When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I think the ESPN crew would be pretty good if they just dumped Pierce

They had Jay Williams instead of Pierce for a while and it was much more listenable even though he has college basketball brain.

The GDTs are so much more pleasant with the playoff posters mostly ignoring this series for some reason.

He's on there now, he's fine but tries too hard sometimes.

Many notable basketball thinkers believe that if the Celtics simply started Grant they would be on their way to a sweep right now

If I saw Jae Crowder block Jaylen Brown I would also assume it had to involve a foul but that was pretty clean

If Celtics can keep the lead around 15 I think they can survive 4th quarter Jimmy Butler.

Can't let the Celtics go down 0-3 especially after the dramatic locker room narrative in play. The fix is loving in lol.

I mean you saw the thing in the first quarter where Tatum was clearly fouled, the call was missed, he complained, and they gave him a technical right

Bad calls happen

it was a bad initial call, but the tech was tatum’s fault the refs aren’t responsible for that entire 6pt swing

I would like to see some math on what level of lead makes it unlikely that a comeback will happen. I think it's somewhere between 15-18.

I think personally the problem is that the heat have given up a million turnovers that turn into fast break layups but hell yeah let's make literally every game a weird ref conspiracy what a fun way to watch sports
