ITS THE OFFS BABY THE 2023 NBA PLAYOFFS

spo coached the perfect series (for the heat...)

lotsa scoring going on in this game.

celtics having rim protection issues ig

Box score says the Celtics have some assists - watching the 2nd quarter not sure I saw much passing just a lot of one on one drives.

theyve been playing this way the entire series and tbf theyve been scoring cause atl is so weak on d but its not the best way to play

and they had great ball movement all year

for the most part

and now john collins is bombing 3s cmon

if celtics lose this i will post bald trae young

celtics have to win so we dont turn into knicks fans

the celtics should be beating this team by a lot but they are not what's going on

I already turned into a Knicks fan, once the Bucks are out I root for chaos

idk theyre not that good, i mean theyre good enough but they cant just effortlessly dominate

they should try it out

im not opposed

Hunter has been great these past two

they’re doin it

celtics making us sweat for 44 minutes and then waltzing to a points buffer seems about right

why can you just repeatedly throw the ball at the sideline defender as an inbounder?

lol hawks throwing it off the celtics 3 times in a row then clean out of bounds

i thought that was supposed to be a tech if its deemed intentional

yeah seems like it should be considering it subverts the rule of having a limited amount of time to get the ball in bounds

you should not be allowed to do it twice in a row without some sort of consequence lol

welp cant say i loved this series but the celtics got the job done

cant say theyre particularly looking like a team thats ready to beat the sixers but tomorrow is a new day

are the sixers actually good this time, unlike all the previous times?

i havent really watched them this year

theyre about the same

embiid still seems like a guy you can throw off his game

def but also he can kill you you cant mess around

Still have Embiid and Harden and their particular strengths/flaws, but they might be a little deeper/tougher than the last couple years.

the celtics know these guys extremely well, they play them well, and embiid isn't 100%, so i guess this will be a 7-game nailbiter

That ending sucked but glad the hawks occasionally showed what they are capable of. Just so undisciplined. John Collins played great but man he needs to catch the ball and go. Trae needs to make a lot of changes. How many times does he have to watch one of his heaves turn into a fast break for the other team to stop. Bogi’s really awful on d. On the plus side I think the Bey trade worked out and still love the young pups. I guess run it back with Quinn see if he can do anything. I mean what are the other options really

hawks played great celtics defense couldnt do much with them i thought this series would be a walk but it was not

Also gotta give it up to Smart. When they decided to go with him rather than White I thought it would backfire but he killed it

marcus is a gamer you have to have him in middle of things for cruchtime

not jimmy buckets numbers but pretty good

i guess its helpful for athletes to be a little delusional but like man your shooting percentages are publicly available

3 or 4 threes….dare to dream

lol yeah maybe his standard is like every six games or so he hits some threes

i def thought that quote was fake when i first saw it

Dillon Brooks believes in the power of positive thinking. And mouthing off.

you gotta love a guy with a shooter’s mentality who shoots less than 30% from three

PER is the only advanced stat I can find a playoff leaderboard for, but FYI:

oh I guess RAPTOR has a leaderboard too but it’s kinda silly, too small a sample for those kinda stats

sabonis looks pretty jittery
