My Dallas/Boston finals bet is still very live I guess.

Giannis lowkey not playing well. Missed a ton of lay ups in a row.
The fact that Bucks have no shooters with Middleton injured and Bud benching one of their best shooters for no reasons also means Celtics have been able to pack the paint and play Bad Boys pistons style defense of hammering the Bucks inside and daring refs to call a foul every time down the court.
Hopefully Bucks use this as motivation in the offseason like Jordan and the Bulls did to come back better. Hopefully Bucks management sees that they need new leadership to take advantage of having the BPITL in his prime.
Iâll never get what Lopez is arguing about in that situation. U grabbed a man and pulled the man and got caught. STFU and play ball.
Jokic best player in the world
Lmao cmon man
Middleton looks sad. Thatâs got to suck thinking your injury may have cost your team that much.
If he were still on the roster, would you have played Rodney Hood over Hill or Allen?
Top two seeds in the east. Yawn.
Hood played awful when he was on the Bucks roster this year. So probably not unless he turned it around late season.
If phoenix wins tonight, the top 4 DVOA teams in the league will be in the final four. Memphis is fifth and Dallas sixth.
Steph going to need to play at the level he was at the start of the season to beat this Celtics teams.
Would have been absolutely criminal for the Bucks to get reffed into the ECF. Cs are so much better than they are, refs got it to 7.

I forgot Philly and especially Milw tanked to avoid the Nets loloooolollo
Pretty clear they wanted to duck the nets.
I usually donât believe home court advantage is that huge but these playoffs have seemed like an exception because of the way reffing has been going. Posted before but foul calls during these playoffs are the highest theyâve been since 2010 when people barely shot 3s and lived in the paint.
This series seems to be the exception though because both teams won on the road a lot. Mightâve been the difference in a game 7 though. I think I read the home team wins game 7 90% of the time.
Each team won two on the road. I donât think home court mattered, especially when one team outscored the other from three by a couple hundred.
For whatever reason, there are some people who get off more on trolling a team that lost than celebrating their own team for winning. Donât let it bother you.
This season and this series makes me feel a certain amount of vindication. I have always been a strong supporter of Grant Williams, the nerdy goofball who loves Settlers of Catan, who chose playing basketball at Tennessee rather than going to Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, much to the disappointment of his NASA engineer mother. (Williams says she would speak to him for a couple of months after he made his decision.)
When he was drafted, I wanted him more than Matisse Thybulle. I said that Grant would be more likely to be the better Williams on the Celtics (and I still think heâll have a better career than Rob).
Last summer, I was very combative on the Internet in support of Grant Williams. I even thought of myself as the president of Grant Williams Island. A lot of Celtics fans wanted to trade him or cut him. They just wanted him gone. And I argued that they were being ridiculous and that, actually, Grant deserved consideration for the starting lineup because how well the player he could be would fit into the positionless defensive lineup that I craved, one that was finally unlocked when the Celtics finally trusted Marcus Smart to be the full-time point guard without a non-switchable guard on the floor beside him.
Marcus Smart is my favorite Celtic, but Grant Williams has grown to be my number two.
