We do not win 64 games without him.


Not absurd at all. The talent disparity is laughable. You can shut down the entire starting unit, and the bench should win by 15 points.

What the actual **** are you talking about


Calm down and enjoy it. Relax. I articulated my take quite clearly.

It wasn't a foul and I think that was clear as day.

Tatum gets fouled every time he goes to the hoop and they don't call it so really I think it's just a bias

Don't be that fan. Just accept the refs gave you the game and move on

No. I actually think the Cavs got the whistle.

Wow, this guy just put Porzingis as more important than Brown? I can't wait to the Finals so I can bring this quote back up when Porzingis comes up small. He choked with the Mavs in 2021 against Clippers and he's going to do it again. He already did in 2 games out of 4 before he got hurt. The only way he doesn't come up small is if he gets hurt again. :lol:

We get it you hate Porzingis.

I’m not interested in reading your garbage opinion about him 600 times


Forget my hate for Porzingis, why do you hate Jaylen Brown? He's been your best player at various times, and you put this journeyman injury prone player over him? That's messed up.

Honestly Strus was Celtics best player. Too bad he fouled out.

Perhaps that Cleveland plays their best basketball with 1 of their bigs and 1 of their guards, making two players redundant.

They got Heat with no Butler and Rozier now Cavs with no Jarrett Allen and this game Donovan Mitchell. Nobody's impressed by what they've done so far other than Celtic fans.


Celtics with no KP as well.

Average winning margin of 21 points so far.

Lost 2 games in the 3 point era where a team can get hot and beat anyone.

Sure I’d love for them to sweep through the playoffs but it’s just not happening.


Porzingis is a No. 3. Butler and Mitchell are their team's No. 1. False equivalence


Yeh and they won 4-1 by an average margin of 22 points haha.

They’re up 2-1 with Mitchell playing and KP out.

The only 2 games they’ve lost have been incredibly hot shooting nights.

The Heat tied for 4th most threes in a playoff game and Cavs shot 46% in their win.

Injuries happen, championship teams also lose games to inferior ones since the beginning of the NBA.

People have the worst takes on here it’s unbelievable. Just like everyone was writing Denver off after 2 losses. Dumb

Again, I don’t care what you say because I’ve been reading your boring rubbish crap about Porzingis for months

Porzingis is more important to this team and all the numbers back this up
