Now i know you want to make a statement but no business in Embiid still out there. That’s a big knee to take care of. Let them starters rest already.

Fans everywhere turn on their team way faster and harder than they used to. Just the way it is today.

I catch myself sometimes feeling happier about teams that lost than teams that won, it's sad and toxic. Need to get my attitude fixed

i think a jaylen brown led team would be a lot like a donovan mitchell led team.

Celtics can win game 6 but it would not shock me at all if they get blown out in game 7.

The Celtics under Tatum and brown since 2018 have been ass at home. It’s almost like they’re scared playing at home and more comfortable on the road

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

Miami is a bad matchup for the 76rs, Spo knows how to game plan against them.

Legit now...Wouldn't Westbrook be incredible on this C's team though?
