I’d like to see Spo fire up a victory blunt, as a tribute to Red Auerbach.

You can't zone Jokic. He's too good anywhere on the court, but especially from up top. How can they guard him with a guard

 

[OrangeDW]

Clearly they know how to get the ball to the ACC logo.

Boston sports fans deserve this.

 

[OrangeDW]

Gotta give you credit - you knew they didn’t have it.

Little known fact about Scott Foster, apparently no team has ever won a game officiated by Scott Foster. I'm joking, but people love throwing out these tweets with records when official X is involved and then as soon as the game is over it's all forgotten.

Am I bitter because Foster reffed game 6 Miami-Knicks and that meant it was a lock the Knicks won and they didnt? Maybe

Yup I'm quoting my own post because pretty sure no one will bring up the Celtics being 12-0 in Foster games now

Just a soft, front running team. As we’ve all seen, they can’t or don’t execute in crunch time. Far too many mental lapses. This group of players handles in game adversity very poorly. In that sense, Tatum and Brogdon typify what this team is all about.

 

[Knicks411]

Jaylen Brown is a very good player but it is astonishing how bad his handle is

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Miami nay have Taylor Herro & his 20 ppg ready for Denver.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I feel like Spo’s legacy needs to be reevaluated. I feel like people viewed him as Lebrons babysitter in the early 2010s. But he’s a legitimately great coach.

He's fantastic.

Got to give it to Pat.

He knew.

I mean, they just had an amazing win on an incredible last second play in the previous game.

Not a fan of Miami sports teams, but kinda want to stream Miami Vice. Where the hell can it be found?

 

[STEVEHOLT]

How can you call a team that was down 3-0 and won 3 in a row, 2 on the road … soft ? This entire playoffs has been grand proclamation after grand proclamation as to what Boston is and everyone was pretty much wrong every time. They are a complete rando” meter team and so are its best players. They could win it all next year with 4 , 4 game sweeps and I wouldn’t be surprised one bit. And I have no love for that team

I think this will be a fun NBA finals. I'm stoked.

Spo is probably my pick for best coach in the league. He is definitely an all timer. He was on the list of top 15 coaches in league history put out last year. (Then again, so was Doc...)

In which they choked away a large lead late in the game. A lot of things had to go exactly right for that last possession to work.

As a 2 seed, they went down 0-3 to an 8 seed, and came back to win the next 3. Struggled against Atlanta, and barely scraped by the Sixers (another soft squad). I said that the team wasn’t going to win before the playoffs started, and I think anyone who watched them regularly knew that, whether or not they wanted to admit it.

My text box is pretty busy right now with my Nuggs friends. I play devils advocate for them, because they're saying sweep. So I just told them, this is gonna be fun.

Jaylen Brown is a very good player but it is astonishing how bad his handle is

A lot of Bucks fans are desperate to get rid of Middleton because of his loose handle and also desperate to try to get Jaylen Brown. Aside from his age, Jaylen feels like exactly what we should not want right now.

If Boston is actually open to trading him, I imagine he’s at the top of the list for Portland and Houston (assuming they get Harden).

I also personally think something built around a Jaylen-Garland swap would be good for both Boston and Cleveland.

Simmons deserves it for his idiotic 2004 Cardinals take.
