Steve has nothing left to achieve. Hopefully he gets really fat now or something.

Draymond for sure is washed from here on out.

Celtics had a great season to turn things around like they did and make the Finals, but fuck me if they didn't just roll over this series.

All respect to the Warriors - the played great and had things figured out and got great effort from all the players they used.

Celtics need a real point guard, a real first scoring option and a bench. Other than that though...

I still had a great time watching them this season though, especially the 2nd half. They did a lot of great things.

Wonder if anyone would be willing to take Jayson Tradems $35 mill pa off our hands? Sadly his legacy has taken a beating this series - not sure if he can recover. 2 points in the 2nd half...

And by God do I despise Jordan Poole.

Celtics just seemed worn out as the series progressed. A roster that both underachieved and overachieved during the year. The Finals were a regression to the mean against a team that was rock solid with their identity and experience.

Send Jayson to the Bulls. He's 24 and has a ton of playoff experience already. I'm not convinced he will ever be that dude, but if he's available sign me up.

Across the series, Tatum shot 31.7% from the field with 23 turnovers. He also finished the playoffs with 100 total turnovers, the most any player has recorded in NBA postseason history.
So brutal.

Congrats to the GSW.

Great season from the C's. Totally ran out of gas at the end.

Not sure the Brown/Tatum combo is ever going to crack a Finals series win, but they are young.

It was fun chatting basketball with you guys.

I won't be surprised if it comes out that Tatum was injured in the Heat series (something worse than a stinger). The guy had 40+ against Giannis in a do or die playoff game.

That being said, the Celtics need an actual point guard that can handle the ball and not turn it over 15+ times a game.
