2022 Eastern Conference Semifinals: (2) Boston Celtics vs (3) Milwaukee Bucks - page 230

They barely beat Brk with a flabby Harden and Kyrie didn't play.

Bucks are a good team they need a good scorer of the bench.

That offense gets stagnant.

I know that’s how I like my mascots

It's going to be a tight series just off simple fact that Spo can actually coach and make series adjustments.. whether or not they actually go out n make it out remains to be seen but the Heat damn sure will be better prepared compared to the Nets and Bucks

Giannis the best player in the world right. He supposed to will the bucks to a win.

He had 2 chances and he didnt.

Celtics beat KD and Kyrie

Then Giannis

Casual

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now. You think Middleton taking the C’s to 7 without Giannis?

Passing Kareem later this year, deal with it

Two of the best defensive teams I've seen in a while facing each other. You gotta love it.


First team to 80 wins the game

Im saying Middleton is the closer, he’s the most important piece on the team

Damn had no help for his entire career.

Game 6 1998 NBA Finals
The Greatest Minute of Basketball in NBA History. Down 3 points with only 41 seconds left Jordan quite literally did EVERYTHING!!! He scored the quick layup keeping the Bulls hopes alive with 37 seconds left. Next he had the Defensive IQ to act like he was moving with Hornacek but in reality he stayed behind Malone and poked the ball out. If that wasn’t enough he comes down casually and hits THE SHOT ... MJ did it on BOTH ends.
MJ 45 points game winning shot
Toni Kukoc 15 points
Pippen 8 points
Ron Harper 8 points
Rodman 7 points
Bill Wennington 2 points
Jud Buechler 2 points
Luc Longley scored ZERO POINTS
Steve Kerr scored ZERO POINTS
Scott Burrell scored ZERO POINTS

Scoring fewer than 15 points in a playoff game:

James Harden--31 out of 152 games.

Michael Jordan--0 out of 179 games.

By boxden logic ge could've done more.

If this was lebron...

The internet has fu#ked everything up. n1ggas out here really not wanting greatness to be great. You n1ggas try to find every flaw as a way to justify being filled w/hate. sh1t's weird. 2 things can be true. Giannis is a historically great player & the Celtics are the better team.

Can we let the Lebron standards die for the next generation? Let’s not be idiots for another decade

Funny how they act like they the lakers haven't been destroyed by injuries during Brons tenure.

If this was LeBron. They'd call him a choker. Sports fans are hypocrites and constantly contradicting themselves.

Giannis is an African, in America

I use African American similar to how they use Asian American

Cause I ain’t no African American
