What? Warriors are playing mavs cupcake defense

Celtics had to go through a brutal jrue/Lopez/Giannis/tucker/butler/bam defense

That's 6 all defense guys and Lowry who is better defender then any mav

You can’t make up your mind if Smart even needs to be in the lineup now all the sudden they are world beaters with him. Find something to level you out a little.

Celtics will be the best defense the Ws face in the playoffs, and it will be the toughest series. I got Warriors in 7 and very glad they have home court. Probably not much more than a coin flip, maybe 55/45 Warriors. With the Warriors all healthy there's really too many scorers for any defense to stop all of them. Meanwhile the Ws have really good defense too (better now with Payton back).

This is correct. But you're being a Celtics homer anyway.

Tatum choking badly here in the 3rd quarter missing two shots back-to-back from point blank. You can see the fear in his eyes.

 

[The Q]

Dipo been an underrated part of this series, giving some quality minutes

And he's your best player. You hate to see it.

The rest and health are huge for the dubs regardless of who wins tonight

I wasn't quite ready to give smart the benefit of the doubt. But after tonight I am

White was kind of outplaying him 1st half though

LOL.

Not even close.

White made a couple 3s and had a nice drive.

He also got abused by Butler and he turned the ball over 3 times, including a pick 6 to Butler seconds after entering the game.

White is a good player for Boston and deserves his minutes, but I am not sure what game you are watching to say that.

 

[The Q]

If you said the Celtics would hold Butler to 3 points I’d think the lead would’ve gotten stretched out.

Pts per shot ratio he was better at least

Big al to jay teeeeeee

Woooooo

 

[bksballer89]

Jackson is so bad as a commentator

 

[Manster7588]

with smart playing like this, celtics are not losing to anybody not even warriors

They swept nets when he played like this

Its like having 3 all stars and the best defense team in the league

OK who hacked the new guys account

 

[tlance]

Miami showing a ton of heart, but they are exerting so much energy and just not able to cut the lead.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

Celtics have had control but still always too close for comfort

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

OK who hacked the new guys account

His posts have a familiar stench to them. I just can't quite place the smell.

Barely.

And the rest wasn’t particularly close.

 

[The Q]

Celtics are basically doing it with 7 guys with Pritchard and theis barely playing

Not surprising on theis since bam ate his lunch in 2020

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

OK who hacked the new guys account

I'm not afraid to say I was wrong. Smart has balled out and played smart (no pun intended)
