ATL - Ham Slamwich to the Lakers

That felt like our game 4 when Giannis gave all his energy to keep the Bucks alive and even give them a double digit lead but had nothing for the 4th and nobody stepped up to close it out.

PJ Tucker was nearly unplayable the last two games.

Yeah, that was 100% a "we're going to win or lose the game right here because I can't play an overtime" shot. Still don't think that makes it a good decision.

Which I don't mind, but at least take your time and get set. Would have taken another 2 seconds off the clock and he probably makes it.

That Butler 3 being short saved the Celtics from an all-time collapse. I don't know how frequently teams that are up 13 with 3:30 to play lose, but I don't think I'm going out on a huge limb when I say its not high.

I'm guessing you're not going to see much in the way of changes from Miami, with the obvious caveat that I'm certain they will heavily shop Duncan Robinson and we'll see what kind of value that yields. And I think that's a good thing for the Bucks because this broke about as well as it possibly could've for the Heat and they still couldn't get there.

Celtics look massively flawed. I think 5 games. Bucks need to make some tweaks and stay healthy next year.

Bubble frauds, all those guys a year older next year will hurt them too.

Now I just need the warriors to destroy the Celtics next so we can get this offseason started. I wish the grizzlies were good enough this year because I don’t really love the idea of gsw winning either but at least they’ve been humbled the past two years. Lesser of two evils I guess.

Ugh that pullup from Jimmy was awful. It's not his game. He had a 1on1 with Horford with him backpeddling. Wish he attacked the rim there. That's gonna sting for Miami and Jimmy.

Smart just can't help himself taking the biggest shots in the games for the Cs :lol:

They had game 5 PTSD and they just mentally collapsed. I think we were down by double digit points with less than 2 minutes to go and still beat them.

That's what I thought. He was like 8-11 to start the and was 5-12 and fading after that. The team was situated for OT especially with brown in foul trouble, but I think Butler was done.

I think Warriors win but wouldn't surprise me if the Celts get home. It's a good match-up for them but their offence is so hit and miss at times. It'll be interesting to see how guys like Pool, Wiggins and Klay go against the Cs' defence.

MartyConlonOnTheRun · Post #1292 » by **MartyConlonOnTheRun** » Mon May 30, 2022 3:36 am

If this is the Tucker/Lowry they get next year at $35m, they are done. Bam and butler aren't enough and now they have to decide what to do with Herro.

Now that I said it's they will tamper with Dame, trade Herro and a first, and get fined. 2030 2nd round pick

Damn wet spot. Should be Jrue draws Steph, Khash vs Klay, Giannis vs Dray.

If you're referring to Game 5 of the playoff series, no it was a lot closer. Horford had the putback dunk that put them up 6 with a little more than 2 minutes left. The Celtics did lead by 13 in the 4th quarter, but it was much earlier in the quarter.

The warriors can score with ease even if Curry is struggling to make a shot or if he is getting double teams all the time. The Bucks and Miami in the end didn't have enough offense other than Giannis and Butler so Tatum got away with being almost complete ass for 75% of each series. In most of the Celtics wins someone like Brown, Smart, Holford, White, Williams was the MVP instead of Tatum because the opponent didn't have enough offense to take advantage of their 1st option struggling.

Can someone explain what the wet spot thing is?

Also, Miami losing a heartbreaker is just wonderful.

The Heat just don't have the salaries to match for Dame unless they give up Bam or somehow got Portland to take Lowry
