I have a revelation as I watch this. I never want OG to be traded. But setting that aside, a Brown for OG trade would help both teams. We need a scorer like Brown. Celtics need a Butler stopper like OG. Plus OG and Tatum are friends. And Boston has enough offense without Brown. I don't know the details of salary matching, throw-ins etc, but it would help both teams

Something has been off with Boston all year which is why I had Philly and Nuggets in finals but it's clear Miami is not going to fold like Philly did. Grant Williams taunting Butler probably lost them the game lol

But Miami just plays through the obvious bias. Such mental toughness they have

What a mental collapse by Boston these two games. It’s looks like they forgot how to play basketball. Why the hell couldn’t they do that in 2020 against us lol
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

This loss was all on Jaylen Brown and Horford but there were some boneheaded turnovers and Miami withstood any ball pressure they faced.

More teams for Nurse to choose after Eastern conference final lol...... Celtics should just fire the coach now and hire Doc Rivers for two games, they might have a better chance lol

That's how bad the coach is right now :lol:

I think these playoffs should increase OG's trade value. You need a high end versatile defender like him that's not a liability on offense.

The Celtics are a yips team.

Tatum did something special in the last minute: Somehow yipsed the final possession 3 times. 1. losing the ball into the backcourt (I don't think it touched Jimmy). 2. Fumbling between his legs but luckily getting it back from Smart. Then laying up junk on a bogus foul on Bam.

When Philly was up 3-2 and leading the game 6, Boston fans were saying Joe needed to go. I assumed beating the Sixers after all would save his job, but posted what if they lose to Miami, would he be on hot seat again? Really have to wonder now, if they do get swept, there'd be a good chance he gets let go. I wonder if the big name coaches Monty, Nick and Bud would now hold off and see what happens there? Very attractive job.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Yikes, Tatum has had no points in both 4th quarters so far?

I haven't found a single player who drew me in as a fan since Kobe retired like Butler is doing right now. Dude is a menace with a bunch of scrubs :lol:

He just plays the way he wants to play and doesn't give a **** about stats and can play whatever style he wants to play. Real assassin.
