Contentious C Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Not so much an incredible stretch of officiating. Then again, Jimmy said it: one stop. Didn't box out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 This was the last few seconds of Celtics fans. Ok.. here we..wait.. SMART? NOOooooooOOooooo (gets ready to hit send on 2500 word diatribe on the Celtics starting at,"fire Mazzula, trade Tatum and Brown, move the team to fiji") (Buffalo tips it in..) YESSSSSS!!! Had them all the way! (tries to pour drink, spills it all over the place because hands are shaking) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I would've been fine with Boston vs. Denver in the finals this year. What I'm not fine with is Boston possibly being the first team to come back from 3-0. That city is not allowed to have that bit of history too. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Oh, speaking of that. Do you think that if the Celtics complete the comeback, A-Rod and Jeter will never be allowed to attend another 3-0 game? 2004, of course, and they were at Game 4 of the Celtics-Heat series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I know coming back 3-0 has never happened in NBA but how many times has a team in any league gone from down 3-0 to 3-3 only to lose game 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened three times before in the NBA. I don't think anyone in MLB had done so before 2004. This will be the first NBA game 7 where the team coming back from a 3-0 series deficit will be playing game 7 at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 As a hater it's very exciting that we're guaranteed to either see Miami fumble a 3-0 lead or Boston fumble a crucial game 7. Either way, I'm eating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I mean no offense to Jimmy Butler, who I love, but Caleb Martin got screwed on the Eastern Conference MVP award. Unreal series from a player nobody expected anything from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 How can you come back from 0-3 and then choke so damn hard in Game 7? Sure, Tatum had the excuse with the ankle but what was Brown’s excuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston is gonna be real interesting to see what they do this off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 The finals this year feels like it was made for the real fans. We all know that Jokic is just a wizard and when the Nuggets are cooking they are an elite world beater. We also might roll our eyes at the constant mention of Heat Culture but god damnit I would do anything to flip what Miami is with my hometown Sixers in less than one second. Jimmy Butler is a national treasure. And while what the Heat have done is incredible, I think they would be the one franchise where I would believe they could go on a run from the play-in and running through Milwaukee and Boston. (Barring something like an injury to a MVP candidate who misses 55 games and then comes back in time for the playoffs.) I hope casuals tune into this even without Steph or LeBron or the Celtics or whoever. This is a fantastic finals. I do think it’s Denver’s to lose, but I think it is going to be a good one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
