Series Thread: 1) Miami Heat vs. 2) Boston Celtics

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I expect that the Warriors are going to send just about everyone at him at different times.

Wiggins, Looney, Draymond, The carcass of Iggy, Shaun Livingston, Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Chris Webber, Run TMC, Billy Owens, Rick Berry, Sprewell, Speedy Claxton.....lol

The Celtics won’t win many with Smart taking their last 5 shots

Yeah, that can't keep happening.

The Celtics won’t win many with Smart taking their last 5 shots

Smart is a riddle wrapped inside of an enigma on offense...

... he's a below average shooter overall... but he has a history of making big shots, he gets inexplicably hot at times, and never loses confidence to keep shooting.

They did.

Then, imo, that was a mistake.

To be fair, considering how open he was, not sure they would have gotten a better shot.

But Spo is one of the best in the game, so I would want to give him a chance to draw something up.

You gotta take your chances

And Nate Thurmond waiting for him at the rim. lol

 

[PPhan]

Yeah Jimmy doesn't care about the regular season. He plays within the game. Playoffs come and becomes aggressive and turns into the superstar that he can be

He could easily be a 26-28 PPG guy if he wanted to and be widely considered as a superstar. This playoffs is all the proof we need.

I’m also happy with Bam’s aggressiveness tonight. He kept swinging, that’s what I want from him in an elimination game. Make or miss go out swinging.

And taking them with 12 seconds on the shot clock while having the lead.

It was a solid look

But jimmy also had a weird take off

It wasn’t a clean smooth attempt.

Jaylon just said they let the Heat come back to keep it interesting.

Yes he was joking.

 

[Robotech]

Miami got such will... damn tough team.

I had a lot of respect for Jimmy Butler and Eric Spoelstra before this series... but it's 10 out of 10 respect now.

I never felt comfortable that the Celtics were gonna win until the buzzer sounded.

Heat pushed it to their absolute limit. Always love to see that in a sporting event.

Yeah, thats a good point.

On one hand, your best player got a wide open shot against an un-set defense.

On the other, you have one of the best in the game drawing up a play...but the defense will be set.

Cant complain either way.

Same

 

[Robotech]

Wiggins, Looney, Draymond, The carcass of Iggy, Shaun Livingston, Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Chris Webber, Run TMC, Billy Owens, Rick Berry, Sprewell, Speedy Claxton.....lol

And if we want to throw in a little crazy, let's bring back Matt Barnes!

 

[Manster7588]

Same

I thought it was too.

 

[msgkings322]

Who guards Tatum for the Warriors? Is it Wiggins or Draymond?

Both, and Payton. It's a team thing, switches and matchups.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

lol

If it was called The Hall of Good...You would be right.

But it's not.

I meant grant hill is in and he had like 2 great seasons lol

Jaylen with 4-6 all stars and 1-2 rings is a lock. He's only like 26 years old and Tatum is 24, they will be great for the next decade. Only thing difficult will be replacing Horford (maybe rob if he starts taking 3's).

 

[msgkings322]

He should eat Wiggins’s lunch

You been wrong on Wiggins all year. Dude's a legit defender. So keep being wrong.

 

[raptorlife4]

I have no problem with that shot. He’s the franchise and that’s an open look.

It was a horrible shot

 

[Robotech]

Jaylon just said they let the Heat come back to keep it interesting.

Yes he was joking.

They seriously were taking shots with 12 seconds left on the shot clock in the last two minutes. That did not seem wise.
