He was at a winning team and left.

The disdain for him is growing

The hatred for Irving is worse.

Kevin Durant is, and always has been, the sort of guy who turns up to a rec league game where team A with 5 players are beating team B with 4 players by 30 points and chooses to be the 6th man for team A.

RIP Bill Russell

What an amazing life - on & off the court.
RIP Bill.

Just learning about the racism he was subjected too being in Boston from not only the public but law enforcement. Staggering.

An Icon, his performances on the court are legendary, his off court leadership for society is inspirational

Boston Celtics have suspended coach Ime Odoka for the entire 2022-23 season for violations of team policies.

It has been reported that he had an intimate relationship with a female member of staff.

Assistant Joe Mazzulla will be interim Head Coach.

it was funny, the player charging out there

just funnier the commentators saying that the review system was brought in for situations like that....... we know how that plays out

At least the right team won.

Cant review a non-call.
All sports should get rid of the technology or rely on it 100%. Players make mistakes and so do the refs so either eliminate the mistakes or deal with them.
It was funny watching LeBron sook for the entire overtime though like he just lot the NBA finals.

He clearly travelled before Tatum fouled him.

NBA has become unwatchable if it's not the missed calls, its the travels, carries, double dribbles etc that are missed, and the players what they get away with not to mention court side supporters abusing players and being allowed to stay etc.

Then there is the lack of defence... if any team actually wants to win the championship, just play a little D and you won't lose a game.

Unwatchable.

Absolutely agree, I use to love the NBA but just can’t do it ATM

Every game is like the All Star game, no defence, just a procession from one end to the other.

NBL is a far more entertaining product than the NBA.

Boston put up 139 (11 individual scorers) & beat Brooklyn by a lazy 43
I blame those cheating refs again…

No Simmons no Nets

I agree with the NBA being unwatchable. I haven't watched it regularly since about 1995!

In saying that I am enjoying the Magic at least being decent'ish. First time since about the last time I watched the game religiously.

LeBron has passed Kareem as the most prolific scorer in NBA history.
