Series Thread: 2nd Round: 1) Celtics vs 4) Cavs

[bksballer89]

24 - 5 FT disparity @ Cavs down Donovan Mitchell is just some nasty work haha.

I can’t say shit because I’ve been watching the Phils and just checking in now.

I watched a total of 5 minutes and saw a missed flagrant on brown, holiday hit a cavs player on the forearm on a 3 pt attempt, and a bogus call on Garland that was thankfully reversed but for all of those things to happened in the limited time i watch tells me it wasn't a great officiated game

I for one am so happy the Celts only play the east during the entire regular season.

Are you this gay wherever you post most of the time when your team isn’t in the playoffs?

 

[NWPATSFAN]

to be fair, that's their best bet.

I read a stat during the heat series that said teams that shoot more 3s than the Celtics had a ridiculous record against them.

of course....you actually have to make them too.....

Not disagreeing but don't cry about not getting to the FT line when that happens.

 

[bksballer89]

For all the brainiacs out here, who would you replace Mazz with?

literally anyone

When has a NBA game been officiated great in the past two decades?

True...but you can't have that disparity in 3's AND cry about a free throw disparity.

Great input. Thanks for playing. You're the weakest link.

When you dominate the league with KD warriors level metrics you shoiod probably get some…in theory.

But totally dragging ass through these offs shows how much he sucks

Look at their personnel though.

Their are a few teams who have a better top player than Tatum.

How many have a better #2 than Brown?

3, 4, 5 than White, Holliday, Porzingas?

And quality depth beyond that.

They should be dominating. They are the most talented team in the league by a pretty decent margin.

So lazy to just vote for the coach of the team with the best record. In this case I don’t think Mazz has a lot to do with that.

Based on the challenge can we start with @tlance ??

Oh some here can find a way. These were the same kids who had reserved seats on the short bus.

oh i don't disagree.

I'm just saying that when you blitz the league like that you're gonna get votes by default.

There are more teams that have a better #2 than brown than you think. He's one of the most overrated guys in the league IMO.

not with that attitude you can't.....

 

[trojanfan12]

Both teams fought hard and it isn’t even about the FT disparity. That shit will happens.

They missed THREE easy calls, that were unacceptable. One they replayed!!

Horford fouls Garland bc his lower body hits him on the block

Brown grabs Strus’ leg to trip him, that could cause an injury, no T called

Merrill gets hit on the arm at the end of half

3 calls huh?

Must be why they lost.

 

[tlance]

Again, not much evidence Mazzulla is in over his head these playoffs (yet anyway_

Not much evidence he brings anything to the table either though.

It is working. Not saying he should lose his job. Celtics could still win a title.

But I am confident in saying Mazula is not the reason why.

 

[bksballer89]

When has a NBA game been officiated great in the past two decades?

Several

None. Every single one of them we could do better than those idiot refs.
