NBA 2021-22---- NBA LEGEND Bill Russell 1934-2022 RIP

First game the Bucks truly missed Khris Middleton.  Bucks were gassed and old man Horford couldn’t miss.

It feels like the Celtics are in the drivers seat, but as they say, it isn’t over until it’s over.

but as they say, it isn’t over until it’s over.

Yeah, I don't think either side will be comfortable until it's actually over.

[King Postwhore]

Feels like the Bucks went to iso ball instead of moving, passing snd hitting the open guy.

No doubt about it.  Amazing how complacent teams can get during games after going on runs.

[Dublagent66]

Yeah, looks like the Suns are doing the same thing this year.  They get home court advantage, go up 2-0 and then drop 2 on the road.  Can't get at least 1 game on the road?

A question to gauge my family's sanity.

My wife is a lifelong Celtics fan (born and raised in the Albany, NY area).  Since I don't have any basketball allegiance, my son also adopted the Celtics as his team, and he and my wife have been regularly watching the Celtics playoff games.

When I got home yesterday, the two of them were livid.  I don't remember exactly where the game was, but the Celtics were down by maybe 6-8 with a ton of time left.  They were screaming about how the Celtics have to beat both the Bucks and the refs.  There was one ref in particular they were bitching about.  At one point my son walked into the room where I was, and I asked how he was doing.  His response was somewhere along the lines of, "miserable.  I have never been so mad about a game I wasn't playing in.  I just want to punch something."  Not long after that, they were whooping it up because the Celtics took the lead for good.

I usually write off/ignore my wife's (mostly) whining about refs.  I believe that she truly believes some refs are biased and that games are fixed.  I find it hilarious that she thinks everyone is anti-Celtic, which is a bit like suggesting that the MLB is anti-Yankee.  Is there really anything to this -- particularly with respect to yesterday's game?

Before last night, the Celtics were 2-10 in playoff games reffed by that guy last night.

[TheOutlawXanadu]

Two words: Al Horford. The dude literally got back at Giannis dunking on him by dunking on him even harder.

[King Postwhore]

To add, earlier in the series, the C's were getting call for fouls that Giannis was not so that make some fans go into a tizzy. Even I bitched early on when the announcers called a travel by Giannis a "Jump Stop."  The C's started to get the calls in the second half like Brown traveling but not called. The C's being physical like Giannis and not getting called for fouls in the second half calmed most fans down.

Did you ask if they wanted a little cheese with that whine?    In the game of basketball, being down less than 10 pts with a reasonable amount of time left isn't a death sentence.  Even without 3 pt shots it's surmountable. 

[T-ski]

The next game the fans don’t complain about the refs will be the first. It’s almost as if we can’t fathom our teams losing to another without admitting we actually weren’t good enough to win.

[T-ski]

RIP Bob Lanier.

[King Postwhore]

Damn.  R.I.P.

[Azyiu]

What a depressing news, RIP

Gag on it, Celtics.

How are your wife and son doing? 

[King Postwhore]

Fudge.

[T-ski]

I rather enjoyed that.

[King Postwhore]

 

As you should!

[TAC]

I like fudge!

[King Postwhore]

I like fudge!

Easy Felger.

[KevShmev]

Hard to trust a team who has a player with green hair.

[TAC]

That's a smart observation.

[King Postwhore]

And I hate him bitching after both plays when A) he was cleanly blocked and B) cleanly had his pocket picked

How are your wife and son doing? 

I wasn't home yesterday evening.  A friend and I had dinner at a sports bar and then went to the Long Beach State baseball game.  When we left the bar, the Celtics were up.  When I got home, my son said, "if you see red sauce near the cat's bowls, that was me."  I asked what happened, and he said "Celtics."  I think I'm glad I wasn't home.

How about that James Harden. Biggest cancer to any team he’s on.

[Azyiu]

No more Harden this season? I love it... but just 11 points (no points in second half) in an elimination game? He put up no fight, man. He is definitely going to opt-into his $47+M deal, but he doesn't deserve not even third of that. I think it is a combination of the new rules and his age finally caught up to him.

[TAC]

Why Jeff Van Gundy is the best...

"You've got some experienced floppers in this game". 

[King Postwhore]

Seriously.

[King Postwhore]

Giannis is a Colt 45 commercial in the 70's with every drive to the bucket

[TAC]

The Celts are going to gag another one away, but holy shit, Giannis fucking travels on practically every play.

[faizoff]

The last Bucks-Celtics game was wild and it's looking the same tonight.

[King Postwhore]

The Celts are going to gag another one away, but holy shit, Giannis fucking travels on practically every play.

They just called in the act of shooting. Are the refs blind?
