Nah, it's more of an Al Horford thing.

The ball is gone and Pachulia takes an extra step sliding into Leonhards space that served absolutely no purpose, 100% dirty play.

I'd be absolutely livid too as a coach.

Lol @ the narrative that McGee has made an impact with the Warriors.

His stupidity was on full display again last night when he was subbed to provide some presence inside and promptly managed to get himself benched with a hallmark hotdog behind the back pass that was stolen and returned for two on the other end.

Not hard to look decent on a team like the Warriors, but this dude is never going to get it.

The Celtics getting the number 1 pick after beating us in 7 is disgusting.

Good GMs are thinking about now and also about the future. Ainge is playing Otello, while EGgo keeps losing at tic tac toe.

Grunfeld was chosen with the 11th pick, probably doubts there's anything much to be found after that.

I can't even be mad. The Celtics are in the best position of anyone in the East to take the throne from LeBron. Top front office.

I have to disagree. As of now, it appears the Sixers and the Bucks are in better position.

The only way the Celtics make noise is by signing Gordon Hayward. Why?
- The best player(s) in the draft are PG's, which so happens to be the position of their best player with 1 year left. If we assume they draft Fultz, he plays the combo guard behind IT/Bradley this year but he certainly doesnt push them over.
- Amir Johnson, Olynyk, and Jerebko are all FA that played about 20% of the minutes in each game and were nice contributors. We have to assume none of them are brought back as they need the cap space.
- After next year. Bradley, IT, and Smart all expire. With Fultz in the wings, do they spend 28-30M on IT?

Sixers are too injury prone.

Giannis needs a jumper and Jabari Parker has to become a better defender. They have the defense but they have to get some offense for me to take them seriously.

The Cs won't trade their pick but their depth is the best int he conference and they have cap space.

I love pop interviews and those poor reporters.

I hate the Cavs, but I am actually enjoying them put the beat down on the Celtics after the series we had.

Yeah true that. But the lack of competitive series has sucked. Kawhi Leonard going down was the biggest downer.

Just frustrating the Wiz couldn't put their foot on their neck like this in the first two Boston games.

Good god we would have been the more competitive opponent.

This is embarrassing from Boston.

And OF COURSE after going a combined 1,999 / 2,000 from three against us, Thomas, Horford and Bradley are a combined 2/10.

Because Wizards.

the wizards look animal dumb compared to cleveland in terms of rotation and effort
