JB peaking right now. He’s in the first year of his prime!! Love it! My favorite player in the league!

Mine too.

Same!

Tatum with the chest slap like blaDAW! Brown gave him the "Ow Damn!"

[@tinobrown1780]

I love what he said about D White. Just because your shot ain’t falling, there’s no time to be hanging your head. Make yourself useful in other ways. JB is calling him out.

[@VIP_Kyrie]

brother , this is the mindset of the Boston Celtics.

[@Robin-xt7yo]

JB was just trying to protect his head when he was on the ground with Strus. He was getting stepped on!

[@TheRobversion1]

Strus bringing that heat culture. Borderline reckless again.

[@BenWick-oc8pv]

I think he well and truely crossed the borderline. Looked like Southern Texas

@@BenWick-oc8pv when one of the nba darlings get seriously injured due to heat culture, thats the only time the Nba Will take action. These celtics arent those sadly.

[@BenWick-oc8pv]

@@TheRobversion1 Sadly I doubt the NBA is capable of taking any decisive action even if the Heat assault LeBron. Gobert does the "money" sign again to the same ref and he gets fined less money than the first time?

58% FT percentage is wild JB.. fck we doin

[@ethanmiller2932]

Wow! Such a mature young man, such a mature young man, I am genuinely Impressed, he’s communicating and conducting himself better than some people I’ve seen TWICE his age. His communication, maturity, and sense of responsibility and accountability Is far beyond his years… No excuses, straight up owns It… Gets In, does business, gets out… Handles himself EXTREMELY well for a twenty eight year old… Good ole Georgia boy, mama raised him right!

Strus play was dirty

[@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains]

Well strus step on his head for quite sometime before brown finally reacted

[@hammerhead2362]

@@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains no he didn’t. Brown fell into strus legs who toppled on him partially and then was trying to run back on defense cause Celtics were pushing it. He did nothing wrong. He didn’t step on anything. When embid does it it’s dirty when brown does it it’s cool. We see the BS lol

[@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains]

@@hammerhead2362 when he place all 4 limps on the floor. he could have move his leg slightly lower behind brown on the other side. but instead he forced the movement forward and rub against brown's head. plus he was above brown was extended period of time before he rub brown face forward and brown retaliated to protect his face. only d7mbass would let people step over their face and not do anything. are you one of them ? max strus has been hugging people the whole damn night as well.

[@hammerhead2362]

@@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains yeah so what max fouled? max fouled out. And as a Cavs fan I have no problem with him fouling out because he commited fouls all game lol. That is irrelevant to the fact brown made a dirty play. Also quite some time? Lmao have you heard of something called SLOW motion?😂

[@hammerhead2362]

@@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains dude was trying to get back on defense not do calculus for how Jaylen’s poor head could be the most protected and take 10 seconds to decide how to get back. Get a grip

Shame Strus didn't play with the same Intensity when he was with the Celtics.

Didn't have the chance

Hopefully JB and JT will play together long time like MJ and Pippen

[@armandchargois5733]

All the Celtics need to do in their game is have five men constantly moving instead of ice so all the time… Too predictable too easy to guard… Have people moving around constantly like John Havlicek used to do… Drew does it the most, but not many other than him do it they get in a certain spot and they camp…

[@michaelmccollister7482]

Horse manure! No small market bias in the officiating? 24 to 7 in free throw attempts? Celtics don't play that clean.

[@TheRobversion1]

Lol. Have you seen the stats or listened to joe mazzula interviews. The celtics are cleanest team in the league. They commit the least amount of fouls. The trends hold in the playoffs. Even mazzula says they'd rather give up an open shot (and play the percentages) than commit a foul. Its by design. They avoid fouls. Watch the game. Hell, watch AC vids on boston defense. Moreover, did you watch? Cs drove alot. The cavs shot a bunch of 3s. That should tell you the FT disparity. Hell, the cavs shouldve gotten more fouls as they keep hooking the off-arm on drives and the refs were letting that go.

[@michaelmccollister7482]

@@TheRobversion1 You were watching a different game than I was. Jrue Holliday on Sam Merrill's 3 at the end of the 3rd? That's all hand on hand.

@@michaelmccollister7482 thats called a high-5. clearly you're biased. Let me guess: cavs fan or celtics hater? If you arent a celtics fan then why are you here? to troll the fanbase to cope with the loss? should we point out as well all the cavs fouls? this is the playoffs. If you havent noticed the refs are swallowing their whistle alot and letting minor contact go. Otherwise, the celtics wouldve gotten way more FTs. again the stats back it up. The celtics commit the least fouls in the league (they also dont get alot of steals/force TOVs because they rarely foul).

[@michaelmccollister7482]

@@TheRobversion1 Actually the Celts commit the 2nd fewest fouls in the league, but Cavs commit the 6th fewest. Yet 24-7 on free throws? Enjoy the ride; it'll be over soon...
