If the Kings hound ball handlers like this instead of helping down, playoffs are on the radar.

^^ That guy's going to have to get a whole new arm... Maybe they can send his old arm over to Sudan or somewhere, like they do with the "Championship" T-shirts of the team that lost.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Nah, Wiseman is Bagley 2.0. Even if the guy is solid next year, he's still going to be the oft-injured guy they passed on Lonzo for.

Did you mean Melo?

 

[Tetsujin]

The Otto Porter/Draymond front court is causing the Celtics all sorts of issues right now. They're so switchable that the Warriors are pretty much just letting the Celtics look for switches knowing that they'll still be able to recover.

 

[Tetsujin]

Otto Porter playing himself out of the Kings' price range tonight.

 

[Tetsujin]

Not sure it's ever been said before but this Steph Curry guy is a pretty good shooter.

 

[Sluggah]

Leaving the Warriors open for three is an interesting strat for a must win game.

 

[The Effort Police]

I gave the Celtics too little credit, but still the fact that it took 7 games to close out Miami and even then went down to the wire should have meant the Celtics had no chance.

I guess at this point I was hoping the championship game would be in the opposing arena, so I can see dejection for some fanbase I hate. If it went to Game 7 I would've rooted for the Celtics.

This is so immensely disrespectful LMFAO

 

[SLAB]

I despise Stephen.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jaylen Brown has been better than Tatum pretty much this entire series.

 

[SLAB]

I blame this all on Khris Middleton for hurting his knee.

 

[Tetsujin]

Why're they booing Robert Parish?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I despise Stephen.

See, I'm conflicted: I don't like Curry's game, but I love it when players showboat. I'm basically the opposite of @ppine, in that regard.

 

[miltonap]

cutting this to 10 by the end of the 3rd would be a big win for the celtics imo

 

[Tetsujin]

If Mike Brown made Steph buy into defense THIS much, imagine what he could do with De'Aaron Fox.

And Jaden Ivey.

 

[Tetsujin]

And Jaden Ivey. Saddiq Bey, Keegan Murray, and Shaedon Sharpe.

Fixed.

 

[Tetsujin]

Mateen sighting!

 

[SLAB]

There is nothing I want more than for Stephen to lose after that stupid ring taunt.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

There is nothing I want more than for Stephen to lose after that stupid ring taunt.

Probably not as much as I want Boston fans to have to watch the Bill Russell Finals MVP trophy be awarded to someone from the opposing team, in their own building!

 

[Tetsujin]

Tatum gonna get stuck with the "unclutch" moniker people finally stopped giving to Lebron.

Tatum gonna get stuck with the "unclutch" moniker people finally stopped giving to Lebron.

And LeBron was clearly dominant. How strong are you Tatum? Boston fans can be brutal.

 

[Tetsujin]

For a second it looked like Brown tore his Achilles.

 

[Sluggah]

This Wiggins flirting with a 5x5 is nutty.

 

[Tetsujin]

The Celtics forgetting how to play defense when it matters the most.

 

[Tetsujin]

Steph stealing Boston's souls.

 

[SacTownKid]

The Celtics might have missed their chance this season. Kind of like the Heat a few years back and the Suns now. A healthy Bucks, a revamped Nets, and an on the ball Sixers could very well change the east next year. Are the C's a tax team? If they only have a TP MLE they are going to have a hard time finding the scoring punch they need. This is a lesson to not fill out your entire team with defensive role players. You need 3-4 offensive studs.

 

[Sluggah]

Welp. My night is about to be loud.
