Thompson is so much better than your oversimplification

no, actually, he isn't. his defense is poor, he doesn't pass and he can't shoot. what am i missing?

again, how does the best player on the planet (arguably) play alongside 3 studs and they're not torching the league?

A: he doesn't play alongside 3 studs


His defense isn't poor. The fact that you think that means this argument will be pointless

And uh, they're 9-0 in the playoffs aren't they?

You care too much about their regular season performance

It looks like every player on Boston is like 6'2 lol Even if they arent, thats what they look like on the court against the Cavs.

Well guys, look like BOS goes down 0-2 just like they did against CHI, only to come back for a swift reverse sweep.

IT is unwatchable when he flops. He literally runs past korver and throws his hands up like he got pushed with korver standing still not even paying attention to him.

Honesty I just feel it's that they're not getting away with the same BS. No more tick tack fouls or going over the back. To top it off they have to play a rested lebron with no defensive stopper for him. Wonder if they still think keeping that pick is more valuable than getting a 2 way wing.

Getting blown out and swept - does that make it more or less likely for the Celtics to trade their #1 pick? Or neither?

I mean Boston is healthy and at home and still down 30.

30 point blowout with Chris Webber and Reggie Miller commentating. It's hard to fathom a worse product for the NBA to sell.

They are probably closer to saying blow it up after this game.

This is worst. It's like watching the sixers (a few back when they got the record for fewest wins) against the 2011 heat. It's so bad that Reggie and Webber really can't even commentate this. What else can you say other than one team is getting slaughtered.

I'm smiling ear to ear watching this Boston implosion. I guess they annoy me more than the Cavs... this season at least.

This is equal to the Cavs playing the 8th seed. Thats how much difference the Cavs are to the Celtics.

LMAO The Celtics are an embarrassment. IT and Brown should have shut the hell up.

It's probably for the best we didn't play the cavs.

Avery Bradley can slay Jimmy Butler anytime, but he can't touch Lebron.
