So do we get the insider tweet about how bad Luka’s knee is after this game or after the sweep completes in game 4?

I got maybe 8 minutes of game time in over 3 games.

Boston has been good enough to win it for years, and were deserving favorites this year, but it is a bummer to see them walk through the playoffs without a serious test.

It does though open the door for a massive narrative shift if we beat them next year. As itchy as talking heads have been to pile on us, we win it next year and it'll be, "If not for the injuries, would Giannis have as many rings as LeBron?"

Still see the same old Boston mistakes even while being this juggernaut. Would've been interesting to see how they would've gone if a team could get them into trouble game after game.

The Bucks, even with all their flaws and as inconsistent as they were all season.

Probably win the championship with a healthy Giannis if their road is.

Heat without Butler
Cavs without Mitchell for multiple games.
Pacers with Haliburton missing multiple games.
Mavericks in the Finals.

Probably sounds like sour grapes, but I am being honest.

Boston is really good and maybe they still win the title if they play healthy teams that matched up well with them Bucks/Knicks/Nuggets.

But holy **** did they have a favorable road.

Luka is just running on fumes, man.

Blazers are always let off the hook for their terrible trade with Boston.

Meh it’s a blocking foul. Pretty silly from Luka on 5 fouls.

Kidd destroyed all of Dallas' momentum with that timeout. Mazulla refused to call a timeout so Kidd did it for him.

I mean you just double Kyrie full court and win here. Nobody on Dallas can dribble let alone score.

Jrue isn't even playing that well today.

White literally just stood there and the ball got to him and Doris is losing her mind.

Harden esque iso offense is not going to beat an actual team. Luka hits some ridiculous shots, but it’s very unappealing to watch in the half court.

The reality is all the Boston titles have been won because they fleeced the crap out of a dumb team.

Trading Joe Barry Carroll for McHale and Parish
Suckering the Nets into giving up their draft for five years for old KG and Pierce. Get Ray for 5th overall pick
Identify three really good players and get them in trades where they don’t give up much (White, Zinger, Jrue)

Masterclass by Ainge and Brad Stevens.
