Professional athletes deserve professional analysts. This isn't the Harlem Globe trotters. People depend on numbers and stats for money lines. These people lose money on their bets. They get upset over money and attack players personally. If it's just entertainment. Why talk about who's the "biggest bust" "who needs to lose weight" etc.

Time to give credit where credit is due. This has been one of the most competitive seasons in NBA history and BOS has been the best team ALL year long. Because of their history and seemingly inconsistency, media has put many teams over them and looked past them. But if you’re 100 objective, they’re the best team. This as a Lakers fan.

The switch ups from ESPN is insane. They all underrated Boston for weeks with nonstop scrutiny. Feels good to be vindicated

[@matthewgabbard6415]

Dude Boston did not look that impressive during their two rounds prior to this. But Bston fooled everyone because they made it seem like it was luck and they weren't being tested. I think they were playing down to competition. Plus the analysts were worried about Porzingas being out. Those were reasonable concerns. And although Boston has managed to hang on they have given up a lot of big leads
