Two bigs was an unusual choice, given the circumstances. The small ball lineup also didn’t seem to work well. Let’s not do more of that, please. We need a more cowbell skit where it’s just “more Hauser”
NBA Finals, Game 5, June 17: Banner Day>Flag Day

Everything about the ABC pregame/halftime/postgame show is hot garbage. The league should be embarrassed and force Disney to hire a new crew. The NFL did just that for Monday Night Football.
I am 100% for a fan being kicked out for a racial slur.
I also think if the fan said "f you Kyrie" or "you suck Kyrie" then Breen should be ashamed of himself for what he said. Fans have a right to have an opinion, and Kyrie has some opinions which Breen should not be comfortable defending or protecting. Breen can ballwash stars all he wants, but this is a star who does not deserve that support, and he should know better.
I liked having all the active NBA players on at the half. Randle obviously uncomfortable but it’s far more interesting than SAS yelling about stars for 3 minutes
I didn't think that was an option. Assumed he would turn the volume up from inside my TV.
Winning a title wasn't going to be enough to get everyone off JTs back. He was still going to have detractors because he didn't have "the big game".
If he plays the second half like he did the first half, nobody can say shit to this man.
Put the haters to bed. Put the Tatum conversation to bed. But Kyrie to bed. Put fatty to bed.
Tuck 'em all in tight and go win a title.

Wait what?
I feel like you may not have read what I said?
I am saying that the person DID NOT say anything close to racial. 100% THIS FAN DID NOT SAY ANYTHING CLOSE TO A RACIAL SLUR (I am capitalzing for effect here)
if he did he would have been thrown out and Kyrie and Breen would have made a huge show of it. The fan wasn’t thrown out.
What you love about the Pritchard shot is that it’s this kind of thing that Luka gets hailed for - the clutch Magic shot from deep
He also knows exactly what he's implying. Breen is an asshole and Kyrie is an asshole.
These are two very different things. If you’re sticking up for Kyrie because you believe he may have been called a racial slur, that is exactly what one should do. If you’re sticking up for him for other reasons, then sure.
this is literally what I was saying but you replied as if I forgive racial slurs
Ugh. Like Auger is saying, if someone dropped the N word then that guy would’ve been tossed. And rightfully so. It happened at the broadcast table, there’d be no hiding that.
As noted, there's no way he was called a racial slur. Breen 100% would have said that and there would have been a huge reaction from Kyrie and probably others nearby in that situation.
Congrats to Breen, he managed to make people assume the worst as he intended.
Celts have won three Finals games this year when the Sox won. Sox lost on Friday and we know what happened next.
Hauser’s energy defensively and shooting were so huge.
Jrue early scoring when guys were tentative was huge.
Tatum settled in then went attack mode which is Peak Tatum.
And cbssports.com's box score as well. Gotta believe that he truly only has 2. Which might be very important.
There were likely other members of the media who heard what was said. We’ll find out after the game.
Is it an indictment to say that any other show I'd hate to break up their chenistry, but on ESPN I wish it was ALL current players?! Yeesh
