This series has me thinking a lot about 2008 when the Celtics were taken to game 7 by the Hawks…that series should’ve ended in 5 too…and we ended up winning it all!
Most Game 7s among active players (including this weekend):
Al Horford - 10
Jaylen Brown - 9
Kyle Lowry - 9
Jayson Tatum - 8
James Harden - 8
LeBron James - 8
Marcus Smart - 8
Brown and Tatum are 5-2 as teammates in Game 7.
In the last TWO days
2 teams are in game 7 after being up 3-1
A team was down 61
A team missed 23 straight shots
Backups sent a 3X MVP home
This the craziest shit I ever seen lmfao
Paul Pierce calls out Nikola Jokic for his performance vs. the Timberwolves:
“We say today that Joker is the best player in the game… We’ve said this for the last 3 or 4 years, right? Let this had have been LeBron at the peak of his powers. What we would have been saying?… If you’re the best player in the league, you’re not supposed to lose in the first round.”

Every morning the Sixers medical staff have to put Embiid’s body together like Frankenstein’s monster and the thing that really makes him come alive is hatred of the Celtics
