Up 21 with 6:44 and Jimmy Fucking Butler. Should be over right?

Right?

RIGHT?

This ain't working for Boston.

**EWG** · 05-29-2023, 08:35 PM

Smart, Brown and Tatum 15-45 while it mattered. May get some garbage buckets now.

**The SnowShow** · 05-29-2023, 08:39 PM

Oh well. I’m all in on Denver now.

It was hard for the Celtics to overcome All NBA first teamer Caleb Martin.

Ha.

They seem kinda broken. They did great when the pressure was off cause they were definitely losing the series. And then when there was hope and the pressure came back they imploded again.

I only have one thing to say: go Nuggets!

**MultiVerse** · 05-29-2023, 09:00 PM

Jimmy is good but ECF Caleb is the best.

**The Reverend Floater** · 05-29-2023, 09:02 PM

Looking forward to the finals. I like the Nugs as a team (gotta support WC brethren) but I do love JMFB so much.

I like Jimmy Buckets but not as much as I like Jokic, Murray, Mike Malone and the future NBA champion Denver Nuggets! Nuggets in 5.

But I'd be interested to hear if Celtic fans think Mazzulla did enough to be bought back next season? After game 3 of the ECF, I thought he'd be gone for sure, but did the Celtics forcing a game 7 do enough to give him another year? And do they give jaylen brown the max?

Butterfingers Brown didn't help his cause with brutal shooting from 3 last 2 games and 8 turnovers .

Mazzulla really bothered me with some of his moves and non moves, but I think he comes back.

And Brown has been exposed the last 2 years, but they have no choice but to give him the max. But maybe they do consider trading him

Perfectly said.

I’m not a Cs fan but I think they have to look at trading him to get a bigger 4/5. The overlap of skill sets between JB and JT is too big and they don’t gain much from forcing switches.

I agree with the fucking Dukie. Keep Brown and Tatum. Like JWill said, let Brogdon run point. Trade Smart for a 4.

Creates much better offense with an actual point guard calmly running things (who also shoots near the league leading 3pt percentage) and give up little on defense. Gets you a 2 way big too.

Run it back for a few years.

**Danno** · 05-30-2023, 09:21 AM

Brown shot 7 of 43 (16.2 percent) from deep in this series while Tatum was 11 of 47 (23.4 percent). Pretty fucking hard to beat a good team when your 2 stars shoot like that. Fuck.
