Simmons is going nuts on Twitter. If they find him dead tomorrow, OD'd on coke, don't act surprised.

Those fans are taking this loss a tad hard.

I know but it's true.
Same for me. When/if I die of an overdose, I want you to have everything Randolph.
I'll take that hot take, but realistically I think we can win a round of the playoffs, depends on the matchups.
Nobody would tease on the internet!

It's a coin flip at this point.
My problem are these fans acting shocked that the Warriors lost after playing like ass for 42 minutes.
As if the kid has never seen them lose at home since he started watching the team.
I'm glad the Celtics won, because they deserved to with the way they played. Warriors can't be getting wins where they turn the ball over 20+ times and get away with no call fouls. I hope it fires them up to actually play well for a full game next time.

I fucking hate the celtics but goddamn Brad Stevens is a genius.
Totally agree. They've been able to overcome the slippage lately, but it bit them in the ass tonight. Can't play bad and expect to win.
I'm just hoping they'll tighten things up once the playoffs start (and they really need Andre back).

They just have to win 5 out of 6 with two away games. Both away games against teams either depleted by injury (Memphis) or sitting all their best players (Spurs). Given what I've seen from this team, I'd say that's better than 50/50 unless they completely fall apart.

Brad Stevens is god
Surprised they won to be honest
Ainge has the money X pics to create a Celtics vs Warriors finals for the next few years
Lebron shook
The Warriors owner shook - dumbass talking shit will curse them
Warriors lucky the Spurs are resting everyone down the stretch

I love watching Steph, Draymond, and this team a ton but my god those fans in the Oracle were embarrassing. Those crowd shots near the end were cringe inducing. Acting like you never seen a Warriors loss or know how to handle a loss makes them look like a bunch of bandwagoners who only started paying attention when they won the title last year. Not a good look Oracle.
Crying over a regular season loss? In a game where the team was playing horrible most of the game and it was obvious the Warriors did not deserve to win the game?

Real talk: Boston better be making the Cavs sweat. Even though LeBron and co. has had their way with them as of late, I think their fortunes will be changing soon. This team could wind up as the #3 seed when the season ends, and they're already riding with a bit of confidence.
The East is going to be so much more fun than the west in the playoffs (outside of the conference finals, assuming Warriors/Spurs)
Cavs vs. Pacers: Cavs should easily win this.
Raptors vs. Pistons: Raptors probably will win, but they have a uncanny ability to choke in the playoffs and Stan Van Gundy is damn good in the playoffs. Storng upset potential here.
Heat vs. Celtics: I think this will be close, I think Celtics win but it really could go either way.
Hornets vs. Hawks: I think this one will be pretty close and could go either way. I lean Hakws though.
We have two matchups of Heat/Celtics and Hornets/Hawks that could easily go one way or the other and a match-up with a decent chance of an upset with Raptors and Pistons. Really the only match-up that seems like a forgone conclusion is Cavaliers and the Pacers.
Part of me wishes the Pistons fell to the 8th spot since they have pretty consistently outplayed Cleveland this season and could potentially upset them in the first round but Indiana has hit a slump and Pistons have been playing well so alas that looks like it wont happen.

Indiana has played bad lately, Cavs are lucky Pistons have jumped head of the Pacers in the standings.
I honestly would pick the Pistons over the Cavs in round 1, Pistons really outplayed in the regular season match-ups.
I think Toronto if they make it to the ECF would beat Cavs in 7 as well.
This is why the east playoffs are going to be so crazy. And unlike recent years none of the teams suck. All are above .500 teams. There is really no combination of any of the 8 teams where if they were the two in the ECF I would be shocked. Unlike the west where Warriors and Spurs will likely easily sail through round 1 and 2.
Hornets Pistons? I buy it. Celtics Pacers? Sure thing.

Guess not.
Either way whoever Miami plays they are going to give them hell, solid as hell team.
as of right now
east: pacers, pistons, hawks, and heat
west: grizzlies, trailblazers, mavericks, and jazz

Are the 15-16 Celtics better than the 95-96 Bulls?
did the 95-96 Bulls beat the 15-16 Warriors at Oracle? Checkmate.

You should watch more basketball, not every team is GS or The Spurs, the dominance shown by those 2 have a lot to do with half the teams in the West being hot garbage, teams usually have inexplicable bad performances during the season, but the larger sample of games and winning percentage of the Cavs are better cause they are the better team by a significant margin. It's like you claiming the superiority of anecdotal evidence above actual data and results. They have the better players and the better record cause they have a greater consistency at playing better basketball.

Let me just say, way to go Celtics! I had no hope of a win especially with the way this west coast swing was going but Coach Stevens and company came into Oracle and got the win. Way to go C's Would be nice to see them follow this up with beating the Lakers tomorrow but anything can happen (Lakers beat the Warriors earlier after all).

lmao love those guys
Few things trigger me more than seeing a Reagan shirt.
The refs had no control over that game the last few minutes. So many plays with bodies flying everywhere with no calls, it was crazy.
It really was ridiculous. Not going undefeated at home was a bummer, but come on. Like now they might only win 72 games. What a disaster!
If it's game 7 against the Spurs or something, then okay. But not during the regular season.
Pistons outplayed Cavs when they played each other this season so far. You can't deny that. KCP is a LeBron stopper, it isn't unreasonable. Not that it will matter, it look like Pistons aren't moving out of the 7th seed slot. It doesn't hurt that Cavs have played so hot and cold lately, I can't see them making it out of the East this year, the east is so much better than last year. It's going to be Toronto I think.
Not that it matters. Is there even a single Cavs fan who thinks they could beat GSW in the finals this year?
^^ But they still have a chance at it??
It's not the existence of bandwagons as that's every sport, every massive positive buzz that's fun to root for etc.
It's the shameful reaction to something that isn't, and shouldn't be, a big deal to anyone who follows a sport regularly.
It's frustrating because Oracle was always an amazing place to watch a game when the team was garbage. Always really full of energy, and this type of reaction just shows how far from those days the people going to the games are now.
I'm worried for the Warriors because they're now without Bogut, Ezeli, and have put in two shit performances back to back. Not a good way to finish a season for the playoffs, but they have some time to tighten things up and get back on track.

I don't think the East has gotten "better" perse, there's more mediocre teams, but the west still has way more heavy hitters
Also, the regular season is pretty much the most useless thing on earth in the NBA as teams like the Spurs have realized. I generally judge teams based off their theoretical best performance they could give because NBA players play at like 75-80℅ in the regular season
Hell Lebron is at his best currently when he's a post player, and he hardly ever plays in the post consistently in the NBA because that shit wears down your body
