Could be a night of awful results for the C's. Cavs win makes it likely we face them in Round 2, Nets blew a 20 point lead and lost, potential for Pacers loss to Pelicans.

The nets are inexplicably good at losing

Don't worry about it, it is what it is. At least the Celtics ain't soft.

Yo Ibaka would be a great fit for your team. 3/D PF and still only 28 years old think about it

That game was traumatizing. Jose Calderon is one of the creepiest looking dudes I ever seen.

Lebron was crying for calls most of the time and one time even grabbed his lower back wincing, for emphasis to probably show Cleveland how much he carries them......

Raptors got these stupid pained looks on their faces once the lead rapidly diminished and the Cavs finally got a lead. And defense. What defense? Neither team bothered.

Oh and Pacers lose again tonight. Thank you Victor Frauadipo. And the Wizards can't even beat the walking dead AKA the Spurs.

It's like the entire east depends on Kyrie Irving's knee since this eastern garbage is really bugging me. Actually the Raptors CHANCES depend on Kyrie's knee too. I mean their best hope (if the Raptors even get to the ECFs) is the Celtics shocking the Cavs beforehand and Brad Stevens FINALLY coming up with a master plan to slow down Lebron.

The Nets are beyond awful. Ainge will have dodged a bullet if that doesn't end up a Top 3 pick or even the top pick. I like Kyrie but that trade was too risky for my liking.

They got no other talent. Which, I guess, makes it totally explicable.

You really think that landing one of the best players in the league for a draft pick was risky?? We still have the Sacramento and Memphis picks.

Former Celtics legend resurfaces in Argentina.

Reading that all I can feel is profound jealousy. Beautiful city, zillion things to do, great food, and best of all no snow to shovel.

This is so bizarre. I think he's scared to come back because he wants to get paid.

Lol. Not only did they give up 132 to the Cavs. But who played for the cavs is what is insane.

Calderon & Jeff Green gave them a 30 piece as starters. (Not weird if this was 2011)
& a bench consisting of a rookie, a 2way rookie, jordan clarkson & a 3pt shooter shooting 32% since the break.

No hood, nance, thompson, korver.

Lifshatz has been on this story for months now. He reported that Kawhi's teammates were calling him out in practice yesterday, a full 19 hours before Woj's story.

And FWIW, Lifshatz said that Leonard was going to get dealt this summer. Also thinks the Celtics won't be making an offer on him.

there is definitely something going on there, not sure if physiological or just Kahwi becoming a prima donna.

But as long as it really inst a physical injury why not make an offer for him. That would be one crazy player add. Would still need a stud bigman but Irving/Hayward/Leonard and one of Brown or Tatum makes a hell of a 1-4 lineup

Tatum, S. Johnson and picks for Leonard
Horford Nader and Boston pick for Drummond and Johnson

Irving
Brown
Hayward
Leonard
Drummond

Yeah I saw that. He also says Woj wasn't completely right when he said the Celtics feel Kyrie's got no structural damage and the Celtics still feel he just needs rest; that scares me a little.

Horford hasnt been a world beater.

IMO if you have someone like leonard at the PF spot, you need a beast at the center spot.

What if Leonard is contemplating retirment?
