Amir Johnson said right shoulder feeling better, more mobility. Will take shots at shootaround and pre-game. Game-time decision. #Celtics

LMA sure did look average in these playoffs. Kind of glad we did not get him now.

What happened to that guy it has to be all in his head right. I mean he was so dominate in Portland now he just looks shy and timid

Also: ZaZa Pachulia (heel) says he'll be fine to play in the NBA Finals. Nine-day layoff should be enough time... http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0658756266348253877-4…

Deron Williams went through pregame warmups about two hours before tip. He appears OK to play tonight.

Kelly Olynyk will start for #Celtics Amir Johnson still game-time decision but likely out.

Wiggins is more Lamar Odom than Lebron he might have the physical talent but he just didn't have that mental makeup to be dominate.

Bledsoe is no way a better player than Dragic. Bledsoe is a better defender let me know the last dominate defensive minded point guard to win a championship?

Omg you know what your totally right I never thought of it like that. Maybe we should focus on trading for a young Kareem Abdul Jabaar. I think that would be better than trading for a dominate offensive big man who might be average defensively and maybe finding really good defensive role players.

Just dominate 4 wins all by more than 15. If not for that Allen 3 this is a back to back team.

Both Knight and Bleadsoe are ball dominate PG score first pass second especially Knight the ball just seems to stop when he comes in.

Cousins and Davis on the same team doesn't make sense to me. Two dominate big men?

I don't think these match ups are pathetic we are just seeing two legit dominate teams. I for one love it

IT needs to be ball dominate to do what he does he doesn't really play off the ball.

The word you are looking for is "dominant." "Dominate" is a verb; "dominant" is an adjective. You're welcome.

Lmao. I'm sure you have made your father very proud that you have finally graduated from the Internet spelling police academy.

I honestly don't know what to say right now. You just... Put me in my place. I mean I'm so impressed. Holy crap you must have a lot of free time.

Hey no seriously though, congrats on being "that guy"

This might be good:
"Thank you, Professor (Yes, he is an actual professor)! I now know what word to use in order to improve my grammar. Improving my grammar will likely cause people to take me a little more seriously. Thank you again for taking the time from your busy schedule to teach me."

David Aldridge @daldridgetnt
C's @IamAmirJohnson won't start G4 (sprained right shoulder), but he just told me "if they need me, I'm available." Kelly Olynyk starts.

So if you were walking through your workplace with a glob of food in your teeth or your fly wide open, you wouldn't want anyone to tell you?

Yeah sure lets go with that.


It's an Internet message board. I take nothing here serious. This is all good fun for me. Last thing in the world im worried about is grammar and spelling on an Internet message board.

Trust me it's all good

#Celtics lead #Cavaliers 28-19 after 1Q. Crowder 10, Olynyk 6, Bradley 6. James 6, Irving 6. BOS: 11-for-24 FG; CLE 6-for-19 FG.

 

[Errntknght]

Celtic's up by ten at the half... they may make a series of it yet...

 

[TJ]

I think if LeBron plays w/o fouling, the Cavs will come back.

 

[TJ]

The refs are giving #8 a lot of freedom out there. He's talking poo, pushing off.
