Fans everywhere turn on their team way faster and harder than they used to. Just the way it is today.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Is this Philly's year??? I would favor them over any of the West teams for sure.

If they get past Boston it could be chip time for Embiid!

celtics offense has alot of iso tatum, iso jaylen. they're both great players so they can win a ton of games with it but every team still needs a 3rd guy release valve. embiid + harden have maxey. celtics don't have that 3rd guy.

I hate both teams, but i can feel already the latter’s fans are also giddy with what’s happening to Boston and i expect them to troll the other. LOL


I won't, especially not before the series is over.

But yes, it's thoroughly satisfying to watch the Celtics vomit all over themselves.

Will certainly root for you guys vs Miami.


That's kind of you but I'm not counting chickens until they hatch. 3-2 is nice but I wouldn't say I'm comfy

He played at Kentucky and his draft year was the tournament was cancelled due to COVID. So he flew under the radar.

Weve done an absolutely horrendous job covering 3s. Jaylen brown is a vastly overrated defender, really low BBIQ player.
