Dallas and Houston not so much but that organization seems so vanilla. Successful but vanilla. Like you said though….might not matter to a kid from France as the Euros seem to not care as much about the markets they are in. Growth in both Austin and San Antonio are slowly bleeding into each other. They are an hour away. Eventually, it will turn into a megalopolis. Agree with San Antonio for most part, but he wouldn't need to spend his time anywhere else and I feel most players don't spend their off seasons in the places they play, unless it's Miami, LA, or New York.

KoB2011 Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 I don’t know that we often made TJD/Bam comparisons, but could that maybe be the guy? Similar sizes and athleticism and honestly, similar skill sets in that they can stretch the floor without the three ball because of their handle and facilitation.

BGleas Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Absolutely embarrassing to be 4-5 at home in the playoffs. Absolutely embarrassing to be down 0-2 against Miami. Absolutely embarrassing to get torched by freakin Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 My Dad was a Celtics fan so naturally I grew up a Lakers fan. Pat Riley man. He and Spolestra showing they know hoops and know how to construct a team. Rebounding wins. This wasn't a Celtics loss this was a Heat win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see which team wins 4 of 5. Lakers or Celtics. Otherwise it's Heat vs Nuggets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the postgame, Kenny pointing out he won a series after going down 0-2 at home. It can happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you keep moving forward with both Tatum/Brown or do you maybe move Brown for another piece(s) and switch things up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 I think that loss is going to haunt the Celts. It's really hard to imagine anyone beating Jimmy and Spo 4 out of 5, with three of those in Miami. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 I'm back! Win Game 3 in Miami and Game 5 in Boston. Then the Celtics have proven they can win a road Game 6 (Milwaukee last year and Philly this year). Then anything can happen at home in Game 7! We got this. Right? Yeah, we're good!

I think Toronto did it to Milwaukee the year they won the title. Milwaukee did it to Phoenix in the Finals the year they won the title. Both were going down 0-2 on the road though. I'm not saying I'd put money on it or anything, just saying there is a path and the Celtics can do it. Celtics are the more talented team. Miami is the better coached team. To this point, Miami is the tougher team. The Celtics are on life support, but their not dead yet. Obviously, Game 3 is absolutely must win. They're not coming back from 0-3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Hard to believe the Heats supporting cast has so thoroughly out played the Celtics. I do wonder can Jimmy hold up playing 42–43 minutes a game…he has had a bum ankle in the past. I feel like Celtics figured something out with that high pick n roll in the center of the court with Tatum and Williams…they just need to finish games. With the exception of the Tatum game 6 against the 76ers they just haven’t closed games out well. Edited May 20, 2023 by dgambill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Lakers will get home cooking to get back in the series. Continue to put Murray and Jokic in pick n roll on defense against Lebron and AD and company. They really found something in Hachimura. Finally looks like the prospect he was suppose to be coming into the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you. Butler/Heat are on a mission. IMO, not even Tatum can match Butler’s determination/skill now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
