Jimmy Butler himself score 16 measly points on 35% shooting in our famous game 7 against Toronto & only 4 rebounds! He got outplayed by Tobias Harris & JJ Redick in that game! Is this your king?!
Again the distinction between effort/drive and production. "Dogs" vary from game to game in terms of production but never vary in terms of drive and effort. At no point in this series have the Celtics' prime movers exhibited less than maximal drive and effort. Marcus Smart's pronouncement "don't let us get one" before game 4 epitomizes the drive of the central players on that team. They're highly driven and they'll be the first team in NBA history to win a series down 0-3.
Imagine James Harden producing a quote like "don't let us get one." Tough to imagine, I know.
Stan van Gundy literally said in game 3 that the Celtics had quit in the middle of the game. Everybody who watched that game saw the Celtics rollover & quit and every media show talked about it for 2 straight days.
Here’s the TNT guys talking about it from 3 days ago in case your memory is failing you:
