Have been banned from the other thread by an apparently sensitive snowflake (ironically after dozens of pages of political discussion from others) so I'll stick my thoughts on the NBA Playoffs here from now on. We needed a new thread anyway. [Reply]

It's fairly easy not to pay attention to any of that if you're truly a basketball fan (just don't watch the anthem or the end of game interviews), so I doubt that has anything to do with anything. [Reply]

It was mostly about Celtics hitting their 3's I wouldn't worry about it they will go back to bricking them next game. [Reply]

My concern is Boston completely stopped the Raptors' transition offense (which they need to succeed as their half court offense is less than great). Of course, when you hit a bunch of shots like Boston did, it lets you get back on defense much easier so that plays into it. [Reply]

I mean, they look stupid for a TON of stuff. Trading UP with the Celtics to take Fultz so that the Celtics could get Tatum and another pick. Hell, just about any "process" pick outside of Embiid and Simmons. [Reply]
