Why do they keep saying Boston would sweep or beat the Lakers when they only beat them by 4 WITHOUT 3 starters..? None of these teams are built like that, this league is pretty mediocre. The Celtics are not the Warriors or the Bulls.

This isn’t even a DEBATE.
By far the most popular and iconic FINALS match up will ALWAYS be Celtics vs Lakers.

Shai manipulates referees like nobody I’ve ever seen. It’s not about the foul calls. It’s about how he gets them. It’s all acting. You can rewatch all his fouls I’m certain atleast 40-50% of them it’s just crazy acting by him. Atleast when James Harden and Trae Young did it they were manipulating certain rules (which got fixed). Shai actually just flails his arms when he knows he’s cooked and gets rewarded with a call. Nobody complained when Giannis gets hella FTs. Cuz we know that they are legitimate fouls 90% of the time.

Weren’t they chanting MVP for Steph at the garden? Arent the Warriors the most valuable club, ahead of the second most valuable Knicks by $1.3 billion?
I think these talking heads dont understand the value of global support.
