Crazy he said the thing abiut the ankles when Tatum just did the same thing yesterday against the warriors in the firdt quarter

[@braxteneilert6012]

Now KP did it!

Yeah I know when you twist your ankle whatever. Your adrenaline is going so doesn’t hurt as much and your ankle isn’t swollen yet. Ankles always hurt the most the next day. Takes time for inflammation to go away also because so far from your heart.

Hello Ben

The Celtics have one of the best teams ever to not win a title AND not be stopped by all time great teams. So Sonics and Jazz and Portland stopped by Jordan's Bulls (and by DET in 1st finals of POR) don't count. This team is just underachieving but I think this year might be their year. That defense is built for the finals but they also have a lot of offensive weapons.

[@TheChessRunner]

Their stars are still very young. If they win this year, they still would be one of the youngest in very long time. So that is saying that bulls in 89never have won a title. I don't believe at all that they get to this dinasyty level, but sneaking in a championship they still have a lot of time. If turns out in 10 years they didn't win a title than this comment is 100% true

Few years ago AD left a game cos a lady courtside had her phone brightness too high..

[@Snickerszn]

Stop it!😂

[@geordiejones5618]

I hate that the Celtics still can't beat Golden State in the Bay despite having a much better team today than they had when they lost in the Finals while the Warriors are so much worse.

[@TheChessRunner]

the Warriors are in their head😎

[@EmanCollins]

The clippers have to win 500 games straight before it's OK to talk about them. FYI. 👍👍👍👍

[@TheChessRunner]

I think the moment they overtake the first seed. Sounds fair

[@adampeters9684]

You guys should retitle this vid to “The Wolves are far and away the best defense in the league so far. Here’s an hour of mental gymnastics to prove that they aren’t” At some point, if 90% of teams that play the Wolves have an off night shooting, don’t we have to take into account that they’re making it tougher for opposing teams to shoot?

[@TheChessRunner]

they have some kind of magic spell where oponnents mis open shots? Also if there defense would be that high because their best line ups ok. But they are best defense, because of people shooting bad against their weaker defensive line ups. That makes less sense then saying it is still very small sample and it will get closer to expected

[@MilenkoMiletic]

Hey Ben, I tried to reach out to you but it seems impossible. Do you have an email address?

[@diamondhyena5631]
