Are we going to see another Celtics meltdown in crunch time, in a close game down

I believe Tatum hasn’t scored so far in the 4th quarter

The answer: YES

 

[UpstateSM]

That’s a rough handful of possessions for Grant Williams

 

[OrangeDW]

Butler giving it to Williams, lmao.

 

[samspann1]

I’ll take that drive and dish another 4-5 times and be just fine with it.

Lol…passes up a wide open three and turns it over.

Why does Al Horford get so many minutes? He’s washed.

 

[samspann1]

Horford is washed

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Why does Al Horford get so many minutes? He’s washed.

Was just going to say this. Must go back to Rob

 

[samspann1]

Lol…Gabe Vincent shakes Tatum. Tatum is not a winning player

 

[Cuse4455]

Gabe Vincent has huge nuts lmao

 

[OrangeDW]

He seems to solely be good at guarding Embiid these days, for whatever reason.

 

[samspann1]

Lol, travel much?

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Lol, travel much?

Unreal

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Bad loss

 

[samspann1]

The Celtics are who we thought they were

Gabe Vincent with more FGs in the 4th quarter than Tatum. Dude is a front running chump.

 

[samspann1]

Unreal

Refs don’t impact games though…

 

[OrangeDW]

They should make Williams walk to Miami. Everything was cool until he popped off.

Leave Jimmy ALONE, smh.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Refs don’t impact games though…

They get paid to do that….

 

[samspann1]

They get paid to do that….

It’s funny - so much complaining about the officials in the NBA thread, but doing so during SU games is frowned upon and criticized. Very odd, IMO.

Maybe, but at least Williams didn’t play scared in the 4th quarter like his teammates did. The Celtics find way to lose close games - it’s what they do.

 

[UpstateSM]

I just put way too much money on Heat +2.5 games.

The coaching advantage is worth at least one game.

We call that a layup

 

[samspann1]

We call that a layup

I’m not a big better, but if the Hawks were able to take 2 games against the Celtics, Heat +2.5 was a gimme, regardless of the coaching factor

Multiple friends who know basketball told me today they still thought Celtics in 5. I couldn’t believe that we watch the same games.

I’m stunned that people here thought so highly of the Celtics, as recently as a week or two ago. Have you not been watching them play???

 

[NineOneSeven]

Butler is just one of those players. He would have fit in in the 80s and 90s like a glove. Just his type of game.

Heat are playing extremely good bball right now.

 

[NineOneSeven]

That face to face was also AWESOME. Love when guys like Reggie and Shaq, Chuck, Kenny see those moments because you know they love that competitiveness.
