JT has lost his confidence in his jumper. Sad to see.

1/3. Easy transition dunk, missed open corner 3, and missed floater with shot clock running out. Got the o-board on that one out to KD for another miss. Whole teams shooting has been off today.

That’s a terrible call and an obvious block. He was later than Lebron was when they called it a block.

Yabu even moves without the ball. Damn. Defense is his only perceived weakness. But maybe there's something to work with there with enough coaching and a good environment.

Have to love the dancing bear having a great showing throughout the Olympics.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Why can’t we get a versatile PF like that French guy Yabousele???? He definitely should come back to NBA for another stint.

I remember him playing well last time too IIRC. I think he needs another shot, he was probably too young the first time.
