Bold prediction.
You dont think Boston can push them to a pivotal game 8?
:lol:


I mean there was another option, Celtics in 7 but that seems unlikely now.

Hah I called it earlier in the game thread. Boston playing almost perfectly for 4 games and only being 2-2 to show for it was bad news. they were due for a bad shooting night

You say this all the time and countless times I showed you he stepped up in the biggest games of the year.

Bucks game 6 last season in the face of elimination
Same with Heat in game 7,
Big game to close Hawks out this year
Also big games to close out Sixers/Raptors in the bubble…

He’s not the problem


Why didn't you mention about the final against the Warriors? Did Tatum do well?

CP3 would have been hurt by game 2 of this series.

Tatum is a great player - but he can’t shoot well enough to depend on his J in clutch crucial games
