2017-18 NBA (Playoffs): A gasping, wheezing thread begs message board poster arguing how Jordan never lost a Finals to just let it die in peace (1 Viewer)

[Long Ball Larry]

only belinelli could do something that terrible on defense.

lol at saric trying to push him into position on the prior play.

 

[GOB]

I, for one, can't wait until Orlando offers Marcus Smart a max contract.

 

[modogg]

Wait, refs getting confused here. Smart committed the foul, he doesn't need to shoot FTs when he commits the foul. 

Oh my God, i think Marcus Smart just broke his ankle

 

[Long Ball Larry]

pretty sure that simmons is going to maim himself on one of these dunks some day.

Celtics have quick hands tonight. The 76ers need to stop with the lazy passes. 

 

[modogg]

Jerod Bayliss looks so sad on the end of the bench

has been coached up well all series by Stevens. Don't know why Brett hasn't stressed it, but was the killer in a few of those last minute collapses by the 6'ers

 

[modogg]

we need to hear more about Blesdsoe

 

[Insein]

Bout as bad a way to end a half as possible.

 

[Kraft...]

Donnie Wahlberg sighting. Now we're talking celebrities  

 

[JuniorGong]

Nice closing of the half by the Celtics, once again Philly craps all over themselves at the end of a quarter. All bark, no bite.

 

[msudaisy26]

Halftime came just in time. 76ers were about to get ran over. 

 

[the moops]

Pretty slick play to end the half there

 

[Capella]

I, for one, can't wait until Orlando offers Marcus Smart a max contract.

Oh my God, i think Marcus Smart just broke his ankle

Double Max 

 

[msudaisy26]

Double Max 

And then they will try to move him to small forward.

 

[modogg]

this is fun:

"Aron Baynes now has more 3-pointers in 5 games this series (7) than he has had in every other game of his career, regular and postseason (6 in 409 games)"

 

[need2know]

Should be a fun scond half

 

[Dedfin]

Why does TNT insist on the "Kenny Smith struggles with technology" segment?

Yeah the grab ### can be unbearable at times. I do like when they talk hoops though. I flip over to local channel for Scal and Draper for halftime anyway.

ended on a 19-6 run. Was hoping Brett learned from game 2, but not sure a timeout would have made that a ton better. Celtics just hit their shots, Sixers didn't (nobody checks the rims in Boston )

 

[wilked]

Simmons lost track of shot clock there 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

3 straight defensive stops for the Sixers and can't do jack#### on the other end

 

[wilked]

Jaylen starting to look like his normal self :-D

 

[modogg]

couple of reasons the Sixers aren't up, but one that they should not be having is missing wide open 3s. they can't afford any mistakes like these seeing how they will not catch any breaks

 

[wilked]

Ya strange game. Games 1-3 it was their D that struggled, this game it’s been an O issue 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Jaylen starting to look like his normal self :-D

it is surprising that he suddenly came out so able tonight

 

[Long Ball Larry]

this is fun:

"Aron Baynes now has more 3-pointers in 5 games this series (7) than he has had in every other game of his career, regular and postseason (6 in 409 games)"

i mean, honestly

 

[wilked]

Ya same here. Gotta give Brad credit for holding him back so far, not overdoing it on minutes. 

With Shane out though he’s got no choice tonite 

 

[modogg]

the only thing that is good if the Celtics win this series is that hopefully Jaylen Brown will be matched up on Lebron again and keep running his mouth. 

 

[modogg]

no way, they actually called a foul on Horford, and it was Saric who got the call? ref must have slipped, they will make Saric pay for that

Here we go....

love that ref talk 

 

[modogg]

damn Ben.. that sucked

 

[Long Ball Larry]

sooo many mistakes

 

[JuniorGong]

Funny how you jumped all over one of the Celtic posters for complaining about the refs yet you cry about them in every other post.

 

[offdee]

Simmons lost track of shot clock there 

Is he literally scared to shoot an actual jump shot?  He was wide open from 7 feet with two seconds on shot clock there and looks to pass. 

 

[Dedfin]

damn Ben.. that sucked

Yeah, but man he has some simply brilliant plays pretty often too.  He'll get it worked out, just not this year.

 

[wilked]

Is he literally scared to shoot an actual jump shot?  He was wide open from 7 feet with two seconds on shot clock there and looks to pass. 

Celts give him 8 feet to work with when he is above the 3 point line 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

guess tj's just gonna have to win this all by himself

 

[JuniorGong]

Toss Embiid

 

[modogg]

not crying. Just knew they wouldn't let Saric get away with it. took about 30 seconds. Not just this game, Saric is just not loved

 

[Long Ball Larry]

better to remain non-shooting and be thought a poor shooter than to let one fly and remove all doubt.

 

[modogg]

Toss Embiid

this is what all of Boston is saying. no foul on his block, and Baynes played it well. good for Aron

 

[Insein]

Well that's pretty much series. Sixers don't have it tonight. 

 

[Long Ball Larry]

knew embiid was gonna get a T sooner or later.  too much extracurricular activity the past couple games.

 

[JuniorGong]

this is what all of Boston is saying. no foul on his block, and Baynes played it well. good for Aron

Danger time for your boys

 

[wilked]

This is the main worry about Embiid developing to a Top 5 player, his maturity. He’s certainly got all the physics tools 

 

[modogg]

guess tj's just gonna have to win this all by himself

Sixers just need to know they aren't going to get any breaks. Have to play smarter and more disciplined and they are slipping too much

 

[modogg]

yes, most 22-23 year olds have peaked with their maturity

What sort of physics tools?  Like a cyclotron?

 

[wilked]

Embiid is 22/23?
