    The top two remaining of the WC poffs, have never won a championship.

    If you were British or even had any British background you might not use "Poffs"?

    The problem is that their foundation is still stronger than ours. They added supporting pieces.

    Dame/Grant/Simons is not even remotely as good as LeBron/AD/Russell.

    I’m certain I have read that Al Horford is old and washed up.

    Up 2, the only way to beat you is 3. Why double and leave the man wide open for 3?

    Up 3 with 1:30 to go and Smart dribbles for 7 seconds before forcing up a 3. Then he takes another 3 at the end of regulation. Tatum needs to demand the ball and not give it up.
    Bad coaching down the stretch by Boston....not calling time out was ok the first time, but the 2nd time was stupid. Brogdon needed to be in the game instead of White.
