can't disagree with anything here
On an individual level, what a moment for Al Horford, who makes his first Finals in Year 15. Has been about the right things his entire career, beloved teammate, absolutely massive around the rim on defense and on the glass tonight with the season at stake. https://t.co/NX5IUJzTTR— Zach Lowe (@ZachLowe_NBA) May 30, 2022

Congrats to the ILH celtics crew! So cool to see this team putting it all together. Here's to a competitive finals.

it's completely insane to me that this team is in the finals. they were unwatchable 5 months ago.

i always had faith in this team even when they were struggling but in the way you have faith in a second round team

looking forward to this one, warriors are such a different team than bucks&heat it should have a very different flavor to it. maybe tatum can finally look like a superstar
― ciderpress, Monday, 30 May 2022 03:37 (two years ago) link
also yeah glad the celtics finally get a full reset, they just played more than 3 weeks of tough games on 1 day rest

damn the heat getting shredded in here and being called an immoral basketball team after losing by four points in game 7 cold world

i will say… i think we can all agree that those who live in glass houses (root for marcus smart) shouldn’t throw stones (at kyle lowry)

i think we can all agree
oh no
― mookieproof, Monday, 30 May 2022 03:49 (two years ago) link
and i’m also sure we all saw tatum giving udonis haslem an extended speech in his ear after the game, pounding haslem on his chest, giving his immense respect to the torch bearer of heat culture and all he does for the game
― J0rdan S., Monday, 30 May 2022 03:52 (two years ago) link
jayson tatum can do whatever he wants, i still hate those guys

dunno why i'm surprised udonis is still on the team i guess i figured he'd be on the coaching staff or something at this point

the heat are not as beautiful as the beautiful game deserves its representatives to be
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Monday, 30 May 2022 03:55 (two years ago) link
i had the same reaction to the jimmy shot initially but sitting with it more i’m not really bothered by it. the celtics would’ve had the last shot with no worse than OT combo if jimmy goes for two and i just don’t see how the heat score enough to win in overtime. butler would’ve been into the 50+ minute range and the celtics beat them handily in the fourth when the game was heads up. the heat only came back by playing gimmicky defense with the celtics trying to burn clock and also smart missing several wide open threes. if butler wants to take an open shot to potentially end the game, given the way he played the last two games, i’m cool with it. it’s not like it was oladipo

its gotta be some shady deal they made with him to take less money years ago theres no other explanation
― lag∞n, Monday, 30 May 2022 03:58 (two years ago) link
xp yeah i don't necessarily disagree with the concept of the shot but if you watch it he was not balanced or in rhythm, he could have tried to get an and 1 on horford instead but that's not an easy or obvious decision in the moment
― call all destroyer, Monday, 30 May 2022 03:59 (two years ago) link
yeah back when they needed guys to play for peanuts to make the big 3 work
― ciderpress, Monday, 30 May 2022 03:59 (two years ago) link
yeah he double clutched it and was pretty short. he didn’t execute it well but the fact that he took it i’m cool with. also ppl are just handing butler two points it’s not like the lane was just wide open. horford played great rim defense in the fourth quarter xp
― J0rdan S., Monday, 30 May 2022 04:03 (two years ago) link
yeah it was a wide open look and if you make it youre ahead idk
― lag∞n, Monday, 30 May 2022 04:06 (two years ago) link
with haslem… honestly NBA rosters are too big for the amount of guys in the world who can truly play at that level, no team really needs 15 roster spots bcuz no team can actually find 15 guys who are good NBA players. the heat are essentially circumnavigating the coaching staff rules by putting him on the roster instead of some young player who is ultimately inconsequential to the team. they develop guys on their g league team and give their two way guys real run during the season anyway. the heat cut kyle guy at the end of the year in order to put haywood highsmith on a two way… i liked kyle guy but the heat don’t need kyle guy. i honestly think more teams should try keeping an old head around on their roster for a decade
― J0rdan S., Monday, 30 May 2022 04:07 (two years ago) link
like i just looked at the celtics roster they have malik fitts, juwan morgan, luke kornet and nik stauskas on their team. if al horford was willing to take a minimum salary to sit on the bench and never touch the court for the years 2025 to 2030 i think that legitimately would have more value to them than making sure they had one more essentially useless player on their roster
― J0rdan S., Monday, 30 May 2022 04:12 (two years ago) link
that last roster spot has value from a development pov also the younger guys are cheaper, any old guys who want to hang around can get off the cap and become coaches
