NBA Thread 2019-20 Season

[Alsacs]

Without a doubt there is no player in watching the NBA this year or even the last 5 years, that pushes off or hooks more then Jayson Tatum. That gets his mid game going.

So sad to see the NBA trying to create a star like this.

And before a certain Celts fan calls me out like he did in the first game about being a homer, you have been whining about refs the entire series since them.

I think Toronto is losing because Siakam isn’t playing like a number 1 option.
Celtics defense has him locked down right now.
Lowry’s grit and Ibaka’s Shooting are keeping this close.

Celtics aren’t shooting well but Brown is playing well which is giving them enough scoring.

Toronto needs Siakam to play like an all-star.

Also Tatum is 22 and is a stud. The NBA isn’t making him anything. His defense is really good and offense is already good.

He is a top 15 player right now on the way to top 10.

Sorry all.
Those that know me over the years, know that I can run pretty hot for a few minutes, then regret my comments a few minutes later.

That being said if Marc Gasol starts this second half, I will be running hot once again.

No worries at all.

I hate these calls. Both guys are moving forward.

 

[jncuse]

Perhaps that was the right call by the letter of the law. But it's a call that's need more judgment -- they try to take all the judgment out of flagrants, and it doesn't always make sense. Should not be a flagratn.

 

[Alsacs]

Toronto can't miss this quarter. Dominant quarter from them.

 

[jncuse]

Probably because I miss the small things, but from afar I just think that Robert Williams should be playing more for the Celtics... he gets things done while he is out there.

 

[jncuse]

Bad turnover for Tatum, but an amazing recovery... great block. That could be the type of play that shifts momentum.

 

[Cusefan0307]

This game is getting chippy.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Lowry does NOT want to go home.

I've had to edit this post three times now. Maybe I don't need another beer.

 

[Alsacs]

Nick Nurse act on the sideline does get annoying. This isn't college basketball. It's pro basketball.

I enjoy his enthusiasm.

FVV murdered Kemba on that drive. Yikes

 

[Alsacs]

Screw these refs.

 

[samspann1]

These refs are horrific

NBA wants to extend this series.

 

[Alsacs]

LOL thank you Mark Jackson for calling out Nurse.
He is like a college coach such a clown.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

I think Toronto has spent their energy.

 

[samspann1]

Should have been a T on Nurse.

also, the lack of ball movement when the Celtics are on offense is painful to watch

 

[Alsacs]

They called a Technical on Tatum?

Are you kidding me

 

[Cusefan0307]

Toronto is getting a good whistle here down the stretch.

 

[samspann1]

LOL, Theis gets hit on the face every time down the court, and he can’t buy a call

 

[Alsacs]

My god these calls ARE ALL GOING TORONTO'S WAY

 

[OrangeDW]

I actually like Kemba, but every stop on a dime pullup midrange jumper off a crossover that he hits brings back horrific memories of that mediocre UConn team winning it all.

 

[OrangeDW]

Those Stevens inbound plays...so good.
