If Kyle Lowry did this you would have called him out in a nanosecond for flopping/exaggerating. In fact you actually have. Maybe take your homer glasses off just for once.


I called Lowry a flopper when he flopped. How can you honestly say he’s not. If he got elbowed in the head with visible blood, I wouldn’t have called that particular play a flop.

G.Will does flop, but why show a play when he gets elbowed and is bleeding?


He flopped because he exaggerated the contact. His reaction was disproportionate to the minimal contact that occurred. His reaction indicated that he got hot by Mike Tyson when in fact Looney s elbow breezed his lip. That s flopping.

PS: I know Lowry does it too. But at least I can admit that.

Wiggins played like Tatum. Tatum played like Wiggins. Series.

“Breezed his lip” wouldn’t cause blood. No point talking to you. You bring nothing to the table. Just troll all the time. Absolute clown

I feel like Boston really need to work hard on their flopping. If they sold the fake fouls more they probably win the championship. That is there one area to really improve on next year. They've got to stop trying to play good defence and fall on the ground more instead.

Kyle Lowry might be on the trade market 8-)


No please....don't think I can take Lowry, Smart, Grant, Horford all flopping on the same team.

How dumb are you?

How am I not admitting to it when the quote you’re responding to literally has me saying “G.Will does flop”.

Rough end to the Finals, but the way this team turned its season around was AWESOME to watch. A core with Tatum, Brown, Smart and Williams is great. Not sure what Horford can give you next season. Loved White for the mid-season pickup and hope he stays with the team.

Grant and Pritchard are still young bench players that can improve. They just need to a get a little bit deeper.

If they could find a way to get Beal and keep Tatum/Brown/Rob, Stevens would win EOTY.

You’ve been at it all playoffs and now you’re in the post mortem. Someone must have hurt you real bad, give it a break.

All things considered, this Celtics season was a flop.

Feels like the Celtics will be the 2022-2023 Phoenix Suns, huge expectations but fall short when father time catches up to Horford. Upgrading point guard position to a pass first 1 most likely means sacrificing defensive versatility, which was crucial for their switch everything defense. They’d be scary with Rubio and Horford having enough gas in the tank for one more run. Think its more likely they are a 2nd round out next year though

Boston's offense was pretty tragic once the Dubs had a few games to work them out. They were dismantled. Tatum was exposed as too one dimensional offensively by Wiggins, and Brown's handle is limited, without Al Horford going off from deep this was a gentleman's sweep.

Don't know what the answer is but they were close, however I'm not convinced they get out of the East next season as currently constructed.

He’s a clown. Must have a sad life the way he’s in every Boston thread trolling. Those type of people must be down bad in real life. I actually feel sorry for him.

They need a point guard. It’s undeniable. You’re not gonna get Lowry, Holiday, or CP3. Make a trade for Lonzo Ball or dare I say…John Wall on an expiring?

Why would I even be salty? You realize your team lost. If anything I m glad I got spared the heartbreak of losing the finals. But hey keep on insulting guys.
