Skip Bayless:

“I’m getting sick and tired of the Boston Celtics,” Bayless lamented on FOX Sports 1. “I’ve seen enough. They’re overrated. They got exposed in Game 3 and exposed in Game 4 for what they were. They were the 18th ranked offense in the entire NBA and that was with Kyrie Irving. ” … They just don’t have enough firepower. Cleveland now leads this series 2-2. … They are in control of this series, they’re going to win game 5, they’re going to win Game 6. It is ov-ah. (The Celtics) have been put back in their places.”

Oh. Good thing we were put back in our places. I'd hate to see what we would have done to the Cavs tonight if we weren't.

Sucks that Kyrie Irving is not playing.

Look at this lebron apologist. He's also wrong since Horford had more rebounds and Rozier had more assists...

Lebron, IMO, didn't even have the best overall stat line of the night, given his 6 TOs vs. Tatum's 2.

Seems like he could have just been messing with everyone.

The kid is coming for you Kareem

If the Cs win this series, Tatum is basically a lock to take over the record.

That said, Alcindor averaging 35.2 ppg in the postseason as a rookie is mind-boggling.

He’s one of the best ever lol and has a case to be the goat. I think he was by far the most ready nba athlete from college from what I’ve read. Just really damn cool if Tatum can pass a legend like that, he just passed magic and a bunch of others tonight.

Kareem is massively underrated. Probably more underrated by Lakers fans than Celtics fans. He is #2 on my GOAT list after Bill Russell. When you are so good that the NCAA has to change their rules just to make the game "fair" you are on a completely different level.

Speaking of rookies wonder what Josh Jackson is up to. Is he watching the playoffs? If he is and he is watching what Brad Stevens can do with young players why hasn't he fired his agent yet?

Media is making fun of the Boston Celtics but the Celtics are one win away from the NBA Finals and everyone else is home watching!!!

Tatum. Played like a 5 year vet and like his pulse never got above 100.

Start Baynes in game 6 plz and....

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Wes-J · Post #137 » by **Wes-J** » Thu May 24, 2018 3:49 am

Tatum for basically doing it all.

Baynes really gave us a nice boost. Having a very solid postseason. Great to see him in the starting lineup.

He wasn't. At all. He's very easy to read when he's being funny. He was completely sincere.

Lebron deserves to be tired. Not only has he done a huge amount for the Cavs offensively; he's had defensive bursts as well.

I'm OK with the idea that the Cavs are the better team for as long as Lebron can do more and expend more energy than any other player in basketball, but the Cs are the much better team when he finally runs out of gas. Stamina is often a big part of championship-level sports.

Lebron literally looked like he aged 3-4 years in 2 days. His shooting stats were fairly typical but he just looked truly lethargic/tired out there. Even in game 1 when he wasn't that aggressive and didn't even shoot as well as this game, it looked more by design or based upon what the Celtics were doing and not because he had nothing in the tank. if he only has this level of energy in game 6, I don't expect this to even go 7.
