Anyone else have a sound syncing problem with the broadcast or is just my stream.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Yes, a smart decision since they know this series was done the moment it's set. No risk for further injuries (especially for Mitchell's side, who hits free agency)

Man, Horford has found his stroke this game. Needed that.

And just like that the Celtics are playing like title contenders again.

This is a great team, but you can question their consistency and focus. i have no doubts they are of the same quality with the potential West opponent in the NBA Finals but they really have to start establishing that rhythm and don't need any more of these play down to the opposition type of nights.

i think they will, especially if it's against the dangerous Knicks they know they can't play with their food there.

Any strategy against the Celtics should be to let Jrue try to beat them.

Cavs ducked the Sixers just to get pushed to 7 by the Magic and get mollywhopped by the Celtics.

Was hoping they’d at least push the Celtics to 6.

From which side though? The franchise? i doubt it. i think this is all Mitchell, act injured, protect your body (and potential max contract). You are correct, that's an FU move but a smart one.

TD Garden for the playoffs this season has been absolutely PATHETIC. I think the playoff ticket cost is pricing out the real, noisy fans. Embarrassing showing by Celtics fans tbh

Only in United States though , imagine any Football ( soccer ) club doing this in champions league , they would never hear the end of it from the fans , their ticket merchandise sales would drop so much they would never do it again or suffer

Evan Mobley is suddenly being super aggressive offensively.
