Even with Tucker we lose our series though.
We were primarily missing offense. A guy that could make shots even semi-contested.
We had plenty of grittiness or defense or rebounding.
A team that wins 2 games on the road has enough of that especially with the way we beat them in game 5.
If we had PJ we wouldn't have had to score more though. We'd win the possession advantage almost every game. More fast breaks for Giannis. More calls in our favor. No way to prove it, just a feeling. Ownership messed that up from day one. PJ is the type of guy who inspires guys like Grayson Allen to win.


Thing is without PJ I don't think we trade for Allen. They were already saying PJ would have cost 40 mil for one season after the luxury tax. What I hear is back to back titles wasn't worth 40 mil, which sucks and now they miss out on all the sales of playoff/final tickets and the millions in championship gear/memorabilia.

That start was great. Corner three, defensive rebound, floater, forced turnover.

Followed by 2 missed free throws, a missed layup, missed tip and a foul. :wink:

Horford is such a master at doing little dirty tricks off-ball and never getting called for it- 2-handed shoves, pushing, pulling, holding, illegal 2nd screens etc. Its impressive.

There shouldn't ever be a scenario where I root for Boston, but that's just how much I hate the Heat fans.

If it looks like the Celtics might have fouled you, the refs let it go and let them play. It's the playoffs, right?

But if it looks like you might have fouled the Celtics, they get the call, every time.

Le Batard show is unlistenable with the Heat doing well so I gotta hope they crash and burn

Bucks players are really not as good as the Celtics players. Except for Giannis. Khris is also good.

Wes cannot score, nor can Allen. Allen cannot defend. Jrue is v inconsistent as a shooter. Bobby is a hustle type player but not a consistent shooter; defense is just ok. Brook cannot make any 3 pointers. Defense at rim is good but our entire defense is terrible at defending the 3.

Pat C is moderately good in offense and defense.

Tatum, Brown are great in offense. Horford is good too. G Williams is a great 3 pt shooter And a v good defender. Smart is a flopper yes but a terrific offensive scorer and passer, and dpoy.

Our team is unfortunately worse clearly and that is why we lost.
