Horrible game but we gotta give him credits for the last quarter performance, man is indeed one of the best we have in the league but to talk like that you need to be consistent at least

I never thought he was this guy. Trade him what a clown. He is good in regular season, but consistently doesn’t show up when it counts in the playoffs. I’ll take JB instead now. But, between both of them playing ISO ball and hogging the ball, who’s worse ? They both turnover the ball a lot too. Celtics are best when rotating the ball, not forcing into the paint and missing layups time after time. Such a good team and blowing it again with ISO half court ball.

Lol. Such a clown culture over there in the NBA and NFL. So much insecurity disguised with self-fellating statements like this. That’s why Hockey is a superior game and culture.

LOL, dude!
Four 3s in a row and he’s “one of the best players in the world”?? What a shame!
Last year he disappointed with how poorly he played in the playoffs. This year is actually almost the same – “playoff mode” is disabled inside that man 👎

“Humbly” this mf probably says “no offense” before saying something super offensive.
