ATL - Ham Slamwich to the Lakers

Celts still look a bit out of sorts, to my eyes, on offense (tho hitting some tough 3s has helped) but they settled down nicely on D after a bad start.

I can't stand Golden State and all their winning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So you’re rooting for the Celtics to win their 18th?

Maybe it's just me but I don't exactly get jealous of Jim Crow era championships. In the past 35? years they've won once.

Also the Kevon Looney money tour might be coming to an end this series. He looks like Brook out there.

Absolutely but also lap nut bud needs to figure out how to keep the other team from shooting 43 3s n making 22 or so cause his D doesnt guard anyone from there

How could you not be angry?

Spoiler:

They blew a 3–2, should've been 3–1, possibly 4–1. Lack of adjustments & poor decision making cost the series.

Khris would've helped but so would some real critical thinking when it mattered.

Both teams defenses will settle down as the series moves on. Still like Boston to win the series, although I can't stand either team.

Maybe its the man in the arena commercials on every platform that makes it feel like boston wins 4 titles every year or maybe its watching winning time and grinning at the f Boston mantra but I grew up watching Birds Celtics and the media fawning over them just like the playoffs this year

Oddly find myself cheering for Boston tonight. For whatever reason, seeing Oracle and Steph/Klay/Draymond yet again is wearing on me more than thought.

Boston being able to get away with a ton of contact again really helps what they can do defensively.

Jabari AND Embiid crew in SHAMBLES.

Boaton has a great D but watching them get away with the mugging slapping holding so reminds me of richard sherman known as 1 of the best DBs in football yet 90% of the time he was grabbing holding everything he did should of been called a penalty.So nice when the celts get away with that crap.If it ever gets called like its supposed to their D wont be that special

That's why they must lose, IMO. Its garbage what they got away with vs the Bucks, on top of Bud & Jrue pissing away the games.

Never understood the dislike of GSW, such a fun team to watch, especially without Durant

Feels like Horford has gotten away with about 87 fouls in these playoffs lol. He was constantly giving Giannis that little push when Giannis was in the air and getting away with it in our series.

We know their strategy is foul as much as possible, because the refs can't call everything. Its garbage.

Both teams do such a good job of getting deflections. Wiggins one of Williams just then was a great swipe to stop a layup.

Looney has turned himself into quite the defender.

Wiggins would be pretty awesome in place of Middleton for us.

I love how Kerr put Poole on Tatum to start possessions, knowing that he’ll either get switched off on a screen or Boston will get baited into going iso every possession.

Little details & adjustments like that prove who the great coaches are.
