THE NBA NEEDS THIS! Luka in Lakers, Knicks in Finals! Cooper Flag in Mavs, Potentially Giannis Traded next season! For what? RATINGS. They complaining about low ratings in a while, viewership down.. Now this is the script this season! Big markets like NY can boost the sht out of this rigged league!

Celtics- No room for errors. The boat is sinking and collapsing. Ya gotta be so desperate to really want to WIN the game. Everything else will follow.

Tell you why and Nick better not fall apart. I think Boston may be a little better without Tatum.

How was it not Ewings fault? He was having a great finals?
Also, we had some great Knicks on that team that lost to the Spurs. That was our We Believe Team

Sixers, we got our own issues for the offseason. But Celts fans, I feel for ya π…the proud history of championships…for the team to straight up quit, Tatum or no, is just unacceptable π…
This game brought it down from 90% to about 75% π…the Celtics were in command of the Knicks for 75% of this series. Couldn’t hold a lead…If Joe’s back next season…wow…
Nobody should even be there at the airport in Boston…
It’s like game 5 was the Celtics’ game 7 π! As long as you dont celebrate on our homecourt! Now we can go fishing π

Stephen A and Spike Lee both proclaim that their Knicks team never won anything because of Jordan. They said nobody beat Jordan so it is okay that they never got to the finals during that period. But that is a LIE. Jordan bulls were eliminated from the playoffs by the Boston Celtics 4 times and the Jordan Bulls never were able to beat them. Jordan Bulls were also eliminated by the Detroit Pistons 5 times and only beat them when they were old and about to retire. Also, Jordan Bulls lost to the Orlando Majic – remember Nick Young stealing the ball from Jordan late in the fourth to prevent a Bulls comeback and topped it off with a dunk. That blunder by Jordan basically ended the Bulls season. Just imagine if Lebron had lost that many times in the playoffs and then was sent home because he got the ball stole from him in “clutch” time. It would be all over the internet. That’s right – no internet back then so Jordan had it easy in the press as well.
