If this was already posted elsewhere I apologize. Celtics were +32 in 16 minutes played last night with only 1 big on the floor. That is shocking to me considering the Dubs popularized the Death lineup (or Death Poole) and the supposed advantage that Celtics had in this series was it’s size.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

All the crap the ABC/ESPN announcers were making out of how GS has all the Finals experience and Boston has none. Well 3 key players for GS have zero Finals experience: Porter, Wiggins, and Poole. They never said a peep about that.

Take game 2 and snatch their souls.

Seriously he called out Derrick Marcus and al.

He clearly hasn’t been paying attention Al’s postseason dude been shooting like prime ray allen.

Dubs lost and they thought they dominated us outside of final six minutes. That Cs won due to shooting variance or luck or something.

Cs won and they thought they didn't play their best game. That there's so much more to improve on. That they'll check film and see where their mistakes were made.

I have more confidence in the second team winning moving forward.

And Warriors should be worried. Despite Curry going nuclear, they could not even put us away.

Kinda sad that the highlights aren't that Celtics related:

26/6/6 in his prime with Wally and Delonte as his main 2 options than Walker.



TRUUUUUUTH!

THE MOST CLUTCH PLAYER OF HIS GENERATION!

(AND I WAS PHYSICALLY PRESENT AT 5 OF THE CLUTCH MOMENTS SHOWN ABOVE!)

(FOR YEARS, HE LED THE LEAGUE IN THE SUM OF CLUTCH MAKES PLUS CLUTCH ASSISTS & FTs IN THE FINAL 5 MINUTES OF VERY CLOSE GAMES. AND HEAD TO HEAD VS KOBE & BRON IN THE BIG GAMES, HE EITHER PLAYED THEM EVEN OR OUTPLAYED THEM!)

AND MY FAVORITE PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE IN ANY **** SPORT OF ALL **** TIME!

MISS YOU, PAUL!



Dear Jayson,

You are well on your way to elite status.

You can close - but if you want to become a MEGA ELITE CLOSER - CALL THE TRUTH!

Agree, Tatum should take lessons from Pierce, who's just right there. Though I think Tatum probably grew up hating Pierce, since Kobe is his fave player and all :lol:

Tbh, it still makes me cringe whenever he pumps up Kobe...on media day, when asked what his favorite Finals moment was, Tatum said it was the image of Kobe standing on the announcer's table after the Lakers had just beaten the Celtics in the 2010 Finals. I know he's your favorite player and all, but COME ON, TATUM! :nonono:

One of my worst memories over many decades of Celtics fanaticism.
I turned off the TV, threw the remote against the wall & vomited.
How **** ironic this is the fave moment of our current & future All Pro!

I wish I was kidding, lol. It pissed me off when I heard that, but hey, that's just the irrational fan in me :lol: We all know he's a massive Kobe fan.

This is why Tatum needs to be protected from the clutches of Klutch. Can't have any of those Klutch minions whispering in his ear about how he could continue Kobe's legacy with the Lakers, or some other ****...then again, Pierce grew up a Laker fan too and became a Celtic diehard even after retirement, so there's still hope :lol:

I think GSW needs to bring back KD if they want to win another chip.

Return to Boston Celtics
