Didn't watch the game tonight, the series has overall been junk. Looks like Butler wasn't ready to be done. I was ready to pencil Boston into the finals before tonight but now with it going back to Miami game 7 on Sunday, who knows. The playoffs have certainly been weird and unpredictable. Boston fans couldn't praise Horford enough and he really laid an egg tonight. 

I think Golden State will easily win against either of these two teams. They've managed to stay remarkably healthy besides GPII who will be back for the finals apparently. Other than maybe tuning into a close game in the 4th quarter, I won't watch a ton of the finals. Don't care for any of the remaining three teams. 

Pretty much sums it up for me.  Boston is the lesser of three evils, followed by Miami.  Fuck the warriors

Trying to talk myself into becoming a Celtics fan for the next couple weeks and watch the games, but it’s not an easy task.

Also, Tatum texting Kobe’s old number then sharing it on IG is lame. 

I won’t watch a minute, but I guess internally pulling for Boston.

Top two teams I had no desire to watch.  Well, Brooklyn takes 1st place.  Good luck in the finals. See you next year.

Lol ok

Meanwhile on their expert panel, 15 of 20 picked the Warriors to win

I made fun of that model in like January when they said Celts were the favorites and they were like the 7th seed. So, I’m just gonna shut my mouth.

I do think they (Celts) have the distinctly better team and by far the better closing 5. But if GSW go bananas (highly unlikely vs Boston) it won’t matter. They have what the Cavs had in 2016 in terms of malleability and switching 1-5, but even better cause no Kyrie to pick on.

Smart, Horford, Tatum, Brown, Williams x2…good luck finding a matchup you’re gonna expose.

It’s the Warriors…they’ll have 80 clean strips under the basket and someone for them will be amazing and someone big for Boston will suck

GS in 6

Interesting game one. Celtics completely dominated the final several minutes. Warriors may have met their match. How about Al Horford 

I turned it off when the Warriors went up by 11 fully expected a blowout. Pleasantly surprised this morning. 

Reading some twitter

Karl Malone at age 17 had twin kids with a 17 year old girl….ok, this happens. Not a story….but at age 20 he got a 13 year old pregnant and that baby went on to play in the NFL?

Is this true and how has this never been mentioned?

It’s true. I believe it was talked about in The Last Dance as well. It’s pretty crazy how popular he was but also such a piece of shit. I think it demonstrates how fortunate it was for him he played before social media. 

It’s been mentioned. It’s one of the reasons he lives as a recluse in SLC woods. The story came out, he never really addressed it, retired and never spoke to it.

He’s a POS and if you follow the NBA closely, has been called out for it.

Draymond Green is a Mega Douche. His act gets so old.

Quin Snyder has coached the Jazz for 8 seasons? Might’ve missed that guess by 5 years lol

He and Poole should both be out

Also Mark Jackson simping for the Warriors is so ridiculous.  

One of those nights for Golden State. Outscored Boston by 21 in third quarter.

So, based on what I saw last night, Draymond should come out and get a technical in the first minute. He can then play dirty the rest of the game with no reprecussions because the officials "don't want to influence the game with an ejection."

I didn’t hear what Jackson, JVG, and Javie were saying in the moment but the gist of it was if Draymond didn’t already have that first technical, then the altercation with Jaylen Brown was probably an easy double tech and keep it moving? 

Draymond is a tool. I’m not gonna go out of my way to watch him. Once GSW destroyed the third quarter I turned it off. No interest in watching either team dominate.

I think whoever wins game three wins the series. 

Haven’t been watching, but it seems that nba Twitter has finally discovered that GSW’s offense is heavily aided by illegal screens.

Everyone on Twitter said Cleveland fans were crying too much back in 15-18

This shit is unwatchable.  Ref ball everytime GS gets in trouble.  

Well, Boston got their final win

Didn’t get to watch much of it. Internet has been acting up tonight.

Wins by 12, 19, and 16. Thrilling. This series sucks.
