Probably not much, wasn't grimacing a lot unless he saw the cameras on him. No doubt just hamming it up for his legacy.

Can Batum lead the Sixers past Brunson? It'll be interesting to see what Thibs does to slow him down.

Well it does add to the legacy if they can finally win 18. Miami is going to be a 7 game series and Miami is the only team in the east that can knock off the Celtics. Not a good matchup at all. But hopefully the Celtics win.

Butler got hurt in this game.
I wouldn't be surprised if Atlanta takes out Miami.
But if it's Miami, sweep!
Yes it is. They weren't locked in tonight and it showed. Neither was Philly. Miami wanted Boston, they probably are going to get Boston. If the Celtics can get past them they'll win the east. The two biggest obstacles for this squad aside from health is Miami and Denver.
There's almost zero chance the Celtics sweep them unless something nuts happens.
It's a sweep.
Butler's hurt.
Miami might not even make the playoffs.
Atlanta or Chicago can take them out.

If Miami shoots like they did tonight, it's an easy Boston win. If.

It's after 24 hours that the extent of the injury will be revealed.
Right now adrenaline is still high.
Let's see if the knee swells when he wakes up tomorrow.

Not a bad outcome. They beat each other up pretty good tonight. And now a pretty quick turnaround for Miami and Chi/Atl to play another high stakes game Friday night. We're in good shape.

I was kinda joking. I have no doubt he is hurt, but it's right up his Mucho alley not to play it down it all if it makes him look tough.

Kind of a weird formula, that the 1st Seeds don't find out until last, who they're playing in the 1st Round.
But, we gotta beat whoever we play. 4 Teams, 4 times each.

If Celtics can't beat that trash offense they should be slandered until next year's playoffs.

Celtics were in good shape the moment Jayson Tatum was born.
We just didn't know it at that time.

It's actually very good for the NBA and the fans.
This is just a play-in and Celtic fans are watching.
Adam Silver has done a great job in making the NBA more unpredictable and exciting.
