As a Celtics fan the fact that Dave Portnoy is super sad definitely brings me some relief. Every dark cloud!
Going to be getting a super max contract too.
Heh this is how I felt when I had the realization that prizminferno most likely lost his mind when the Bruins got bounced. Silver linings and all that.
Heās been incredibly overrated this year and this is coming from someone who believes he is the most fun player to watch when heās dialed in. But thereās a reason his on/off numbers were so bad

27th in 3-point % during the regular season btw.
F in the chat.
Yeahā¦ he might have the biggest gap between individual skill and team play of any āstar.ā
How many times can someone help off the wrong guy, get back cut by a scrub, get stripped from behind, go 1 v 3+, or brick a momentum-killing logo 3?
Only third (wtf) lowest scoring regular season team (finishing last) to make the finals.
Miami is so crazy.
A bit weird, but I guess the way I make sense of it is that if you have a team with a killer defense, you donāt need to score a ton and then you just shut it down early every game with a comfortable lead. Seems like this may have been more possible in the past than it is with the current NBA.
This is why Iām fine with the Celtics running it back. They lost, deservedly (and even if they won, I think Denver smacks them). But weāve gotta recognize an all-time heater when we see one.
Game 7 Bucks vs. Celtics last year - Grant Williams hit 7 threes, but he took 18, sub 40%, Cs won by a billion, it didnāt really matter. Caleb Martin shot 49% from 3 for the series. It wasnāt even wide open shots - he made 60% of his shots where NBA.com lists the defense as Tight. The Grant outlier is no where near what we saw from Martin.
Mazzulla might be a bum and Tatum/Brown might not be a good enough top two, but Iād give them all another year. Maybe they play Miami again next year, but Herro is healthy, and the Heat win in 4 by a billion, then make a big move.
The Jaylen turnover stuff is painful. I always thought it was his tiny little baby hands, but apparently Durant has Trump hands, too, and heās not a turnover box.
Nuggets in five is my feeling for the finals.
gonna be a long four games with Mark Action Jackson! (ā¦Maybe five? the only time a Spo teamās ever been swept was two years ago vs the bucks when JFB shot 29% for the series.)
Iām trying to relearn french maybe thereās a french feed. Surprisingly hard to find one for the premier league; if anybody knows how please tell me
Heat just physically outmatched at almost every position. No answer whatsoever to Gordon just dunking over people.
Martin and strus going 0/12 doesnāt help either
Jackson is so bad heās inspiring people to relearn languages to get away, Van Gundy would use that line on him.
Maman, voilĆ cet homme
rip max strus career
There goes his payday.
Martin going from Kobe to benched has me on tilt.
martin is last week. now itās all about haywood highsmith of Wheeling Jesuit University
Mark Jackson: āFor the people tuning in to see this guy play for the first timeā¦ā
GFY
i mean he might be the 6th most valuable player in mark jackson opinion. thatās nothing to sneeze at
