Celtics in 1

 

[BDBIID]

Celtics should sweep but if Tatum has his trash game in the same game Trae has his best they can maybe lose 1

 

[Sony Montana]

I think the hawks have the ideal team to go up against the Celtics and they have a better coach now

But still I don’t think they win more than a game

 

[BlackAx410]

Need the Celtics to come out focused Tatum and brown has to set the tone need high defensive intensity as well

 

[Sony Montana]

Fuck trae young

 

[BlackAx410]

2 stupid ass turnovers to start but not a terrible start

 

[Sony Montana]

Hawks would take off if they could swing for Bradley Beal to pair with Murray

 

[BlackAx410]

Good job finishing in the paint but too many stupid ass turnovers, we should be up by more keep attacking on both ends tho

 

[5th Letter]

Rewarding flops gotta stop.

 

[BlackAx410]

Great energy on both ends gotta keep our foot on the gas

 

[5th Letter]

Trae getting these niggas in foul trouble

 

[BountyHunterRo]

Heat would have put up a better fight than these Hawks smh

 

[BountyHunterRo]

@Infamous114 change the title now lol

 

[AP2.5]

Damn this over already?

 

[Sony Montana]

This could’ve been us lol

 

[5th Letter]

They cut it to 19 after being down by 36. Too little too late.

 

[Sony Montana]

5-17 shooting

 

[BlackAx410]

That’s a terrible fuckin 3rd quarter we gotta regroup man and close it out

 

[BountyHunterRo]
