The power of Tom Brady compels you.
Now playing with house money. Get the #1 pick tomorrow and it's maybe the best a season can get without a championship.
Someone is really underdressed.
This guy knocked out the Wizards.
Why didn't he get the larger shorts?

Now let's hope for a competitive series for the East. A sweep will be boring, but if that's what the Celtics do to the Cavs, I'll have to be okay with it.
Does the green have a designated Zaza?

He is too goofy to intentionally hurt Love.
He did hurt him but I don't see Olynyk as this dirty player. I see him more as goof who does stupid things than dirty.

Hard to feel bad for the Spurs when they executed the Horry hip check on Nash that won them a series and employed Bruce Bowen as their designated goon for 10 years.

I know he coached the Celts to our 17th but I just can't stand Doc. He's just the biggest whiner. Even when he was with the Celts, it was like he never thought we committed a foul.

Lebron taunting the bench after blocking a 5'8 guy.
This Celtics team doesn't have 1/10 the toughness and grit Rondo/Pierce/Garnett provided. Even Glen Davis and Perkins.

They have other issues besides Olynyk tonight.
I expected the series to go 5, maybe 6 games, thought Boston had a chance to "steal one" tonight against a "rusty" Cavs team. There's another half to go, the Celtics may turn it around and still "steal one" tonight, but, speaking as a Cavs fan, I really like what I'm seeing.

You can't steal one with one days rest off a 7 game series against the defending champs and best player on earth rested.
I'll start worrying if this happens in game 2.
Celtics can't guard LeBron at all.
They are stupidly playing the pick and roll horribly. Make LeBron pass as if he keeps it he scores every time.

If you are the Celtics, you have to make a bet on LeBron's career over the next few years.
If you think he has 2-3 more years and won't pull an early retirement, I don't know how you can justify locking up IT (whom I love, but you aren't toppling LeBron with him as your best player).
If you are rolling the dice that you can not only take down Bron, but then the WC champs as well, I think that is a pretty big bet, too.
At the same time, you just got the 1 seed, got a superstar scorer, first pick this year and next year you have a top pick. Players get hurt, things happen. Should be vying for some top free agents.
Tough call. It's one thing to *almost* be a legit title contender, it's another to be an actual one.
I don't know the answer, but my evaluation would be determined by if I could have landed in a top three seed in the west if the team was in the western conference.
Does signing Hayward make the difference? Anyone else?
Not sure where I'm going with these thoughts.
I will say this, I would have faith in Boston with any avenue they choose. With Ainge and Stevens, I wouldn't be worried.
