Good GAWD.

I know he is tired.

But, that just wasn't wise.

Horford backing off. I understand his thinking there

 

[fightinfunbags]

Who tries?

Wiggins, Klay....

Haven’t watched his defense too much recently. They’re on really late for this East Coast guy. Is he a step off from his Pre knee days or same ole Klay?

Meh, Im not going to criticize Butler for that shot. He was wide open.

No, I agee.

He carried them.

He's the best player.

It was his decision.

I just wish he would have made a different choice because they were my pick.

Gonna be the 1st finals appearance for Big Al.
Props to him.

Exactly. I have no problem with it at all. He made a shot just like that earlier in the game. It is what it is.

Me too.

 

[fightinfunbags]

It is a fine shot. I'm not going to complain. He played all 48 i believe. Don't think OT was on his mind.

The role players didn't show up. Butler, Bam, and Lowry scored 75 of the 96 points. That's not heat basketball

And at home too. Looked to me like the Celtics plan was to lock down the role guys and not let them get anything.

Robert might eat DNPS in finals. He hasn't really done much of anything these playoffs. They actually usually dominate offensively with him off court. But guys still want to say "BLOCK SHOTS he's the anchor". Ok I rather start grant in finals

Step off, unfortunately.

Hope Porter and The Mitten can contribute.

No doubt. Shoulda passed that off or went to the hole himself...

Definitely take it to the hole. One on one, I like Jimmy to finish against Horford or draw the foul.

 

[bksballer89]

This game showed why a healthy herro or a player better than him is needed.

 

[Gman]

Butler can do whatever he wants... he's such a killer... impossible to criticize a wide open look for the win...

... that said: a full speed then full-stop 3-pointer isn't his best game.

Where the hell is the Warriors/Celtics thread?

Im just happy bam showed up big time. People love to criticize him but he showed up in the biggest game of his basketball career

Udoka not wearing a mask?

Someone start it already! It's been too long.

The Warriors defense isnt terrible but it’s not Heat level. We should see Tatum have a better series.

He could have gone to the hole as well.

Might have gotten a And 1.

But, he earned the right to take the shot.

 

[trojanfan12]

Too much time left.

I dont know. It gave them time to get the rebound and another shot. Or to play the foul game. I prefer taking the last shot, but I understand the reasoning behind an earlier shot.

Either way, Im good with my best player taking a wide open shot.

Did the Heat have any timeouts left?

If they did and didnt use it, that would be the mistake, imo.
