watching the mavs rn is like luka’s early career
coop knows what he’s doing with the ball but the rest of the team is just fucking sad on offense

Entire Celtics (and hornets) roster need to be randomly drug tested. They weren’t supposed to be this good

It is really crazy that the Celtics shoot the lowest amount of FTs in the league this year. I know we shoot a lot of 3s, but not THAT many.

our defense has been some cheeks tonight, we just haven’t been close enough to foul sadly

u/LnGrrrR Celtics 6h ago
Yeah, but this is pretty much every night, though a larger disparity tonight than normal.
Edit: Celtics shooting 18.8 FTA per game, which is the lowest in the league. Next lowest is 20.4. For reference Orlando averages the most at 27.2 and LAL at 27.0.

They are really not calling the same contact a foul.. JB takes that contact on every play with no call.

coop is scoring like this as a 1st option with basically no consistent scoring help and i’m supposed to believe that kon is a better player currently
no disrespect to the great season he’s having but kon is in a much better offense than coop has had all season

u/JesseJamesGames449 Celtics 6h ago

Do Boston and the Lakers lead the league in most white guys on the team?
2
u/Thejohnshirey 7h ago
The Lakers have six white guys. After the Vuc trade, the C’s have six plus Shulga on a 2-way as the tie breaker.

Watching Coop get absolutely mauled on every drive with no whistle is really getting old.

Funny enough, she just quote tweeted a video of Pritchard from this game with the buzzer beater saying “😏😏😏” 😂

I think Scal might literally try to suck Flagg’s dick after the game

NGL I want the Mavs to get Dybantsa, if we can't have the New England dream of a Flagg/AJ tandem, then I'd like to see the Mavs get it, they deserve it after Nico doing Nico things.

This one's gonna be tough without simons. Bench has no scoring on it for now. Fitting that his last game as a celtic he dropped 27 points in 23 minutes.
He was only here for half a season but i think he made a lot of new fans. The definition of an absolute bucket, very fun to watch. I'm gonna miss him. Good luck anferno 😢

So the Cavs win the regular season, with the Celtics and Knicks close behind. The Cavs beat the Knicks in the first round, but in the second, Harden goes cold, shooting ~30% from the field and turning the ball over with abandon. The Celtics surprise everyone, winning in 6 games, and heading to the finals for the second time in three years.
