Celtics/NBA 2023-2024 NBA Finals begin June 6th at TD Garden - (1) Boston vs most likely Dallas

I enjoyed Tatum passing to JB for 3

I did not enjoy Tatum's dribbling to nowhere dumbass airball attempt

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Cav coach should be fired for not fouling JB.

Whatever, wins a win.

 

[GatorMike]

The key to a long, happy life is to find someone who loves you as much as the Celtics love playing with their food.

 

[CDJ]

Tatum had 33-11-5 and made all his FT, that’s a great game no matter how you slice it

As for this game, never in doubt

 

[lextune]

We should have won this game by 35, but I'll take the W.

This team just can't seem to ever make it easy on themselves. Year after year.

I still like us to make the Finals on pure talent, but then it's crap shoot.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Good win crazy that it’s the first single digit game all playoffs. Horford and White are ice cold from deep officially.

Brown and Tatum very good on both ends.

Not sure we’ll play a close game against an Eastern team tbh.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

next: OKC @ DAL

 

[EverettMike]

The worst playoff win you will ever see.

 

[Mione134]

The worst playoff win you will ever see.

Yup. But I'll take it. But yeesh

Lol

Close it out Wed.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Might be true but it's not really fair to the Celtics. Best team in NBA all season. It's not like they are #3 seed watching injuries ravage #1 and #2.

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

They earned their easy path by being the 1 seed. Celtics are missing Porzingis as well but have the depth to not let one injury kill them.



Also give me a break with Jarrett Allen lmao, polar bear in Arlington. Guy averages 9.7/8.5/1.7 for his career against Boston. He's a solid player but Mobley is better and Allen being out lets him thrive. They averaged 91.5 points against Orlando in the four games Allen and Mobley were healthy. Playoff time with two bigs who can't shoot is a negative.

 

[CDJ]

Cavs did the only thing they could do and spammed 3’s. They took 48. Defense held them to 31%. Good enough!


It’s a playoff win on the road in a game in which they played with the lead the entire time and closed out stronger than the team with the crowd on its side

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Thunder win; IND/Knicks & MIN/DEN tonight

 

[shelbysdad]

Cav coach should be fired for not fouling JB.

And Brown should not have been on the floor.......

 

[N o o d l e s]

And Brown should not have been on the floor.......

A max player who shouldn’t be on the floor to hit free throws. Imagine it, oh wait it’s real

 

[CDJ]

He’s literally been their best player this series, what on earth are we bitching about?

He’s getting 27 and 7 on 61% shooting and 80% from the line. 44% from deep.

Fans are just speaking with emotions not stats. Some Boston Fans, myself included don't like Jaylen Brown for other than stats.

Go Celtics

 

[JRull86]

Well, just like that Denver has a 3-2 lead and has dominated for 3 straight games.

Could argue maybe the best player all season

Well, just like that Denver has a 3-2 lead and has dominated for 3 straight games.

That is who they are, so much respect for them

 

[EverettMike]

Please close it out tonight and do it easily.

Get some rest. Buy KP more time. Don't drive me insane.

Nope Celtics in 6, you know damn well that’s what you’re getting

[JRull86]

Most likely no Mitchell again tonight.

No excuse to not bury the Cavs at home tonight.

The announcer literally said Cleveland made a huge mistake by not fouling Jaylen Brown

He’s been great I’m just pointing out how crazy that is
