Really cool to hear Kerr say those things. Hopefully this is just the beginning for Wiggs.

Pritchard was a pretty good pick for Boston.

It's crazy how good some franchises are at identifying talent. Straus from Miami is another.

Tatum with a great first half. Shocked Boston is hanging this tough in game 1 short handed.

Second half is kinda how I expected.
Without two starters at Miami.

Yes. Of course Brown has a big 2nd half and Tatum goes cold.

They have to find a way to get both of those guys clicking at the same time.

Great first half by wiggins. I thought dallas may give them issues. Now i am wondering if this might only go 4 or 5 games.

Wiggs’ D, in the few games i’ve watched, has been outstanding, and as enjoyable to watch as anything on the offensive end

Players over 20 mpg and 40 games played this season, ( to weed out a couple outliers with only a few games played or situational role players on 2nd team units ) Wiggs is top 20 ( 17th ) in DEF Rating.

Smart is listed as "probable" and Horford has been upgraded to "available".

That's big.
With both those guys, I think the Celtics can steal G2.

What the fuck is this even as a sport. Heat wins by 11 two nights ago.

Now they're losing by 25. This is the final 4 of professional basketball players.

This is my third year of watching this shit product. I'd think every game should be within 5-10 points at this stage of the playoffs. If the players cared.

What am I missing here?

We kinda put a beat down on Nova in the Final Four.
Did they not care?

Blow out.

Also I don’t quite get how Horford could be back so quickly. I thought you were supposed to quarantine for five days?
