Gahh, what's this NBA TV nonsense for a playoff game.

I come away thinking that the Celtics are just obviously a juggernaut. They are versatile enough that they don't really have any weaknesses. It feels like last season's final run where no one really was able to push them. Winning tonight will blow my mind

Also, thanks knightro for all you do for this community! Appreciate you, brother.

You want some optimism my guy?

I don’t think the Magic are that far off from being really good. Genuinely.

I just don’t trust Weltman or Mosley to make the hard decisions necessary, both from a personnel and schematic standpoint, to get this team where it needs to go.

Third year in the playoffs (next year) is usually where teams like ours break out and go on an extended run.
Other teams break it up and rebuild. We may or may not re-tool our supporting cast but our core is here for awhile.

I have a feeling the refs might not give Boston a heavy whistle tonight and make them play through the physicality. And by feeling, I mean hope.

We can always have Cole throw up on Tatum.

Bucks-Pacers should be over soon.

Stupid hockey!

Oh well, at least NBA TV has better video quality than freaking ABC or TNT.
I just hate the user interface I have to use to watch it with.

I was hoping we'd start a different lineup

This offense is comical

He's an interesting player. Was originally on a great trajectory as a three point specialist and then just misplayed the market.

It would take him 10 games to get 24 shots here.

Why foul him like that and give him the and 1. Such bone head stuff

3ddman23 · Post #55 » by **3ddman23** » Wed Apr 30, 2025 12:59 am

They just can't hit a wide open 3...

Gary Trent had a mediocre pass at his feet and didn’t get it. Indy then scored with 3 seconds left. Brutal way to lose.

How is this an NBA team?? Like how is a professional team at the highest level not able to hit an open 3 point jump shot? Wtf

We're getting the extra shots, but we're 4-12.

I will be so happy when KCP gets traded. Thank God he only has 2 years left on that contract.

Bucks are done, bad luck but also once again dubious coaching...
