I remember when Wiggs was drafted by Cleaveland (2015?) and then traded to Minnesota for Kevin Love. I also remember at the time I thought the warriors should trade Klay for K Love (I know, embarrassing). Its incredible how Wiggs has gone from “draft bust, doesn't care, grossly overpaid” to being given lots of props for being a big piece of the “resurrection of the golden dynasty” (paraphrasing Kerr’s words). Ill try to find link to Kerr’s quote but gotta go be the taxi for my kids 😑. https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/andrew-wiggins-trade-key-move-warriors-resuming-dynasty-steve-kerr-says?amp

Forget the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Avengers and Multi-Phases they assembled.

This is the Fn Golden State Basketball Universe and everyone else is a just spinoff series!

Who's got the best seats in the house?? DNHQ that's who 💙💛

Now where's my popcorn...

So… Celtics kinda have a 7 man rotation (Tatum, Brown, Smart, Williams III, Williams, Horford, and White) with Pritchard and Theis in spot minutes it theres foul trouble. With Williams and Smart a bit injured, might we be able to run them ragged?

If we have GP2, Andre, and Porter available, I like our chances, a lot TBH… especially if Williams III can’t defend in space that well. Will be lots of games below 100 points, but we are made for that.

Wow, Heat starters with a combined 18 points, none in double figures. That's... Kind of sad.

So... Has the Celtics/Heat series started yet? As we know, a series doesn't start until a home team loses. (The Warriors series didn't start until last night, btw.) It would seem that this series started when the Celtics won in Miami. But then Miami won in Boston. Since the series will now be tied again at 2-2 has the series now un-started???

I'm so confused.

It is quite possible that the 3 best teams in the East were on the same side of the bracket.

That slo-mo is awesome. I love how they start rising up together and Wiggs just keeps going up while Luka quickly flops back down and offscreen. Pure comedy gold (blooded).

Gotta wonder how it's possible to justify a DPOY vote for Smart when they are this dominant defensively without him

It was always highly unlikely that the Heat would win another game in Boston. Their best bet is to just protect home court the rest of the way. But that’s a tall order against this Celtics squad.

Great defense by Oladipo there, denying Lowry the 3...
