won't go that far but defense is a must in the playoffs no matter how well you can score.

Pacers are going full spazz in this game. Running around like headless chickens and can't make a shot to save their lives.

Hate that the Giannis-less Bucks keep piling up the points and the Celtics are doing nothing about it. JOE, DO SOMETHING!! Tatum has to be better than this.

I personally would've had Mazzulla over Mosley. But leaving him out of top 3 isn't that egregious.

The Bulls have finalists for two awards but the Celtics that won 25 more games can't get a mention :nonono:

So much for Hali being better than JT.

The pacers are really letting me down. It's just one game though but man... I expected so much more.

For what exactly? Nominees are all deserving for their respective categories. More deserving than our guys. We're just better than the sum of our parts. Gun for the Bird, Russell, and LOB trophies instead.

Will riot though if Brad Stevens doesn't win EotY.

EDIT: Me and Smitty see eye-to-eye here.

It's like they forgot everything they did in the regular season.

Honestly if Dame plays like this, fully healthy the Bucks can beat anyone.

Love Hali but that was never a real thing, right? JT needs respek on his name! This isn't the game that proved that absurd, season after season does.

No, they remembered to not defend.

bet dame scores at least 15 in the 4th. waiting to conserve the energy because they are up high enough to coast. D on him has been better though.

yep this is the nba of today, teams get back in most games regardless of the outcome.

That’s exactly why we shouldn’t overreact to the 4th quarter in our game.

Dame had 35 by halftime. He still has 35.

Bucks doing exactly what heat want to do to us, make us prove we can hit the wide-open threes.

edit; with playoff pressure.

pascal not shooting 3s isn't good because he's had many ops, hes scoring so I can't hate but they could use that.

Post #260 » by **Shak_Celts** » Mon Apr 22, 2024 1:17 am

yep, do that pascal because you had the opportunity all game. take 10 a game.
