You want Boston, Philly?
Oh, no, you don't!!!
How was the ball movement vs ISO ratio?
Watching JT, one never would have guessed he had a torn Achilles LESS than a year ago. Almost a triple double. Incredible 💚🍀
What a fantastic game for this squad. Came out strong at home and left no doubt in anyone’s mind that Boston is not to be slept on. Let’s bring this same energy for G2! And the “WE WANT BOSTON” chants from the Garden crowd were trolling at its absolute best! Thanks JK!

Development time? My wife says it should be called Mommy Time because all of the young players moms are so proud to see them in the game.
Garbage time is a fine name. No one is offended by it.
I am rooting for the Celtics or the Nuggets.
Sorry I don't think Tatum is strong enough to be considered an elite player.
Disposal Time
To borrow a quote from Moses Malone: " Fo, fo, fo, fo =#19 ", fifteen more wins to go.
Instead of garbage time how about “Glory Time” bench players finally getting their chance in the spotlight while victory lapping the opposition?
A lot of things went as planned which is a terrific sign for the playoffs
Garbage time = empty calories?
John, I'm glad you asked that question and love that it's a segment on the pod. Was honestly my favorite question of his presser.
Not garbage time, it is development time!
How bout end of game minutes
You want Boston? YOU GOT BOSTON!!!
Narrator: They, in fact, did not want Boston.
No take backs Philly 😂
You asked we gave it
