Brass Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 9 minutes ago, who do you think said: Celtics back on their bull:censored: and refusing to guard Caleb Martin. It's over. That’s the least of their problems. You can’t have one of your best players turn the ball over 8 times and the other not do much of anything either.

I'm confused, are you saying we shouldn't pay Jaylen "Ricky Davis" Brown $300M to be a turnover machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykotyk Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Guess this raises the question... which hurts worse. Getting woodshedded an entire series like the Lakers were to the Nuggets in four... or to be 0-3 and come back for a game 7 and get stomped on your home court and it never really being close?

First home team to come back from 0-3 to force Game 7 and then lose that Game 7. The other three teams who did it lost Game 7 on the road. There's your history. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavs win games 1, 2, and 5 in Boston by a combined 472 points, but lose one of the home games and need a second-half surge after halftime to come back and win the other.

Unocal Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Get ready for regular season load management. An 8 seed making the NBA Finals will officially devalue any incentive to ever get homecourt. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be a benchwarmer on 15 other teams This coming from a Celtics fan. You are the worst sports fan in existence and need to stop commenting on it because clearly you never actually watch the games and only know about 3 players in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

who do you think Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Miami is actually willing to work and play defense on a nightly basis. And they're both willing and able to hunt down other ways to win if Plan A isn't working. In that regard having a bunch of undrafted guys probably works in their favor - no one's above doing the grunt work. Of course it also helps a lot to have Jimmy Butler leading by example. The Celtics meanwhile did that (scrap out a win when Plan A wasn't working) literally once (last game) in these entire playoffs and hardly ever if ever during the regular season, then reverted to form and folded again tonight. Tatum's ankle isn't an excuse for one single game (for a whole series, it would be). If your best player playing in pain means you have no chance to win an individual game, at home, against a team with a much worse record, then you need wholesale roster changes. EDIT: Patrick Star is right about the incoming load management epidemic though, if it wasn't one already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unocal Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Miami in 5 because #HeatCulture I give up trying to bet against this team. Might as well just accept the fact that at least one of the South Florida 8 seeds is going to win a title. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is already the second time in 24 years for 's sake. Enough already. The NBA needs to fix this. 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 "Get ready," they've been doing it for like 12 years. The NHL and NBA have both had deemphasized regular seasons for years: "regular season doesn't matter because anything can happen" versus "regular season doesn't matter because we already know what will happen." (Though the NBA comes with an extra little normative valence to it: LeBron winning a series is framed not only as what will happen, but what ought to happen.) That the NBA has gotten away from that a little bit in recent years has been a good thing. Now you can't take low seeds for granted. Great.
