I don’t mind that we didn’t trade for kawhi, but I still do find it annoying how many fans said we didn’t need him “cuz we have Jaylen brown”

Lolz. But the fans don't wear green tinted lenses, right?

Hey, if Jaylen can improve at the almost unprecedented level that Kawhi did then we're fine!

two classy teams really nothing you can say against these teams. Someone has to win. Feel for Lopez and Giannis they fought hard.

Giannis is anything but classy. You heard him yapping his mouth after his win against the Celtics.

He's definitely classy, and he said nothing about the Celtics that wasn't true.  Sometimes the truth isn't fun to hear.

“From what I’ve seen lately, they put DeAndre Jordan on me, they put (Rudy) Gobert, they put Joel (Embiid), they put Jarrett Allen. They just keep doing that ****, but it doesn’t work.”
I think if we had a potential MVP saying these things we'd love them

It's okay to talk trash when you can back it up without getting spoonfed by the refs.

Still contend Danny should have made the deal for Leonard. Felt like it then and still do now.

Danny has all his eggs in the Anthony Davis basket that is why he is now going to have to overpay.

Would have preferred Leonard myself. Just a proven winner and defends multiple positions. But it is what it is...biggest fear now is they don't get AD and lose Kyrie.

If they don’t like Kyrie then I understand why they don’t like Giannis.

Facts.

The guy has worked himself into a hell of a player. He's everything Celtics fans claim they respect.

I hate the way he gets away with violations too, but it's not like the refs are making him a 27/12/5 machine with great defence.

Giannis is easier to defend when he doesn't get every call like he did vs Boston.

Wah wah wah. We're talking about a guy who was drafted out of a 2nd tier Greek league that's likely going to win MVP this year. He's worked to become a special player. Tip your cap to him and keep it moving.

That and the team actually tries when they aren't making shots.
