Boston is also the youngest team in the nba. I really think that youth is killing them. Kemba is 30, Wannamaker is 32. Everyone else is a young player. Hayward is 29.

Celtics were the more talented team, but Miami was more mentally tough. They grinded out all the games in the 4th.

East will be much tougher next year too. Looks like the Cs blew a really good chance.

Maybe but I'd say Boston was more experienced in the playoffs. Their core has made several deep runs. Most of Miami's players were never in the ECF. Many were in the playoffs for the first time.

Lol. The ceiling and widow of Boston is so wide right now.

Those IT teams were a motley crew that played real well and maximized their talent with energy and execution.

This Celtics team still finding its way.

What series u watching?

Bam’s good. Helps that the only guy who could guard him, Grant Williams, never played.

I like Bam a lot, but Boston’s defensive construction was a joke at times .

Hayward has to go. He is no longer a championship caliber player.

I get that you both are coming from a positive place, so respect.

I personally don't have a problem with it because there shouldn't be shame attached to being poor. I grew up on welfare, I now have a good job, and I tell people with pride where I came from. It helps to erase the stigma.

I'm guessing Bam is doing the same thing by keeping a picture of the trailer in his locker and discussing it with the media. He's proud of his background, as he should be.

When Jimmy talks does it remind anyone else of Mike Tyson?

Not hating, just observing.
