Lakers lost by alot of people in 2022 and they won alot of games in 2022 so yeah in the middle
People keeping asking what happened in the Finals, it’s simple, the team was young & gassed and Tatum was way more hurt than they let on.
I am cute?❤️🥰💋
Refs and players both do there dirt it’s a push and pull I don’t think they should ever disrespect each other but players do be doing the most not all but some
Because of the economic crisis that always comes up the best thing to be on every wise individual’s mind or list is to invest in different streams of income that’s not depending on the government to generate funds.
please don't give techs for this its the best celly
Al can switch but they played in the drop in the finals (they had to bc steph on al isn't a good match up n leads to roations and lay ups and bc rob was hurt). it was a big narrative. when they played it right bigs were high tho and steph runs his pnrs v high so the shot they were giving up was a contested 30/35 footer of the dribble. thats an extremely tough shot. n steph hit it enough but Cs held warriors 7ppg below their szn average in the finals. 9ppg below their playoff average.
Celtics young guys fake choked against a great defensive scheme over those last 3 games. they turned the ball over and def were fatigued and banged up. steph did play great, and i thought it was a defining moment for draymond too. but Cs defense didn'tt loose that finals
The Luke Kornet moment 😂
Kat should have been the best player in the league by now imo. Oh well
great interview
Celtics extended horfords contract for 2yrs this morning 😂😂
Brothers also shouldn’t be reffing lol especially the playoffs
horford was the 2nd ranked most switchable big 1 through 5 last season only behind bam lol he can totally guard 1/5
Kornet can shoot smh
Tf was this filmed on
The Celtics were dead tired in the finals last yr that’s why Tatum was missing lay up and shots in the paint and shot 68% from the FT line when he’s a career 86% shooter he’s played way more minutes than anybody since he’s been in the league if they were tired they would of smoked the warriors. But it’s koo because it only made this revenge season even better
Kornet can definitely shoot, but don’t worry CJ you’ll find out next time they play
Dude thinks Horford can’t guard 1-5 because he can’t guard Steph Curry well smh. News flash. 95% of big men can’t guard Steph average. Horford switches 1-5 and CJ knows what he’s talking about
To be the best pointguard of all-time you have to play pointguard. Curry is a pointguard in name only. His assist to turnover ratio is terrible. Curry is an average player statistically. The only reason he averages 24 points a game is cause he shoots 10 3s a game. More than half his points come from 3. That's not basketball.
Ayo why Izzy look like that!?
Boston only lost cause the warriors had an 11 man rotation cause their roster was worth $400 million, while Boston only had a 7 man rotation cause their roster was worth $200 million. Compounding that paid for advantage was Boston having 3 injured starters. The warriors are paying for cheating last year this year by being the play-in team they really are when they don't have the advantage they've bought for years now. Windhorst called them out for this during the finals. Game 5 was a "checkbook win".
Say what you want about the way kornet blocks but it's weirdly effective
CJ studied journalism and has no idea "comfortability" is not a word or is trying too hard since the real word is Comfort which is shorter. Can't stand people who use buzzwords without even checking if they're real or not. It's Poser behavior
Luke Kornett can hit 3's. They just have no reason to have him do that.
The celtics were 8m away from a 3-1 lead over the Warriors. It was Tatums injury and fatigue as much as the Warriors experience.
Whincing at Kevin McHale having good stats was an ignorant moment
With the Celtics I think it was experience and turnovers but that Mia and Milwaukee series I believe took a lot out of them. It's like they were physically and mentally exhausted
What's up with with the 240p cameras
AS A LAKER FAN I HAD TO ADMIT THAT THE CELTICS ARE THE TEAM TO BEAT…….THEY ARE PLAYING AN UNBELIEVABLE ASPECTS ON ALL FACETS OF THE GAME OF BASKETBALL EVEN WITHOUT ROBERT WILLIAMS…WOW
