[Fencer reregistered]

Also impressive:

Theis' great shooting.
Everybody's defense on KD.
Tatum's passing and clutch shots.
Jaylen's contributions late.
Pritchard's Q4 play.

brown ate in the 4th again when we were down.

He’s fasting for Ramadan isn’t he?

likely. he wont say though. my comment was a nod to that tho because he could eat then.

Man to think we won the first 2 games both coming from behind late in the 4th against arguably the two best closers in the game says something about this team and how different they are. Crunch time performance was the last thing missing for this team to be better at and have they delivered. Wooooooo

I thought he pretty much confirmed it. He said it was “special to him” or something to that effect.

So good, this really is a conference final as a 1st rounder

[Bostondave]

Well **** I guess that's it. Did TNT just cut from the ending???

Ugh back to back poor plays for JB. Theis for a late game 3?

pure comedy to blame jb for giving theis a WIDE OPEN 3. just comedy.

I'm ok with blaming JB for not making a decision to pass earlier and I and1ed that post for that reason but yes otherwise than that agree with you, once he had to pass it was a good one. Theis should have hockey assisted and not shot though.

It was the decision to pass to Theis rather than Grant, I thought Dragic was pinched in more than he was. Brown likely could have gotten the pass to Grant, but it was a tougher pass when I went back to look again.

I wanted him to pass earlier to Theis then Theis to Grant.

In any case, JB had a monster 4th quarter again and we are clearly coached extremely well.

WTF TNT? Sure 20 secs left in a C's win, but they cut out 20 secs of feel good Celtics time just to switch to the Bucks/Bulls tip off?? I wanted that 20 secs. I only got the last 3mins of the entire game ffs.

Yeah. I kept saying inthe beginning of the season when we were blowing big leads that "it's not how you start the season - it's how you finish"

This team just kept working, kept grinding, kept their heads up and kept getting better throughout the season.

I think it definitely helped that during the 2nd half of the season we had less back to backs, more days off between games, more time to prepare for this series. Last season there was some talk about how Brad wasn't doing as good as coach but then on the flip side people were like "well yeah but with the condensed schedule last season, all of the back to backs, last year's team barely got any practices in together to work on stuff"

Well, this season all of those additional practices that we didn't have last year seem to really be paying off.

Yes. He basically said it. Said it saved his life. He also said he's not going to confirm it (much like the shot), said he respects people who participate in the fasting.

I think with things like this he's going to keep private because he respects his position as a leader with the NBPA. Grant too. Even if we feel it is a title with no real duties, all the guys seem to take it serious. It's nice that we have two of the young NBA leaders on our team.
