Weeeell, looks like they’re invulnerable and the season is over ladies and gentlemen! Pack it in. /sarcasm

Also saying we win without Hayward playing is straight up foolish. He gave us 3 extra possessions with 2 crucial steals and a block, and his rebounding was very good. He contributed more than Terry did

Shhhh... You can't say anything about the "young" guys. They're fragile. Their feelings might get hurt.
Lol, TP. Really seems that way.

Although, Terry Rozier is 25 in less than 2 months, so does he even count?

Rozier is a free agent.  There is no point in showcasing him for a trade this summer since you know he is a free agent.

The Celtics were close to beating the Warriors last night even with their problems. I don’t like this defeatist mindset that’s going around lately.

Seriously. Why even bother playing the games at all? We should just cancel the rest of the season - playoffs included - give the Warriors the trophy and head home.

This board is turning into a dumpster fire.

It's a win or nothing mentality. Sometimes the fun of watching games and being in a fan is in the journey, not the destination.
Any odd typos are because I suck at typing on an iPhone :D

Aside from the losing mentality this would develop, is the thought that the Pelicans don’t know how good Tatum is?  That they’ll be tricked if we start playing him less?

so you think Hayward was a net positive? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKAY.

No, but I’m saying he was better than Semi would have been. The reverse what I think about Terry - Wanamaker would have been better
