This is sad af. THEY HAVE JAYSON TATUM

We saw Tatum guard KD. But for some reason he’s not guarding Jimmy in the 4th. Criminal

Tatum guarded him the most last night 13:07 minutes 77.5% when both were on the floor together, Jimmy Scored 4 points on him, NBA has been about screens and pick and rolls the past 35 years, players hunt for a favorable match. If you fight through screens all night you gonna get in foul trouble or hurt.

JB has had like 1 bad game all playoffs. Not on him

JB had a good game 1? You call 22 points on 21 shots with 6 turnovers a good game? He’s being outplayed by Caleb Martin. Jaylen Brown is the main reason Celtics are down 2-0. Last night JB sat in the first/second quarter Celtics go on a 21-2 run, JB comes in so Tatum can get rest and the heat went on a 19-2 run.


Coach had a bad rotation in the 4th last night, Timelord and Derrick White should’ve closed the game. It’s okay to sit Al and Smart when they don’t have it. The Celtics 5 that went on 21-2 run in first half did not see floor together 2nd half. White, Brogdon, Tatum, Grant, Rob. Our coach is learning on the Job.

Not taking any credit away from the Miami Heat and their coaching staff, they’ve made the right adjustments, exploited weaknesses and taken advantage of the Celtics mistakes. They’ve had their stats show up and supporting cast is outplaying the Celtics.

Again, reinventing the wheel

1- HE CANT SHOOT! You can go under every Jimmy screen EASILY

2- If you’re not gonna go under, yes it could leave you open to drives. But what they should realize is not every player wants to work off P&R. It forces you to use some tempo and forces you to a spot. Jimmy may not want those spots. He wants to back you down and hit that fadeaway

Somewhere along the lines of Steph teams feel now they need to switch everything …as if they’re going against Steph. You do not need to do that for every player ESPECIALLY non shooters. We keep moving the lines of bball basics then wonder why no one can guard anybody.

Series kinda mirroring the bubble series so far

Heat win the first two games with the Celtics completely melting down in the 4th quarters, Bam punking the starting center, a Heat bench player putting up 20 PPG (except this time it’s Caleb Martin instead of Herro), Spo severely outcoaching the Celtics HC.

Celtics managed to win two games but that 0-2 hole was too much to overcome. Feels like deja vu.

It’s extremely rare to come back from down 0-2 and even rarer to do when Games 3 and 4 are on the road. Off the top of my head the only teams I can think of that did it are the 2017 Celtics against the Bulls and the 2021 Clippers against the Mavs

Shut up you little bytch

I love that nikka

 

[King Eros]

Yo! This my first time really listening to Mazzulla.

All his answers are canned as hell. He's 100% left brained, zero flow or vibe.

nikka sounds like a bot, programmed to deflect blame and responsibility while regurgitating talking points.
