ESPN now attacking the integrity of the Celtics team, because they can no longer play their favorite game of glazing LeBaby Flop and the LA Losers, after yet another failed season.
these fakers are straight up tra$h.

You know what, yall sleeping on Knicks , they had a good battle with Pistons, I see this series going to Game 7, OG will clamp Tatum, and Towns will be better than Porzingis and Jalen Brunson last 2min plays.
Knicks in 7.

Don’t want to hear this bs. U keep Jaylen brown. He has been the most consistent in the playoffs and last year too. U keep brown and Tatum and whoever else has to go they just have to go. And u go after Giannis and just plug in role player. If they can’t do that make sure u keep brown and Tatum over anything.

Why would the C’s get rid of anyone after just re-signing everyone last summer? Who is going to take JB one year after signing a supermax deal??? This chatter lowers the collective IQ on these shows.

I am a diehard Detroit Pistons fan. Full transparency, I can’t stand the Celtics. Simply because of the history between the Pistons and Celtics franchise. I’m sure most diehard Celtics fans feel the same about Pistons. However, I respect the Celtics and what they bring to the table as a team. They are a deep team and despite having two superstars, they play as a team offensively and defensively. Winning one game in a seven game series is very difficult, which makes beating them 4 times in a series seem unimaginable.
Before the series between Detroit and New York, I couldn’t imagine a situation where the Knicks could beat Celtics. Being an NBA fan, I watch most of the games this season. During the season the Knicks looked like a college team playing against the Celtics. But that was the regular season. During the course of the series against the Pistons, the Knicks slowly became a different team. Playing completely different than how they played during the regular season. Specifically, their defensive awareness has picked up. Most importantly, they have a chip on their shoulders. This is going to be one hell of a series. The Knicks is not the Magic. They will challenge the Celtics in ways that the Magic could not. I am looking forward to this series, as I don’t think the Knicks is going to be an easy out. In fact, when considering the on paper match up, I would not be surprised if they shock the NBA in this series. They will definitely challenge the Celtics and force them to play up a few levels. After playing against Detroit the Knicks has rediscovered their defensive identity. That was missing for the majority of the regular season. They have the defensive minded wings that can slow Tatum and Brown down. They will force Boston to work on both sides of the court.
Although I do wonder about the first game. Boston have been resting and the series against Detroit was a grind. Celtics is likely to take the first game. But overall, I can’t wait to get into this series. I think this will be one of the best series to watch in this round.
