Tatum just doesn’t handle physicality well.

 

[OrangeDW]

Tatum never blocks out

I blame Coach K, personally.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Old head Al looks every one of his 36 years tonight. Bad

 

[Cusefan0307]

Curry might be able to sit the rest of this one out at this rate.

 

[Cuse4455]

Celtics played this game like they were up 3-0 and could afford a game 5 lol. Just lazy pathetic ball.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Is Udoko waving the white flag?

 

[samspann1]

36 points for the Celtics in the last 27:00+

Cs can’t keep getting in these holes. I know they came back in game 1, but you can’t bank on that.

Draymond is really annoying and can’t hit a jump shot to save his life.

Grant Williams is also very annoying.

I keep changing my mind on Tatum being in the very elite of the NBA. Dunno, he may be the level below.

 

[Cusefan0307]

These first two games have been extremely weird. Lots of guys on both teams have played poorly.

Green with 2 fantastic lead blocks on the Curry three

Honestly have no idea what an illegal screen looks like anymore. Payton does the same thing.

And they’ve been better this year with calling them.

Bottom line Celtics role players are not as good as game 1 and not as poor as game 2. They are somewhere in the middle. In my eyes, Boston is clearly the more well rounded and deeper team. I guessed warriors in 6 because I thought Boston wouldn’t be healthy after the ECF and wondered how they would close games. I think Boston wins this now considering those questions were answered (at least somewhat), but if they don’t they’ll have to really beat themselves.

Not sure the Celtics are deeper, but their starters outside of Curry are better.

That said Klay has been absolutely terrible and Wiggins has done nothing on offense so I think both sides have players that can give more.

I think this series is going 7 games, but Boston needs to find a way to score besides 3 pointers because they are getting nothing Inside the arc which I did not see happening.

One of my biggest pet peeves with todays league. Illegal screens are so insanely pervasive. The Bucks loss in the bubble to Miami was largely because Bam would set a screen and when the defender tried to chase the shooter around the screen, Bam would just run them out to half court and create a ton of separation for open 3’s. 3’s are already too easy and valuable as is and the moving screens make it even more so.

They need to go back to the early to mid 90’s logo that was actually painted on the court and was iconic with a lot of fans childhood in this thread.

Al should have had 10 in the paint last night, but he was too slow in all his moves and screwed up by passing or taking a way crazy shot.

Still worried about Rob Williams knee and him being able to contribute anything at all.

Sheed better be seen on the sidelines wearing the championship belt he had custom made.

 

[OrangeDW]

I like this guy.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

He run out of smack ?

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Agree. I do agree with JVG that guys like Draymond and Marcus Smart get more leeway than guys who don’t do sht. The officials officiate toward reputation.

Worked for Pitt Panthers for the 10 years Krouser and Troutman were there

It’s simple. Elite isn’t what is your best .. (tatums is as good as anyones) elite is based on consistent dominance . Every player , even the greatest ever, have off games , even during the playoffs (yes jordan too ) but not like 1/3 of your games are crap., that ain’t elite

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Ham already blowing smoke up Westbricks ass. That’s not going to get him to toe the line .. it’s going to compel him to be more destructive
