Bleu cheese butter burger sounds delicious.

Yeah, like the Juicy Lucy it's a stuffed burger.

But instead of American cheese it's stuffed with a bleu cheese compound butter.

Tatum’s turning into a Cousy- Havlicek-Pierce type team player … it suits him
Tatum had 31 but if you read some of the comments you'd think he's a scrub.

He's just missing that eye of the tiger.

Let's see.

They had the Dallas crowd behind them
Kylie had a great game.
Porzinkas was out
They needed this game bad

And the Celtics still win.
Luckily for us all the excuses have been exhausted by now.

Kind of a shocking stat, Boston only had 3 players in double digits. Dallas had 4.

I had Boston in 6 before the start of the series. This is the first time that I think they could actually sweep.

The more i look at how this series is playing out, I think Minnesota would have matched up better with Boston

Better role players and no cones on defense

Boston still win that series but not in a sweep

Historically, this team is better than the 2008 super team … but like I said earlier, even with a sweep, they will not be seen as a great team because of the lack of competition in these playoffs

Good thing for me, at least (wager wise) but also for Dallas' season, is that the gentleman's sweep is still in play.
But the Mavs must win on Friday ....or they'll watch the Celtics hoist the O'Brien trophy on their floor.

Hope it gets back to Beantown for a game 5....and then whatever happens afterwards, let it roll.

Look at these Celtics winning games in the 4th quarter this playoff run.

What a thing to see.

I willed that and the Derrick white trades into existence


@Gman and @LogicMan can confirm
Tillman played some decent minutes tonight... he held up on D, which is what he's here for.

What a luxury and impressive roster to have X sitting on the end of the bench just in case somebody gets hurt.

The West was more talented than the East this year(and has been for several years IMO) but the matchups up at the top were what stood out. It was basically a game of rock paper scissors between the Nuggets, Wolves, and Mavs.

I’m sure people will say it’s because I’m a Nuggets fan but they absolutely would’ve beaten the Mavs and likely have 1-2 wins in this series against Boston but they just ran into the only team they were completely outmatched by which was the Wolves. And the Wolves had the exact same thing happen where they ran into the only team that they were outmatched by in the Mavs.
Don’t forget the Thunder that team dominated the regular season they just are doing the normal path of a young team losing before winning, like the Warriors in 2014. That team was as good as any in the East except Boston

I mean, they are coasting to a title he hasn’t needed to do anything legendary just play great defense and use your talent advantage and you win a title drama free in 4 or 5

I hope you don’t agree with that.

That is an easy call to make.

He is in position for the screen, but he twisted his body so that his shoulder hits Holiday in the head.

Illegal screen all day long.
