5/29 - The Last Of Us

Butler isn't being hailed as a top five player. For all of the "great game 7s!!" Tatum has had, should I list the playoff duds that top players DONT have?
No. I don't need to. Because we all know they exist.
They need to stop putting themselves in a position where they need TimeLord to be successful. He should be treated as a luxury item. He will always be injured or playing hurt.
Not giving the Heat a chance is a mistake. They play hard and the Nuggets have never been to the Finals. The Nuggets probably win, but I doubt they sweep
Silver lining, they saved the embarrassment of playing the Nuggets.
Rocco forever. Love you all.

How anyone could watch how Tatum was moving and complain about his performance is actually beyond me. His ankle is fucked. He’d be out for the game and probably a week or two if this was a February game.
At least if that happened we wouldn’t have to keep Mazzulla..
Just not sure why anyone would think he gives the Cs their best chance at a championship
Over reaction but I'd gladly trade any player who had 8 turnovers in a game 7.
Celts had a great first four minutes in this one—-and then got totally outplayed for the next 40.
A great effort to come back to 3-3, but just an awful way to close. They gave away games 1-2, and they shit the bed in game 7. It just doesn’t make you feel great.
Miami does a lot of annoying stuff, and they played over their heads shooting-wise all series, but they are tough, they execute, and they are a whole lot more consistent than the Celtics. And that’s why they are advancing

He was the best player not named Caleb Martin in this series when he had 2 functional legs
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Boston team pull its starters in a game 7 loss. I’d leave the starters in and make them feel every bit of it.
Its probably not fair to fire CJM when the team was 1 win away from the Finals, but hope they do
Disappointed in the end, but making the final four is, to me, a successful season. I was highly entertained.
Have you not listened to all the playoff Jimmy bullshit during these playoffs? They have compared the guy to Jordan.
Boston is gonna be 5-6 at home in these playoffs.
Bruins were 1-3 at home.
Nice job going 6-9 at home by the Boston squads.
Protect the civic indeed.

Tatum is outplaying Butler tonight? I know you are the ultimate homer, but come on.
And TL got hurt and only played 14 minutes, and Brogdon got hurt and only played a few useless minutes.
They basically lost their best player, and all of their depth in one fell swoop. A better effort would have been nice, but this was an uphill battle the minute Tatum rolled that ankle.
Butler has been terrible most of the series and he's 12/28 today. They're winning because of Caleb Martin and the Celtics, particularly Brown, not being able to shoot all game. Oh and Tatum's ankle.
I love the narrative that the Bruins didn’t show up for that game. They dominated that first period and got goalie’d. Then their guy couldn’t make match it.
I don’t like it.
Not in a Game 7.
You need to keep your guys in and hope for the unprecedented.
Was it going to happen? No.
But hate the white flag in this spot.
Brown sucked when the Celtics needed him the most he had an amazing regular season, but his series against the Heat was bad.
Jaylen Brown has been my favorite player for many years. I may be done with him after this. Just an unbelievable, terrible, stupid performance. I can forgive a lot. I can’t really forgive taking shots 5 feet behind the 3P line when you are shooting like absolute crap. It’s time to trade a quarter for two dimes
He added way more than you. You are trolling by ignoring Tatum rolling his ankle badly on the first play. You just being a dick, god knows why
Smart is likely trade bait but you can’t trade brown without a plan. There just isn’t a replacement available at his level.
Sweet.
So, Brown sucked. Other than him...who was more at fault for this blowout than Tatum? The mid-30s center? The 3rd/4th banana that is Marcus Smart? Derrick White hitting 3s and driving the lane to keep us in it?
Oh. No. Nobody. Nobodies at fault. This embarrassment should be owned by nobody.
Yup. Honestly, if we were told that Caleb Martin would perform like this I don’t think it would have shocked anyone to say the Heat won the series. He’s been the best player (on both teams) in this series.
I’ve never fucking seen anything like it
I’ll be shocked if the Finals go more than 6 games. And I hope JB played himself out of a max contract from the Celtics this series.
