OT: BOSTON CELTICS vs. CLEVELAND CAVALIERS (Eastern Conference Finals)

I'm watching Brady mattress and Alfa romeo ads on a perpetual loop...

People who claim that Bill Russell was the greatest basketball player of all time are like those weirdos who think that someone like Johnny Unitas is still the greatest QB of all time. Sorry but they've been passed by quite a bit.

As have you. Forward thinking people understand that physically Bill Russell was nowhere near the athletic specimen that Jordan was or James is. However, denigrating his will to win, his clutch play in absolutely the most pressure-packed situations and his unparalleled leadership make those who do so look childish and idiotic. Anyone who diminishes him and his accomplishments based upon the era in which he played should be embarrassed.

Lol Chuck saying next LeBron title puts him on Kobe's level. LeBron is better at every aspect of the game except maybe post scoring.

Correct. And it isn't close.

BTW, Russ would have stuffed Jordan and James - check some of the old highlights and see Russell was no slouch athletically

Hey man, I remember when 'Toine made that record six threes in one playoff quarter...still the record (eat your heart out, MJ) Saw him at old General Cinema in Framingham back in the day, catching a movie

Anyway, Cavs have been on fire from beyond the arc; otherwise this is a really tight game. Let's see if they can keep it up; Celtics can't keep shooting this poorly all night.

Horford is afraid of the ball

I don't have to. I saw him play in person dozens of times.

Trap game coming in Cleveland! Perfect opportunity to steal a game with Thomas being out. If nothing else itll allow us to go bigger against the Cavs.

Pleaseeee more Terry Rozier, less Marcus Smart

I'd like to see Boston go more up tempo and drive to the basket more. This should open things up from outside. Not impressed with Cleveland; I expect them to lose if they advance to the finals. Celtics need to cut the deficit down to 8 by the end of the third quarter...This is really the most important game of the series.

If you're "not impressed by Cleveland", I want loads of what you're smoking, snorting or drinking. Actually, I want all three...

There should be an option to forfeit series when you are grossly over matched.

 

[varjao]

Celtics can't get one ****in rebound.

 

[kennyb]

If the celts lose by less than 20, huge moral victory. Go celts!

Way to battle back. Loved that third quarter. Would be really nice to keep this game within 10. Dare I believe we could win this game?
