1. I’m predicting Mr Feast or Famine Jayson Tatum goes into Famine mode today.

   (Or should I say praying?)

2. Thankfullly I have a family event to attend so I will only be able to check in for score updates.

3. The two proposed Indiana trades in the article posted above are beyond stupid.

4. Z-man:

   still got ur clicks

5. The Honorable Cock Jowles: still got ur clicks

   Yea I vote for removing the site that publishes this crap from the news algorithm. Black list these losers.

6. Starting to check if D-Mar is right (Mr Famine) now.

7. All Celtics are on famine – FG 0.292 – and Giannis with a 10-8-6 quarter. For now, this is looking good. :D

8. And just like that, they turned a 10 point deficit into a 2 point lead.

9. Udoka decided to use the challenge to try to avoid Tatum’s 3rd foul, but it was a mistake. Rookie coach mistake.

10. Everything’s coming up Boston. Boo!

11. Yeah, this sucks

12. This is going to be a painful ECF.

13. On the bright side Luke Kornet’s chance to finally get that ring are still alive

14. Raise your hand if you thought Grant Williams would be MVP of game 7.

15. I guess Khris Middleton is not overpaid. :-)

16. Remember early in the season when all the experts were saying Tatum and Brown couldn’t play together and Boston had to break that duo up. lol

17. I’m not sure my heart can handle a game 7 in which Frank could have an important defensive role off the bench. I guess I can handle anything other than him going into a defensive coma and committing critical TOs. If they are making tough shots, so be it. Just make it tough on them Frank! That’s all you can do against stars.

18. Heat fans should be pumped for game 1 vs Boston Tuesday, I bet more than half of them show up by tip-off and stay for the whole game.

19. Deeefense!!: Remember early in the season when all the experts were saying Tatum and Brown couldn’t play together and Boston had to break that duo up. lol

    Pundits ain’t experts.

20. The Honorable Cock Jowles: Pundits ain’t experts.

    Point taken.

21. Luka came ready to play

22. It’s not fair that the Mavs will have had a first-ballot HOFer on their roster every season from 1999 through 2035.

23. Well, the Suns are shooting 26.1% and only down by 10. Let’s check if when the shots start falling they’ll get the lead fast, just like the Celtics did.

24. It still amazes me anyone passed on Luka.

25. Dinwiddie also came ready

26. Suns are missing everything!? :O

27. I know the Mavs are kicking ass, but it’s way too early for Luka to be grinning every time he scores

    Karma can be a bitch Luka

28. I thought Dallas’ Porzingis trade was fine in that it split up one bad contract into two. I did not think it would *immediately* make them a substantially better team. Luka is on another level.

29. The Biyombo- Dwight Powell matchup we came to
    See

30. Absolute meltdown by the Suns

31. This is kind of insane

32. Trade Luka for depth, build around Dinwiddie.

    Phoenix is self destructing really hard, I absolutely did not expect this.

33. I wish we lost more games in 2017-2018

34. This is beyond shocking

35. Luka is insane

36. It still amazes me anyone passed on Luka.

    This.

    Three teams passed on him. Remarkable.

37. It is poetic that the Suns are getting destroyed by Luka after passing on him, even though things ended up going well for them in spite of that.

    But If I was a Kings fan I would never be able to get over it, never, I’d probably quit basketball.

38. Total Eclipse

39. Bruno Almeida:

    Bigger whiff – Portland taking Sam Bowie over Jordan or Kings drafting Bagley over Luka?

40. This has to be the biggest choke job in NBA history. No one gets blown out in a home game 7 like this. This is not some team that lucked into this position and is getting exposed by a better team. This is the team with the best record in the NBA that went to finals last year. They should all retire in shame and take up a new sport.

41. Yeah, this is totally bizarre. It sucks that I don’t get any good games, but at least Luka is fun to watch.

    So it’ll be 1-2 in the East with 3-4 in the West. Interesting.

42. I don’t know how I’d be able to go on as Kings fan. It’s hard for me to watch Mikal Bridges and Bones Hyland!

43. Can we just mercy kill the Suns? The entire arena seems collectively broken.

44. Can you imagine being the poor schmuck who shelled out big bucks to go to this game?

45. In a way this is a W for Knicks fans because 2-18 is moving down the list of most embarrassing things to happen in game 7s

46. 32 points in the 3rd is absurd

47. this is the biggest playoff steamroll since that dude ran over hubert

48. https://mobile.twitter.com/GodsGift021/status/1526005325110906881

    ^ that pic is gold

49. Ahahahaha milo

50. I just turned it on and can’t believe what I’m seeing

51. Did Chris Paul retire between games 6 and 7?

    I hate to say, but Kidd probably had a lot to do with figuring out how to shut him down. He has done a surprisingly good job… Not that Doncic hasn’t been amazing, but Kidd has pushed the right buttons.

52. I think Kidd does deserve credit for the other games in the series and the changes he’s made, but this game is just an absurd collapse, this is entirely on the Suns. Yeah Luka and Dinwiddie have been amazing, other role players too, but this is a total, complete choke job.

53. In other news, no chance Dallas doesn’t keep Brunson

54. Definitely can’t overlook Dinwiddie’s performance, and with a heavy heart due to the death of cryptocurrency

55. I think of Kidd a lot when i see Luka grab a d-board and take it up court.

56. Anyone who predicted Frank would someday get major minutes in the 4th quarter of a game 7 was spot on.

57. Frank remains the straw that stirs the drink

    This isn’t going to look good on Chris Paul’s career resume. And I love him.

58. Relegation

59. Scrub Luka Doncic lowering his ppg average in elimination games by only scoring 35, down from his usual 39.

60. How’s it goink

61. if you’d had told us a year ago that vildoza and frank would score points in a rnd 2 game 7 on the same day culminating in theo pinson sprint celebrating into the locker room we’d have wet ourselves

62. rama as it was with the chickens:
    I just turned it on and can’t believe what I’m seeing

    You and me both. It’s morning here a I hoped to wake up to fierce competitive basketball. Boy was I surprised.

63. ptmilo:
    if you’d had told us a year ago that vildoza and frank would score points in a rnd 2 game 7 on the same day culminating in theo pinson sprint celebrating into the locker room we’d have wet ourselves

    I’m happy for them both

64. Yesterday was a bummer, with 2 lopsided game 7 in a row. Is that a first? Here it’s late, so i turned off Mavs-Suns midway through the 2nd quarter, because the winner was already sealed.

65. Who’s the bad mfkr with the headband on the mavs roster?! Looks familiar!
    ;-ppp

66. Tbh i was expecting MIA-MIL and GSW-PHX but I’m very excited with the conference finals matchups that came up.
    If i had to bet money I’d say MIA-DAL finals and the title to Florida but these playoffs are so open that any team has the chance to get the chip.

67. Would be weird if Miami faced Dallas in the finals for a third time.

    I guess let’s go heat? Feels weird saying that but out of the four left I guess they’re the ones I want to see win it all. Mainly for Butler.

68. I’m rooting for that rematch, but honestly, Ime Udoka is so fucking awesome that I don’t even hate any of the remaining teams, so even if my least favored result happens, the Celtics winning, I can live with it. I want Nia Long to be happy. ;)

69. I guess who you hate more–Boston or Miami–depends upon when you became a Knick fan. Oldies like me detest Boston (and LA), with Miami in the second tier of unlikeable teams (no matter who is on them).
