He's just a mediocre coach. That Boston team was stacked, he should have had at least 2 rings with that team.

They would have...

... if Garnett didn't miss the 2009 playoffs.

Even with Garnett, I would still trust Doc to screw it up somehow.

And even without KG Doc managed to blow a 3-2 lead in the semis. Magic couldn't even hit their threes in game 6 but still won it.

It's not a goaltend because that picture is taken after Bam had made contact with the ball. Bam originally made contact outside of the cylinder.
Makes sense

I’ve loved it. He’s wayyyyyyyy better than Kyrie, all things considered.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Good thing I didn't talk shit because Kemba balled out in the first half.
He’s streaky at times....but he’s a net positive on the bench and in the locker room. That alone makes him kore valuable than Kyrie.

I had picked him for a dark horse MVP this season. Not even close but Brad Stevens normally does really well with quick score first guards.

Rob, why are your boys choking again? We need a Lakers/Celtics final and your team isn't cooperating.

Lazy defense, sloppy offense and some shit calls.

-20 in the 3rd

I predicted the Heat would win but was rooting for the Celtics. I should have known better than to be on the same side as Rob.

Why is Rob hiding? He needs to show his face to defend his boys.

The Brad Stevens interview before the 4th quarter was funny. He didn't yell. Was as non-threatening milquetoast as usual for the most part... but you could see the disgust and disdain on his face as he simply said "we didn't play well" or whatever was pretty amusing. The Celtics covered the big man diving on the pick-and-roll eerily similar to how KAT and the Wolves have for the past 5 years.

And then...

There are reports about Celtics players screaming at each other and throwing things...

Getting complacent and choking away double digit leads. Miami couldn't miss in the 3rd and gobbled up most of the boards in the 2nd half. I'd be more concerned if there wasn't yelling in the locker room at this point. Get your shit together because Miami ain't fucking around.

The first team to play defense will win this game.
