There’s maybe like 2 or 3 players that can get into the lane anytime they want. And not only that, but have the creativity to not get their shot blocked around the rim.

Props to the Celtics, they took it when it was handed to them.

Still hate them and the city they rep to the fullest, though.

EDIT: And I can't wait until they come back to earff.

Wow huge win for Boston. Something missing with Warriors, they look unhappy this year.

Durant rushed it. Kyrie sucked but pulls it out. Meh.

Turned that solid but no superstar low ceiling team into possibly a future dynasty and potential giant killer for now

I think having Kyrie gives you a chance to win a championship even now whether high or low, so much upside

Okc could have a chance if they learn to play better on offense.

Defense won that game

Not sure there can ever be a big win in November. That was a horribly officiated game and GS missed a ton of shots they normally hit. Boston would be lucky to take more than one game off GS in the finals if they got there. Still think Cleveland is going to get there.

Philly yes barring injury. Boston, far from convinced. Tatum very good at least but how good. Same as Brown, with more downside. Kyrie is not overwhelming anybody.

Well, yeah, they are good. I just think they are definitely overachieving atm.

Will be a good fight for ECF between four teams. :devil:
