Bitch ass strategy. **** the Celtics.

It's not like the Celtics have players who get into the paint effectively. Especially when KAT is supposed to be guarding the rim. This is just malpractice and infuriating to watch. They are +2 in points in the paint as of now, so it isnt that they cant score there.

ANT man >>>>>> Tatum

This is still true

I thought he had turned the corner athletically but the truth is he's just not quick enough to beat the defense and get to the basket with any type of consistency. This is why he has so many off shooting nights. Too dependent on tough jumpers.

Jacking 3's and intentional fouling. Celtics sucks.

There's nothing that could make me root for the Knicks but mindless 3pt chucking and hack a shaqing comes really close.

Not sure about fouling up 4.

This will forever be a bitch made tactic.

Boston is sorry for that strategy

Doranku · Post #513 » by **Doranku** » Thu May 8, 2025 1:15 am

Thibs read the thread at halftime where people said he should've kept Robinson in until Boston was in the bonus

Tatum is shaped like an Oscar's award. Makes for bad shooting mechanics.

Ugly stuff

It’s just terrible basketball born from analytics. I **** hate that it works sometimes, because when it doesn’t you get this.

It swung too far for sure. Spamming 3's make a game less interesting but also it just makes them too inconsistent. Uping the volume is fine but be smart about it analytics be damned.

Say what you will about Jimmy Butler being a foul merchant, the guy knows how to attack the paint and hit a middy. You need that in the playoffs.

The Dynasty Dubs had Barbossa/Livingston hitting that 10 footer. Who is doing that for Boston? I fee like Brown was doing it last year.

I don't like KAT but that was big time in a big time moment

This is an old reference but the Celtics are the guy spammed Vick in Madden.

Who wins?
