Playing Peek-A-Boo With The Cameras, And More Of This Week's Best Sports Moments
There is no better source of hilarious quotes than the Boston Celtics players and coaches. For some reason, this year, they are the best and most reliable place for pre and post game interviews. Just a wonderful well of quotes, and I hope they lose every single game they play.
MVP of the Week: James Harden and John Hao
James Harden lit up the Celtics in game four, and dedicated the big game to John Hao, his special guest of honor. Hao, a Sixers fan, is a survivor of the Michigan State shooting and was paralyzed after the attack. He has since developed a bond with James Harden, who invited him to the game.
Bigger than basketball 🙏

This is a bad look and a bad tweet and a bad quote.
YOU LOST IN THE FIRST ROUND IN FIVE AND THEN EVERYONE FORGAVE YOU IMMEDIATELY BC YOU SAID A POWERADE COMMERCIAL IN YOUR POST GAME. EVERYONE LOVES YOU AND DIDNT EVEN MENTION THE FACT YOU COULDNT HIT A FREE THROW AND RAN FROM THE BALL. WHAT DISRESPECT!?!? https://t.co/1JKp7mesYJ

Best Moments of the Week
This was a nice tribute.
Thank you, @CleGuardians. Much appreciation. Nick loved Cleveland - especially the people of Cleveland. The parade in 2016 was one of the happiest days of his life. He also attended the last game of the 2016 World Series with me, pulling for Cleveland with everything he had. https://t.co/o309ujJglF

Why couldn't the Mets get Juan Soto...
The Padres gave away a dog calendar for today’s game. Every month features a picture with a player and his dogs — except August. Juan Soto, who has pet allergies, instead went to a nearby pet store and took his in front of a fish tank. pic.twitter.com/KdHzbdZDOX
