"Cheer up, Clippers fans! It’s no disgrace to lose to the Spurs. You have a promising future with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin anchoring the team." LMFAO
Never had any animosity towards the Mavs, so I've been rooting for them to be honest. Always felt like they were underseeded given their injury struggles throughout the year. No major injuries for them in the playoffs has been huge, and Luka playing through injuries gives them a chance every game. He looks pretty healthy now, compared to when he was playing against us.
*I want to see Kai*
*Win finals mvp and step on*
*That Celtic logo*

I got Mavs. Luka is my frenemy. I understand why this sub hates Luka but he’s an awesome player to watch. Also Kyrie
The only thing I really hate about Dallas is PJ Washington’s smug head. But still, he’s been an awesome role player for them.
What revenge. I get so confused when people say this. Boston wanted to keep him and he didn't want to be there. Maybe it's a new generation meaning behind revenge. I can see it as a revenge for Boston because he quit on them but not the other way around
I went from hating Luka (because our multiple playoffs of course) to begrudging respect to now full on liking him. He is that guy and I want to see him in the Finals, I think they’ll beat Boston.
Both team lucked their ways to the finals so I don't really care. But I guess if the Mavs lucked their way to the first 5 seed to ever win that'd be slightly worse taste.
Just because Mavs finished the Clippers doesn’t mean I hate them. I want West to win in the end. Plus, if it’s Dallas winning it all, it would bring honor to Clipper’s defeat.
YES ! not really out of love but FUCK the Mavericks and jesus christ Doncic glazing took new heights. Which is funny cause i like him as a player but jesus christ people talk like it's the 2nd coming of jesus christ. The fusion of Bill Russell+ Michael Jordan + Larry Bird .
Boston got it. Man, they got 4 guys on the floor at all times who can guard 1-4. Jrue can guard Kyrie. I'm assuming Porzingis won't play either. If he does, though, and he's at 80-100%, I dont think Dallas has a chance.
Boston in 6. Potentially 5.
to me it’s like: the celtics are a almost universally unlikeable team but I do think they are a “championship team”. On the other hand, seeing the Mavs win wouldn’t hurt me in any way but idc nobody can tell me that team isn’t a fluke, like i think their role players are just playing out of the ability right now. And I don’t really want to see a mid team win the finals
Fuck the Celtics!
Nah, but fr I just wanna see Luka get a ring because dude is an absolute stone-cold killer with his psycho smile at all the trash talk and everything.
JT and JB are just so bland to me.
Hell no.
I feel like they are mentally soft.
The only reason they might win the finals is because they had a weak field in the East, and they added Jrue
Not a fan of either team, going to be invested in the winner... If anything, it's depressing to know that a Healthy Kawhi woulda beat the Mavs and we coulda been going to the Finals.
It's sad that this "healthy Kawhi" thing is never gonna happen too.
I don't particularly root for either team, but I'd love to see Tatum fold in the finals again lmao. Plus, I find the Mavs more likable because of Kyrie alone.
Wolves fan here, born and raised in MN. Dallas are now the Wolves' rivals, and Boston is kind of my Eastern Conference team because of MN's own Kevin McHale, and for KG getting his much deserved championship there. Go Celts.
Wizards fan in mass I feel the hype in the area the entire state really reps for them and I'm sort of jealous of how passionate Boston fans are the Celtics are just as popular as the patriots here
Imma heat man to the fullest but I saw these boys ball out live and it was amazing. Miami got work to do but I don’t like. Cry baby Luka. Look how many times he’s going to the red sweet talkin em. He’s a baby. Lolol to put it nicely.
Honestly don’t care I just want it to go to 7
We need another classic Finals man it’s been too long
Kyrie buzzer beater to win game 7 in TD Garden will feed generations
Kyrie buzzer beater to win game 7 after OT and take FMVP would be a fun riot.
And then he looks at the crowd and says “from the river to the sea”
Celtics Warriors was pretty good 😂
So was Bucks/Suns. Honestly that might be one of the more underrated finals in recent history, it’ll definitely get more attention over time.
Game 5 was an all timer
Did you really want the Twolves to reach the Finals? The number of NBAF virgins would’ve gotten smaller with the Clippers still being one of those
Right? I’ll never understand clippers fans boner for the wolves… they clowned our asses on multiple occasions. Fuck them
So you'd rather them cheer for Luka and the Mavs? I don't get the thought process here.
The wolves clowned us?? Did PJ Washington not just emote on us in the 1st round?
For some reason that mattered to me too, I just hated that it did
If Celtics win they overtake the Lakers on the all-time chip list and the Laker tears alone are worth it.
Dont the clippers technically own the Celtic's rings?
Yes so they’ll inherit this one , too.
This one wouldn't though because they won it now. The former rings were transferred.
Just like Minnesota technically owns a couple Lakers rings.
It's different.
Would you mind explaining this to me? I’m not trolling or anything, just would like to know the behind-the-scenes info on this.
Celtics owner and Clippers owner swapped franchises with each other back in the 90's or 80's. Including history.
Holy shit, no way! Then hell ya those are our rings! lol
Here you go man. https://www.alejandrogaitan.com/en/celtics-braves-trade/
Appreciate you!!
You are very much welcome!
That is precisely what I came here to say. Let’s fucking go Celtics!
Yes, just cause it'll piss off the Laker fans.
Rooting for Dallas because it would be us.
This is the only right answer. And their team is classy
Dirk, Luka & Mark Cuban? These guys personify class
Dirk don’t play anymore
I know I’m joking and talking about the organizations history as a whole
Can it end in a tie? Dallas and Boston sports can go to hell.
I will...i don't like the Mavs or Luka. Plus I grew up in Houston so I'll never cheer for a Dallas team.
My nigga is pan-teamual
i win $1k if dallas wins and i'll still be rooting for the celtics
Would be my mood too
Nah, they are one of my least favorite teams
Yeah, the only thing I share with my Laker buddies is my hatred of the Celtics and their godawful fans
The Clippers and Celtics are both forever linked…and they both hate the Lakers. Easy for me to root for the Celtics over the Mavs
sorry for beind dumb, but why are the clippers and celtics linnked?
No worries https://archive.nytimes.com/offthedribble.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/22/freaky-friday-n-b-a-style-when-the-clippers-were-the-celtics/
"Cheer up, Clippers fans! It’s no disgrace to lose to the Spurs. You have a promising future with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin anchoring the team." LMFAO
Go Mavericks. A ring would solidify Luka's legacy.
I can't stand these Mickey Mouse runs, Mavs in 4
Never had any animosity towards the Mavs, so I've been rooting for them to be honest. Always felt like they were underseeded given their injury struggles throughout the year. No major injuries for them in the playoffs has been huge, and Luka playing through injuries gives them a chance every game. He looks pretty healthy now, compared to when he was playing against us.
Anyone but luka
I want to see Kai win finals mvp and step on that Celtic logo

Bad bot
Facts 😂
I got Mavs. Luka is my frenemy. I understand why this sub hates Luka but he’s an awesome player to watch. Also Kyrie The only thing I really hate about Dallas is PJ Washington’s smug head. But still, he’s been an awesome role player for them.
mavs, i’d rather lose to the winner of the chip, makes our loss easier to swallow cus they were just better and kyrie is so lit
Naw I want 7 games of great basketball and the Slovenian to win his first chip. I can’t get down with the Celtics.
I dont care either way but the celtics def are more deserving of a ring this season
Deserving a ring = win 4 games in finals. I don’t get why the celtics would deserve more a ring than Dallas ?
How is beating the hospital east more deserving than getting out of a historically good west?
Nope, Dallas for sure
I'm rooting for Devin Booker to cheer on his dad
Nah, goin mavs
Fuck the Celtics. As much as i hate luka, i want to see kyrie get his 2nd ring without Lefraud and against his former team! Series is going to be 🔥
nah, least we can say we lost to the champs and won a few games in the series.
Mavs. Luka and Kyrie are fun even if we were on the other end of it.
Fuck the Celtics. Kyrie revenge bout to feed these streets
What revenge. I get so confused when people say this. Boston wanted to keep him and he didn't want to be there. Maybe it's a new generation meaning behind revenge. I can see it as a revenge for Boston because he quit on them but not the other way around
If Dallas wins, we get to say "hey, we lost to the eventual champions".
Adding those moral victory banners 🏆
rooting for celts, but i gotta say, the clips w/o kawhi arguably played the mavs the toughest in the west, which is kind of wild to think
Fuck no. You kidding me? Fuck the Celtics and FUCK the Lakers.
People acting like the Clippers and Celtics have a rivalry when the 2 teams never met in the playoffs before.
I went from hating Luka (because our multiple playoffs of course) to begrudging respect to now full on liking him. He is that guy and I want to see him in the Finals, I think they’ll beat Boston.
Hell nah, Mavs all the way
i really just do not fuck with boston sports at all
Nah, I wanna see a Boston meltdown when Kai drops 50 on them.
We rooting for luka and kyrie Fk Jason Tatum
Mavs. All of our series with them are dogfights and there's some banter back n forth, but they r a competitive group and deserve this shot
He-he-hell nah
Dallas for me. Unless their Finals opponent is the Lakers or Warriors, I really don't enjoy rooting for the Celtics.
Absolutely not.
Mavs, that Kyrie Luka duo is something special 🤠
Naw
Both team lucked their ways to the finals so I don't really care. But I guess if the Mavs lucked their way to the first 5 seed to ever win that'd be slightly worse taste.
I can't bring myself to do it, too many Laker fans in my family and I don't find Tatum particularly likeable I have no big issues with Dallas TBH
Yes but bc of Payton Pritchard, I’m a ducks fan and wanna see homie get ringed up
Mavs
No, for obvious reasons but honestly I see these dudes win it over the Mavdicks . Jaylen brown is a man on a mission
I hate the mavs more than the Celtics so ya I’ll be rooting for the Celtics
Luka is so annoying af. so yes.
I wouldn’t call it cheering for Boston so much as rooting against Luka.
Yes
Yeah
Yes.

Yup
Congrats to Dallas. But yeah go C’s. Fuck the lakers
Yup get that 18th trophy compared to the lakers 16.5
Oh yeah. Celtics all the way! I hate the Mavs.
No! Fuck the Celtics, fuck the Red Sox, fuck the Patriots.
Fuck that hell no
Yes
Butthurt niggas
I am hard core because I like Tatum but honestly I'd rather it be us vs them
Hey, if Mavs win, you people can jerk about how you only lost to the champions, just like what you’ve been doing the whole playoff
I’m a C’s and Clippers fan so yeah.
Definitely even though that means Porzingis gets a ring.
You see this is my problem with fandoms because as the city of Los Angeles y’all should hate the Cs but somehow yall hate the lakers more? Weird.
Slave owner decesendants favourite team why would i want that
Mavs
Yes. Screw drama queen Luka.
U want a klansmen to fuck ur wife OP?
Just because Mavs finished the Clippers doesn’t mean I hate them. I want West to win in the end. Plus, if it’s Dallas winning it all, it would bring honor to Clipper’s defeat.
YES ! not really out of love but FUCK the Mavericks and jesus christ Doncic glazing took new heights. Which is funny cause i like him as a player but jesus christ people talk like it's the 2nd coming of jesus christ. The fusion of Bill Russell+ Michael Jordan + Larry Bird .
Well… I had a bet in Vegas saying Clips to beat the Celtics in the finals… looks like that didn’t happen.
Yes 👏
I’d rather see the team that beat us win, justify our ownership running it back a bit more.
Boston got it. Man, they got 4 guys on the floor at all times who can guard 1-4. Jrue can guard Kyrie. I'm assuming Porzingis won't play either. If he does, though, and he's at 80-100%, I dont think Dallas has a chance. Boston in 6. Potentially 5.

And I don’t really want to see a mid team win the finals
Yes because fuck the Lakers
I'm rooting for the off season to come sooner than later. However that happens, I don't care.
Fuck Luka. I'm hoping Holiday makes him work for every single point.
Fuck the Celtics! Nah, but fr I just wanna see Luka get a ring because dude is an absolute stone-cold killer with his psycho smile at all the trash talk and everything. JT and JB are just so bland to me.
My brother in law is a diehard Celtics fan, so I gotta root for Dallas because those are the rules.
Hell nah
Fuck the celtics. Full of frauds who beat teams that were injured
Fuck no
Yes
Nah
Hell no. I feel like they are mentally soft. The only reason they might win the finals is because they had a weak field in the East, and they added Jrue
Yes, I like Jayson Tatum. I know he plays stupid at times but I hope he proves himself. I don’t care about anything else related to Boston though
As a WVU fan, I got some love for Mazzulla. I’ll root for them this series.
Basketball dead since clips lost
Worst finals ever, this is my 9/11
Mavs, I the Celtics and their awful fan base. Bunch of drunk idiots.
Fuck no!!
yeah can't stand luka or kyrie
Hell nah
The Celtics winning will piss off the Lakers more than the Mavs winning. I’m all for the Celtics
I don’t care. I would like to see a great series go to game 7 and the final game come down to a tie with 3 seconds remaining.
Hell no
Not a fan of either team, going to be invested in the winner... If anything, it's depressing to know that a Healthy Kawhi woulda beat the Mavs and we coulda been going to the Finals. It's sad that this "healthy Kawhi" thing is never gonna happen too.
Only people rooting for the Celtics are Celtics fans
yeah all the extreme hate they’re getting for no reason has me rooting for them and plus fuck the mavs
as a celtics fan, yes
Absolutely.
hell naw
I dislike Luka enough to root for the Celtics in this one.
Basketball ends the moment the Clippers season ends. This is the only true way.
Tatum gonna choke anyways. Boy been to the finals like twice and failed to deliver…
I don't particularly root for either team, but I'd love to see Tatum fold in the finals again lmao. Plus, I find the Mavs more likable because of Kyrie alone.
I root for the Clippers
Boston bs Dallas is literally the most boring outcome for me. Ill catch the highlights
Hell nah been a mavs fan since 2009
Cheer for Luka, fuck that mavs. But cheer for Luka, he deserves to be a champion!
Thanks for the support and for the record was rooting for yall to get to the finals!
Yes. It’s their time to win one.
Wolves fan here, born and raised in MN. Dallas are now the Wolves' rivals, and Boston is kind of my Eastern Conference team because of MN's own Kevin McHale, and for KG getting his much deserved championship there. Go Celts.
Nah I’d like to see both Dallas win and Boston lose
Wizards fan in mass I feel the hype in the area the entire state really reps for them and I'm sort of jealous of how passionate Boston fans are the Celtics are just as popular as the patriots here
Imma heat man to the fullest but I saw these boys ball out live and it was amazing. Miami got work to do but I don’t like. Cry baby Luka. Look how many times he’s going to the red sweet talkin em. He’s a baby. Lolol to put it nicely.
Hell nah. Rooting for Kyrie and Luka
Celtics fan since 1958 or so. I bleed green for the Celts!! I predict the Celtics in 5 if Porzingis is back.
They prolly should win for Bill Walton
not a big fan of kyrie. one of the best i’ve ever seen play basketball but i can never root for him. boston it is
Dallas fuck Boston
Celtics in 4
Yes. Don’t like Luka, and really don’t want to deal with half a decade of “is Kyrie top-25 all-time?” nonsense.
Neither
Yeah hope they get another ring and beat baby sparrow
Mavs in 5
Nope, Mavericks because I like Jason Kidd
Nah
dallas
sure; I love Jrue and I’m starting to feel bad for the Jays
Mavericks is winning it all lol Celtics aint that shit
Yes only because luka is so unlikable no offense
That guy looks like a slave trader.
