The Irish Try To Cross The Bay, Will They Make A Splash? | Official Celtics vs. Warriors NBA Finals Thread

Tatum needs to work on his midrange and post game. He misses short when he does his fadeaway as a counter after driving, just seems like he doesn't have the strength yet to make that shot consistently yet.

Too much of his plan of attack is off the dribble 3s or layups, everything in between is weak imo. He's 6'10 he needs to study how KD creates space and hits the midrange jumper when he's off-ball and how DeRozan does it with the ball.

I mention DeRozan because he initiates offense a ton and still gets to his spots and is damn near automatic when he rises up. Tatum is taller, so even if his handle isn't as nice as DeMar's he's gotta figure out how to use his size to get easier looks.

Bam better than every big on your team goofy.

Bam trash. Enjoy.

So why couldn't Derrick White disappear like this against the Heat? I'm sick

C's have had White, Horford and Grant Williams all have incredible games this postseason. That was going to be hard to maintain

Nikka weed plate is no longer weed plate. Put respect on his name and call Chris from the Wire

Kobe looking down at Tatum like

Tatum a Laker fan at heart. Even he don't want the Celtics passing the Lakers in title. He's still honoring Kobe lol.

 

[28 Gramz]

because the media trying to force JT to be a Superstar. He's not there yet. They've been winning games with him being ass and JB doing more.

Tonight, they both assed it up in the 4th

Was Kobe a superstar from 2000-01? cause they're Finals numbers looks awfully similar.

Celtics need a PG. I had Celtics in 6 because i thought their defensive style was perfectly built to guard this kinda warriors team. But now? I’m not sure what’s gonna happen. This series might be a wrap, because Boston is reverting back to the pre-February Celtics habits. Brown and Tatum are GOOD. But they’re not GREAT/transcendent enough to play a Your turn-my turn offense. Ime came from the Pop system. Ball movement over everything.

Should have kept the greatest pg they have had on their team

 

[Avisible Man]

Butler good. it's just that they gonna overpay Bam and Herro and they aren't max players. i love to see Heat fans post delusional sh-t though

The Heat Culture will carry them

 

[Raquinotj]

Mock Drafts and potential Free agent targets getting hella boring. Nets/Heat fans with the shameful victory lap. Let them talk to themselves.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Heat and Nets fans in here puffing their chests

Two garbage franchises

Warriors brehs: I noticed Curry was not dominating the ball much in this game.

Yea, they were chasing him off the line, but he didn't wanna settle for the 2s. He kept tryna get his 3 goin.

Draymond caught a lot of shyt for his lack of scoring but his defense has been masterful. He is covering for all GS defensive flaws and allowing Looney to just focus on his strengths but Looney has been been tremendous. That said, all this wouldn't be possible if Steph wasn't so fukking good. Front runner Steph showed us that he's the real fukking deal.

I had my doubts on GS but they really have that killer instinct. Gotta finish it out tho

 

[GoldenGlove]

If Wiggins has another killer game, he may "Iggy" that FMVP from Steph

No chance

 

[threattonature]

Once again Robert Williams is a key part to the Celtics. He was +11 in his 30 minutes. Basically anytime he's off the court the Warriors have been killing them all series. That's why I was saying I'd do anything I could to try and get him out the game with foul trouble or something.

 

[LuckyLibra619]

Steph needs to demand the basketball if the defense is selling out. Clear out 1 on 1 against his man and kick the ball if they double him then. This shyt where he gives the ball up early and either doesn't touch the ball again or he gets it in late shot clock situations is trash. There were points in this game where Steph went MULTIPLE POSSESSIONS without touching the ball, WTF?
