through no merit of his own

I can't believe challenges have to be wasted on leg kick outs still

It wasn't a foul and I think that was clear as day.

Tatum gets fouled every time he goes to the hoop and they don't call it so really I think it's just a bias

Don't be that fan. Just accept the refs gave you the game and move on

Even if Cleveland loses this game, there's nothing really to be ashamed of. Yeah it's winnable but doing this without Mitchell and Allen? It's a sign of how capable Cleveland is as a team. I'm curious as to what Mitchell thinks of this.

legit one of the worst officiated games I've seen in awhile. Shameless snow job by refs for the Celtics.

That's an offensive foul on Brown but I'm sure they'll give him 3 free throws or something absurd lmao

Wow what a garbage call. Minimal contact AND Brown kicked out his leg unnaturally.

Nah. 30 points would be a more realistic expectation.

Even that is **** absurd.

Injuries or not.

Plus something everyone seems to love to gloss over the fact that arguably our second most important player in Porzingis is out.

We do not win 64 games without him.


Wow, this guy just put Porzingis as more important than Brown? I can't wait to the Finals so I can bring this quote back up when Porzingis comes up small. He choked with the Mavs in 2021 against Clippers and he's going to do it again. He already did in 2 games out of 4 before he got hurt. The only way he doesn't come up small is if he gets hurt again. :lol:

We get it you hate Porzingis.

I’m not interested in reading your garbage opinion about him 600 times

It has been one-sided the entire game. From start to finish the officials and replay crew have given one team the benefit.

I'm not sure what they saw live. How do you even call that a foul?
