2023 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread

Celtics were flat tonight. Probably it took too much energy to fight back in the series.

Agreed. Looked tired and injured.

Celtics need better guard play and better coaching. They can't get over the hump just running everything through Tatum.

Steak eggs with the all time jinx

Tatum is just like Donovan. Borderline Super Star but will never get it done when it matters.

Now pay me... Or simply apologize and admit your not as smart as you think you are.

And don't ever mock my superior basketball IQ again, thanks. We have enough Skip Bayless wannabes without the likes of you.

20 points in the last 6 quarters. He didn't get it done when it matters. Exactly like I said.

Tatum got injured in the first play of the game and was clearly hobbled all game.

Yeah... Respectively to you that's not going to fly in this case. He was also completely absent the last half of the last game too. If not for a miracle he would've been done sooner.

Again... He's a fantastic player, borderline Superstar but he's not going to be the main guy on a Championship team.

This series shows how important Vets are. Boston is great with JT And JB. But Buttler, even Lowrie make some differences. At the jazz, we will need on or two good vets to go along with our young talented players.

Jaylen Brown in his postgame interview said the Celtics had to completely change up their gameplan on the fly because Tatum couldn't really move.

Heat vs Denver is going to be interesting

I hope the Nuggets win a close series. But if they aren't rusty after a week off, I wouldn't be surprised if they sweep Miami. The Heat have injuries and only scraped by a very unconvincing Celtics team in a physically and mentally draining 7 game series. The Nuggets are easily the best team they've faced and they may be overwhelmed.

I'm rooting for the Nugs and Uncle Jeff.

I'm rooting for the Nugs and Uncle Jeff.

Me too. I really like Jokic as a person. He’s just a really good human being all round.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Jokic or Jimmy getting a chip… and I’m here for it… just hope the games are good. I keep thinking Miami has emptied the clip but they keep coming back.
