    Horford flat balled OUT against the most physically imposing player in the league and this after Finney-Smith's monster game. The Gator boys are showing out. Hope the 'pups are noticing.

    Man that was vintage Al. Loved it, and I don’t even like the Celtics.

    So much internal conflict here tbh. I actually like the Celts players, especially Big Al and Jaylen Brown.....but the Celtics, the organization, the brand, the fans, the city....ugh.

    I’m right there with you….Lol! I remember Al hanging 22pts on Alabama, I think his freshman year. He brought some of that energy last night. I think the Bucks might be in trouble.

    That was a damn good game. Looked like the stars from both teams came to play.

    41 min for Horford, one behind Tatum for lead.

    Milwaukee Boston in game 7. Who you got? Home team? Giannis did not have much help in game 6

    This has been a good series to watch. The Bucks really miss Middleton. The Celts just seem a little deeper and have a few more scoring options. Going with the Celts at home in game 7, but I won’t be surprised IF the Bucks take it. This is what a game 7 should look like. The Suns-Mavs is also gonna be a good one.

    Just did a quick score check. Dallas is up 57 - 27 on Phoenix . . . . . . at the half. 27 points for an NBA team at the half? :eek:

    Phoenix has been so bad in these playoffs, not sure what the hell happened to them. They struggled to beat a 36-46 Pelicans team prior to this. And watching Luka Doncic makes me hate being a Magic fan because once again we got screwed in the draft lotto and missed out on him.

    It was actually tied 27-27 at the half if you only count Dallas’ points that Luka scored

    Big choke job. I wonder if writers will get on Chris Paul and Booker as much as they got on Harden?

    They deserve criticism, but a different type of criticism. Harden’s critics point out his jack of dedication, conditioning, and focus. That’s different from CP3 and Booker failing to execute.

    While GS is known for good shooting, they’ve been really good on the glass and defensively in the playoffs, especially this series.
