I would take the Celtics odds if I didn't fully expect this to be an 8 on 5 home cookin' meal tonight.


I rolled my eyes when I saw the refs for tonight. Bunch of doofs haha. But as far as favoring one team or the other, I'm not really sure.

Not very meaningful in the grand scheme of things, cause it also shows that they aren't very good at home. Even the warriors that went 16-1 in the playoffs didn't win that many games on the road lol.


Actually is pretty meaningful because it doesn’t happen very often where you see a team being better m the road than at home in the playoffs.

If Boston wins tonight, they will probably take the finals... they're not the most talented team but they have a far bigger motivation to win

Maybe if the Warriors lose, you have to watch out for a con job (they think they can reel them in later) but it's unlikely it will work, the Celtics are no pushover and they have great players

I think it's pretty wild since I remember in 2018 they were a horrible road team. Goes to show their growth.

The Heat have:

Herro, who looks like a frat boy who's gonna get multiple IG gold diggers pregnant before he turns 25
Lowry, who will flop himself out of existence one day
Haslem, who's a billion years old yet barks like he's still killing it out there on the court
Butler, who has said a lot of cringey tough-guy talk in the past
Morris, whose face should be battered right now because he's deserved several punches through his entire career

The Heat aren't lacking in the punchable face department, in fact they're probably up there on the list :nod:

Also what is it with Celtics fans constantly feeling the need to point out Lowry s flopping. I mean you have **** Smart on your team. Talk about throwing stones in a glasshouse.

I said before the series started that to predict or prognosticate was foolish. Seeing a lot of people predicting a GS win tonite. THey're awake now. Now they're serious. I guess before they were just joshing and sleep-walking. I bet the same people that were predicting and prognosticating then are the same ones doing it again. The bettors, and betting lines, ya. I say slow your roll. Slow it way down.

What is going to happen tonite is GS will make what they feel are the adjustments they feel they need to and THEN lets see how the Celtics respond to THAT. THIS isn't a pivotal or critical game as much as it's the lynch pin game. After GS makes their adjustments and see if they work or not THEN we can proceed to a classic series perhaps.

BUT. Kinda like what they say in a boxing match. What do you do when you hit your opponent with your best punch and they just shake it off? What would GS do if their adjustments don't amount to much difference? This game I feel will decide the series. I also said before it started it'd take game 2-3 to see what shakes out.

After GS makes it adjustments and the Celtics turn "magic" and have a 70pt half or 42pt quarter what's going to be left for GS to adjust then? This game is the hinge game.

And GS better worry about a healthier Timelord. Yes lord.

I don't know. If his minutes are replaced with a 1 armed GP2 it might not be any better.

It is a little strange. Feels like a distraction. Probably should hold off until after finals but that’s just my simple opinion. I guess dubs are good with it so that’s all that matters.

Draymond is Draymond. He likes the podcast thing. It his hobby.

I took warriors.

But, think like this. If Boston is better than GSW…and there is a statistical case tj be made…does it matter?

If Boston loses I expect we'll see plenty of complaining about the refs. Pleasant when they win but if they lose....it's all about how the refs screwed them. :-?
