Trash talk in the NBA Eastern Conference has already begun
Marcus Morris and Tristan Thompson battle for a rebound in the second half of Game 4 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.Three-time NBA champion LeBron James might be gone, but Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson isn’t about to relinquish the team’s title chances just yet.
“We’re still four-time Eastern Conference champions,” Thompson said Thursday. “Until you take us down from that, teams ain’t got much to say. Boston, Philly, they ain’t got much to say. Boston had home court Game 7 and lost. Philly, you guys almost got swept. Toronto, we know that story, so until someone takes us down, there’s not much for everyone to say.”
