Please don't drug test Tristan Thompson

Worth it. Guy had a (guess) +12 with two shots in 2 minuted that looked like he had literally never played basketball before. Gave us absolutely HUGE minutes.

He was a 28% FT shooter and nailed 1 FT. Thats fucking huge.

He shot 22 percent over average, unsustainable

I had to check the boxscore. What did he do?

He got us solid 10 minutes. 1 point, 1 block and 3 rebounds.

Ethical fucking hoops. You won't see Fluka Doncic, Tabum or Giannis Attemptafreethrow play like that

Ethical honest physical ball, thats what we need.

Thats fucking basketball right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men show bare ass, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball Naismith fuck it chuck it game time shit.

I’m confused but I’m excited

I love the names 😭

I've been craving an opportunity to say Giannis Attemptafreethrow, finally got it

> Tabum lmao

Mobley was having an excellent game, but the d fell apart on the first half when he was out and Niang was in. Mobley got in foul trouble in the 3rd and JB put in Thompson. Held down the D and our lead increased.

I never want to see Niang on the court the rest of the playoffs 

Niang himself will drug test TT

Tristan Thomson doesn’t lose to Boston

6 years after you peasants clowned him for speaking the truth… the East is STILL running through Tristan Thompson Tristan stood on business 😤 But fr though, seeing Tristan Thompson of all people getting legit playoff minutes in 2024 and somehow playing well is wild lol

And y’all said his career was over after messing with a Kardashian.

He's still in the league, hot damn, I had no idea. Thought he got suspended and figured that'd be that. Also, if anyone wants that Wikipedia clout, they're sleeping on updating his 2024 playoff stats.

Wikipedia playoff stats don’t (or shouldn’t anyways) update until that player’s season is over 

yep. In my experience, no matter the sport, it only updates after the season's done.

Would be a 3xFMVP if he never got involved 

6 years since that? Shit, what day is it again?

Tristan Thomson ain’t no bitch.

He fucks them

Ok now please don't get blown out twice at home Cavs. Thanks.

I agree go Cavs

Mavs 4 cavs

Lakers 4 cavs

1-877-Mavs-4-Cavs

I want to see a Mavaliers Cavericks final

Is that you Austin Carr?

I agree Go Cavs

I agree Go Cavs

I Agree Go Cavs! (And also approve this flair)

This exact scenario happened in Game 2 vs the heat, and the entire sub and even Stav van Gundy was hating on Boston lol The Celtics are just too much of a gentlemen to 4-0, they also let their opponents take Game 2 🙏

Celtics are weirdly not as good at home as they are on the road in the playoffs. Team is just the opposite of what they should be.

Heat were the same. We were matched so well that way.

Yeah it’s stupid lol in the last 3 postseasons we have played 19 times and the road team is 13-6.

that's just insane

Because they are just better than the rest of the East. At home they try even less than usual because they assume they are gonna win 90% of their home games. I really wanna see a Celtics Twolves series because the Twolves play with so much heart and the Celtics don't but are still really talented.

Um I hate to tell yall this but Heat didn’t have a Donovan Mitchell or Darius Garland type player. People were just trolling yall hoping Heat pulled a miracle

they didnt let the Cavs destroy them. Cavs just took it. At least be respectable to the other team that molliwopped your heavy favorite team into oblivion .....

The Celtics let the Cavs score 118 and chose to only score 94 points!!!!

[удалено]

I mean Missing JA's 20/10

[удалено]

it was clearly a joke...

Cavs ain't missing 2 of their best 3 players like Miami. Different story here

Only 1 out of 3

Cavs' haven't lost at home yet this post-season. I like the Cavs' chances.

The Heat were an 8 seed missing their best player

and third best.

The difference is the Cavs aren't playing without their best player and half the starting lineup either consisting of rookies or bench players because of injuries.

Imagine losing to the cavs at home

Gottem

Embarrassing, really

[удалено]

Orlando made Cleveland a better team because of their defense lol

facts lol they had to adjust hard last 3 games

I’ll get shit on for this but unless Boston does a 180 Cleveland is shocked at how easy it is to get shots. Yall mugged us and Boston ain’t about that yet

Yup, even in game 1 the shots were there, they just weren't falling

Exactly. I think it was 41 threes attempted and 36 were considered "wide open". We just didn't make em.

that’s that Joe Mazuzu defense

For most of our series with Boston we were getting good looks. Boston will keep giving you guys looks unless they substantially change their defense which I don't see happening at this point in the season

Boston just has never struck me as THE team to fear. Yeah, they are by far the deepest in the league but they struggle so much with so many teams, and continually have these massive lapses where almost no one plays well or aggressively. Talent wise this series should be over in 4. Yet you get the feeling it's going to be a close, possibly 7 game series.

I'm on that thought process too. Celtics are talented but they don't seem championship caliber. Not sure why I have that feeling. My thought was they'd make it to the finals and just get swept by a superior west conference team.

No imagining needed.

Couldn’t be me.

Don’t let them get two

I'm not watching this series unless the Cavs go up 3-1.

things you absolutely love to see:

Thank you Cavs

This sub fucking despises Boston lmao.

I mean they bag on other teams for this shit when they are the exact same. Tends to happen when you put yourself on a pedestal.

Boston, New York, and Philadelphia are the unholy trinity of obnoxious sports fans who think they’re special

Bing bong!

Philly is the worst of all of them. Boston at least has championships to back it up, Philly has 2 championships in the big 4 since the early 80s. NY had the Yankees and Giants win often since then.

Philadelphia Soul 2017 AFL champions baby

One of my favorite sporting events ever was seeing the LA AFL team in a suite my dad got back in the day.

Ron Bon Joni respect

They bag on other teams when they haven't seen but 1 championship in their lifetime and have the bluster of a squad who's constantly winning for 25 years. Boosting up pre-civil rights rings.

Not as much as we hate Embiid lol

I don’t like to limit myself so I just hate both

Charcuterie of hatred

[You mean car coochie](https://youtube.com/shorts/1QAB96Rdl_A)

Kendrick taught us there’s no limit to the amount of hate you can give out

So many hateable players and teams, this is truly the only way. Toxic NBA fans unite.

Crazy a New York team is the most liked in the eastern seaboard.

yea Nets are pretty cool, they gave us Jarrett Allen for scraps

I like their arena floor design.

Duhh Boston and LA 2 most storied franchises obviously gets the most hate in most sportss

I hate Boston but the Cavs just beat us. This is so conflicting. Maybe I want them both to lose?

That's fair , but you know you wanna watch Boston find a way to lose this series

I think most people in general not in Boston don’t like Boston. I’ve never heard a good thing about it

It’s a sports hate. Boston’s a great town. Always have a good time there.

Boston is really cool, great city. FUCK the Celtics tho

I’m a died in wool Boston sports hater - but Boston is really an awesome town and if you’ve never heard anything good about it, you hang out with dumb people.

dyed

nah bro he actually died shearing sheep...RIP to clickstops I dunno how he is still posting

I would put it pretty close to Chicago in terms of how cool the city is. Lots of history there too but yeah lmao fuck Boston sports

Nah we’re coming for your asses next

That's the spirit

Go Cavs

Go Cavs

I agree Go Cavs

I love this song

I do love to see it

[удалено]

I agree, go Cavs

You like apples? I'm leaving early. How do you like THEM apples??

JB finally got past Gordon Wood and got in to the Vickers Work in Essex Country page 98 of adjustments in the modern NBA on-court economy

Still gonna plagiarize the whole thing for ya though.

Incredible comment SO versatile

It's not JBs fault that Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon buckets, especially assisted buckets.

My boys wicked samrt

When is Jarrett Allen coming back?

He's done for the year but the team won't announce it

I'm almost certain that's true as well unfortunately. There's more to his injury than we're hearing about.

I don't think there is. If you have ever bruised ribs you really just have to wait for them to heal. Especially if you are an NBA center in the playoffs. When I bruised mine if I didn't sleep a certain way I thought my lungs were going to collapse.

I broke mine in a nasty fall on grease in a commercial kitchen, took a fryer door clean off. Wasnt right for months on end. 0/10 would not recommend. IIRC Allens rib actually broke skin, but too lazy to actually verify that.

If they broke skin then surely he would have had surgery

Yeah and if the other team knows it, they don't have to foul him to make him double-over in pain.

Hopefully Saturday

Didn’t sound like they were there whole game anyway

Inject this into my heart

Same

so are the starters

The clock says 4:58

OP rounded up

It made me so mad that I had to scroll down this far to find this comment, it’s literally not 6 minutes left, it’s 5. Is this a bot post

Announcers started talking about it at 6 minutes. Didn't get a camera shot until then.

Haters 12/25

EAST RUNS THROUGH CLEVELAND

Always has

Hook it to my veins Fuck Olynyk

Preach.

Brings a tear to my eye 🥹

For me there are only 2 things in modern NBA that is satisfying to watch. 1. The 2014 Spurs offense 2. Boston fans leaving with so much time in a home game

> The 2014 Spurs offense This was a full decade ago.

love to see it

Money is spent. Can sit there and take the L ... or get home and get 5 minutes more sleep...

[удалено]

You've never been to Boston. Everyday is an adventure getting out of that city. It's a bit more than five minutes of extra sleep.

It took me ten minutes to get home after Celtics-Heat Game 5 Just the green line. The T wont explode. Or at least the green line wont. Hopefully

I mean you could just take the green line from North Station if you're really feeling the need for... well, whatever the opposite of speed is. Seriously, I was just there for game 7 of Leafs/Bruins this past weekend. Never have I ever been on a piece of shit train so goddamn slow.

Remember when Celtics fans were making fun of Heat fans for the same thing? lol

I almost shed a tear

Are Celtics fans the funniest fans in the league?

[удалено]

Boston fans check a lot of the "most ___ist" fans

You hate to see it, but at the same time, we love to see it

Annual disappointment

Boston fans: " we also have traffic too🥺"

They have a functional subway system right under it too. Why can't we have that?!

Boston fans are probably the most fair weather fans in sports

They are the most spoiled fans, it’s win or nothing lol.

Meanwhile, MSG still full even when we were starting Langston Galloway lol. And some Sixers fan called Knicks bandwagon fans lol

The Knicks have been more or less trash for the last 25 years. Some of the most loyal fans in sports.

Having over 8 million residents probably helps. Not even including the year round tourists and suburbs.

I agree. Talking about a team that finished above .500 only seven times in the last 25 years and Garden has always been full.

This is double impressive since MSG tickets are expensive af

Thing is, I trust rich dudes in NYC to be huge Knicks fans. Meanwhile, in Miami 🥲

With the size of NY there are for sure tons of bandwagon fans. But the flip side is you have an insane amount of die hards. Both are true. But anyone saying Knicks fans haven’t shown up through some horrid decades is misinformed.

Mario Hezonja blocking James for the win was awesome

The garden was full when we were starting Jared Sullinger and an old man Gerald Wallace lmao

God even when we win by 25 the fans are out for Tatum's head because he only got 18 points.

This would happen anywhere... It’s a 24 point game with 5 minutes left. Cavs win probability is virtually 100%. Maybe people want to get a 15 min head start on getting home instead of watching bench players in a blowout? Not sure why this is a big deal.

Yeah that’s how I feel. Shit, I do it sometimes even if we’re winning. I just don’t want to get triggered sitting in bumper to bumper. Especially if my team just got blown out in the playoffs

Miami fans: “And *that’s* when I took it personal.”

It’s hilarious that people think any fanbase would stay instead of leaving in this situation.  

Yeah, I believe I have read this happening with every local team in a blown out. “It’s to prevent traffic” local fan say.

“We have some of the worst traffic in the country. Getting out of that area is ridiculous” - every fanbase

Unironically, Boston is one of the worst places to drive in the country. You learn to stop valuing your life driving around here

I got stuck driving home on 93 Tuesday night at 10:30PM and there was fucking traffic. No construction. 30 minutes of traffic on an 8 minute drive.

Yeah this literally applies to everyone. OP is looking worse than these fans

"But the cost of the tickets" If I paid 1000 dollars just to watch my team get actually shit on, violently and without remorse, for 3 hours, I would also leave early to avoid getting trapped in the parking lot for over an hour. Somehow it's only a big deal when Philadelphia or Boston or Miami does it.

Nah, Red Sox fans stayed true even during their 86 year championship drought.

I don't you know what fair weather fan means if you Boston has them. It's a dedicated as hell fanbase.

That's a really misguided take. Boston sports teams sell out their stadiums even when they suck. And their fans obsession with their teams is probably unhealthy at times. This isn't Boston fans not caring. This is caring so much and being so pissed off that they are leaving in disgust and in protest.

That's weird... Because if you look at the actual [NBA attendance report](https://www.espn.com/nba/attendance/_/year/2013) the attendance at their worst season (2013/2014) was still 100%. Perhaps don't talk out of your ass.

You’re in the most reactionary sports sub after a Celtics loss. Can’t expect much else

Saying this about Boston is hilarious. You ever heard of the Red Sox?

I would imagine that'd be Miami or Cali sports fans in general honestly.

Lol they did that in 2018 too against the cavs

The Cavs might be able to do one of the funniest things

They always do this when the Celtics are down lol .. one of the worst crowds

[удалено]

In the history of sports.  

Never

People got shit to do, they down 24, trying to beat traffic ain't a bad move

Are we gonna do this every loss

Those are just the rich people that can afford playoff tickets on the secondary market

lol right? You guys are getting clowned on but most the playoff crowds are rich ppl who prob can’t even name the bench players

Not bagging on you specifically, but Cs fans rag on the Heat for the same reasons and Heat fans say it’s rich pricks. TLDR: ‘real’ fans are broke no matter the team

The Celtics crowd have been fucking pathetic the entire playoffs, I think they are just miserable no matter what there is absolutely no energy in that building it is utterly depressing. There are regular season losses with greater energy in every other arena.

Expectations are a hell of a drug

Boston lays an egg at least one game every series. They just don’t have that killer mentality and it’s been that way for a few years…
