i hate in sports when someone says "i got it!" but then they miss it.

“Can’t be bothered” and “EST tipoffs conflict with my kids bedtime” aren’t really the same thing

Trag this is commentary on the 4th quarter performance which you are apparently unaware of. Whether you watched it live is meh.

I don’t think Boston played terrible at all. I just think they got some bad coaching in the final stretch.

They've been inconsistent in 4th quarters all season. Combination of coaching, bad basketball IQ, and youth.

Warriors are about as experienced as a team can be in that sort of spot.

Thanks for this insight, MD. Didn't keep up at all until playoffs. What's the general consensus on Udoka? I've been enjoying most of what I've seen, but these 4th Q meltdowns are pissing me off.

Udoka is getting rave reviews after a rocky start to the season. He turned talented team into a defensive juggernaut that can be historically dominant when their offense is flowing.

They must all have a lot in common.

Former/lapsed hardcore Celtics fan who’s made a fair-weather return once they made the playoffs. Trying to get caught up on rosters. Hopefully this will continue through next season.

Welcome back.

It's a good team. Young core. Defense is solid. The challenge is that their best two players, Tatum and Brown, are still really sensitive, complain about the refs too much (and pretty much everything) and are not super consistent.

And they turn the ball over too much.

Don't forget that, coach.

I can't believe that I forgot that!

I went to the M’s / Red Sox game today and it was kinda funny to see Boston fans wearing green Celts jerseys under their unbuttoned red Sawx jerseys. Christmas in June.

[Coach]

All the money is on GSW tonight and they are giving away four points. But I read that the Celts are 8-3 on the road and only 6-5 at home during the playoffs.

I'd put the money on GSW tonight. Celtics let them off the hook. Celtic will push it to 7 but Steve finally gets his Finals MVP and all the super authentic warrior fans like MD climax

Sadly, I agree with you on this.

Celts seemingly blew their chance last game.

The scoring margin for the whole series is +1 Warriors. This thing is going 7 and Game 7s are always weird.

That's interesting, feels like GSW should be up by more.

Saw something where Steve responded to all the support he's seeing from other players like LeBron on Twitter and that it means everything to him. More than anything, the guy just wants to be seen as cool.

That should be a motivating factor for Boston in this series.

They need that to be motivated? It's the NBA Finals.

I look for Tatum to have a big game tonight or Thursday. He's due.
