    It was all on bitter display for the Garden faithful to witness

    Celtics need to make changes. They were clueless.

    How do the people who say, during just about any sport that has a series during their playoffs, that it "is obviously rigged and the league wants it to go seven games" feel today?

    I'm not sure "clueless" is the appropriate word but 22 to's and 15 off reb's is what needs fixing. Tatum did make history though by apparently being the first player to surpass 100 plus to's in the playoffs.

    That's not all his fault.
    He doesn't have a complete identity or role on the team.
    I explained this before....

    Tatum was a massive liability

    He is just in the good player category

    Regardless of age, he's been in the league 5 years. How long do you give him to find a role? Leave the kids at home and start getting serious.

    you just dislike because they have won 3 titles in the past 7 seasons and/or they are a Woke Organization.
    it's obvious why you dislike them.

    Whatever your political slant or previous titles won, the Warriors are the NBA's well-deserved CHAMPIONS.

    I say Boston did a terrific job getting to the finals.
    I also say that the more experienced team with the best shooter on the planet, beat a very young but talented team that'll be back better and stronger.

    Celts lucky to get that far. If the Bucks had Middleton for even part of that series they would have advanced, plus they had a decent shot to beat the Dubs.

    Boston had better talent

    GS had better experience and coaching

    Game 4 was where series was won/lost and experience and coaching is what ended up mattering more

    Boston bench sucks, white got Dad powers for a few games but after that wore off he was up there for worst player in finals with Pritchard, thought he could be the equivalent of Spencer dinwiddle but nope dinwiddle way better, him and Pritchard nearly gave GS 30 points in a elimination finals game ffs

    Yeah have never seen anybody own a team that bad as Middleton owning the Celtics, think that Middleton owns the record for highest point average when ball is in his hands Vs celtics
