if GMing counts towards drama then the celtics are dramatic

its true danny is a total drama pig

kinda feeling this celtics black uni v portland red color on color match up

goth christmas

lol

cj has done some cool dribbling tonight

Javale just fell on top of Curry. Limping off to the locker room...

i really enjoy the play of terry rozier

So bummed about this curry season.

wow so many teams are 42-30 or so right now

curry's been better than last season other than missing some games

early reports of an mcl sprain

the celtics bench has for the second time in two games felled a might western playoff team

curry had a mcl sprain like two years ago in the playoofs right?

Yes. Slipped on sweat vs the rockets. Wasn’t quite right the rest of the playoffs once he came back. KD recovered ok after Zaza fell on him the same way javale fell on curry. But the MRI could reveal something worse so we gotta wait and see.

grade 2 mcl sprain

the one he had in 2016 was grade 1... this is good news for the long run but the door really is open in the west playoffs.

kyrie out 3-6 weeks. around the same time as curry.

rip small skilled dudes

lol they took something out that was put in in an earlier surgery

Celtics announce Kyrie Irving will return to basketball activities in 3-6 weeks after removing tension wire in his left knee today. Playoffs begin three weeks from today.

guess it wasnt needed anymore

According to a release sent out by the team, “the wire was originally placed as part of the surgical repair of a fractured patella sustained during the 2015 NBA Finals. While removal of the wire should relieve irritation it was causing in Irving’s patellar tendon, the fractured patella has fully healed and Irving’s knee has been found to be completely structurally sound.”

except for theis whos out for the season

celts gonna have to play out of their damn minds to advance.

dubs should be able to survive until the wcf w out curry

if kyrie is back for the offs they shd be fine

if its more like may 5th yeah theyre in trouble

they cld def wina 1st round series w/o him but they cld also lose

dubs cld be out in the 1st round tbh

considering all the other injuries they have

rockets raptors baby

cld def lose in the 2nd round with a healthy aside from steph team

if the raptors win the nba championship itd be pretty sweet

considering all the other injuries they have

the klay/kd injuries are shut-it-down-for-a-while injuries imo, not serious. Draymond is really the one to keep an eye on imo, if he doesnt have the ability to turn it up to 90-100% in those games when they need him to do that then that will mean trouble, or at least long series that shouldnt be long. the warriors defense when curry sits out is incredible, and the offense hovers around 10th in the league (they sink when KD sits tho). with KDs minutes likely on the rise in the offs, they really should be able to beat anyone w/o curry except the rockets.

they gotta sign quinn cook should be their number 1 priority right now tho

yeah idk there are just a ton of teams playing really good basketball rn and those shut it down for a while injuries often linger

i wldnt want to see okc beating up on my shorthanded small team if i were the dubs

paul george running around harassing kd, it cld get ugly

also the jazz i wld be scared of the jazz, the other matchups are prob fine, tho portland is flammable

yeah dubs want no part of okc tbf. they would prob win but would take a beating in the process.

they r brutes 4 sure

the jazz ability to force a halfcourt game wld be bad for the dubs especially if theyre down to only one guy who can really break the D down

those games would be some defensive slugfests

basically these playoffs just got a lot more interesting

if it happens to line up jazz-okc-rockets-toronto for the dubs that wld be a fn epic journey

every one of those series would be great except for the finals

toronto......might be good

i want to believe but i'm not gonna fall for it again.

yeah im def in prove it mode, but i like what theyre done this year theyve been blatantly better than those past teams that fizzled out
