Seeding Play

It was a nice run. You cannot penetrate when they sit in the paint for 8 seconds. Thats why you are seeing what you are seeing.

the celtics are famous for turning the ball over in close games. move the ball and get an open outside shot

Tatum played like he had a lobotomy before the game. ************.

 

[ViperGTS]

Game over, probably a 20 pecent chance they win game 7.

If that. Toronto's small guys get soooooo much leeway. Hey NBA, KL isn't there anymore or did you not get the memo?

The raptors earned this game .... 1 game series ... I’m taking the c’s

they won't win game 7. they will pee all over themselves.

Yeah but still Lowry is a nice player. But he gets away with sooo much. He plays low-key dirty. Always has.

 

[IllegalContact]

That was a foul on Gasol

 

[IllegalContact]

I used to hate Lowry.....his gesticulations still big me, but man.....what a game

The Celtics still haven't figured out how to play smart and under control. Too much isolation and sh!tty ball security. Putting the ball on the floor with three defenders around them playing hero ball does not work. When the game is on the line. And matters the most. They find a way to f it up.

Tatum can't play like that. More than obvious when ur being doubled every play, get rid of the ball. At least 2 TO of dumb possessions like that and a few other killer ones. One to Nurse, then the opposite corner.

I'm a Stevens fanboy but we legit haven't won a 3rd quarter all playoffs.

Refs were the refs, hardly the worst game I've seen called in the NBA. Celts gave this game away.

If you don't think the C's got jobbed on the late calls in the 4th and overtime, I don't know what to say. Craptors and their 15-2 playoff record with Tony Brothers sure is something. The series is over Toronto will easily win game 7 as the Celtics are unable to pick themselves up off the mat. Kemba was absolute **** this game and almost made me miss that scrub Rozier.

 

[PittPatriot]

wanamaker is actually a surprisingly good matchup for van vleet and lowry...I'm not worried about the raptors

I’m a little more worried now.

Teams get "jobbed" like that once a week during the regular season. It's the NBA it's a circus but a circus for both teams. I'm not saying they didn't get the **** end a few times tonight. That literally happens every other game in this league.

Toronto was begging to be put away early and we couldn't do it. Like was Nurse in the wrong on that TO. 100%. You still can't throw it 5 feet away at that stretch. You can't dribble into a double or not have plan in those instances. Few easy FTs early on.

I love Tatum. Draft night I said and still think we got the best player in the draft. He has to be the best player on the court in these spots though.

 

[Brewskies]

I usually don't blame the refs in any game but this one had some no calls and bad calls.

Regular season I get but when the league is subtlety influencing playoff games that can decide a championship for ratings and a longer series, I have a huge problem with the ethics of it. Toronto has won 15 of 17 playoff games with that officiating crew. And now when the emotionally and physically drained Celtics wilt and get blown out in game 7 the refs will just be a footnote. Say what you want about football at least when the officiating is biased and one sided there's still a legitimate chance to overcome it. Life for instance the game against KC last year or even Pittsburgh in 2018. Refs horrendous in both games, Patriots still on the last drive could have stolen those games.

Tatum has to learn to pass the ball against the double team late in the game and trust his teammates. He was doing that early on but tried to be a hero late. The Celtics lost because of that.

I think it had more to do with the clutch 3’s the raptors hit......the raptors played well down the stretch ... I don’t believe the refs changed the outcome ... as for Tatum, he’s still a kid and the skills are still rising....look at it this way, his career curve is well ahead of Giannis

I’m still not worried

Yeah, games like this will serve as learning situations for him. I think he will be one of the better all around players in the NBA in the next couple of years.

he needs 10-15 more lbs, too........he and Brown are franchise anchors......Brown is a max player on a less than max contract

I'm sure you were rooting for Toronto anyway seeing as the Heat stand a better chance against them than the C's.
