It's Now Time For The Celtics To Punch Back After Suffering One The top 3 worst butt beatings In NBA Finals History

 

[Instinctive]

I will be avoiding this thread tonight (I know, rejoicing ensued) and am a liiiiiiiiitle bit tipsy after a phenomenal client offsite. I predict Mavs by 12, Kyrie smokes the Celtics in the second half, Luka comes out and drops a 30-6-6 in the first half and it's never really in doubt. Tatum sucks again.

#MFFL
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAKE HISTORY

Can't come back from 3-0 unless you go down 3-0. Shouldn't have let them get one!

 

[Long Ball Larry]

No minutes restriction for KP according to mazzulla

 

[Capella]

Any predictions for tonight's game?

Boston fairly comfortably

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Any predictions for tonight's game?

A merciful ending to this debacle of a postseason.

 

[ShamrockPride]

It's bouta get  zingy in here.

 

[ShamrockPride]

JB just had his defender beat on a drive, and just stopped underneath the basket for no reason, and settles for a fade. Wtf.

He seems nervous.

 

[msudaisy26]

These teams might now combine for 22 three's.

 

[identikit]

Just turned on the game

What'd I miss?

 

[ShamrockPride]

Get KP off the court. Appreciate his willingness, but his inability to move is leaving multiple wide open looks.

 

[Jayrod]

Just turned on the game

What'd I miss?

Tatum and Brown are scoreless.

Fixed now

 

[brun]

KP really shouldn't go back onto the floor

 

[Ghost Rider]

Until that spurt by the Celtics, that was a pathetic quarter of basketball.

 

[SayWhat?]

Is there anything worse, in any professional sport, than NBA players not attempting 3/4 court shots with seconds on the clock at the end of quarters/halves? Presumably to preserve their stats and not miss a shot? I mean, that’s the only reason I’ve ever been able to come up with. Seriously, zero downside to heaving one up, but especially in the MOTHER ****ING NBA FINALS.

Rumors Lebron met with Nick Nurse today at the 4 Seasons in Philly.

It wasn’t Lebron. It was Elton brand and somebody on Twitter started a whole thing claiming it was Lebron.

What kind of shirt was he wearing? How big was his collar?

Check the hairline

was this a Landon Donovan joke?

 

[mr. furley]

No minutes restriction for KP according to mazzulla

what in the...??? how is this possible??

It's the NBA finals.

 

[the moops]

I think partly because these fans have been let down so many times by Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox... it's almost expected.

ABC drew 9.62 million viewers for the Mavericks' throttling of the Celtics on Friday night.

That looks to be the 2nd-lowest NBA Finals Game 4 on record, behind only the pandemic bubble, when Game 4 of Lakers-Heat drew 7.54 million (that also aired in October).

I mean, the series was 3-0 and most of the country hates anything Boston so I doubt people wanted to watch them clinch.

 

[msudaisy26]

Did Gafford foul out on that Horford play? I think he should have.

 

[msudaisy26]

This Celtics defense has been unbelievable.

 

[mr. furley]

he spit a chiclet, didn't he?

 

[msudaisy26]

he spit a chiclet, didn't he?

I couldn't look.

 

[ShamrockPride]

If Tatum is doing all his other #### AND hitting his shots, real tough to beat.

 

[identikit]

Looks like the Celtics are all about winning the last few minutes of every quarter tonight

 

[dickey moe]

Ouch

 

[dickey moe]

Brown looks possessed.

Lol.. Pritchard

 

[massraider]

Uh huh. I mean, come on

 

[identikit]

Peyton comes through huge

Finally

 

[msudaisy26]

Might be an early dagger

Happy now?

 

[Jayrod]

Fffffffffffffffhsjjdjsjsusajkajs

 

[Ghost Rider]

Congrats to the Celtics. Ball game.

 

[dickey moe]

LMAO

 

[identikit]

Too early to be a dagger, but daggerish

 

[TLEF316]

Lolz. Maybe don't let him shoot any more of those

 

[msudaisy26]

Maybe I was right about this being the Celtic 3 pointer game.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Luka is a really bad defender. I stopped keeping track of how many times he cost the team an open drive due to his absent help defense.

His contest on that half court three was solid.

 

[Jayrod]

Right now is where Joe Mazzula is going to be great. He is in their ear telling them it isn't over.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

1972 all star game is on nba tv…

 

[Ministry of Pain]

1972 all star game is on nba tv…

The Late Great Jerry West will be the MVP at the Forum if I recall
Only scored 13 points

 

[Nick Vermeil]

This has got to be one of the least entertaining NBA finals in memory. Followed closely by how bad the NHL finals have been. Are Olympic diving qualifiers on?

This is no different than last year.

 

[msudaisy26]

Celtics look like they are trying to run out the clock.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

'13 - Heat over the Spurs in 7 games, we all remember Ray Allen bailing out the Heat down 3-2 with security setting up for a Spurs victory
You have the Cavs down 3-1 in 2016 pull it out in 7

Most of these NBA Finals are pretty bad or lop sided, most of the Series that were even 4-2 seem lopsided in hindsight.
NBA not exactly showcasing their best stuff on the biggest stage.
