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

And it sounds like he'd be the type...

Wait I got it. Why didn't I think of this before.

It was so obvious and yet I missed it at first, dammit.

No LeBron hasn't been known to fade then or really ever

It is that same tired nonsense from the finals vs. Mavs after his first season with the Heat, when he kept deferring to D-Wade in the 4th quarter that some of the casuals think is somehow still a thing.

Not starting rob Williams and starting Grant is what got celtics to the finals. Now all of a sudden it's the finals and you start rob. STUPID.

Apparently in the 2nd half rob also was injured (for the 2032th time these playoffs). I'm not trying to be a dick but I hope rob never plays again these playoffs. Always lost and shook and just not doing any good out there really.

Bam was a totally different player when Williams played.

Ya but the point remains that Lebron has been known to fade when the lights were the brightest. I thought it was kinda funny but whatev.

Please do not put Lebron in the same convo as Bird or MJ. Dear Lord no.

Eh, that did happen that first finals in Miami.

But, I can't actually remember another time when he faded in a big moment.

Yes, he lost to the Spurs in 2014.

But, it wasn't because he laid down.

It was because the Spurs had the better team.

Ditto for the losses to the Dubs.

They were better.

People forget basketball is a team game

Dubs looked good game 2

That's deep, man

Lol isn’t it ?

Smart isn’t a 3 and D guy. You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

he's a d and brick 3 guy.

but yeah i agree he doesn't actually make the threes at a consistent rate.

 

[fightinfunbags]

He’s a point guard. 3 and D guys play off ball. You heard a basketball buzz term and now you’re misapplying it like the casual you are.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

I would think the Celtics being 5-4 at home doesn't help much either.

despite some bad losses at home.

Celtics these playoffs at home are still +50 in point spread

he's not a traditional point guard. he is a natural 3 and d guy who passes from time to time.

Smart's a role player right? Along with every other DPOY award winner.

I loved that movie about the Guardians!!

Maybe they should have saved some of that to use in the 4 losses?

game 5 vs bucks was a massive fluke though. That game was all but over until Smart started playing like he was drunk.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

I can see if it was a big team like bucks with giannis\lopez

but how the f*ck do you start horford\rob against a team like warriors that loves to spread the floor and shoot threes all day

i don't want to see that shit again. Put Grant at the four, Tatum at the four, White at the four. Anybody but slow witted Rob.

The good news is I don't see Jaylen Brown having a 44% TS again any time soon. He might actually knocks the warriors ass out in the 1st half like he did against bucks in game 2.

Game 2

celtics are 6-0 after losses these playoffs though and they usually beat the hell out of teams.

I would be absolutely stunned if warriors win game 3.

It's game 4 i'm worried about.
