I’m at the watch party at the Q and my family is embarrassed that I’m openly rooting against the Cavs.

Celtics fans ultra-cocky on the GB right now. Reminding me of why they're the worst fan base in all the NBA, and why I root against the Celtics 99.99% of the time.

Re: Around the NBA, Episode 39.0 "A New Hope"
We can hate on Boston’s fans all we like but the reality is they are positioned to be the next best team. I’m in awe of the job Ainge has done over there. Got a great college coach that now looks like the best coach in the nba easily. Pop doesn’t have the horses to be the top coach any more.
They have a super star in waiting Kyrie who is what 24???? They have Hayward who is also like 24.
They have REAL up an comers that project to be all stars each at the very minimum in Tatum and Brown.
Another trade piece in Scary Terry. They have Horford.
Like it or not they are gonna own the east for quite some time. The hell with Ben Rondo and Embiid.
Also, I don’t think Ainge is done yet. I’m sure one of Tatum, Brown or Hayward and one of the many picks they possess will land them the whale they need (Kawhi or AD)
We are so far behind that it’s laughable

Slow down all you Celtics slurpers. One game does not a series victory make.

If Cavs lose this series Lebron is 100% going to Philly.

Meh, we would trade all our "youth" for either Brown or Tatum....and the Celtics would hang up....there's levels to talent

Wouldn’t be all that great. Embiid wasn’t dominant at all in the playoffs. Ben has no game whatsoever outside of the paint. They have Fultz that somehow forgot how to play basketball. Reddick, Marco, Ilyesova are all FAs now.
That team simply put ain’t good enough and neither our their “cornerstone” players. Maybe they will be in a few years but not yet.
Lebron needs to team up with Kawhi wherever he goes or AD or latch onto Houston. Philly ain’t his type of team.

Ainge offered us something like 5picks for Winslow. And we decided on Winslow. Like I said, wrong move after wrong move.
