Buckets shows that mindset matters and why he can lead while someone more talented like PG can't.

He is a nice piece, a jack of all trades but he certainly not an elite scorer and certainly not capable of averaging freaking 20ppg for a series let alone 30.
Not a fan of either teams but its clear that Celtics have the more overall talent. Those heat white boys are going to get wrekt on the perimeter by the likes of Tatum, Brown, Smart, Kemba and Hayward. This isn't the bucks trouting out the likes of wesley matthews, george hill, eric bledsoe...and whatever else they have on their wing. Oh, how could I forget, they also have the ever so overrated Khris Middleton. Bucks just didn't have the personnel to attack the mediocre heat defender, and when Middelton was able to force switches in G4, he ate those boys alive.
Also, LOL at daniel theis being a dollar store Chris Anderson. Dudes better player than Anderson ever was and Heat fans are in for a rude awakening if they think Bam is going to dominate this matchup. He is absolutely not.
Lastly, while Jimmy Buckets is a nice player and all... he had 2 big scoring games against the bucks and then 3 very average to below average games for an all star player. Tatum is clearly and easily the better player and we'll all see soon.
Good luck to both teams, they only playing to see who gets massacred by the Lakers in the finals.
Dude, you are seriously talking like Bam who just turned 23, barely played any minutes his first two years in the league, and is now an all star after playing his first full season in the starting line up as if he has already hit his ceiling. No, he isn't going to carry the team on hia back offensively this series, but he doesn't need to.
He was one of the only guys all season who could contain Giannis 1on1 at all, but you don't see his high value? Dude averaged over 5 assists per game as a big man, 16 points a game which is nothing to sneeze at while playing world beating defense. And you're saying people are over hyping him..
Also, where was the Heat getting torched from the perimeter by the Celtics this game? (After going 1/10 or 11 in the 3rd quarter.) The Heat shot the 3 ball at a higher clip thaln the Celtics did overall in FG%. Where was the supposedly "elite" perimeter defense we were all told about?
Heat played better defense this game.
Look at that bahhhstan arrogance..
"And a Man?... A Man provides... And he does it even when he's not appreciated, or respected, or even loved. He simply bears up and he does it.... Because he's a Man...."

Crowder has been stellar for us all post season but I don't expect 20+ every game thats for sure

I'm surprised no one has really talked about or mentioned Tyler Herro coming a hair away from a triple double in the playoffs with 12/11/9.
I believe that would've been the first rookie triple double in the playoffs? Either way, that was an amazing performance by him, and the leaps he has taken as a player just this year as a rookie has been amazing. He came into the league with people thinking he would just be a shooter off the bench, now he's coming within an assist of a triple double in the ECF!

Marcus smart with another gimmick play at the end. You can tel that play they practice it a lot. Run by smart, he slide and then flop. Look for theis to flop in game 2 to get bam in foul trouble because that's 40% of the so call Boston elite defense

Still hilarious that (some) Heat fans are crying about the refs when they were in the bonus for half of the 4th and shot 12 FTs in the quarter

Re: ECF: (3) Boston Celtics vs Miami HEAT (5) - Part 2 (1-0 Miami)
Incredible block. Can someone explain to me why that ball is not assumed to be in the cylinder? Is it because the offensive player’s hand is still on it?

I think thats the reasoning ya. They treat it differently than a shot going up thats on the way down. Thats the only logical explanation I could think of. Either way he had his hand on it before it was near the cylinder its just Tatum really tried to jam it lol

Being in the bonus for half of the 4th is an automatic ref job in your opinion? Jesus. Tell me which of the fouls that got us there are wrong?
How can you not complain on that Smart flop. It got you to the OT and almost cost us the game.

Miami Crowder ain't Boston Crowder my man. Get used to seeing 3-5 threes from him a game in this series.
