Boston clunking from deep, but doing excellent in the flop department. This game is a grinder
 
Why is it that players like Josh Hart and Derrick Jones Jr got better after leaving Portland?
 
I someday hope Scoot is like Payton Pritchard. A contributor on a team playing in the Finals.

Jones Jr developed. Hart played great for us. I didn’t see him get any better on the Knicks.
 
I did not see Jrue being the leading scorer for the Celtics as an option?

Agree about Josh Hart. Don't think DJJr developed that much, he just started playing next to two all-world point guards. That simplifies the game a lot for role players.

Bullshit. White’s block was goaltending and Brown fouled him. Should’ve been 2 point game.

Definitely should have been called a foul there.
 
Series going to be over quick.

Back in the Olshey days, I offered up a trade CJ McCollum for Porzingus. Everyone (Not this forum) screamed at me, told me I was a bad Blazer fan, and began tearing up Porzingus like one of the worst players in the league.

.... years later, I watched Porzingus dominate game 1 of the NBA finals.

I'm sure he would also have done that if we'd traded for him, and also done it for Boston, who would've offloaded some shit on us for him.
 
That will be wild if Jrue wins finals MVP.

Can't think of any similar situations in NBA history where a player is the 2nd or 3rd best guy on a title winning team, then traded for an "upgrade" at the position, then leads his next team to a title.

He's such an enjoyable player to watch on both sides of the ball. Even when Dame had some heroic performances I always had questions if that style of play could ever win a title. Dame had such horrible defense, ISO offense, difficulty against big wing defenders, and susceptibility to trapping.

Holiday has been my favorite PG in the league for awhile now.

atmosphere, sometimes there's more to sports then getting a Jody bag
 
I had to help my brother with some work. Who won, what happened? Did the Celtics cheat? They were cheating in the first half
