I don’t know how this Stephen A became an analyst because he is blind at anything an analyst should not be .

The Celtics biggest threat is themselves, when they move the ball they’re close to unbeatable in a 7 game series.

after watching Gils Arena
i cant accept this character
I have understood 1 think
everything on TV is just a big set of WWE
everyone is meant to be a character persono
1 is heel , 1 is rational , 1 always has to agree to all
for a debate to be going , it has to be loud and obnoxious

My takeaway is, as long as you sound confident and sure about anything of what you say, you would look logical and professional.
Look at Mr. Arenas here π

I see a lot of ppl pissing on Kuzma grave but if you’ve watched him play with the bucks he fits in perfectly. Big wing that can defend 2-4, can rebound, attack the paint, hes been making his FTs, he drives and kick to create open shots for everyone. The only flaw he has so far is his 3pt shot but he still manages to get at least 15pts by drawing fouls and attacking the paint. To me the X factor is Dame. Dame needs to be Portland Dame in order for the bucks to beat the Celtics. Either it’s by shot making or FTs he needs to score a minimum of 26ppg against them. Bobby portis will be back, his role will be simpler than what it usually is going into the playoffs so I expect him to ball out also. So a lot of y’all can sleep on the bucks but they perform best when there’s little to no expectation for them to win

I raised 166k in 28days and Anna Kathleen Sanford is to be thanked. My experience with her started when my best friend came back from New York, noticed I was drowning in debt then shared with me how I can start toake a change in my life through her. Anna K. Sanford is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got my self my dream car π just last weekend, I got a home, a good wife, and beautiful daughters. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!~

Cleveland Definitely the biggest threat to Boston. This is most likely the Eastern Conference Championship game of 2025. Lakers will most likely face the winner. FR

They beat the magic last year then lost to Boston.. SA was talking about 2 years ago. This is their 3rd playoff run and Mitchell went with Utah too. They have experience but Boston is just better
