Jiji Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Sometimes the importance of coaching and midgame adjustments can be overstated but holy shit, how do you not adjust? Bud is a great system coach but has shown for a long time a reluctance to move away from things not working. Giannis played like shit after the first quarter, but the Celtics could just block off the paint because the supporting cast couldn't hit threes. Sitting off Williams even after he's made so many wide opened threes... like stop. plz. You can bring up Middleton's absence but this team without him probably should've still won.

I don't think Middleton would've made the difference today, but he might have a couple nights ago, you know? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohtani's jacket Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 So often Game 7s end up being a blowout for the home team. The Bucks should have pressed for the second seed instead of resting their starters. You have to give the Celtics a ton of credit though to come back from that Game 5 capitulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Giannis in the second half - 8 points, 2 assists, 2 turnovers on 4-16 FG & 0-2 3PT. Absolute choke job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Jesus Christ, the Suns can't hit a fucking layup tonight. This would be one ugly ass way to end what had been a dream season. Fuck it, I'm going back to binge watching Ash vs Evil Dead, this is just not even fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure this is a joke He was an absolute killer through the first 8 games of these playoffs, had his birthday, and has just utterly sucked ever since.

RandomAct Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I seriously can't believe it. WCF exceeds the wildest hopes I had for this team. I'll admit to being dead ass wrong about Kidd as head coach too. We got a real shot at the Finals. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Yeah Chris Paul might as well just hang it up because this Game 7 is going to be impossible for him to recover from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I wonder if the Mavs can get Ja/Bane/Brooks/Jackson to be in the crowd for Game 3 to screw with the Minds of the Warriors like a Pro Wrestling Feud? Hell, their Theme Music can be Whomp that Trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Fun(?) fact: Giannis joins Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain as the only players in NBA history to put up 20 points and 20 rebounds in back to back playoff loses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giannis is larger Russell Westbrook. Luka is white Harden with the exact same game and y’all love him for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
