  1. If your whole team shoots 3s, you shouldn’t be losing ANY games in the playoffs. If Celtics win it all, wouldn’t be surprised

  2. Is it just me or does it seem like the commentators need to b switched for the conference finals. These need to b calling the western conference finals and vice versa.

  3. East playoffs is insanely bad & every predictable. But Jalen Brown winning Finals MVP against the Timberwolves

  4. Idk why people are still hating on the Celtics in the playoffs this szn they 10-2 but for some reason the analysts say Boston hasn’t done nothing this playoffs granted we did play 2 injured teams but I just don’t get it

  5. Pacers are a fraud and they're being exposed now. The only reason they advanced is because they beat injured teams.

  6. Celtics steal game 1 "Let's talk about the free throws!"

    JB goes off, celtics go up 2-0 "Let's talk about how tatum sucks!". It's always something. ALWAYS.

  7. Celtics steal game 1 "The free throws!"

    *JB goes off, celtics go up 2-0 * "Tatum sucks!". It's always something. ALWAYS.

  8. This series is over I hate Boston but the way they playing it's going to be a clean swip it's over in 4 pacers can't touch Boston
