That’s an understatement bro , I peaked at the Celtics board last minute of the game and they were trading both Tatum and Brown there

Lmaoooo

I gotta get down there

Welcome to the modern day.

BIG overreactions and low attention span .lol

He also lacks the "impose my will on the game" gene.

It's more like "Poor ZING" on the team that paid him a bunch of money and thought he would come up big in the playoffs.

I almost bet on Miami win but I end up didn’t , because I don’t think they can beat this year Boston without Jimmy. :banghead:

Celtics have no business losing to Heat without Jimmy.

Celtics obviously win the series, but unless it's in the script to make more money by losing a game or two to the Heat, you knock them out ASAP to avoid injuries.

Celtics are the definition high floor/low ceiling team and Boston has a college town basketball culture. Super consistent and team oriented approach during the regular season, but they lack the brute force you need in the playoffs when superstar matchups become more of a factor than x's and o's.

Handlez · Post #1372 » by **Handlez** » Thu Apr 25, 2024 5:03 am

Did KP get relegated to being a spot up shooter or did he have an off game doing what he's actually good at, which is post play and self creation?

Sometimes if your gut tells you something but you don't have or want to lose a lot of money, then just do small bet. Makes the game more fun and if it's an underdog like Miami the reward is higher.

if miami advances again, both last and this year celtics are actually a better team. lol

They will probably end up winning, but when those 3s don’t hit, they really look like one dimensional.

Yeah we're most likely still losing this series, maybe even a gentleman's sweep. But to beat them in their home court without Jimmy after all the belittling that went on after Game 1 is really funny. So many Celtics fans here took Game 1 to be proof that we'd have no shot even with Jimmy playing, then we beat them in their home court without Jimmy. :lol:

Joe thought he can get away with playing Pritchard against the Heat, but you cannot do that against Spoelstra. Or you can, but then you will definitely burn more calories that you'd want to. With that said, KP played a terrible game, he was directly or at least partly responsible for at least 10 of those threes while giving you absolutely nothing on the other end. It's not all on him though. I saw White getting lost on two DHO actions at least, which he never does, and I saw JRue dying on a couple of screens which he doesn't do either. I saw Tatum not challenging hard enough on numerous occasions, and most of all, dumb overhelping on Herro all night long, which resulted in him having a peak Nash superstar game. Just weird from the Celtics, and expected/great from a Spoelstra team. He'll take it if you hand it to him.

Yes.

Live by the 3s, die by the 3s.

This is going at least 6 now because I don't see how these two teams don't split the next two in Miami after that who knows.

And the 3 losses were intentional to lull the other team into a false sense of security. What a legend.

Well 1 was the Mavs in 2011, and you only won 1 more game. But I didn't even say that cuz I'm off topic.

You're not off topic, but you are wrong. Miami won game 1 in 2011, Mavs won game 2

Who wins?
