Series Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat

[Gman]

but zones have hurt the Celtics all year. This isn’t that surprising.

The Hayward injury hurts against the zone.

Hayward is not only a good shooter but a good passer.

That said: the C's have enough weapons to beat a zone even without Hayward, and it's on Stevens to figure out what should absolutely be figured out by a pro team.

Hey @WiggyRuss has Riles lost his fastball?

perhaps a petition thread...?

"please, Wiggy. come back and enjoy the playoffs with us. we miss your valuable insight..."

Tatum and brown are overrated as playmakers.

they are probably up 2-0 with a healthy hayward tho.

I can imagine he ain't a happy man...

Brown isn't a "playmaker" and shouldn't be considered that way.

Tatum, OTOH, is a greatly skilled offensive player... but all too often he (immaturely) settles for tough fall-away type shots. It's tough to watch. He should be moving towards the basket way more, but he gets too cute.

 

[bksballer89]

Makes sense. Thought it was weird to not see him

^ Good.

They should be hollering and throwing sh!t.

What a walkover for the Lakers. LOL. Both teams gonna get swept by the lakers. East is somehow more lousy now than 2007. Thats saying something

Not necessarily

But either way Lebron will be getting closer to passing Jordan with a ring this year and there is nothing you can do about it lol

 

[mr.hockey4242]

LOL another female throwing her name in the ring to take Jessica Mendoza's biggest block head in sports crown

he should be so much better. But there’s a reason he wasn’t the slam dunk first overall pick.
He doesn’t just destroy people like he should. It’s frustrating:

[LogicMan]

This is good news if true

 

[Gman]

I'm out for the night. Nice win, @bksballer89.

Celtics are behind the 8 ball now... and are gonna have to dig deep to even make this a series.

 

[lebron23james]

Celtics really missing a player like Kyrie...

Nets run the east next year

Hey @WiggyRuss has Riles lost his fastball?

This never gets old.....LOL.

 

[Heatles84]

So predictable.

You will say absolutely anything to cheapen LeBron’s accomplishments.

You really are a piece of work.

I despise Lebron, but he can't control whom he faces in the playoffs.

Funny, because the Celtics were worst with him last year. You're in for a rude awakening next year.
