3%!! Miami!!! ❤️
Barkley is good comic relief, but he hurts my brain when he tries to serioulsy break down basketball games or series. Cringy.
Never mind that the Celtics offense is all 5 guys standing around the three point line, The coach also doesn't know how to sub players. Robert Williams changed every game when he came in yet the dude was on the bench most of the 2nd half so they could have another shooter in to jack up terrible 3's. Horford plays hard but he adds nothing to the team, He got beat all night defensively and he passes up 8 foot shots to pass out to guys so they can then take terrible 3's. Every end of quarter play is Tatum standing around dribbling then either losing the ball or throwing up a horrible shot. The coach can't draw up plays and he doesn't know when to use certain guys. He needs to go. I am convinced they wouldn't even have been in that situation last night if they had a competent coach. They should sign and trade Brown ASAP.
This is the first time I actually agree with EVERYTHING Chuck said. 💯
'Hey coach, how many threes you told the team to take for this game?'
Joe Mazulla: 'Yes'
Tatum is very soft and is not competitive like butler. And focus on ur job. keep ur kid off the court until you win. It’s not a daycare
Shooting 3s when they cold is how they lost last year.
The made the buzzer was for nothing
Brad Stevens would've won this series
What can u say shaq and chuck to the miami team???u r also dont believe heat can defeat celtics😅😅😅
pat riley is genius in recruiting undrafted players
Flat out: Congratulations to Heat for having pride, and heart; and not folding… Applauding the Celtics for the same; but playing catch up from a 3-0 deficit can be exhausting, and truth be told; they should've showed that sense of urgency in first 3 games, and it wouldn't of been a difficult feet to accomplish…
I am looking in the mirror this morning did I really said that.
Didnt they say kyrie was the problem in bosten ?
Shoot another three and imma punch you in the face….😂😂😂😂 Shaq wild
Shaq said shit KEKW
*Inside the NBA React. They react.
Embid comes back two weeks into a six week knee sprain recovery and struggles to show MVP form….. He’s a bum. Suck it up Philly!
Tatum gets injured… we lost because of an injury….
As a Celtics fan I’m beyond disappointed. Mazzulla was handed an entire team. Multiple stars, a deep bench, home court advantage and did nothing with it…shout out to Miami though they fought hard and deserve it.
Heat are the 8th seed and are going to the nba finals 👏👏
Miami's scouting is superb. They're not on the hype of the draft every year, they look for hoopers for real.
Dame coming to Boston. Thank you Jaylen for your service.
I am glad the Celtics got sent home so I don't have to hear anymore delusional C's fans talk for the rest of this season. This team has been yapping about championship for the past 4-5 years and all I see is consistent choking at crucial time.
I’m proud of these Celtics; you’re the best! 3 different coaches in 3 years; 3 eastern conference title appearances. You lost your head coach, and both head coaching assistants, and had the guy in the second row take over. You never had anything resembling home court advantage that every team in the NBA has; but I digress…. It shouldn’t take a genius to figure out that you guys was just coaching yourselves…. Your problem is not that you don’t have a “playmaker”, its that you call your playmaker a ”PF” and give him the ball at the end of the games. Try that on any PlayStation or XBOX game, and your “PF” dribbling through the lane will lose the ball every time. That’s why its called “matchups”. You do NOT exploit the matchups right PEOPLES? It’s the referees job to exploit the matchups, its your job as a coach is to create the mismatches in your favor. To create the mismatch in Tatums favor, for the rest of his career, since he handles the ball 90% of the time anyway, name him your starting “PG” man! How the hell do you think Harden is so successful, or Luca? It’s because they have “PG” floating over the top of his head. If you float “PG” over the top of Tatums head, they have to call all those reach fouls and give him a driving lane to the basket. Under 3 minutes to go in every quarter, you create a mismatch in the other teams favor by giving your “PF” the ball at the top of the key with a “PG” guarding him, most of the time 2 guards guarding him. Now, if you put your “PF” on the block, with those same two “PG”s guarding him, it now becomes a mismatch in the “PF”s favor, your in his domain now. Get it? It’s a game. Name him your starting point guard next year, he will then be operating in the correct domain, he will get all those calls he desires, but, be careful what you wish for, he will get murdered in the post. You have to pick, it’s a game…. But whatever you do, don’t name Tatum point guard and then start posting him up!!! Damn man, its matchups.
you live by the three you die by the three
The problems with the Celtics was
1. They are not deep enough. Tatum and Brown are their two best players but their 3rd best player is a far below them.
2. Tatum and Brown were way too inconsistent with their shoot. If you are not hitting your outside shots you need to penetrate inside.
3. Don't blame the coach for all-star players making poor shot selection and for shooting poorly. Was the coach suppose to take them out of the game? I like Joe Mazzulla intensity but his imitation of Gregg Popovich became very annoying. Smile during the interviews, respect the reporters and fans who pay for your salaries by providing full answers and don't look so pissed off when you win. Popovich did not have his grouchy attitude until much later in his career when he won some championships.
4. The Celtics played very poor defense. Yes Jimmy Butler will get his points, but the Celtics allowed non-all stars on Heat to play like all-stars.
Ok yes the coach has a big job.
But! How tf is it on the coach when your team is 0 for 12 😂 like he can only say and do so much
The Refs are so bad , the travels so blatant it is unwatchable. It has spread to college basketball is dead.
Udoka not being able to keep it in his pants cost us the finals and ultimately a championship. Cheating hurts everybody.
Congrats Miami Heat 🎉
Great finals. Celtics Lakers rest can watch.
Dang, chuck brought the fountain of wisdom with him on this one
Charles was spitting facts in this conversation
Said it before, say it again. Gabe Vincent was key and Caleb Martin. Those dudes I was begging my Pacers to get early on. 2k raise the ratings, badges and Jimmy HOF clutch badge. MJ dad Fundemtals badge as well 😆
No Joe isn't, they need a Tibbs.. or another strong minded coach that can boost his guy's mentality cause player's, them.. don't have it.
The Celts are too soft.
Celtics front office is main issue. They need Red Auerbach back.
Shaq id 💯 right
Rondo and big 3 were much better from this current roster.. They pressured,, they didnt know how to win games in playoofs…
I think chuck loss some wieght
Kenny Knows!
Legit wit bits from a trio of entertaining wisdom.. The commentary from the trenches is absolutely bonafide. Congrats on a great show.
"there's a reason why it's never been done…" badly placed because it was 3-3. should have said it when miami was 3-0.
In naming Spoelstra as head coach, Riley said: "This game is now about younger coaches who are technologically skilled, innovative, and bring fresh new ideas. That's what we feel we are getting with Erik Spoelstra. He's a man that was born to coach.
