Our guy Eddie Johnson was on today and said Rob Williams is the key to the series for Boston.

"...if he can slow down Steph, Klay and Poole, Boston will be in a good spot..."

Not a verbatim quote but in the ballpark.

Keep in mind, 2021-2022 stats like that are probably heavily based on early season troubles. Marcus was hurt, Jaylen was hurt, and Tatum's shot was off until January. Once they started playing right, they barely ever had any clutch time minutes.

I don't pay attention to any of that. When Tatum played the Warriors, seemed like he could never miss.. but like all the other series, the Warriors will look to make it tough on Boston's scorers. Kerr has shown that his staff makes the right adjustments as series' go on.

I wish this were true but:

From January to the end of the regular season, Tatum's numbers were trash in crunch time. In 11 games, he averaged 1.5 points on an EFG% of 35.7 and a TS% of 48.5. Keep in mind, his FG% is 35.7 which means he didn't make a single 3 in crunch time. He also averaged 0.1 assists to 0.2 turnovers.

The good news is that he been better in the playoffs. In 5 games, he's averaging 0.8 points on 50% from the field but still hasn't made a 3. He's averaging 0.2 assists to 0.2 turnovers. His TS% is 69.4, which is excellent because he's been perfect from the line.

Celtics have a 17-19 record with Foster in the Playoffs. Celtics are 2-2 in the regular season with Foster this year.

I saw Heat fans actually ride with that 12-0 stat on twitter. Miami is 23-14 with Foster in the playoffs.

GS in 5 if they win the first 2 at home, otherwise GS in 6

I’m getting these same vibes before this series starts

Celtics are Memphis on steroids (before the Ja Morant injury.)

I picked GS in 6 but 4-1 and 4-0 are not so outlandish either
