Was always going to happen but the best performing front court player is coming off the bench in the All star game

Remember when Boston fans were declaring Tatum for the MVP after 30 games

Not me, I declared Joker the MVP this season about 6 weeks ago (before anyone else on this forum did)

 

[Iceman!]

Real talk though the Lakers are kinda not bad, not sure they can make any moves that turn them in to favourites in the West but I can absolutely see them becoming a fringe contender with the right trade

 

[Memphis]

JB is his own worst enemy seriously.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

The Lakers jerseys today are lit

All the calls have going the Piss and Purple's Way.

Joke.

 

[fidstar]

Here come the Cs.

Not bad for the third best team in the East!

Hate to see what the free throw count would be if the game wasn't been called in the Lakers favour (currently 26-12 in favour of the Celtics)

This may be the greatest reddit post in history

This made me laugh:

And today marks the 51st consecutive game this season the Celtics have copped the rough end of the stick from the officials

 

[samFFC]

Lol what re refs.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

The more I think about it, the more Kyrie returning to Boston appeals to me.

Trade Jaylen Brown to Utah for Marrikan and picks, sign Kyrie as a RFA and are good to go !

Make it happen Stevo

You would be boo’d out of Boston for even suggesting that. Personally I’d love to see it because it wouldn’t end well.

Kyrie will go off the rails again before the season ends and everyone will remember why you can’t rely on him. Also is Jaylen not better than Laurie? Hard to split in my opinion

We can't get the rim jobs the Sixers get every game from the refs m7

This is why Philly always fails in the playoffs cause the refs.put their whistles away and no more easy rides for the likes of Jojo anymore.

Joking (mostly)

It was my birthday yesterday and surely I deserve a Celtics win (esp against the ancient enemy)

Ainge loves Brown, he probably would do it

Philly have had flawed rosters every year. The only year I truly believe the year had a contender was the Butler year and it took Kawhi playing like prime MJ to stop them. They had an injured Embiid and Harden last year with no bench. This year will show if the roster has what it takes or not.

Definitely been a rough week for the Celts, just remember home court is all that matters.

Happy birthday though, hope it was a ripper day!

Yeah it was good mate (Leeds finally won on my birthday huzzah)

Have to be honest, the more I have watched the Celtics in the past 10 days, the more I am convinced Marcus Smart is our 2nd most important player.
We still have plenty of good shooters and scorers, but our defensive has really become infuriatingly bad since Cobra (and to a lesser extent Time Lord) have missed.

We have won many games when Jaylen Brown has missed, but you can see our record when Cobra is out.

I know he is not loved or liked outside of Boston, but he is absolutely invaluable to us.

And annoyingly yes, I agree the Lakers are a dark horse threat in the West, on the provisio AD stays healthy

 

[hawkman]

All these terrible calls that Boston are getting. Lucky they were able to review 1

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Guaranteed melts either way.

The rest of the board will be happy

Hopefully the Celtics can seal the deal for my Birthday

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Pat Bev is worse than Hitler

 

[hawkman]

Getting beat by Beverley would hurt

 

[tombomb]

Something about that Harden/Bench thing really makes me laugh.

My favourite part is him afterwards walking around like he doesn't know what the whistle was for.

 

[samFFC]

Pat Bev MVP wowee what a minute

 

[The King!]

LeBron watching the rest of the team

 

[Memphis]

I can't deal with JB.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

YOU LITTLE RIPPER REFS !!!!

 

[samFFC]

Gotta challenge
