Man, **** Boston, the Celtics, their fans, and Boston again like 3x more, though.

To me Celtics fans and Vikings fans are the main reasons why I absolutely hate both of those teams. The teams themselves aren't that bad. It's the fan bases of those two teams that are the foundation of my hate.

Thanks to Jeff Teague, now every time I see the 11th and 12th man get a championship I'm like, you got an A on the group project...lol.

Is this trolling? His career high ts% in the playoffs for us was 49%. That's what prompted the (necessary) change.

He/they haven't proven they can beat a healthy Bucks. We bowed out in the 1st rd w/ Jrue & more Giannis the prior season.

Hopefully Brown getting MVP causes a rift between him and Tatum and the Celtics completely fall apart.

:D

Larry Harris and Dave Babcock are at home still admiring Al Hoford’s body on tv 17 years later.

Maybe they win anyway but the basketball gods really parted the sea for the Celtics this year. It was so gross to watch.

They very well could've, but man, talk about a dream path to the chip. Injuries and then the 3rd best team out of the west. Denver and Min would've pushed them way harder.

one thing that makes me happy is seeing the social media channels all agree this was not a "dominate" run by any means.

Celtics must've been pretty good to take down the best backcourt ever.

Boston are both really good and healthy enough whereby Jrue doesn't have to do too much, especially on the offensive end. Injuries to Khris and Giannis exposed him. I bet the board bet on the health of our best two deteriorating, thus flicked the switch with Dame. When healthy, Giannis, Khris n Jrue are a serious threat for multiple chips. Boston now with Tatum, Brown n Jrue are clear of everyone.
