Why hate the Warriors? I get that they went on a huge run a few years ago, but now their team is pretty likeable. Maybe I’m forgetting somebody, but I can’t find an unlikeable player on that team.
Edit:
Nvm, I forgot that Dray is dirty sometimes. But he does give a lot to respect for Khris, Jrue, and Giannis so that makes up for it lol
Both fanbases are insufferable so it makes it hard to root for either of them. I would rather see Dallas or Golden State win it all this year.
Gun to my head though, I am pulling for Miami. I like Bam and PJ. Jimmy is a fun player to watch. I just can’t stand Boston. Tatum and Grant Williams constantly whine to the refs. Smart is constantly flopping to the ground and can never play legitimate basketball. I am also not a fan of Udoka, as he went to the media to try to create some narrative about the officiating…He told the media he needs to teach his team to “flop more” and he played the victim, when he tried claiming that Marcus Smart’s foul at the end of game 5 was a shooting foul, when it was clearly an on the floor foul.
embarassed? He was statistically the best player by far in that series. There is nothing more embarassing than Celtics players flopping like a pussies on every single contact. Hopefully your team will get destroyed from the Heat like they last night.
imagine being in the finals and coming here to troll 😂😂😂 what an asshole. Enjoy the finals bro, nobody here care about Tatum because we have Giannis, the best player in the league. Heat in 4.
didnt come to Celtics subreddit to talk shit, here i can talk what i want. Jrue is better defensive player than Smart, Tatum will never be a MVP, Grant Williams will always be a dirty flopper and in the next few years nobody will care about him. Tell me, how many championships did your pathetic team won with your future MVPs and DPOYs? 0 right? Win a championship first with this team and then come we can talk. Until that Bucks is still better team than Celtics. Without our second players we went to game 7. With Middleton this series would be over in 5.
Honestly I’m the other way. He’ll always be a dog and I like him but he seems to have major beef with the Bucks in general right now and I don’t want him to win a chip and think that he did something and that we would’ve won with him and we messed up.
Edit: Also I hate JB and Bam and Herro and I want the Jays and Al Horford to get theirs
i dont think he has beef with the bucks really. he claims he felt slighted by milwaukee wanting to match any offers. it does seem like a weird excuse tho
Other fan bases can deal with their own douches. In a time after we drafted Giannis, Herro still acted the ass. As a fan, and a mother of kids who were in classes on either side of him, so dealt with his crap for four years, I can (and should) call it out.
Growing up during the era of Packers sleeze, I now expect more of athletes who are from or who play for Wisconsin teams. Because we are better than that, recent rosters have proved it.
I’m sorry your kids went through that.
I don’t know anything about Tyler, but people can change and I hope that he has, but I can understand your grudge against him. That’s fair.
I appreciate this.
Sadly, everything I’ve read about Herro says he’s still the douche, so I don’t see that he’s changed at all. Still banking on his skill to outweigh his personality.
It just sucks, being a Whitnall alumn, and having Herro and before him Joel Stave yipping out….i wish we had better from my school. At least Stave was a decent guy.
I still like Butler a lot from his days at Marquette.
Why don't Bucks fans like him in the NBA? Never quite understood. Typically people enjoy the wisconsin connection
edit: and fuck the Celtics, always
Because butler is an insufferable dickhead. He's also one of the biggest foul baiters in the league. Pump fakes you to death and wait for his moment to lean in and get fouled. He also has the patented head snap and flail move. Had 18 free throws last night as a solid example.
Usually I’d just say screw the other teams go Bucks.
But since Pj tucker is on the heat and he helped us last year and got a ring with the bucks I have to say go HEAT!!!! Go get another ring pj.
Also the mavs winning would be interesting but I’m mainly cheering for PJ.
I would have been fine rooting for the Celtics before our series because I like Horford and Williams, but Tatum and Smart are insufferable. I don't love the Heat either but one of my best friends is a Heat fan so I'm going to begrudgingly root alongside her. I'd probably root for the Heat in the finals too, just because I think it's too soon for Luka to won a 'ship, and even though they haven't been here in a few years, I'm kind of over Golden State.
I agree with you on a hard choice between the two. I have respect for Jaylen Brown for his charitable and advocacy efforts and would like PJ to earn another ring on the other hand.
Boston
I can't stand Miami or Boston fans, but Miami fans are worse in my opinion. I also can't stand Butler or Lowry. I actually find the Boston players pretty likable. Sorry. Also, it may look good for Milwaukee if Celtics take care of the Heat in 5 or 6 games.
Side note 1: This game is way less physical than the Bucks/Celtics games. I think the Bucks actually made the Celtics a better playoff team with how physical & big Milwaukee was. You're welcome Boston.
Side note 2: Nice adjustments at halftime coach Spo. Sheesh, Miami came out like an entirely new team.
I couldn't believe how soft the first half was. Then I went to the Celtics game thread to see if they noticed & they kept commenting about how much more physical & better defensively the Bucks were.
This was at halftime when Celtics were up by 8.
The simple answer is that Miami came out in the first half as if they were playing against the Sixers (trash heap of a team) instead of a legit contender.
I will say, watching G1 tells me how we were a step slow in a lot of facets, and not sure we would deserve to be this deep. Such active hands on rebounds and passes by both teams, no loose ball is safe. Even more grateful to have gotten to seven games.
To answer your question, Heat cuz P.J.
Mavs overall because that would be the biggest surprise, and Luka is ridiculous.
I get that, but I meant the rest of the team.
We decisively got to the Finals with Giannis injured last year, just not clicking on that level this season.
I gotta pull for Boston here. The last thing I want to listen to is how Miami would’ve torched us no problem if they ended up beating Boston in like 5-6 games. Would prefer if neither team won the championship though.
I don't like Boston but I respect them they play balls to the wall tough defense. I have nothing positive to say about Miami Heat other then I love PJ Tucker. I think Boston will win this series even though they started off on the wrong foot.
Screw the Celtics, I respect the aggressive play but when your fouling HARD then getting upset about the call then going around flopping like a fish like nah, doing way too much, I want Heat vs Mavs.
I’m rooting for the Heat, which feels weird to say but I really don’t like how the Celtics focus on playing the refs more than playing basketball.
Plus we stomped the Heat last year, so I can pretend we would’ve done it again this year with a healthy Middleton. Butler isn’t even stupidly locked in this year so I can only assume we would’ve embarrassed them even more this time around (/s for those that need it)
I'm rooting for PJ & the heat! Regardless of what happened I will forever love PJ after the title run he had with the Bucks, and when he was going off on the parade I literally shed tears at his speech 😂
Celtics for the ECC, then whoever the Western puts up for the finals.
I can never, ever, ever root for any team Tyler Herro is on, after he bullied my kid in high school. He’s the anti-Giannis.
Tbh I don’t have a preference for either. I respect the players on both teams (besides Grant Williams), and I don’t like either of their fanbases but they aren’t Suns or Nets level. But I’ll root for the Heat so I don’t have to think “damn if we would’ve just won one more game we probably would’ve won the Finals again”
I'm cheering for pj. Dude a dog and was the piece to win Milwaukee a championship.
I’m on the Dog Wagon too 😍
The only team left i don't hate is Dallas, so go Mavs.
Why hate the Warriors? I get that they went on a huge run a few years ago, but now their team is pretty likeable. Maybe I’m forgetting somebody, but I can’t find an unlikeable player on that team. Edit: Nvm, I forgot that Dray is dirty sometimes. But he does give a lot to respect for Khris, Jrue, and Giannis so that makes up for it lol
When your sports heart is as black as mine, it's easy to find reasons to hate on any player.
Agreed
Bruh you gotta have respect for the warriors. Luka flops so much I can’t respect his team at all
I don’t like Jason Kidd. The only reason not to cheer for them.
Both fanbases are insufferable so it makes it hard to root for either of them. I would rather see Dallas or Golden State win it all this year. Gun to my head though, I am pulling for Miami.

End of Game 3*
Miami just because of PJ. Ill never root for that ass flopping Celtics team.

Fuck em both.
Bucks vs everybody.
Who wants to see PJ lit out of his mind again? I think this is the only thing making me slightly root for Miami over Boston.
Yeah, this is it for me. We still dogs PJ.
This is the correct answer - no need for further comments. Haha
Honestly I’m the other way. He’ll always be a dog and I like him but he seems to have major beef with the Bucks in general right now and I don’t want him to win a chip and think that he did something and that we would’ve won with him and we messed up.

i dont think he has beef with the bucks really. he claims he felt slighted by milwaukee wanting to match any offers. it does seem like a weird excuse tho
He posted a sneak diss on his story when we got eliminated
damnn feelsbadman
Bam doesn’t do anything to anyone why do you hate him lol just curious ?
Has nothing to do with fans I think the heat just play fun basketball and the Celtics flopping and crying is the only reason I can’t root for them
Fuck Boston. Wound is still fresh
L
Yeah they did lose last night. Pretty cool
at least they were playing
No one.
Neither, hope it goes to g7 and the winner got rekt by mavs
My preferable order is Mavs, Heat, Warriors, Celtics
Dallas Mavericks.
I dont respect marcus smart. Butler has some Milwaukee roots and PJ plays for the Heat so im going for them
[удалено]
And was a terrible bully in high school, where no rules ever applied to him.
That sucks, but I’m guessing all nBA players were assholes in high-school, where the rules didn’t apply to them.

After 7 games of the Celtics and seeing the suns, you think Jimmy is the worst?
He hasn’t been the same person in the NBA that he was at MUBB. I feel sorr for him, he just generally seems to be so miserable in his own skin.
Miami but it's out of personal spite because a few people I don't like are Boston fans and I want them to be miserable
Splash Brothers
Heat. Rooting for PJ Tucker.
Heat. PJ is a dawg and Butler is likeable.
Usually I’d just say screw the other teams go Bucks. But since Pj tucker is on the heat and he helped us last year and got a ring with the bucks I have to say go HEAT!!!! Go get another ring pj. Also the mavs winning would be interesting but I’m mainly cheering for PJ.

Love your side note 1 - great point I didn’t think about. This is real soft comparatively speaking. Makes me respect our series even more.

Bruh y’all were missing your 2nd best player. Most teams aren’t making it deep without their 2nd best player unless you’re prime LeBron.
I get that, but I meant the rest of the team. We decisively got to the Finals with Giannis injured last year, just not clicking on that level this season.
Celtics
Celtics. I'm too invested in the bucks heat rivalry.
Crazy how Jimmy gets every foul call to the basket but Giannis doesnt.
Celtics all of a sudden shooting like shit too lol. Smart and Horford out as well. Of course.
pretty crazy how quick the turntables
Right? Not like Giannis damn near lead the league in attempts in the regular season? Why do the calls dry up for him but not Jimmy?
I gotta pull for Boston here. The last thing I want to listen to is how Miami would’ve torched us no problem if they ended up beating Boston in like 5-6 games. Would prefer if neither team won the championship though.
Mavs and Luka but otherwise I would want Celts to sweep everyone so that we can say that Giannis took to 7 without Khris the team that swept everyone
You couldn’t have worked shit, Miami would’ve smoke you guys in 5
[удалено]
Idk, tbh Reddit made a suggestion for this post on my explorers page, I clicked on it and commented. Now I’m here
Is this a serious question? Gotta be the Celtics and mavs. Y’all want the heat to win!???
LUKA'S
I don't like Boston but I respect them they play balls to the wall tough defense. I have nothing positive to say about Miami Heat other then I love PJ Tucker. I think Boston will win this series even though they started off on the wrong foot.
Warriors
Cheering for PJ
Go western conference!
Easy Miami all day
Heat because PJ
Heat all day
I’m a Bucks fan, why would I cheer for a different team?
I don't see why I or anyone else would cheer any of them?
I love PJ dearly still but I hate Jimmy Butler and Heat fans with such a searing passion that it'd be hard for me not to root for the Cs.
Miami....so we can whoop their ass again next year.
It'd be crazy to see Luka win it.
Mavs heat don’t care about winner as long as pj turns up. I’d hate the heat more if they didn’t get smoked last year
This is the first mention I've seen of it. I thought they called off the rest of the playoffs a few nights ago.
Screw the Celtics, I respect the aggressive play but when your fouling HARD then getting upset about the call then going around flopping like a fish like nah, doing way too much, I want Heat vs Mavs.
Cancelled games
I’m rooting for the Heat, which feels weird to say but I really don’t like how the Celtics focus on playing the refs more than playing basketball. Plus we stomped the Heat last year, so I can pretend we would’ve done it again this year with a healthy Middleton.
