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

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

Only reason Tatum’s was better was free throws.

And it wasn’t better by enough to make up for the huge gap in production.

And by the way, Giannis is way better than Tatum is TS for his career despite being a poor feee throw shooter.

They had the same blocks\steals and only 2 assists difference. The only thing Giannis does better is rebound which is a role player\big man duty. TS just doesn't measure freethrow shooting. Shaq had a 61% TS in the 1995 finals and shot 57% from the freethrow line.

I don't see this celtics team winning playoff games without Tatum, like how Bucks won without Giannis last years playoffs.

25, 20 and 9 and that is Giannis’ low? I WILL TAKE IT

While Tatum is being carried by Grant fucking Williams and Payton Prickhard

I guess TS% is the tell all end to this debate. Lets go look at Tatum’s FG% this series…33% - the lowest on the team. Nope…he is the greatest ALIVE

Giannis efficiency was G league player level in those 4 games i mentioned.

Only somebody who didn't watch the game and glanced at the stat sheet would say Grant Williams carried him. Go watch the f'n game. Grant was being left wide f'n open every play because lopez or anybody else didn't give a shit about him. Like shoot around shots. Tatum was also drawing double teams.

Steve Kerr and Draymond Green are the biggest hypocrite piece of shits in the entire league. Hopefully we can finally put them out of their misery tonight.

I know how TS is calculated.

Giannis had a significantly higher FG% in the series. Tatum made more 3s to roughly cancel that advantage.

The difference in their TS is their FT shooting.

Giannis scored 7 more points and got 2 more assists per game.

That is pretty significant since you have decried Tatum as superior in both areas.

Not to mention, Tatum’s playoff TS is pretty close to what he did in the regular season. And that number is not even in the top 100.

Giannis though?

63% TS which is one of the better marks in the league. Can’t say Tatum was better based solely on 1 statistical category. That is garbage.

You know how the Celtics are 7-0 after a loss these playoffs? The Warriors are 5-0

The Celtics are 14-0 in games where Tatum really tries.

 

[LogicMan]

The Celtics are 12-0 in games where Tatum really tries.

They don’t need Tatum long term anyways. Need to trade him while value is high for Luka. Tatum overrated

Well played

 

[Hambombs]

Literally no idea what this means

They have won atleast 1 away game in 26 straight playoff series. They have brought it up

 

[msgkings322]

Well played

Just facts

 

[LogicMan]

Limit turnovers.

Use your size and speed

Defend the three and give them 2s

Expect them to punch

Delly did a great job of making Curry look bad in Game 3, which is probably one of the reasons Curry didn't win Finals MVP. I take the position that Game 3 shouldn't be held against Curry since he eventually got rid of Delly anyway by tiring him out to the point that Delly needed to be hospitalized. That's why it's like a boxer losing early rounds but still showing he's the champ at the end.

There really shouldn't be much debate on who was more valuable between Curry and Iguodala, but unfortunately the 11 media voters screwed it up. It's understandable, though. Those people get hooked on narratives and they probably only took a minute to think before they voted.

well the main reason Delly got tired out- and was even on the court as much as he was - was out of pure necessity-- after you lose two future hall of famers that would otherwise play 35-40 minutes a night were sidelined.

 

[WiggyRuss]

i think it all hangs on Steph’s injury. If he is actually hobbled, than the series is probably over. If he is able to gut it out and the Dubs win tonight, than I think the Dubs pull it out.


Tonights winner likely wins the series.

agreed

 

[msgkings322]

Otto Porter starting

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

Looney actually dominated game 2

Interesting kerr benched him

 

[Shanemansj13]

Dumb foul

That’s it. It’s really not that hard

Win the Turnover and rebounding battle and you’re in decent shape
