Yeah. Really rough luck to lose Butler here.
Never been so happy to see Victor Oladipo on defense
I realize Butler is out but holy cow the Celtics have so much heart and grit. it’s annoying lol.
Stauskas knocks down a meaningless three down 8 with 4 seconds left.
They both do man, the Heat made a bunch of major stones plays down the stretch…that Lowry steal off the inbounds, Oladipo stealing everything, Bams shot clock beater, the Strus triple…PJ just making life miserable for Tatum
Glad to see Tatum is still alive after him flopping on the court. Must have been that Leprechaun that brought him back to life.
I want a Heat vs Warriors series so badly just so we can get a Duncan podcast with Jordan Poole where they preview the NBA Finals. Get the kick starter going.
Not sure where to put this and I’m not creating a new thread but Howard of course turns down Lakers overture.
What I found interesting in the ESPN article , which I didn’t know , is Stevens wanted Howard to replace him in Boston.
Wonder if he can coach or not? Not a bad for a guy who’s just the front man for Martelli, amirite guys?
this series is dunzo. GSW title incoming
I think the eastern conference team is going to wash either of these two.
I would agree but they are both pretty banged up
Yeah, forgot to type “barring injury.”
So in these playoffs I’ve gone from “the Mavs are going to let Brunson go even though he’s pretty good, because he’s redundant with Luka” to “yeah but he’s their obvious second best player and they aren’t going to get a vet this good”.
Wiggins really come alive in this series.
The mavs took a nice deuce on my suns but a bit frustrating that we didn’t get to see Warriors-suns now that the mavs aren’t hitting everything
Yup. Frustrating.
The Warriors are a terrible matchup for the Mavs. Their weakness plays into GSW’s strengths plus they have been wearing them down with constant movements from the Steph, Klay and Poole, and they’re targeting Luka to wear him down. Wiggins has played up to his potential and teams will give him the bag once he’s done with the Warriors but he’ll need to be the #3 option, not #1/#2.
