I’m just glad the 76ers lost. I can’t stand Harden or Philly Fans

 

Jimmy Butler da-MAN!

[moonslav59]

43 minutes for Harden. 11 pts. No free throws.

 

Cancer.

 

Nuff said.

Game 7 tomorrow is going to the best game of this series, and that is saying something.

I don't know what the numbers are , but it seems to me that the home team has done very well in NBA game sevens. Celts win.

I believe, both the Celtics and Bucks are 2-1 at home in this series.

 

Sunday's game is in Milwaukee.

1. Both teams are 1-2 at home.

2. Sunday's game is in Boston.

Yes, I had everything backwards.

Go Celtics!

[moonslav59]

Go Celtics!

 

Yes! Go on vacation, Celtics!

 

Go Bucks!

[Thunder]

I'm expecting an all time classic. Winner will likely at least play in the Finals, if not win it.

[dgalehouse]

I hate to say I told you so, but .......... Well, that is not at all true. I love to say I told you so. Celts win.

[Thunder]

Great series, moon

[moonslav59]

Congrats to the Celtics. They have built a fine team with more good pieces than my Bucks. They earned this series win.

 

Not having Middleton hurt the Bucks, but we still had our chances.

 

I never expected Grant Williams to be the 7th game difference maker, but the Celts have done this over and over. Another game, it was Horford.

 

You guys have nice support people beyond your solid 3: Tatum, Brown & Smart.

 

Bets of luck. Just don't let the Warriors win it all. I think you'll beat the Heat.

[Jasonbay44]

This performance by the Suns tonight in game 7 is absolutely pathetic.

27 points at halftime might be a record for a game seven…

[moonslav59]

Jimmy Butler sure comes to play, when the season is on the line.

[Bellhorn04]

Celtics-Warriors.

 

I really have to make an effort to watch some of these games.

[Thunder]

So, Game 6 of the Finals will be the night before my next CPA exam, across the street from my next CPA exam. Can we wait until Game 7 to win it? Or just sweep. Thanks

Big 4th quarter for the Celts. Big win!

 

As much as I dislike the Celtics, I dislike Golden State more.

I am biased since I actually am a Celtics fan, but I have to imagine it is fun to be in Boston right now if you are just a sports fan in general. Everybody is following this series. Everybody. I have 6 radio stations saved as presets in my car. None of them are sports talk stations, but all of them were providing their own analysis about the game yesterday.

I didn’t think Steph Curry would be able to play since he’s been kidnapped by the Muppets…

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Out of all the good players to be drafted in the last five years or so, of course the Celtics found the next Carmelo Anthony. (that's not a compliment)

This aged tremendously.

[Bellhorn04]

A well-deserved win for the Warriors.

 

They join the Red Sox as teams to win 4 titles this century.

[moonslav59]

Curry certainly is worthy of all the praise he gets, but for some reason, it seems way over the top.

[Bellhorn04]

He scored 43 points in Game 4 and 34 last night. He delivered the goods at crunch time. What more can you ask?

[Old Red]

Put Curry on the C’s, and Tatum on GS, and the C’s win easy.

Yes, he's "certainly worthy of all the praise he gets." What more can I say?

 

I'm just tired of hearing so much gushing praise that seems endless and way over the top. More than Lebron got. More than Kobe and others.

 

I get it: what's not to love, and maybe it's just me. I'm not even a Celtics fan, but the gushing was sickening, to me.

Maybe it's because he still kind of looks like a little kid, even with the facial foliage.

 

I'm not a Steph lover but he did impress me in this series.

He's very impressive. I get that. I'm bothered by the over-the-top gushing and fawning over him.

 

Maybe I'm wrong about previous stars not getting the same treatment, but it seems excessive, to me.

Jordan was gushed over, I think, and Bird and Magic before him. What they all have in common is the "c" word-charisma.

 

Lebron doesn't have it as much, nor did Kobe or Tim Duncan.

 

That's a very off-the-cuff assessment!
