With Brogdon most likely out, I think the Celts need to keep a tight 7-man rotation for game 6. I don't want to see Pritchard. Some have said Hauser, I don't think I want to see him either.

It's gonna have to be

Horford
Tatum
Brown
White
Smart

with Timelord and Grant Williams off the bench. Which means Tatum and Brown are going to have to play heavy minutes.


Yeah we can't have a repeat of Celtics vs Warriors last year in the Finals. Where they went through 2 grueling 7 game series and it wore them out. Tatum and Brown looking gassed because the bench was shortened. I would take a chance on Hauser. Have him come in the last 2 minutes of the 1st, first 2 minutes of the 2nd, maybe somewhere in the middle of the 3rd

Just having 8-10 points from Hauser would be huge

Golden State was a deeper team last year. This time, the Heat players will be playing the same type of minutes as the Celtics players. I’m not worried about exhaustion in this series at all. The young boys will be straight.

Hauser needs to stay right in the bench unless you need a shooter at the end of the half. Can’t bring him in cold and expect him to not to get abused on defense. Intensity will be high.

Grant only played 27 minutes last game and Brogdon played 8. Give Grant those minutes. He can play 37 minutes. Pritchard the extra man.

There was zero pressure on the C's the last two games. They had nothing to lose. But the pressure is back on tonight. And they're gonna fold like always. Jimmy finishing this shyt.

Yeah but I don't get it. If you are going to play Payton Pritchard, why not just give Hauser those same minutes?

Because I’m talking 5 minutes or less. You might need another ball handler at certain times with Brogdon out. Hauser doesn’t fulfill that need

Hauser has barely played in the postseason. You don’t all of a sudden put him in the fire in an elimination game. Who do you think we are, the Miami Heat? Lol

I win more than I lose :manny:

I took a $5 bet on Hortford scoring the first points on a dunk at -12000, that was a nice $600 payout.. I lost :ehh:
Damn breh I woulda said fukk it and put like $200 on that :damn:

Not saying you should have but with those odds knowing me I would have. Even if the bet was Spo would suit up and first basket would be him hitting a 3 from half court. If it’s -12000 I’m throwing a few hundred on that :snoop:

I miss typed it was +12000

I wanted to keep the bet conservative… now if it was a parlay then yeah I’d throw $200 at it if I’m feeling good lol

Show me the ref crew before I make that prediction… Right now Celtics are a -3 favorite on the road lmaoo

If it’s Foster on the call… Celtics going to game 7… anyone else Heat winning… it’s a 3-2 series east for Foster to extend it to 7 lol, he couldn’t do that with the lakers in game 4 when Denver was already up 3-0

Smart money says pick the heat since they are the +3 underdog at home

The pressure isn't on the C's, it's on the Heat...When this series was 3-0 everyone thought the series was over and was crowning Jimmy...

"Jimmy's better than Tatum"
"This run is better than Dirks"
"I'd take Jimmy over Lebron"
"Jimmy's the greatest playoff performer in Miami Heat history"

All of the pressure is on Miami. They better win tonight because this board will go into overload...If Miami loses this series this is going to be a huge black mark on Jimmy's resume.
