The amount of late whistles in this game on both sides. These refs really lack conviction.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

You're telling Darius Garland can't cook Al Horford in 2024?

Celtics really struggling with the garland/Mobley pick and roll. That should be an auto switch

Probably his last game on an NBA court and he knows it.

Really playing like a 10 day just given the green light. I'm just shocked at what I'm witnessing.

Dare I say, Cs are far too cavalier in a closeout game.

Honestly, it's depressing watching this Cavs team. Old man Horford is the best player in court right now. Cavs best player is a retired Marcus Morris.

Is there any update on Porzingas starting to ramp up or are they just going to go day to day in the next round? The Knicks will give this team trouble if he isn’t back.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

I know, dude was hesitating so much. He finally got some confidence in his game.


I still think Donovan Mitchell creates a team with a high floor, but his play despite being so individually impressive, limits your team’s ceiling. Case in point Mobley without Don was seen as a young blossoming star. Mobley with Don completely flatlined and was killed last series by fans. Mitchell goes out with injury, Mobley’s producing again.

Garland is just pounding the ball at this point.

Did Horford listen into Draymond at half time? He's been shutting down Garland this half.

If only Morris took all of Garland's shots.

Good series Celtics fans.

I think this was huge for Mobleys development. I probably explore a Garland trade this off season to see what's out there, but wouldn't be mad at running it back.

I'm not trading Mitchell even if he doesn't extend - I think with better injury luck and a step forward for Mobley, we can contend next year
