Always listen to Jimmy B. and Spoelstra. There's a reason teams down 3-0 are 0-151.

Williams should have played more than he did….

easy for people to say this watching on TV when he comes in and swats a few shots, throws down some dunks, has the crowd going nuts. Almost every coach is gonna feel a comfort with Horford over him until Horford struggles.

but he's gonna blow assignments, commit fouls, miss FTs

a lot of those big athletic shotblocker types look great at first until teams figure out how to attack them better

he's a decent player but big holes in his game vs the best teams

He won't be easy to replace, 1 of the most underrated players of the last 15 years

Even this series, after gm 3 Bam basically couldn't do shit on him. He owned Embiid too, which he made look a lot easier than it is.

He would've had to play a ton in the finals vs Jokic though, think he would've provided a decent hiding spot for Jokic on D too since he can't really score around the basket anymore.

Agree. Really valuable on defense this run. Just think he’s getting to that time. He’s stretched it longer than I thought he would

I got everything wrong about this series, I thought C's would start off strong, then by game 4 I thought they would get swept, then I thought they would win Game 7. Maybe I will get one bet right in the finals.

"I don't know how we're going to get this done, but we're gonna go up there and get it done".
Coaching master class from Spoelstra. Doc Rivers always use such strategy but it usually doest work... strange...

Might be

Unless they can land another key player to help

As good a career as Al Hortford has had, he just doesn't have much left and it's been a liability for Boston
Yep Al Horford is done.

Tatum too passive

Polar opposite of last Game 7

Gotta play through a rolled ankle

I'm assuming his injury was serious. Probably doesn't play any other game. You just can't play through every injury. There are different levels of severity dontchaknow. Plus his game is speed and lift. Can't get his shot off with neither separation or elevation

I've seen enough of Tatum to see he's the real deal

Agreed. But this is a game Jaylen Brown should have dropped 40.

The fact Derrick White was the one trying to play more aggressive to replace Tatum says a lot.

And Brown had 8 turnovers when I turned the game off. Most of them live ball turnovers leading to layups. I stopped watching after his 8th such turnover

And he's done this stupid shit before. They lost a playoff game last year because he missed both freethrows at the end.

Not sure why he still thinks he has the handle to drive through multiple defenders, but he obviously still does

Brown was as aggressive as can be, he just sucked. 23 shots/8 turnovers, how much more aggression could he have? He was just terrible. If he tried to be anymore aggressive, heat would’ve covered the 25.5 alt line

Will be interesting what Boston does....

I think they have to sign Brown to max if not close to max.

I don't think they fire the coach. So will be a run back of which I think fans will have a problem with....

Like the Bucks in 2020. If you couldn't win the championship this year---not sure how the path will get any easier.

Tatum also has his problems. Can be a turnover machine and that game 6 getting the rebound with 21 seconds left and passing the ball to Smart was just plain dumb.

The bucks won the next year in 2021? I don't get it unless that is a typo.

Everyone in the East is in limbo right now......New CBA is going to make it harder to spend big and retain players so all of these teams have big decisions to make. Bucks, Celts, Philly.

everyone else in East sucks as of right now really
