{{{NBA}}} 2021 - 2022 season OFFICIAL THREAD

if boston can steal one with tatum having an off night that will be huge

 

Good God Kerr got completely out-coached that 4th quarter

 

big AL HORFORD smells that chip

 

Dubs finally run into a team that can play big and still chuck 3's

 

Boston defense is something they've ytet to face. Great perimeter defenders who can switch most every pick. Bigs who can move their feet against curry and at least run him off the arc. And Williams a legit shot blocker

Memphis had most of those aspects but lacked experience and morant went down

 

You’re joking right? Did he get outcoached or did The Celtics just play better down the stretch? Because to me it just looked like the latter.

Here’s something that’s kind of funny. I was listening to a podcast way early in the season where some basketball metric had predicted at the time that The Celtics were favored to win the championship. This was before they started playing really good basketball so at the time I seriously thought it was nonsense. However, the closer these guys get to that trophy the crazier I think it is how that one metric got it right. Even if they don’t actually win the championship, the fact they got to the finals and didn’t get swept is just crazy to me.

 

Kerr finally out-coached Udoka, who had no clue how to defend a pick and roll

 

Warriors got dominated on the glass and in the paint. Draymond has been awful.

Warriors been dominating the 3rd quarters, Boston been dominating the 4th.

Don’t know why they played Looney so little when Boston was dominating the boards.

 

Boston needs to commit to playing Bob Williams and Al Horford extended minutes, stay big to beat the Dubs

 

Curry and Thompson both hot and they wasted it

There's really no one at the rim when Boston goes to the cup

 

This guy and his fucking bracelet

Shaq totally losing it at the end ...

I'm surprised they haven't all been canceled for their obvious "homophobia"

 

These current NBA players need to be ridiculed for their feminine behavior and wardrobe. Dwayne Wade is one of the fairy fucks that started it all.

 

Curry the king of the BS 3

 

Boston fell into the trap of trying to out-chuck 3's against the Dubs in crunch time and predictably it's falling short

 

Boston had too many turnovers early on

I still think they'll win but now it seems likely to be in 7. Which conflicts with my plans to attend the juneteenth concert at the Hollywood bowl that day!

Nonetheless this is far and away the best curry has played in an NBA finals. Respect to him

 

Boston has been shooting 3s at a higher percentage than Golden State so far. Fortunately for the Dubs, Boston went cold in the 4th quarter.

Dubs did a much better job of getting rebounds this time around. They got dominated in game 3 on the boards.

Steph is going to need more help offensively. He was 7/14 from 3 point land tonight, the rest of the team was 8/29. I think it’s the best postseason game ever had played.

Steph usually has that one game in the finals where he’s really off. Hard to be that consistent when you’re taking so many threes, and you’re commanding all the defensive attention. Other guys need to hit their 3s.

 

The KEY to GS's Pick and Roll is Fighting to Get OVER the Screen OR the Man You're Switching w/ALREADY Being UP CLOSE, HANDS UP, Ready to Defend...

Steph, Klay and Poole Need HALF a Second of Free Space to Release and SPLASH...If You Go UNDER the Screen or if the Switcher is Toooo Deeeeeep, it's ALREADY a Wrap...

GS Rarely Passes to the ROLLER on the Pick and Roll...Defending the SHOOTER is Imperative...




REED

 

Going into Game 4, GS was Outscoring Boston by 35pts in the 3rd Quarter Alone...That TRULY Is GS's Quarter...

REED Can't Say He's EVER Seen Anything Like It...Opposing Teams Don't Even Consider WINNING the 3rd vs. GS, They Hope to SURVIVE It...




REED

 

REED was Hoping for 7 Games All Alooooooooong...

The End of the NBA Finals Ushers In the SHITTY Portion of the Yearly Sports Calendar, in REED's Opinion, Sooooo Drag This Shit Out, PLEASE...

Jayson Tatum Has Been Particularly BAD in Regards to TO's, Averaging 3.5 for the Series...

For as Much as He Handles/Possesses the Rock, Tatum's a Pretty POOR Passer...Dumb, Half Hearted Cross Court Passes EASILY Being Intercepted...REED Hadn't Paid Much Attention to this Facet of Tatum's Game Until the Miami Series, But it's a REAL Thing...

Tatum ISN'T a Selfish Player, But He PASSES Like One; Like a Guy Who's PISSED the Defense Didn't Allow Him to Get a Shot Off...Even the QUAILTY Of Tatum's Passes is Subpar...Rarely Hits a Guy in His Shooting Pocket or On the Move...Sure, He Had 13ast or Whatever in Game One, but REED's Point Still Stands...

Game 4 was Not Only THE Best Steph's Played in the Finals, it's Among THE Best Finals Performances EVER...Game 4 was Steph's "Flu Game"...

GS' Finals MVP is Firmly Established...And as REED Types, Jaylen Brown is Boston's Finals MVP, Unless Tatum is EPIC in Games 5, 6, 7...

REED's Got Boston Winning Game 5 (They Haven't Lost Back to Back Games in 2022), GS Taking 6 and Boston Winning Game 7 on GS's Court...

Poole out-flopped Smart

 

Tatum can't carry a team

 

Tatum - 4 TO’s
Smart - 4 TO’s
Brown - 5 TO’s

Good performance by the Warriors. Steph had a very poor shooting game and they still won. Wiggins came up huge, Klay had a solid shooting game, GP2 was very good off the bench, and the team defense was excellent in forcing turnovers. They also took good care of the ball, committing only 7 TOs to Boston’s 18.

 

I said I was out but I’ve been watching and enjoying these playoffs.

The thing of it is, if Tatum has one good game and Boston were to win the Championship they would hand Tatum that MVP even though Brown has been the better more consistent player. As it stands Bosoton is going to lose because their bench is literally giving them zelch now.

 

Game 7 of the NBA Finals? Perfect Father’s Day Gift…




REED

 

Harden apparently didn't get the supermax.

I have no problem with that. He quits on teams at the drop of a hat.

 

If Curry has a big game tonight then they win the championship

- Magic Johnson

 

If Boston doesn't turn the ball over they win. It's that simple

 

16 is LITERALLY Boston’s Magic Number…

1-7 When They Have 16 or More TO’s
13-2 When They Have Fewer Than 16 TO’s
