It’s the effing playoffs. All teams are going to fight. It’s a professional league for a reason.

He either loses the game or wins it for you. Smart was huge in the end.

Stop it lmao.

Yeah what the hell? We dominated the last 5 minutes, earned the win.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I'm still laughing about the comments in the game 5 thread. Some of you are like hormonal 14 year olds.
"Marcus Smart needs to go!"
"Jayson Tatum is too soft to be a superstar"
"Mazulla is a bum and has no idea what he's doing!"

Anyway, on to the next one.
GO CELTICS.
One day Marcus Smart will be defensive player of the year, mark my words.

Knicks in Six (against Miami). Maybe 7. They match up well with Miami.

A Celtics/Knicks ECF could be epic.

One thing rob needs to be aware of is passing the ball too quickly
