“There’s no longer the mystique of playing against the NBA players… There’s still respect, but there’s not the same sort of fear or the awe that there was 27 years ago.”
Grant Hill says that international players no longer fear Team USA 👀

I asked Jimmy Butler about what Boston has done differently on him as of late:
“If I’m level headed through the good and through the bad, they will be as well.”
“So I’m gonna smile. I’m gonna go home and play some spades. I don’t care what nobody say. Everything gonna be ok.”
"We wish we could tip this thing off right now...but we'll wait 48 hours and do this thing in Boston."
Heat HC Erik Spoelstra following Miami's Game 6 loss
This guy won a DPOY and I’ve yet to see him control a game defensively vs us. More fraudulent DPOY than Gobert. Rob Will and Derrick White gave us more problems
Karim Benzema — one of the greatest strikers of all time — is signing with Saudi club Al-Ittihad, per
@FabrizioRomano
.
His contract: 3 years, $643 million.
Nick Wright says nba fans praise stars that has been sitting home for months now but slander players for running out gas after actually taking their teams deep in the playoffs
That’s 100% facts
12 YEARS AGO, The LA Clippers won the draft lottery & selected Blake Griffin with the
#1
overall pick.
Players they missed out on: James Harden & Stephen Curry.
Damian Lillard says every team needs a player like Udonis Haslem in their locker room
“He got a presence with these dudes, what he says means something.”

Jokic is a genius.
He's absolutely exhausted, yet he still picks up on the fact that the sideline is signaling for a Pistol action (this variation is called "21 Keep").
He notifies his teammates, they are on top of it, and it leads to a back-breaking turnover for Miami.
The Bulls would be focused on getting a good young player, multiple first-round picks and salary filler if they decide to trade Zach LaVine, per
@KCJHoop
Mario Chalmers had the guts to tell THE LeBron James that he’s playing like a b*tch. I hope someone in that locker room has the balls to stand up to Jimmy and Bam
At the end of the day Bradley Beal won, he got one of the biggest contracts in league history and gets to hand pick his next team without that team gutting their roster to get him. Can’t hate on that
Does Butler worry if this could build momentum for Boston? "No. If anything, this will build momentum for us, knowing we need to play with a lot more energy." Said it will help "having our backs against the wall" because Heat responds in that situation.
Vic my boy. I know you not gonna see this. But you always wanted to be a Heatle before it was cool. You were a Heat legend before you even wore a jersey. You deserved better but the basketball Gods had different plans. Will always root for you on and off the court ❤️
Damian Lillard says he’s ‘definitely’ not joining Miami if they win the title
“Miami win a championship, that definitely ain’t happening.”

As you can see it’s hard to win without your best player. You saw it with the Heat and Jimmy last game. Now you’re seeing it with the Knicks and Scott Foster
I can’t rock with this. Max was a good dude and very professional at his job. He had some bad takes but never came off as arrogant. Very smart boxing expert too. I liked him
Fuck all that job isn’t finished bullshit. This should be a moment to celebrate. From the play-in to the finals. 8th seed just won an ECF game 7 on the road. Bring out the pots and pans..and the cocaine
Jalen Brunson gave us more work than Giannis, Tatum and Brown. If Knicks fans wanna brag about something they can definitely brag about that because dude is a dawg
Celtics players shot 28.6% from the field vs Bam Adebayo
Bam led the Heat in assists and rebounds last night. He also had 10 screen assists to help free up shooters
He won’t get his credit tho
This is really my guy man 😢 it’s okay to be disappointed in how he played but it’s impossible to be mad at this man. Let’s get him and Bam another star
Only 3 times in my life where a super team was formed and I was like yeah it’s over for the rest of the league. Those teams were Boston, Miami and GS. All these other “super teams” never struck fear in my heart
Don’t give us one???? We gave y’all 3 and y’all shitted the bed just like did to Bill Russell 50 years ago. Take all those Red Sox and patriots montages and shove it up Ime Udoka’s mistress ass
@Celtics
Spo is the best coach in the league. Y’all really worried about him blowing a 3-0 lead to Joe Mazzulla????? If this gets to 3-3 then I’ll start to sweat. Just enjoy the rest of y’all night
