Miami and 76,ers
I hope they create an intro for tim bontemps as well just like banned mcmahon
The Celtics won because the Hawks unraveled. Tatum is the king of turning highlights from those kind of stretches into more mythos that he's an actual winner
Windy sucks as a host- he is always exhausted, does'nt let others talk enough and loves to blow his own horn.
Every year fans and media completely ignore the biggest concept around the playoffs which is MATCHUP. Matchups are why COACHING is important. C’s dominated at first, why because of Al Horford just as much as it was about JB. The Horford match up on the offensive end allowed JB to attack the paint, he spread the floor with his shooting. Eventually his legs got tired, the matchup changed to where the hawks offense attacked Horford religiously. That extended the series, the C’s benefit became their burden… trae pick and roll switched Horford into the ground to get his offense going, getting horford tired ultimately impacting the Celtics offense… it isn’t rocket science, the better team won and will continue to win based on matchups and who coaches around it better
Celtics in 7 over the 76ers heat in 6 over the Knicks
Celtics have been inconsistent all year, and they never actually showed they have figured out what they needed to figure out after losing in the finals last year. They still have late game execution woes, they try to run the clock down during the final minutes when they have a lead instead of continue running plays which is how their leads always disappear, and their offense comes and goes. Some nights they shoot well, other nights they go cold as ice. Too many holes in their games for series after series and their luck will eventually run out
This is a stupid conversation. I feel like the more pundits you pull together the worse the analysis. Its like the engineering paradox.
Lol windy making every excuse not to congratulate the heat, these heat haters just cause they have no stars
sorry but if you rely on one player to carry your team, you are a bad team
O.G is the best perimeter defender in the keague but he don'y get credit b/c he is on the Raptors. He is also to me the best versatile defender. I watched the guy guard Jokic, AD, Tatum, Kawhi, etc.& he did a very good job. Jrue could hardly keep Jimmy infront of him. His lateral movements are not there.
Giannis is GOD in Milwaukee and he already accomplished everything, if he leaves he will only get support.
Hey be quiet
Lol i want my credit lol 😆 get bandter
Celtics own Philly and a couple extra days off isn't going to save them…
Giannis shouldn’t take the extension in September- go get some easy rings like LeBron and KD. (Im from Milwaukee 😉)
TATUM HAS REALLY TAKEN ANOTHER STEP AS A PLAYER YOU CAN HEAR IT IN HIS INTERVIEWS…I MAY HVE TO PICK THE CELTICS TO LOSE THE FINALS AGAIN
WINDY–YOU NEED TO SURROUND YO SELF WITH COOL BLACK DUDES INSTEAD OF THESE WHITE GUYS IT MAKES YOU LOOK RACIST…AND THAT SONG WAS SO LES CLAYPOOL-EY
Considered but he's NOT i repeat NOT better than Jokić Embid or Steff and couple of others… 💯🤷♥️ (KD, Tatum…)
He’s got texas bloood
Teps definitely has slight autism
