Celtics/NBA 2022 Playoffs- Part 6 - The NBA Finals - Celtics go back to Boston trailing 3-2

[JRull86]

I am once again asking Udoka to go small at some point

They are a much better team with Rob on the floor.

Second they go small, Kerr will put in Wiggins/Looney combo that destroyed them in g4.

They don't have enough pure shooting in a small lineup to take advantage.

Pretty much a must win tonight or they're effed... In my opinion at least.

Game 5 winner in a 2-2 series wins 83% of the time historically in the NBA.

DON'T TURN THE BALL OVER AND DON'T FORGET HOW TO PLAY OFFENSE

Seriously, don't turn every play into "four players stand in their own corner while Tatum dribbles at the top of the key until 7 seconds left on the shot clock, then everyone panics like the fire alarm went off."

Of course they are better with Rob but he looked cooked after 31 minutes in game 4. You can't rely on him playing big minutes and when the Celtics are running 1 big Golden State are attacking the big and forcing him to guard at the perimeter or drop and be in no mans land for contesting the shot or being in position to grab the board. It might get killed but Golden State can't just spam the high screens to get Curry onto the big if they go small so even for just a few minutes i want to see how a small rotation looks.

Mother f***ers

Tatum immediately starts the game with a turnover

 

[EverettMike]

Great defense guys. Really bringing it.

Jaylen thinks he's Jordan tonight. That sucks.

 

[Shaun]

if they dont survive this first quarter surge they are toast

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Couldn’t have asked for a worse start. The pressure has got to them.

 

[EverettMike]

Take worse shots. These are only D- looks. You can get worse.

f*** is Jaylen already 0 for 20?

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Tatum can’t do anything on O.

 

[N o o d l e s]

I see there’s been no change in the way they’re defending screens on the perimeter

 

[KrejciMVP]

Tatum step up time. dont barf all over game 5

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

This is embarrassing.

Curry hasn’t even scored yet. They’re f***ed.

 

[shelbysdad]

well....hopefully the crap shooting stretch gets left in the first Q

 

[JRull86]

Silver lining, Looney has 3 fouls already

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

8 points in 8 minutes, more turnovers than assists and Tatum somehow looks even softer out there. Not great!

 

[EverettMike]

Tatum can’t do anything on O.

Why can't he get past anybody? Why is he so easily defended by everyone right now?

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Smart thinks he’s going to be tonight’s hero. Cute.

 

[EverettMike]

Three minutes left in the first quarter and it's already over.

Frauds always reveal themselves in the end.

 

[KrejciMVP]

GS scouting report did well

 

[Johnnyduke]

I am pretty sure they have zero chance to win when Tatum doesn't shoot the ball. If he can't figure this out it's over.

 

[JRull86]

Tripped himself with no contact. Brutal.

 

[EverettMike]

GS scouting report did well

That's not how it's supposed to work with first-team all nba players. Not for five straight games.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Sorry this is a major overreaction right now letting everyone else get good looks to deny curry all game. Just change the way you defend him off screens and that’s the only change they needed to make if he scores 30 whatever

 

[EverettMike]

Four turnovers.

f***ing losers.

Asshole shot by Curry.
