Man shows should start putting the date in the corner so people stop making dumb ass videos like this
Wtf is up with these so called people experts, Celtics get humiliated and they are talking as if they had won. Ridiculous disrespect of Nuggets.
Take down that stupid crown from his head. He is best with out that and he really doesn't care about that kind title King or whatever. He is man that is not flying in the air totally normal on the ground with 2 legs.
The nuggets kicked the Celtics to the curb.
Celtics need more bench score
Bring back Richardson from San Antonio spurs

Yeah, well I wouldn't raise too many MVP banners for the Joker just yet. From my perspective, it was more a combination of lackluster defense, and relying way too heavily on 3-point shooting, and everything else that plagued the Celtics during the first half of last year that beat Boston more than the Nuggets or Jokic's play. Yes, they were making shots and Boston wasn't. THAT's the bottom line, but the story's much deeper. I mean look at what Giannis did the other night – scoring 45 with a bunch of rebounds and assists, but he still lost the game.
Where were the MVP chants for Giannis? I'm sure they were there, but they weren't nearly as loud.
It's the outcome these analysts always want to chirp about, and not what actually happens in the game. Had the Celtics been making their shots as they normally do, and playing their brand of defense, Jokic's 32 points and triple-double would not have been enough to win, and at best it might have taken a buzzer beater to do so. But again, had the C's defense been playing up to par, and the 3's been dropping, the score most likely would've been reversed.
Like I had to keep saying last year, and has rang true in all of their losses this year – the only team that can beat Boston are the Celtics, period.
