Im so blown man.

Thissa wrap.

They aint boutta win in front of that boston crowd.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Amazing Game. For all the vitriol Jimmy has gotten and about to get, I appreciate him putting his body on the line, though evidently out of sorts.

Caleb, Gabe, Duncan-- them dudes are fighters and earned their cut.

C's deserve all the respect for not giving in. Not sure this Heat team has any place in the Finals, but for their morale, they gotta fight

Ok... despite the win...

Celtics playing prevent offense on themselves with a big lead has been a problem for years now. Going back to the 2020 Toronto series in the bubble. They're barely getting the ball across half court to beat the 8 second count.

Can just copy & paste this whenever the Celtics have a seemingly comfortable 4th quarter lead. They start playing way too slow offensively and stop getting good shots. I've seen this movie before.

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO GO OVER THIS?! YOU CANNOT MILK EVERY SECOND OFF THE CLOCK JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SMALL LEAD IN THE 4TH QUARTER. YOU NEED TO CONTINUE TO PUT POINTS ON THE BOARD. YOU NEED TO GET INTO YOUR OFFENSE WITH MORE THAN 6 SECONDS ON THE SHOT CLOCK. YOU'RE TAKING YEARS OFF MY LIFE. YES, Vincent Van Goat I HAVE HAD IT.

This loss is 100% on Bum AdeBumo. His Tech was the difference in the game.

Just happy we got a Monday game now

a boston blowout?

 

[lawdog1]

Being on the verge of seeing something that’s never happened in NBA history before is pretty dope.

 

[sneeker]

the way these 2 eastern teams play, they are food for the Nuggets.

 

[picasso swerve]

Might be Spo's fault for telling Strus to turn his back like that to defend the inbounds, allowing White to sneak in.

I was about to just type this. Shoudda just said to stick with him and play straight up.

 

[chao7]

Somehow survived a 7-35 to 14-30 3pt shooting disparity. Crazy.

It's crazier than that:

 

[Cashflow]

Nope nope nope nope

Spo fault duncan was so wide open and missed

You’re trying to work me into a shoot!

 

[elpablo21]

"Don't let us get 1"

I def laughed at this when they first said it but they actually did it

 

[storm2006]

WHAT THE ACTUAL F did Bam Adebayo do today.. I never wanna see this guy make the AST again

What about when he’s on Team USA in 2024?

 

[tomdiginson]

They really 7/35 from 3 and was still able to pull off a win?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

You’re trying to work me into a shoot!

He shouldn’t have dude in who gave up the o board bro

good emote usage because THAT is where the "don't let us get 1 started"

 

[osh kosh bosh]

This the same setup the Lakers tried to run
Lakers had more length but really weren't perimeter defenders.

Nuggets can counter with forcing the switch on a Jokic screen with Al getting put on an island having Murray pick him off. Williams gets into a ton of foul trouble, and the next big they gonna play is Grant Williams. Not as easy at it seems.

Difference is Lakers best defenders who could excecute the scheme couldn't score.

Boston's guys are all semi decent to good offensive players.

They have a better chance of pulling it off.

 

[tupac003]

Bout to be parked right here for game 7...wow

 

[lawdog1]

I took issue with the newbie guy because I feel like all the Celtics fans posters have been in here all along, the entire season. I can’t think of any bandwagoners. Am I wrong?

 

[antidope]

What about when he’s on Team USA in 2024?

He encapsulates everything that America is. Fraudulent

 

[ill steelo]

Even if spo wins game 7, he needs to go

Why would he be having Duncan out there that long?!!!!

You can criticize him for having Strus ignore White.

But Duncan Robinson is the biggest reason Boston didn’t run away in the 4th quarter.

If he didn’t foul so much, he should actually be playing more often, not less.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Game 7 before I get back into the work week is ideal

 

[BennyIll22]

They really 7/35 from 3 and was still able to pull off a win?

The Heat shot 35% lol

 

[allergic2broke]

This one is rough. Miami had it and they not getting no game 7 man.

Miami should just stay home

 

[elpablo21]

good emote usage because THAT is where the "don't let us get 1 started"

Don't think I knew that of someone or Manny saying it back then
