Celtics had only 5 players that scored and 3 of their starters logged in zero points. That's insane.

I don’t know how much he plays against the Knicks? I think he pretty much emptied the tank.

Knicks are the toughest matchup for the Spurs and that's if they can get past OKC. Not seeing a title this year. Knicks over OK City in the final

49 three point attempts in a game 7, with a lane defended by a nearly immobile Joel Embiid? Good riddance to Mazzullaball. What a joke

If you watch the game.. the C's are without any playable bigs. Once you limit both Brown and White.. they are done for

Provided if Embid is healthy. He will be heavily guarded by Robinson and any other bigs thrown at him

One of this stupid stats...how many players sit out three games and get real playing time afterwards? In addition you need this series to extend to 7 (or at least 6) if you want to reach 100.

I tried to ask the KI to give me a list, but it told me, it's to specific. My guess is that #2 would be some bench scrub that got hot during a series and ended up with like 40 points.

Edgecombe is a stud tbh.

Edgecombe is a stud tbh.

I fully expect him to be traded to OKC with five first round picks at some point.

honestly how do you start those three scrubs game 7

Gonna hear a lot of Giannis to Celtics noise next few months. Jaylen Brown can go gun for his precious 'MVP' with Tyler Jenkins' Bucks. They will overachieve in the regular season like those Grizz teams.

The up 3-1 with homecourt choke stings even more because of how rare an occurrence it is. Dubs doing it at NBA Finals is still absolutely nuts

Silver pocketing that draymond suspension helped

There goes Ron Harper Sr dream of seeing his kids go at it at the Finals. Well, let’s see if the Celtics can still get it to the Finals in the next few years, because Spurs and Dylan would.

Let’s gooooo!!!!

Knicks fans are starting to get on my nerves. They have really started planning a parade after Boston got eliminated. They are acting like they are a Spurs upset of Thunder away from chippin' this season, guaranteed, because they somehow own us and we have no chance against them in that matchup based on a 3-game sample size (2-1).

Nothing more satisfying to me than Wemby humbling the most obnoxious fanbase in professional sports.

A $200MM trade would have to be a record, right?

Would seem to be. Since they don't have their picks and with the new lottery/draft reality still murky, I would think Bucks will want players (legit talent) for Giannis to stay competitive in the East. Not sure if JB is available, but i would definitely jump at him (much better than Herro, Rockets core guys, Mobley etc.)

 

[cediskace]

seriously....... the meaningless made up stats are out of control now in the NBA.....

 

[cediskace]

well, if i got it right, the Celtics missed 10 straight shots in the money time to end the game (mostly three's), well, actually before a meaningless 2 by pritchard when the game was already over....... not that the sixers were making a lot of them in the meantime but hey, that allowed them to keep their little margin before maxey two drives to seal the game.... not the best moment to dry up....

Got a worse example for you...

I was at the 1979 spurs playoff game in the old hemisfair arena as a child....the fans were going nuts as the spurs went up 3-1...
the announcer says over the pa, "spurs fans, please stay off the floor - as the spurs will need that for THE NBA FINALS!!!"

fans went nuts...one more win over the overrated Washington Bullets and Gervin/Kenon and the boys are the first former aba team to go to the nba finals!

and then...

it would be 20 more years before the spurs made the finals ...

*except for the "homecourt" part* ...game 7 was at landover,maryland...
