They weren't attacking the zone right, just passing it around the perimeter and then on defense Stevens should have looked to counter w a zone as well, it looked like it worked for them when they used it previously, rebounding was also an issue. I would've considered putting Rob Williams in to counter Bam.


It's not just you, it really was not good coaching by Stevens to let them continue to play that way until the lead was out of reach

1 championship in 34 years. :lol: :rofl:


Yet another example of a Lakers fan trying to get everyone to cheer for the Heat.

Yeah, Brad seemed stunned during the fourth.

If I was a Celtics fan I want a fairly clear explanation on his thought process down the stretch.


Was clearly moving and didn't have position.
Would have been wasted challenge and a crucial lost time out. If they managed to get it close, he would have potentially needed the challenge and the timeout.
This isn't on Brad. His players couldn't make shots and Spoelstra's players did.

Disagree. Its legal guarding position. His right foot slid slightly once position was established. Coach Spo beats him in this respect of changing momentum. A challenge can also serve as a timeout.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

I'm good man. Team was so much fun to watch and root for this year. They came up short but it's all good.


Don't listen to that one. Boston played the game rightwise all year. Hoped for a Lakers/Celtics Finals all year, but we were yeah short of that. Congrats, anyway, Celtfans. Most of you are good peeps.

Jesus Christ lol. People really hate the Celtics on here.


Guess you didn’t see the same series the rest of us did. Looked pretty pedestrian to me.

Seems like you’re throwing the term star around too loosely.

Averaged 27/10/6 in the series, yeah totally pedestrian dude :lol:

When the going got tough the Celtics lost focus and fell in love with the 3 way too much.

Congratulations to Miami, they played a great series and I’d love to see Butler get a ring

Well, since you put it that way....

I guess it makes complete sense why you'd be an unwarranted d*ck kicking a team when they're down.

They will dig deep, I cant remember who it was now but at the draft they wouldn't stop talking to the kid about how his mom died.

Since their dream storyline of Lakers/Celtics is ruined they will be scrambling for stories.

Obviously you have LeBron vs old team and Vogel vs Spo. Also two non playoff teams from a year ago making the finals. Those will be big storylines.

Well fought series. Didn't go to the 7th as I thought it might, but both teams worth watching each game.
