Great game until overtime, but lots of tense moments then, too.

The Spurs you've come to know are getting old. Its hard to replace Duncan and young Parker and Ginobli . They will beat the Rockets and hopefully at least give the Warriors a challenge.
Fuck most GS fans bunch of bandwagoners ask them about Run TMC and they look confused.
That last fucking block from the back, tho'. It was a thing of beauty. Anyone has the gif?

We need to keep Thomas. Dude KNOWS his worth - I hope he doesn't ask for an ungodly amount of money to stay.

He's good but they really need someone better than him, he just too bloody small to be effective in the playoffs. it's a shame they didn't snag KD last year that would have been good to see.

IT is a poor man's Allen Iverson. Would be amazing as an off-the-bench heat check kinda player but if he remains the main focus of Boston's offense and they pay him the max, they're doomed to be LeBron's bitch for the next 5 years. He's more or less useless on defense (the Wizards took turns scoring on him in the post after game 2) and he's not a particularly good point guard (passing/floor vision/etc.). He can just shoot the lights out when he gets hot.
If they were smart, they'd trade him now while he has great value and get assets to surround Fultz with cuz right now their team is like IT and a bunch of good role-players.

As a Celtics fan, I would trade IT in a heartbeat for someone bigger but doesn't score as much. IT has heart but not size. Now that the team has #1 pick and can draft Fultz, it makes even more sense to trade IT next year.

Best sports pic I've seen in a while, holy shit.
edit: video of the same play is here a little ways down.
edit again: Sounds like the thought is that Jaylen Brown is the likely trade chip if the C's move someone. I guess that would make for at least an outside possibility of getting a core 4 of IT, Hayward, Fultz, and either Paul George or Jimmy Butler. That's bonkers. Oh yeah they'd still have Horford too. Small as hell but that's a crazy starting five.

Jaylen was the only bright spot on Wednesday. I would keep him for the rookie contract and see if he develops into an Avery Bradley replacement (since he will most likely gone from FA). I was impressed with Hayward in the playoffs, not so much with Butler. Sign Hayward, draft Fultz, and maybe package Olynyk, Bradley, Crowder and next year's draft pick (Brooklyn's pick like this year) for someone stupid enough to do the deal (Butler/George).

What's the fine for forfeiting a series? Celtics should consider it.
Hey, it's all good.
It was accepted that we were never going to beat Cleveland.
At least the Patriots are still champs. Y'all are just hater fagits.

Celtics losing IT should just play the bench now. Give their other players value moving into the off season.
The past few years have seen a lot of playoff time bounty hunting. From Olynyk trying to rip off Kevin Love's arm last year, and Green trying to kick him in the nuts, or the Hawks trying to slap John Wall's fractured left hand, and this year the warriors dude taking out Kawhi Leonard, and the Celtics seeing IT sidelined.
It's becoming a thing.

Or...they could try and win!
Geezzz Lebron was awful, worst I have ever seem him play in a playoff game. It's like he was scared to drive to the cup because someone was going to take him out. Credit to the Celtics, good fight back.

For me, the most important thing is that the smug-faced Warriors get bounced. I only see the Cavs pulling that off.
Kevin Durant should never win a title. He's a fraud.

LeBron is still the most insufferable.
He refers to himself as King James, and even tattooed it on his fucking neck. That's like a layered burrito of self absorbed cock jockery.

it's not like he knows how to read any of the shit people have tattooed on him.
