what a cursed series

if butler and smart injuries are bad i at least hope we dont have another year where the ring winner is diminished because one or two of the teams faced were not healthy

Smart is made of nails.

whose "legacy" would take the biggest jump with a ring this season?

curry?, butler?, tatum?, luka?

Peregrine01 · Post #5353 » by **Peregrine01** » Sun May 22, 2022 2:58 am

A big thing that separates Tatum from a guy like Luka and other perimeter offensive stars is that he just can't get into the paint with any regularity.

heat cannot catch a break from the refs

Peregrine01 · Post #5355 » by **Peregrine01** » Sun May 22, 2022 3:06 am

Celts should've kept Tatum on the bench.

GSP · Post #5356 » by **GSP** » Sun May 22, 2022 3:06 am

Tatum with one of the worst performances in Nba history. I dont think thats hyperbole. He singlehandedly lost us this game. Un **** real how bad he was. Why the **** didnt we just roll with Pritchard when Jayson was out with the injury? FFS

26-5 in FTA before the intentional fouling began. Needless to say I don't believe any NBA has that level of FT disparity except in cases of HAck a Shaq

Glad Miami won. Game 3 is a great example of a lopsided officiated game. Contrary to the conspiracy theorists, it isn't that the refs hated Miami or were ordered to fix it. Just organically during the game they ended calling almost all the borderline calls for Boston creating an enormous FT disparity which resulted in an enormous advantage for 1 team.

No solution for this either.

i think celtics once had like 60 free throws in a finals clinchin game in the 80's

As the broadcast noted, the way technicals are called is also very inconsistent.

Draymond did everything short of kicking the referees in the nuts last night and still couldn't pick up a second technical.
