I understand the mistrust of the Celtics after that awful last game but I think tonight they will stay locked in and I trust them completely against Philly, the playing down to opponents and blown leads against teams missing players they’ve exhibited in this series is similar to their regular season habits

 

Derrick White may be the most underrated player in the league.

 

no it’s jrue holiday didn’t you hear

 

Easily our third best player and seems to be a chill dude in general, huge improvement from last year too

 

Is it possible the Hawks are actually better than their record indicates ? They beat the heat easily in the playin on the road, plus this series… it’s not new for avg or bad regular season teams to look at least a little better when they lock in (coping for my sanity)

 

they’re quite literally the most average team in the league

 

I’m gonna give this one a little more to develop but if the energy doesn’t change I’m going full Drew, Celtics version

 

Tatum is an embarrassment and Jaylen should always be our number 1 option

 

I’m sure Trae Young is a pretty nice guy but I am so tired of looking at his face

 

Hawks have looked pretty good, especially considering that Dejounte Murray hasn't scored since game 4.

 

i wouldn’t be so sure lol

 

I’ll take the players their teams slander wildly, Giannis and Tatum with Dame will be killer.

 

Maybe Dame could show JT what it’s like to have a killer mentality, a mamba mentality if you will since JT loves Kobe so much

 

I’m liking Philly more and more next round as long as they don’t “play with their meat”

 

If the Celtics win tonight they are still gonna beat Philly imo because I do think they’ve been playing with their meat this round (certainly been jerking me around) but if it goes 7 then my hope is nearly lost

 

Trae's contest on that Marcus Smart three was one of the worst ones I've seen.

 

No seriously what is a foul

 

Another inconsistent game for the refs, really influences things much too much

 

refs are at their all time worst league wide

 

Agreed, they really have been in playoff form, but not the good way like when they’d let teams play once the playoffs got going, they’ve expanded their soft regular season calls into playoff form

 

its peak "imma make it about me"

 

Man Trae really does get generous calls lol

 

If they win this and lose G7 they'll finish with a 45-45 record lol

 

right i think they were also like 15th on offense and defense or something close to that and even on the road and at home

 

Ok…….I’m intrigued…….
