Having Giannis AND Dame in close games is unfair

So the reason he threw it off the glass was -- what?

Pure showboating?

Because he did a kind of crossover without keeping his dribble alive, and hence had to let go of the ball to avoid a travel?

Yep, he was about to travel. Quick thinking by him. Threw the ball to where he could be the only one to get to it.

Maybe he doesn't take too many pullup threes lol.

If there's no pull up 3, it's not JT! :lol:

Wish we could clown the warriors like that. Sadly we are exactly the opposite. We most likely have the big lead and choke it out in the end against the warriors. They know they own us, that’s why they play better against us.

and up 18 with over 6mins left lol. Unfortunately against us, they sink half court shots and rarely misses.

Why is Draymond Green getting off Suspension?
He should be Suspended for the Rest of the Season. He's attacked at least 5 players, including a Teammate.

Just for comparison, the Celtics are having their 2nd BEST relative offensive rating in franchise history (+6.3). Only one better is the 1987-88 team (+7.4). This is with JT, JB, and KP all shooting below average from 3.

People overvalue these wild a** circus shots way too highly. Best offensive move is the simple cut and fed for a dunk with about 49 seconds left.

more of this PLEASE! not from our guys, but the league needs more opponent hate/trash-talking! I don't want them to be buddies until the offseason. It makes things fun when teams don't like each other, little side-story spats add intrigue! I'm still mad about the funeral attire and I don't really remember what happened besides that! :lol:

Making the Pacers your rival registers pretty high on the cringe-meter tbh.
