The Official NBA Thread: Celtics Lead 3-1 in the NBA Finals | RIP Jerry West

[B Sox]

Id be shocked if boston won it all with that weak of a bench

Bench has to do a lot more with Zingus out, and weaknesses are amplified. They don’t have a chance of winning if he’s not like 75% whenever he returns.

Most folks who watch basketball know Chris Paul is an *******.

Since we get to decide which championships are real now, do the Lakers claim this one?

The Celtics depth, which had all those great stats from the 30 pt win games, looks like trash.

Hate to see it but not really

I took pacers to win last night..

Smh knew they had it in them but can’t inbound the ball up 3 lmfao

Didn’t catch the 2nd half

I bet this gives the Celtics the series now. Feel like pacers hot n cold. Gonna be cold next game or two

That was their game to win and fumbled it big time

The bench was literally 29th in the league in scoring.

Don’t think anybody has ever gloated about their production, but go off

 

[ALNotSure]

Have to wonder if Joe Mazzulla's coaching style is sustainable through a deep playoff run. He really asks a lot of his guys.

Neemias Queta or Jaden Springer can't give 8 minutes?

Thibs like “let him cook”

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Celtics are a better version of the lob city clippers. Think everyone trusts them to collapse eventually. They'll blow the Pacers out in game 2 tho

 

[DCAllAfrican]

As good as expected.

Late as hell to this, but if you read the filing Melo was stopped at a red light. It turned green and he drove off like you’re supposed to do. This wasn’t a case of him driving recklessly and running the red light like he has, although it’s ironic that doing that would’ve avoided this scenario.

The kid’s mother was there and allowed her kid to walk up to his car while it was on a surface street in order to get an autograph. Could Melo have been more aware of his surroundings? Sure. But why are kids in the ****ing street trying to get an autograph? And why are parents allowing this?

Sounds like the Hornets need to do a better job of securing the player’s entrance, or at least have a designated area for autographs/pics. And parents gotta do better. It’s an unfortunate situation, but totally avoidable by all parties involved.

People should read up on Giddey's case too. The jokes are funny but it sucks for him. He might actually be a pedo but nothing from his case really supports that

If you can name a team that won a championship while missing a 20+ PPG scorer who leads the team in FG% and blocks, and is 2nd in rebounding, have at it

Y'all 4th best player does all that? That's crazy...and the 5th best just dropped 28 last night?

So far up the No Excuses list it's crazy.

The gift & curse of KP.

If he’s still hurt by the finals I don’t know what you do with him going forward.

Boston did everything imaginable to keep him healthy.

Hopefully he’s good to go.

Healthy C’s have the best top 6 in basketball by a good margin

Wonder what happens with NBA TV. WBD/TNT Sports produces and operates the channel.
