NBA Finals Game 5: Everybody Loves (D)Raymond

[vagelis]

If the Dubs take this series, does Wiggins win Finals MVP? How insane would that be!

I bet on that a week ago.
Unhopefully they limited the amount of money that allowed me to bet, so I will not get rich if it happens.

How do you feel now? After so many years Wiggs get recognition. I am so happy for you and Wiggs

For Wiggins I am happy but I always knew who he is, so I don't think that something very special happens.
I just was mad all this years with the lies about him.

I have seen so many 25pts games from him that they say nothing to me.
I am happy when he goes for a fourty.
I still think people underestimate how good he is

I was with Wiggs from the starts and all these trade talks, just show how fans dont understand this game.

I think that there is a big part that does not understand the game at all.
They just read advanced stats and follow the narratives of the media

I went over the GB to see how many pages of game thread I would need to look at to see someone complaining about the reffing. As always, it was... one.

Refs had it out for the Celts and let Draymond do whatever he wanted out there. They only had a +16 FT advantage and +12 foul advantage on top of Draymond fouling out and Looney picking up 5. Lolz

Can't wait to listen to all these pods saying the Celts got a tough whistle. Come on man it usually evens out.

I thought Memphis fans whined a lot about the refs, but Celtic fans put them to shame.

I have this bs narrative ranked as second most ridiculous behind the people pushing "the Bucks were the real best team in the East and would destroy the Warriors" takes over there.

Funny how every time we make/win the finals there is always some juggernaut that would most definitely crush us who doesn't even make it to the party.

Even in the last few days declarations that he is still a journeyman role player and not capable of being better than a 4th option for a contender.

He has just been the best player in game 5 of a finals series on a team now leading that finals series.

3-2, 1 more

Loons first two fouls were total ticky tack garbage too

If it takes 2 more games and Wiggins is the best player in both then yes

Be glad it's not the Sixers.

[Scoots1994]

Why are there 3 game 5 threads?

Think it's fair to guess the Celtics go back to the drop coverage for 6.

What, you didn't follow the 90 pages following with more of the same?

[shazam_guy]

What you saw today is Wiggins game, attacking to the rim and mid range shots.
Not catch and shoot.
Hopefully he will be used at his strengths from now on if he continues with Warriors.

Kerr is a great coach and a very intelligent person but imo he misvalued Wiggins limiting his offensive usage.

I'm not sure I'd agree Wiggins offense has been limited by the team. Sometimes he limits it himself. It's almost as though Wiggins sometimes has to make a conscious decision to be aggressive on offense. But he's slid up and down the option ladder since he's been here. There were times last year with Steph and Klay out and Poole not at all established, when Wiggs was first option. He's often third now, but I really doubt he's being discouraged from shooting if he wants to shoot, or driving if he wants to drive. He probably defers naturally a bit to Steph and Klay -- that seems to be his nature -- but I'd have to see something more concrete before I'd ascribe it to the coaches limiting his offense.

Most Dubs fans I know WANT Wiggins to be aggressive more often, especially going to the hoop. It may not be how he feels most comfortable playing, though.

Haha oh man, some of those guys are unbelievably biased. 28-16 foul advantage but they want more. Honestly some of those posts asking for more are top 5 homerish posts I've ever read on the board. I just assume these people go through life with a complete lack of self awareness, and must be unbearable people to be around.

Nah, Wiggins is a lot closer to Pippin at this point. Steph is the system and clearly deserves of course.
