Guys. What is this. I honestly don't believe they'll fire him.


It's a joke. There's a guy on Twitter named Trill Ballins that started this. It's actually kind of funny because he gets actual Celtics fans to respond.

If Stevens leaves it would be because he quits, not because he gets fired. But I’m not seeing it.
 
Boston is going to be really good in a few years
 
It really irks me that the narrative is that Kyrie saved the day and Lebron is barely mentioned..

So despite looking not 100% right(with the Bug explenation now there) he has 34 and 15 in the 4th...
People really are weird that they change the facts to whatever suits them.. especially the Media..

In 2013 It soley was Ray Allen who saved not only the Game but Lebrons legacy.. People Forget that Lebron made the three right before Rays three to even bring the Game in Range.. That he had 14 Points in the 4th that night.. And even last year as deserved as the praise for Kyries Shot is nearly nobody outside of us is talking about Lebron Scoring almost every single 4th Quarter Point for us in Game 7..

Here we are again... As deserved as every praise for Kyrie is.. why cant the Media give BOTH Lebron and Kyrie credit? Why does it have to sound like "Lebron had a second dud Game and Kyrie had to save him" ?

In generall i really hate the Media right now.. adding to all this there is a weird wave of "If GSW wins the Title KD made the right choise" stuff.. Then the super Arrogant quote from Lacob's gets portrait as "GSW really wants the Cavs.. they are hungry" ..

What the hell is going on? Is every human in the Media so unsure right now what to expect from the Finals that they desperatly try to look good no matter the outcome?
Every game tells a story and the headliner in that specific game was Irving.

It was Irving that paced the team when they went down by double digits. It was Irving who led the charge to put the Cavs back on top and it was James who stepped up to extend the lead.

I really have no problem with Irvings on court heroics getting press. because the other guys on this team will always be under LeBron's shadow so when they get the limelight. it is probably well deserved.

Reality is FO didn't make moves to load the Celts up..but ya know what?
I don't care.
I have disliked that team since I started following basketball..I don't care what happens to them.

I have a dislike for them as a group, but after this series, I can say Smart, Bradley, and Brown are welcome on a team I cheer for any time.

Brown is going to be an impact player in this league. I really like the way he approaches the game.
 
Last time I felt bad for Boston is before they got Garnett and Allen just in time to rob us from are first championship

Pay backs are a bitch

It is SO FUNNY how average Horford becomes against the Cavs. Every goddamn year. I love it.

And Boston NEVER LEADING FOR ONE SECOND AT HOME is just delicious.

Horford really stepped up by the end of the series, he surprised me. Ive got to give props he was one of those guys that just kept going no matter how inevitable the end result was
 
For the series, the Cavs outscored Boston by exactly 100 points (602-502) and had a net rating of +21.4, which even for s small 5 game sample, is absurd when you consider Boston was not only a playoff team, but a #1 seed.

Here's what makes it crazy: from the 6:39 mark of the 3rd quarter of game 3 to the 5:30 mark of the 2nd quarter of game 4, Boston outscored the Cavs by 40....40! That barely over 3 quarters of play, which would've given Boston a net rating of about +56.

For the other 13 quarters, Cavs had a net rating of about +35.

How you you see such a dramatic shift at seemingly random time?
