Should any team from the West be scared of the Celtics? They look so lazy and uninspired. It's as if they've won 2 straight titles. :lol:

I don't even think this is the Celtics playing down to their talent. The Cavs are playing really good defense and are playing very hard out there, all while hitting their shots.

It's a shame what's happening with Garland right now. He can't buy a bucket out there despite Cleveland surprisingly hanging around. Cleveland will not win this game unless he can generate some offense.

They play like they expect to win on talent alone.

Kornet is just camped in the paint for multiple possessions.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Predictable Celtics when the other team’s best player is out. They always do this ****.

Oh wait. You don't like having words shoved down your throat with passive aggressive responses while being called dense?

You don't say.


I told you I think Tatum is great. You’re dense by choice.


Not a single person was arguing against if you thought Tatum was great.

I think I've seen a single three second call in these playoffs.

They are a very hard team to defend with Porzingas and I think if they played real competition, there focus would be better for sure. Nuggets played six straight games to start the playoffs where they acted like the didn’t know when the game was scheduled to start. Yeah, I know Celtics haven’t won anything yet but this east is sad especially with injuries.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
