High five. Not a foul.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Tatum pushed off then flopped and got mad he wasn't gifted FTs.

Boston fans crying they're not getting calls when the Cavs are playing Niang and Morris real minutes is legitimately hilarious to me.

So Malone can walk onto the court and literally scream right in the ref's face and there's nothing. But Tatum does a dismissive wave as he walks away and it's a tech. So dumb.

How about just playing defense and ending the series. Another lackluster performance against bad competition

Cavs also without Allen the entire series.

Knicks up 3-2 they are close to getting another injury riddled team.

Probably now he is (as Barkley has aged he has shrunk).

Celtics likely have another series to get their act together. Denver has woken up it seems. Celtics playing like this won't beat that team.

Obviously this series is over, but man, I don't like Garland's game. I think theoretically he's a good player, but in high intensity/tough defensive playoff basketball, I don't think he's going to work. Unless, he's playing Derrick White's role, where he's a catch and shoot guy off the attention of better players. I don't trust him whenever he dribbles more than like 3 times.

I wish we can just do what the As fans did and just be utterly obnoxious when we want to get our point across like in European soocer.

I'm sure they'll be fine. Boston is just pacing themselves because they have no reason for exertion.

Cause Cavs would beat them if they rested Brown or Tatum.
