Be as competitive as you like between the lines but at the end of the game you should be able to shake your opponent's hand and say "well played". No, not indulging in the love fest is called being a competitor.Stomping your foot on your opponent's center court mascot is bad sportsmanship - big difference.Connecting being a tough competitor to social issues is a bit ludicrous, no ?btw, do you just keep an eye out for my posts just to criticize ?

Now the love-fest between opponents.

You can’t blame him if Bogdanovic, Conley and Mitchell could not keep their matchups from driving EASILY to the basket. 🤷♂️But that happened in the regular season also. Gobert has been as ineffective as Simmons in the playoffs the last 4 seasons. If the Jazz wing players could defend, it wouldn’t be much of a problem.

Its from SAS so take with a grain of salt but I wouldn't be shocked here. https://twitter.com/stephenasmith/status/1407379365126623242?s=20
So many want to add a top center to the Celtics, but it seems every year that the best centers in the game have trouble making the Conference Finals, nevermind the Finals. Perhaps dominating centers are passe. No longer needed in the game for a team to win it all.

Smith reading a text from someone within the Philly organization on Ben Simmons. According to the text, Ben Simmons doesn’t work, he doesn’t listen, and everyone around him is family, and he’s constantly babied.

He players as hard on defense as anyone in the playoffs. It's hard for a 6'10'' guy to get around screens and chase shooters around the court, but he does it with the best of them. His work ethic on the court is special. You can take that information two ways. It can obviously be an indictment against him, but what if his family has surrounded him and walled him in because of the negativity in Philly? Honestly, that would be a good thing, because it would show he has a good support structure around him.
