Can't wait to hear him scream with a lost voice within one minute. Minny is quiet as hell crowd-wise so you can hear him the whole game.

Also reminder to the board, Jimmy Butler is out.

You know James Harden has become one of the golden boys in the league when you can't even talk about how he's officiated. Smh. Everything Smart said was true, and the league would be better off fining those referees whenever they give Harden those awful calls. He gets about 4-6 FTs per game that he doesn't deserve

Wolves lost 2 in a row. Is the loss of Butler showing? With Kyrie play?

I think we SHOULD hold Kyrie out this game. We need him down the stretch. There's no reason to screw a golden opportunity in the playoffs just to grab an extra win or two in the regular season. Just my opinion!

Kind of disgusting how similar our records are. Shows how poorly we olayed2these past 2 months.

Jayson Tatum needs one 3-point basket to surpass Paul Pierce for 3-pointers made (84) in rookie season. He needs at least one made three per game the rest of the season (if he plays all the games) to at least tie JR Bremer for the Celtics rookie record (101).

He's currently shooting threes at 43.5%, 4th in the league. Horford is 5th. Dirk, turning 40 in the summer, is 3rd wtf.

Raptors fans in twitter is worse that Real GM raptors fans. This is the first time I check Raptors twitter but the hot takes are terrible. This is some of the hot takes:
Calderon in 07-08 was as efficient as MVP Curry
Pascal Siakam is better than Horford and Tatum
Raptors bench better than Celtics starters
Raptors young core better than the Celtics.

We'll have the 1 seed back soon enough.
