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

[The God Poster]

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

I think a part of that it appeared y’all tweaked your defense. I still think majority of Steph misses were his legs were shot from game 4

I fully expect him to be back on course next game

Don't fall for these nxggas' tricks. They're weaponizing him to shyt on Steph/Warriors.

I know these nikkas clowns.. Everyone knows Steph got the award locked up… Folk were waiting for the others to Step up

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

JT has yet to be clutch this series...and wasn't dubbed the best player on the team at the time.

Congrats to whoever the actual Warriors fans are in here. There's a few.

 

[#1 pick]

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.

DD, even in his 30s is more explosive than Tatum. Tatum is extremely skilled but his lack of athleticism and strength bites him in the ass if you got a great perimeter defender and they are healthy.

What’s it gonna take to get CP3 to Boston for one last run?

Series is over. Steph big game on deck Thursday.

Grant Williams just getting a lot of cardio out there and arguing with the refs. Somebody like him or Pritchard needs to make like 3 or 4 3s

He was dubbed a superstar and top 5 player in the league during that era. Same with Lebron in his first Finals, he was horrible.

Yea I think he was gassed from going so hard last game. I expect 30+ and more than 5 3’s next game. He going to make sure he secure that award so the media and the clowns here can shut up about it

 

[africngiant]

mamba. mentality.

tatum bringing the trophy back to cali

 

[28 Gramz]

No chance

If he has another 2 games like this one and Steph stinks it up it could happen. But it probably won't.

I know, defenders fear DeMar getting past them off the bounce so that gives him space to operate with his jump shot. With how Boston is using Tatum, something has to give. He either has to create more space off the dribble to rise up or he has to have more off-ball actions in the midrange.

His handle and lack of strength through contact has been exposed this series.
