CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENT:

I would 100% prefer Doris Burke in commentary over SVG.

Can't believe I said it, but SVG was horrific tonight.

I think a talking bird would be better than either one.

To be fair, a talking bird would be pretty cool.

Way smarter...

For those of us with a tendency to cite single-game +/- as if it means anything, Jaylen Brown had a team-high +17 despite playing like absolute s*** all night. 

That's what that stat is worth.  Zilch.

man you beat me to it.   The +/- here gets a lot of love.  JB played like crap all night and had the highest +/-.

JT/JB need to get back to playing well, and soon.  We can't expect DWhite to turn into Curry every night.   JT/JB need to play a lot better.  I don't understand the effort and poor play tonight.

I don't have an issue with the effort really.  You don't hold a team to 88 on poor effort.  Agree that they didn't play well at the other end.  JT found other ways to contribute despite shooting poorly, JB just had a rough one in general, and we'll need more from them in G5. 

Also wouldn't hurt my feelings if we got a lift from somebody on the bench.  Al has been solid, not knocking him.  But PP and Hauser have each kicked in one solid game and have otherwise been silent this series.

I wasn't particularly amazed with the NBCS boston broadcast either.

People keep saying to just rest porzingis Game 5 on Twitter, LOL that's a foregone conclusion already, I'm just praying it's not season-ending or something like that

I’m with you on that. That sequence with KP did not look good to me. If he’s back at some point next series I’ll be very happy.

Just hoping it doesn't become another Timelord situation where he comes back and becomes pretty much ineffective

That's now the worry, we have no idea how he is going to be, going into each game. The NBA playoffs really do lose something when all these teams keep losing impactful players due to injury.

It’s why there are rules like not getting into a guy’s space before he lands. Even after the play.

we own miami in miami

lets just putthis series to bed next game at home.

lets kick the trend that we choke at home in game 5's.

show u can win 3 straight and close out.

I'm so sick of having to face that filthy scum of a team every year. Always with the dirty plays injuring our guys and then the refs allow them to set illegal screens all game long it's ridiculous

been sayin

i loathe that ball club and organization

Not controversial at all because at least she can still identify players correctly unlike Hubie Brown. But Hubie isn't a lady, so...

[liam]

Bam turns his head after he sticks his foot under Tatum's foot and acts like he doesn't know what he just did. Cheap!

[celticinorlando]

Win Wednesday

Cheer for three more games of Orlando Cleveland

Hope KP’s calf is a mild strain

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

may have to limit KP minutes next series to play it safe

i’m more concerned that not one celtic went after bam after that deliberately dirty play. soft.

Exactly. Big part of this team's problem. Lord, they are a passive bunch.

Horford went over and pushed Bam away from Tatum. Are you guys watching the game?

no, he didn’t. al brushed bam’s shoulder running to help up tatum. bam could have taken out our best player with that intentionally dirty play; someone should have sent a message.

And he got a tech for that. We're down Zinger already, what is the realistic outcome you wanted from that situation than stupid, macho violence?

I'd like to see some macho violence myself.

i’d like to see a celtic send a message to miami that their dirty play will have consequences, especially if they try to intentionally hurt a player. doesn’t mean a punch, but how about getting in bam’s face with some words of warning if he continues to play dirty ball. some of you guys are soft.

Yeah, some of you are jumping from one extreme (passive, no response) to another (punch the guy's lights out).
Jumping right into the Miami player's face, chest to chest, with some strong  words by more than one Celtic would be much better.

When was the last finesse team with such a passive personality win the title ?

Yeah, we need an enforcer like Jokic and Jamal Murray! Oh, wait… 

who said anything about an enforcer? the way you put words in folk’s posts in an attempt to make a point is hilarious. if you don’t think denver is a physical team, you don’t basketball. and if you don’t think jokic would send a clear message to bam if he intentionally tried to injure murray, you’ve clearly never been to serbia.
