[Thruthefog]

This will be a short and monotonous series.

I hope you're right but the worry in me is strong.

… not for a second did I think the 3rd quarter was another collapse …

just don’t ask my wife and daughter to confirm that

What a breath of fresh air! We need more Huckelfuck representation on this forum. Thanks Boston for never failing to attract that crowd.

right … Boston is bad … Philly is good

… and you’re Phuckin’ nuts

I was busy in the 1st half but followed on-line, sat down before half ready to celebrate the win and then watched in discuss as the Mavs continued to close the gap, as I stated to blame myself I considered turning it off to right the ship. Then I said I don't believe in that crap and decided to watch the train wreck no matter how bad it got.

My best friend is also a Lakers fan, but he's not exactly known for his good luck.

If the Lakers are playing poorly, I'll sometimes send him a text asking if he's watching the game...if he says yes...I tell him to turn it off. lol

So glad they got 2 days off after playing for the first time in a week and a half.

Guys must have been tired.

Seriously though, this preset Finals schedule needs to go. So bad.

It's way too spread out.

I'm sure it's calculated for maximum $$$-making effect.

It is, but still stupid.

Finals should start a 2-3 days after both teams are done.

I missed Kidd saying Brown is the best player on Boston.....

Interesting.

Not a bad move by Kidd to stir up controversy and or division. It’s being laughed about on Boston media. It might work with other teams.

The other topic here was Kyrie getting into it with a fan during the game in row 6

It feels like they want Tatum to play scorer vs facilitate. In principle smart. But do it on the court

I have no issue with teams trying psychological warfare

But try something remotely true

If brown was actually better than Tatum that would mean the Celtics have 2 tip 10 ish players…and if you keep face planting with that….wtf is wrong


More likely that specific thesis is incorrect

It may not be true, but as you yourself have acknowledged, the Celtics struggle when Tatum or Brown try to do too much. Pretty sure Kidd knows that too.

So, he plants a seed and maybe Tatum decides to prove him wrong. May not work, probably won't...but it's the finals...you fire all of your bullets.

If he is lucky…

Tatum will try to prove him wrong. And Brown will try to prove him right.

They could end up playing 1 on 1 out there against each other.

lol … maybe Kidd’s a genius after all

It was 1 game.

Adjustments can be made to make this a competitive series.

Probably won’t work.

But Kidd isn’t dumb.

And I am sure he doesn’t believe what he said about Brown.
