Man I just can't get myself to watch this series. And others seem to agree. Of the 4 2nd round series this one has the least # of posts. I gotta watch it to assess where Celtics are at for the conference finals.

It is not the most compelling one for sure.

The thing is, it's not like this Morris and Niang frontcourt has ever been good. There's no excuse for playing those two together in a playoff series

TT? Like, Tristan Thompson? He still plays? For you?
He had to serve a 25 game suspension in the middle of the season for PEDs but yeah he dresses lol

Still afraid to go up in the paint like Wemby is down there.

It’s definitely his best scoring game in this years playoffs so far.

He's just not the kind of guy who will force a bunch of terrible shots against multiple defenders. I mean, he gets double teamed in the paint and kicks out to a wide open shooter. That's an objectively good play. He has to be coached to be more selfish and play through contact. But, it's not a bad thing that he is willing to make the extra pass. He has five assists in the first half.

Brown with the hand off to Okoro.

It looks to me like he's trying to help the Celtics cover.

Without Porzingis the Celtics bench looks pretty weak to me: Hauser, Pritchard, Kornet and Tillman Sr.

I’m stuck in a hotel room in BFE. It’s either this or go down to the Mississippi River and score meth.

This post is the ghost of defending young Kevin Garnett past. Not saying they're the same player, just saying offensively that's a young KG to a facepalming T.

Who wins and goes to the ECFs?
