I knew that Boston wasn't winning last night when Smart threw the ball to a Golden State player, and then stood there and pouted instead of getting back on defense while Golden State slam dunked it on a fast break.

Tatum was a complete no-show in game 1 and 6 and needed to put up a ton of shots to get points in the other 4 games. Brown wasn't great either but Tatum gets mentioned as a top 10 player in the league without hesitation by many. He looked like a pretender when it mattered most.

If I’m Lillard, I’m trying to get to Miami. I think he and Butler would bring a lot of pain to the East.

Ultimately it was a grave mistake on the Bucks part. You should never concede the opportunity for home court at any point and it came back to haunt them in the game 7 vs the Celts.

I get the Bucks were having nightmares about last season's series against the Nets, but this year's version just wasn't that good. They would have beaten them the same way the Celts dismantled the Nets.

The nets Celts series was closer than most will remember it.

Margin of victory:

1
7
6
4

Only one game decided by more than 2 possessions.

I'm kinda surprised Udoka hasn't gotten heat for putting in scrubs and giving up with over a minute left. Sure they were down 13 but it's the Finals and who knows what could happen, T-MAC once scored 13 in the last 35 seconds of a game.

When you use the word “dismantle” as my guy P did it implies that it wasn’t close. Well that was not the case, it was a very competitive series that swung on a handful at most of missed or made baskets.

Boston would have to give up a combo of Smart, Brown, and a couple of 1st to get Dame, probably.

They're not giving all that up.


I don't think Dame is worth all of that TBH. Brown is an all-star who hasn't even peaked yet.

The problem with having Tatum, Smart, and Brown on The same team is they can not dribble.

My suggesting Brown for Beal atleast gives you a ball handler. I would want to keep Smart and Williams because they are so cheap.

Best move could be to slide Smart to SG, Brown to SF, Tatum to PF and use that massive trade exception to go get Derrick Rose or Malik Beasley
