(3) Warriors vs (2) Celtics 2021-22 FINALS

[tlance]

He had the worst +/- on the team. Is it his team or no? Smart had a better +/- than White and Williams was only -6

Cmon man.

You are only allowed to use stats that make Tatum look good.

You didn’t get the memo?

 

[tlance]

It seemed like the Warriors didn't overhelp on Tatum like they did in game 1. Is this accurate or just my imagination?

Not your imagination.

Totally different game plan.

Celtics have too many good players to focus the defense on stopping 1 guy.

 

[tlance]

Yep just NBA refs not doing their basic job. I get you can't call it on everyplay but should be a point of emphasis IMO

But it isn’t a point of emphasis and they have probably been instructed to be lenient on these plays.

 

[YankeeRebel]

Literally nobody here is saying he is bad.

All the anti-Tatum speak is targeted at 1 poster who literally thinks he is an all time great player already and on track to be the GOAT.

Well you should know how homerish NE fans can be

 

[Montalban]

Curry looks really good and it was nice to see Poole play better. Thompson is a real problem though. He looks awful

 

[redseat]

Will the Boston Media STFU!!

Morons were saying all day yesterday how the Warriors have no shot to win, the Cs have this in the bag. I say again STFU!

 

[Montalban]

I heard something interesting in that Green tried to get one tech because he knows that after that he can get away with almost anything since he knows the refs will not kick him out of the game with a second T

 

[The Q]

People bitch about how the refs never call traveling in the NBA but don't realize many of the times, the players aren't actually traveling. Moving Screens, however, is actually the thing that never gets called that people should be upset about. It happens all the time. Even egregious ones like this don't get called. Like I'm sure you know, Grant Williams and Al Horford never stopped on basically every screen in that Heat series and I think they called it once.

They most likely are traveling, or, the nba makes up a non basketball rule to write it away

They’ve done that at least twice

First making 2 complete steps legal to cover for lebrons illegal crab dribble and ginobilis eurostep.

Then with this gather step bullshit

Moving screens are 100% an issue

Becuase the nba is sports entertainment

Least K2T shut up for a minute...

Has that Tatum fan-boy jinxed the Celtics yet by guaranteeing they'll win games 3 & 4? Seems like something he'd say.

I just don't get how the Warriors can get away with this year after year especially in the biggest moments. Do the refs just not care? Why do you think fans are frustrated that Curry is open at times....there is your answer. Not saying it determined last nights' game but I've seen it for years now. Bogut admitted to it. Refs have a blind eye for it.

Indeed. What else do you think it would be?

Why doesn't everyone do it then? Or maybe they all do?

 

[Shanemansj13]

My guy breaking records!

GOAT. I only got to watch the first half but other than him making 3's Tatum really wasn't making an impact so the box score doesn't surprise me. Lazy TO's, spotty defense....don't let the points fool you, he wasn't good.

Yes he has said this

It's part of Kerr's system. Kudos to him, shame on the refs. Their system is built around getting players open with moving screens.

FIFY. Don't act like EVERY SCREEN is illegal.
