What a strange decision by Brown. The whole time before Lowry inbounded I was just thinking OMG he's wide open by like 15 feet, give OG the ball!

Go up 3-0 and you guarantee yourselves the series. This was hugee and Brown's really going to be beating himself up if this moment comes back to haunt him.

What an incredible game and even more incredible shot by OG.

Also, the Clippers game was scheduled to start at 9 and I'm writing this at 9:24 and it hasn't yet tipped off. This is just getting ridiculous.

Think he was worried about the lob to Gasol, who was diving in.

The difference coaching makes.

Man the Celtics BLEW IT.

.5 seconds away from a commanding 3-0 lead.

Brown with a major brain-fart at the end. Unreal.

Would have been bad too, but not as bad as leaving a 39% corner 3 point shooter open.

Also, Tatum was guarding no one in that corner.

In that scenario though you gotta be comfortable letting an older Gasol try to catch that lob in 1-on-1 coverage and at the very worst force it to OT. OG's a 39% 3P shooter and since he's 6'7 with long arms he doesn't need much space to get a shot off so if you're in the paint during the inbound you're not contesting that shot. Plus that shot's for the game.

Good that the Raptors somehow pulled it off, 3-0 would be too harsh for 2 such evenly matched teams. The East is extremely competitive this year, all 4 teams have a very legimate chance of making it to the Finals.

Kawhi’s midrange really is Jordan esque. Once he gets to his sweet spot for that close range jumper he’s just automatic.

Tough to see how the Nuggets even get a game in this series unless the Clippers completely take their foot off the gas or the Nuggets get a really fluky hot shooting game. They have no real rim protection and Kawhi is getting absolutely everything he wants.

No way Jokic doesnt get at least a game

Zu is too slow and Montrez is too small. Hes gonna have one of those huge 36/15/8 type of games at least once

MisterHibachi · Post #2794 » by **MisterHibachi** » Fri Sep 4, 2020 2:55 am

Kawhi's mid range has been insane this playoff run. Also, has Marcus Morris missed a 3 in the playoffs yet?

I find Kawhi's game so robotic and machine-like that it's actually amazing to watch.

Post #2797 » by **PaulieWal** » Fri Sep 4, 2020 3:23 am

Man besides game 1 both games in the Raps Celts series have been last possession games. Could have easily been 2-1 Raps, I think this one goes 7 and I don't know who's gonna take it. I think we are due for at least one big Siakim game and the Raps will get another one where the bench should go off.

In all fairness, this was basically a schedule loss for the Nuggets coming off a Game 7 and short rest. It's still very premature to write off their chances of making this a series.

Yeah Tatum was the one that blew it. Dude was completely lost

Why are people blaming brown? Dude was guarding someone the whole time. If he goes to the corner there’s an easy pass to the middle for a dunk.

Tatum was literally doing nothing and guarding no one.
