Can we get Pete to fill in for Mike Breen? I’d pay top dollar for that experience!

You may have to pony up more than $4, a couple flea market finds and 2 free lickings.

I’m just shocked we may have found someone more unhinged and angry than you!

Boston has a much shorter bench than the Warriors, which means that their top players play a lot more minutes per game (40+) than the Warriors top players (33-36).

Tatum has played 201 more playoff minutes than Curry, and Brown has played 201 more minutes than Green.

The Warriors are going to have a lot more energy in the 4th quarter than the Celtics will.....

Really wore those celtics down in the 4th last night.

You or Pete?

blackbears86 · 06-03-2022, 07:35 AM

Lot's of hot takes in here last night.

pete was a shining star with some of his comments.

That being said, it's only one game. Adjustments will be made on both sides. I'm still calling it GS in 6, but obviously if the Celts win, I will be happy.

rustywest · 06-03-2022, 09:28 AM

Happy the C's got on the board first. Big win

Will be interesting to see if they can switch-hunt Poole off the floor

Expecting the inevitable G.S blacklash game 2

gomiamigo · 06-03-2022, 09:33 AM

I foresee a lot of Tatum card purchases getting returned.

Why would a Tatum get returned? Record 13 assists for first Finals game. You don't need to hit when your teammates are hitting.

Attacking the paint and generating 3 opportunities is an art. Easier against the Warriors than Heat and Bucks I guess.

A lot easier to hit 50% from three when you get wide open looks every time. The Celtics beat the Warriors at their own game with the ball movement and passing.

rms13 · 06-03-2022, 03:22 PM

I heard a stat that it was the first game in NBA finals history where a team was down by double digits at the start of the 4th quarter and ended up winning by double digits.

Jordan Poole is the most overrated player on the planet

Wouldnt be mediocre if you can hit 50% open or not.

I feel bad for people that thought that

blackbears86 · 06-03-2022, 07:27 PM

Lot's of over reaction here. Just take a deep breath folks. Relax.

Look at the FACTS.

Boston has a track record of losing at home in these playoffs. Happened with the Bucks and the Heat.

Boston can look like the 96' Bulls one minute and then look like a g-league team the next.

I say this as a diehard Boston fan.

This series isn't over. If Boston wins Sunday night, then there can be an argument.

edit: and before anyone jumps all over me, I'm not saying anyone here said it was over.

blackbears86 · 06-03-2022, 07:27 PM

I agree as a Boston fan as well. In reality I’m expecting a 7 game series that could go either way but it sure is fun to rub Game 1 in the face of all the ridiculous overconfident arrogant Warriors fans who were saying Warriors in 4 or 5. Now if the Celtics win tomorrow then I think the series is over and C’s sweep. This feels like 2004 Sox to me as a Boston sports fan when they had the 7 game war vs Yankees and came back from the point of death again and then the WS was a 4 game sweep. While I don’t think Horford, Smart and White shoot 50% from there every game I do think the Cs are a bad match up for GS. If Time Lord stays healthy I think GS won’t be able to score in the paint and they can’t defend him on the alley oops. Brown is basically a 1A now and probably #1 guy on half the teams in the NBA right now. And most importantly Tatum probably won’t go 3-17 again and he probably will have at least one transcendent 45-50 point game. It’s hard to blow a 10+ point lead in the 4th and lose at home when the other teams best player has an awful shooting night and win a series. I don’t think that game will effect Steph, Klay and Draymond but I also don’t think Klay or Draymond are close to the same players they were in 2018
