Does it ever get tiring being a pathetic hater?

It's these western conference stans. Beyond sad....I guess Minnesota obliterating Denver was more entertaining

Are you suggesting Garland faked the bleeding?

This


The West should just become the real championship
The East Final Winner should just win the #1 draft pick

It's the only way the East can become competitive


If they incorporate relegation to the league , East would’ve exist in second division only

They kinda lack that killer instinct. I think they have the Canadian problem of being too nice.

The irony being White is the nicest guy and the biggest killer mentality on the Celtics.

The Cavs have Kornet looking like an all-star center.

There's no gameplanning for Derrick White becoming the greatest shooter of all time.

Garland just too cool to defend the last second heave. Gutless player.

Tatum 5-17 shooting and 0 for 5 from 3 is nasty work.

Yeah but they had LeBron in beast mode

None of these soft players like Tatum/Brown and Celtic frontcourt would be able to stop him

Anyone who is above 7-foot will look like an all-star against the Cavs.

Garland is the one who ran from the other side of the court to stop the ball. You force one pass there and the Celtics don't get that shot off.
