 I hope people fall for this meaningless crap so we can deal him for a real star or at least enough picks so we can find a real one. That's the first time anyone has led in all five categories in a playoff series - including all players from both teams- since LeBron in the 2016 finals And only the second time in 50 years. |

Draymond Green: “no one cares that they’re going back to the Eastern Conference Finals.” He’s kind of right lol. You know you’re far gone the hater bandwagon when you start agreeing with Draymond Green. |

Rjp my friend, THIS is a superstar game by Tatum. Great offense, but he’s so much more than a scorer. Terrific defense, stout rebounding, smart reads. Probably his best game in this postseason thus far, his defense really killed the game for good.

Tillman must be in really terrible condition if he isn’t getting playing time right now.

I don't sense hate anywhere. I see fans matching the potential talent to realization of it. I think Boston fans feel lucky he is on the Celts - and that the passion of being a fan leads to snap reactions during games. I’m not even among that crowd, I know Tatum is a terrific all around player. He isn’t simply a scorer. I just felt he was off yesterday from his usual standards. |

The hate Tatum gets from Boston fans makes me embarrassed to be a Boston fan. Guy is in the midst of his age 25 season, is phenomenal, still getting better, a great teammate, great off court (from what we can tell), amazing role model with son and works hard. Yet, he gets so much hate. Y’all would have run Jordan out of town before he had a chance to win his first title. I’m not just talking here, it’s online and on the radio, etc. I don't hate him at all, I love his all around game. Even in games he just chucks random bricks I don't hate, he comes up big elsewhere. I just thought he looked substandard last night both on offense and defense. Maybe his elbow is bothering him. |

I thought Tatum was atrocious, but Jaylen balled out of his mind. Overall a very weird game, felt like they were out of rhythm on offense. Mobley is quietly having a great series on defense and seems to be everywhere. We BADLY miss The Porzingod. Al has been solid, but Kornet is getting abused. Tatum was atrocious how? He’s the one guy who rebounds consistently for this team, and he and Jrue are the only reason the Celtics weren’t down at halftime. Maybe atrocious was too strong of a word, but he took FAR too many bad shots in the second half and I didn't think he was particularly sharp on defense either. He's an incredible rebounder and did start the game strong, so I'll just say he had a pedestrian game by his standards. |

Incredibly poor effort on defense, Cleveland isn’t beating you inside, stop giving them the line.

There have been some questionable calls in some of those blown leads in the regular season and it seemed to usually happen on the road. One of them I remember was against the Pacers where they called a foul on a play the Celtics were about to score then retracted the foul, then they did the same thing on the other end but in reverse and the Pacers won because of it. I know its not a popular opinion with serious sports fans but it happened again last night even though we won. The Celtics were getting mauled in that run where they put the game away and there were some pretty bad non calls. They also called a random offensive foul on Tatum at one point I think in the 3rd. Great win but completely agreed. Cavs kept hooking Tatum on drives uncalled. The one play Jaylen finished through Strus completely mauling him to no call was ludicrous. At the same time they just call less in general in the playoffs. Sometimes Tatum pushes off and doesn't get called either. I’m not one to partake in such discussions, but the offensive foul called on Tatum where Mitchell was grabbing him and the play where Mitchell egregiously shoved White made me call foul play. NBA must have realized nobody gives a crap about the Cavs during halftime and the fix was cancelled. |

Cleveland is not that bad of a team and the Celtics just got a double digit win pretty much wire to wire on the road in the postseason. Not sure what would get you excited, but it sounds expensive so good luck friend. It is very expensive. Like, well into the second tax apron expensive. It’s not our money anyway, so it’s free entertainment! |

And yet the Celtics lead by 14 as you type this. Don, these are just pointless posts. No one’s excited by second round wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers anymore. This isn’t Evan Turner and Jordan Crawford scrapping it out against superior opponents. We have all been waiting for years to see this team evolve and take a step in their maturation. Cleveland is not that bad of a team and the Celtics just got a double digit win pretty much wire to wire on the road in the postseason. Not sure what would get you excited, but it sounds expensive so good luck friend. |

Celts can't deal with a lead - the Js stop doing the things that work. They are so frustrating. Mitchell is the best player on the floor. And yet the Celtics lead by 14 as you type this. |

I don’t want you to be too pissed either. But this was defintely not “just one game.” This is a 5 year mix of brilliance and dog crap like tonight. This season has been kind of different, but they played like a #1 overall pick tonight instead of a #1 team. They need to smoke the Cavs in Game 3 to assert dominance. |

Definitely need to move on from whatever the hell that was. This group has been pretty resilient under Joe, so I’m hopeful for a game 3 bounce back. That second half was the worst they’ve played all season. Really perplexing Yeah, people will point to Game 2 against Miami, but they fought hard until the end on that one. This one they really packed it in once Mitchell hit that circus 3. Really concerning effort, but it’s just one game so I’ll try not to be too pissed off. |

Really, really terrible performance. It’s still just a game, but the disappearing act by Tatum is scary. Let’s see what happens in the next one.

That was about an easy of a win as they’re going to get in this run. Cleveland was probably tired and they flat out don’t have the size to match the Celtics. Nice to see the Cs play well across every quarter. Get The Porzingod healthy and let’s chip!

Wolf also said he had known who would go in the top two for weeks. So according to Wolf it wasn't if Maye wasn't there. That's why I find this so interesting. He also said the team rated the top 3 QBs as all worth the #3 pick, which is scary. Especially given he took Milton over Pratt and Leary. Add in the vague reports about trading up and his comments about the first 3 rounds went 100% according to plan. I'd add that if Wold needed other GMs opinions on Maye, that scares the heck out of me! To be fair, I think his comment on the 3 QBs was a political one, he can’t just say they got the best one, that’s a career killer waiting to happen. |

So.... how about them Timberwolves? The Porzingod returns and the Jays ball and we got them. |

Bucks and 76ers are both out, Philly in typical hilarious fashion with the fans booing Embiid for whatever reason. Good stuff.
