At this point, would you rather be The Mavs or The Celtics?

Cool, he can make you a few treys but when he's giving up a bucket at a much higher rate, he's hurting the team on the scoreboard. Here's a novel idea Joe, give Brissett some of those minutes and see what he can do. Can't be any worse.


lol. He was good in the first three games. Everyone suck last night on defense. This was a team issue last night so single out players it’s dumb


I wasn't blaming him for the loss. I was making the case to give Brissett minutes. They were clearly hammered on the boards last night and that's one thing that Brissett does very well. I also think Brissett would be a tougher match up for Luka than Hauser is.

Barkley called the Celtics' performance in game 4 "unprofessional" and I agree. They just gave up near the end of the first quarter.

Florida just lost 8 to 1 with a chance to sweep and win the Stanley cup.

It's in the water.

Boston in 5.

We will need our best players to take scoring matters into their own hands our next playoffs as Brown can’t do it alone. He’s very good but he’s a second option.

Many people in the NBA community subscribe to some fallacious notion that Tatum is top 7. Now’s the time to get on the phone before other teams come to their senses.

Great take. So basically Jaylen Brown single handedly carried this team of old, injured and trash players to a historic season,64 wins and within 1 game of a championship? Seems like he should surely be winning league MVP and be first team All-NBA if that's the case.

But sure, let's go get Booker instead ... he's brought so many titles to Phoenix.

Poor Booker never had the opportunity to half ass his way to the finals with a supporting cast of Brown, Jrue, White, Porzingis and was instead thrusted into poorly constructed, aging rosters in languishing systems.

Give Booker the keys to the Ferrari and teams forfeit before the games even begin.

In close-out games:

The 1996 Bulls lost by 21 with a 3-0 lead
The 2017 Warriors lost by 21 with a 3-0 lead
The 2000 Lakers lost by 33 with a 3-1 lead

Close-out games are hard
