No Jarrett Allen and Dean Wade against the C's is tough, even without KP.

This is going to look pretty ugly. It seems like if we dont get anything from Mobley or Garland they're just going to get blown out or Mitchell does everything yet again.

I heard JBB has signed a 5 year extension. They're just waiting for the playoffs to end to announce.

If Nuggets lose, I'm rooting for the Celtics to win the whole thing.

Doesn’t matter , this series is pointless and lob sided so much that if it never happened and you just award Boston with 4 wins it would be ok

Putting Garland, Merrill, and Morris in the same unit against the 1 seed is just criminal. He's had three months to figure out offense/defense balance in his rotations.

I don't remember Cavs defense being this bad but I guess that's what it look like when the opposing team actually have shooters.

Watching Nugs vs Wolves compared to this feels like going from NBA to D3 lol it looks like two teams coasting.

And of course the Celtics bring White back in the moment Garland hits the floor because their coach doesn't play with blocks.

Joe Mazzulla kind of gives me the creeps. Something definitely off about that guy.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Who'd have predicted Isaac Okoro would be a flamethrower and Evan Mobley would be an offensive zero.
