Hayward one of my favorite players. That was awful. Really have to feel for the guy.

Season over I assume.
 
Nice to see the team rally and almost come up with the win. Damn though, knew it was likely Cavs and Warriors part 4 in the Finals regardless but just wanted to see this team gel and compete in the playoffs. Feeling robbed, as a sports fan.
 
Awesome. Refs letting Antetokounmpo walk in the paint. Like anyone's stopping that. Lebron 2.0.

0-2 Celts. A championship contending season just turned into a long season of disappointment. I guess it could be worse, i could be a Bulls fan. Their players don't even wait for injuries to happen, they just knock each other out in practice. Dafuq.
 
Wtf Celtics a championship contender team. Since when?

But anyways I don't understand why the Celtics traded IT. Dudes a better player than Irving IMO and IT plays with heart. Irving is more of a sidekick TBH and I hate ISO player.
 
Wheels already falling off for Cavs? Lue needs to go. Celts back in the saddle again, liking their chances come playoff time. The kids will be balling.

Since they got the best closer in the game, Kyrie Irving. Do you even watch ball bro?
 
Wheels falling off for the Cavs in October, November, December.

Just like every year.
 
I think it’s funny so many media shows already with the doom and gloom in Cleveland. It’s only November they give two s*** about the regular season.
 
Lebron out here playing 2k. Give me the ball in the post and get out of the way. Guess he had enough. 57 for the king.

Kyrie show next. 7 in a row for the Celts in OKC? We'll see. Never been done before after starting 0-2.
 
Irving just can't help himself going out of his way to s*** on Cleveland and the Cavs every chance he gets, and then saying "it's all love!" I try to ignore it because I want to remember him fondly. Oh well.

Well i was wrong. Dat reverse psychology. Stay humble and good things happen. Celts are contenders even without Hayward. 13 straight wins. Kyrie about to go Batman with the mask on the Warriors Thursday night.

But i was right about one thing though. Kyrie > IT and it ain't even close. Now that he got out of that half assed system in Cleveland he's shining.

Note: Tatum is a stud BTW.

Kyrie is slightly better as we all knew except for Celtics fans prior to this season, but Kyrie looks...just like he did in Cleveland. Numbers down across the board. Only difference is he is a little bit better on defense (he is finally trying, Stevens is milking him for all he can, that's why he's a great coach).

Other than that? identical player. Which is a very, very good player but people outside of Cleveland just didn't like to admit it.
 
The second Rose got injured for good is when the Cavs got on their current tear.

No Rose, no Irving, and the Cavs are playing better than ever.

It's because Lebron is the point guard. They were stupid to sign Rose. I hope they keep him, and the win the title, so Rose can get a ring.

The depth couldn't hurt, which is why they got him and paid nearly nothing for him, but they don't really need him with IT coming back. As someone who watches the Cavs every night, the Cavs aren't on a win streak because Derrick Rose got hurt.

I know that. IT is a tad fragile so the depth is needed.
