i hate LeBron for this because it means Kevin Love's streak of not losing an Eastern Conference playoff game played in the United States is finally over

unless we can get Canada to retroactively annex northeast Ohio

that means they'd have two teams to root for! help me out here, Trudeau
 
That was pretty awesome, I was watching at my girlfriend's and once they started getting back from that 21 hole I knew it was on. When Bradley shot somehow dropped I went crazy and nearly pulled a muscle running around like an imbecile.

WOOO

someone still needs to explain that meme to me because I think I missed the bus on it

Fan brought a toaster for Dray and Klay to sign. It went viral because Klay made a confused face looking at it.

Since then, the Warriors have won every game except one, but Klay was DNP-rest for that game, so ... #ToasterSZN
 
Also, hot taking really hard here, but maybe the Cavs peaked too soon? They didn't play a bad game at all, but they just didn't have that same unbeatable vibe going on.

No, they got a bit cocky and eased the gas. If they end up going to face the Warriors in the Finals it's good for them to lose now, it's a reality check.

That didn't look like easing the gas, ridiculous shots just stopped dropping and their defense looked exploitable as it has always been.
 
At least they got their one game in before LeBron goes Ham the next two games.

Well this is a guarantee. This Celtics squad has no business holding LBJ to 11 points. Which leads me back to the conversation in another thread where people who never saw MJ play called James a better player.

Consistency is what separates MJ from everyone else. Sure Michael had some stinkers as well, but 11 points? Against a team like this? Unacceptable. It's like the Dallas series all over again, although just one game.

People on twitter are saying Cleveland came out pre-game to the Monstar theme?? Lmao.

I'm just imagining twitter if the Warriors did that. Haters would be rioting in the streets.

I wish they would.

Also have Steph hit threes from half court when the game is already done. Go full villain please.
 
TNT was showing Lebron pissed off about his warm up shooting at some point during the game, it definitely translated over to the actual game also.
 
congrats Celtics-GAF incredible win, this isn't similar to Raptors last year at all. No comparison. Raptors are a joke when playing Cavs at home.

Horford won a ECF finals game.
I thought the dude was gonna go 0-8 with the sweep.
1-6

Tonight just told me one thing


Celtics are taking fultz and IT is gone/sign and trade for more players. IT could be worth a lot to the right buyer

Maybe. Though I don't know if it's fair to judge his value off one game where he didn't play and the backup hits seven or eight 3's as if that could be his usual production.
 
One of the many things that turns me off about this team.

LBJ will answer any question that media throws at his way after a loss. Just kidding. He will either go hiding or lash out at a reporter. He doesn't like controversy one bit.

Lebron teams have always muddled the line between normal anger and unsportsmanlike behavior. It's natural because he's a very competitive guy, but it leads to random acts of douchebaggery.

That's a bad excuse. MJ was competitive and a complete douche, but he could keep his mouth shut and stay classy in post game interviews. It's not that difficult. One of the most frustrating things about LBJ is his sensitivity to controversy. Lead against Dallas and make fun of Dirk because of the flu? Funny. Someone asks about it after the game when they lose? Not funny, don't know what you are talking about.

Easy to be the King when you win by 40. Yet can't handle himself when something goes wrong.

I agree with everything except that last part. I doubt the Celtics could get a lot for IT. Too short, too old, too expensive.

boston's 18th championship :)

Zo gonna drop a 3 point buzzer beater over Fultz and win the chip

LA will collectively riot so hard boston will feel the effects and you guys are gonna lose two championships because of that
