Yup. That felt like a lot more than the first game of a first round playoff series.

This is going to be essential viewing.

Tatum is the truth.

RogerGodahell · 04-17-2022, 05:15 PM

That was a great pass from Smart in that chaotic sequence. Gotta give him a lot of credit on that play as well.

RogerGodahell · 04-17-2022, 05:19 PM

Most teams would have called a timeout 9/10 times on that final possession. Worked out for the Celtics this time not calling one. Made the ending even better.

IndyKMB · 04-17-2022, 05:26 PM

So glad the Celtics won that game.

Kyrie is some kind of special garbage. So sick of listening to his condescending/arrogant comments and then seeing him do things like he did on the court today (the bird).

Best revenge is seeing him take the "L".

I can't stand him either but damn he's good

And that's the problem with him.

He has so much talent...kids are watching him.
They want to be like Kyrie and as their role model his act is on full display.

Respect the game and your opponents.
When fans boo and give you crap, light up the scoreboard and let that do your talking.

Onepocketj · 04-17-2022, 05:44 PM

Didn't think this would be much of a game and it's starting out that way

tjforce · 04-17-2022, 05:52 PM

Giannis unbelievable early

bigjbasketball · 04-17-2022, 05:54 PM

At least we got one good game today. Bucks-Bulls is already headed towards another blowout and it’s doubtful that Suns-Pels will be competitive.

pingbling23 · 04-17-2022, 06:13 PM

Just caught up on the Celtics/nets game after having to take a break. Wow what a defensive stand leading up to the game winner. So glad it worked out for the Celtics. The refs were terrible. If a team is going to get special treatment it should at least be the home team.

Best player in the NBA and seems to find a way to kick it up a extra gear in playoffs.

Kyrie will some day walk off the edge of his flat earth.

I love Shaq and Barkley telling him to man up and stop whining.

Onepocketj · 04-17-2022, 07:07 PM

Man, what are the Bucks doing? Just letting them stay in this game

hairyangryfella · 04-17-2022, 07:15 PM

I may have missed it as I haven't been watching but do the Bulls still have a challenge? If so, why the hell would you not challenge that offensive foul on Lavine??? It's his 4th, the basket was good otherwise, and Middleton was surely still moving sideways...

The Middleton/ Holiday special so far.

Shooting 33 and 22% respectively

tjforce · 04-17-2022, 07:22 PM

They just sat Giannis for 3 mins and Chicago went on a 11-0 run.

Giving me LeBron Cavs vibes

Definitely wrote this too soon and glad I kept the game on. Coby White to the mooooon!

They get a pass for carrying the bucks to the finals last year when Giannis was out.

tjforce · 04-17-2022, 07:27 PM

Giannis comes in, the next 2 mins they go on a 10-2 run

daeve · 04-17-2022, 07:28 PM

Bucks big 4 are 3-17 from 3... would actually be impressive if they win despite that. They need to run a few curl patterns for Wes or Bobby P

Ohh,, they've had some great performances.

But they are very hit or miss. What keeps guys like those two from being superstars is consistency. Great to have around a superstar like Giannis tho.

NeedChapmans · 04-17-2022, 07:38 PM

Ohhh boy. Giannis playing this one into a Chicago miracle right now.

Crazy how poorly Chicago is shooting to be right there. For some reason, game 1's for Milwaukee to kick things off go horribly wrong. A real chance Chicago isn't swept!
