5/29 - The Last Of Us

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Stan being very kind describing a front running team.

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

Piling on but this is a suck take

No. It's fine. He played awesome. He's a top 5 player, but let's blame it on all the secondary players. Who needs your best player to play well?

 

[8slim]

He's Superman!

Last year was the mysterious bum shoulder that didn't require surgery - but he made sure to stretch it every 30 seconds with a look of pure pain!

I assume there will be blood on his sock at the end of this game. But unlike last time there was a bloody sock, he'll come up small again.

I forget, did he roll his ankle at halftime of game 6? Because that's when things got awfully tight.

Can some mod throw KFP outta this thread? My God.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Who are we getting? Nurse went to god damned Philly

Mazzulla is literally and without question the worst coach in the league. I would take anyone with head coaching experience over him. But he'll be back.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Jaylen and Jimmy were both second team NBA.

It’s a shame because the finals will be unwatchable. Jokić will embarrass Bam and Murray Jimmy

I’ll gladly watch that

 

[scottyno]

I'm trademarking the Tatum Grimace.

Bad game in a big moment? Here comes The Tatum Grimace!

You miss his results in elimination games in his career? Spoiler, they're insanely good

 

[Boston Brawler]

SVG really comparing Herro to Tatum?

 

[gammoseditor]

All things considered I don’t know how they were within 7 with a minute left in the third.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

No. It's fine. He played awesome. He's a top 5 player, but let's blame it on all the secondary players. Who needs your best player to play well?

Dude. I know you’re bummed. We all are. But fuck.

 

[kazuneko]

Honestly, if this is who Caleb Martin actually is then this Miami team is much better than anyone expected. This is seven games of All-Star quality play. His scoring has been elite and he’s very strong defensively. I just hope they give him the MVP of the series. He deserves it..

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

This is championship caliber stupid.

You won't be saying that in the conference finals next year when he's grimacing through a skinned elbow.

 

[bosockboy]

14 turnovers, 17-4 fast break differential, 22% from 3. Not even remotely possible to win with that.

 

[patinorange]

Now 8-35 from three. 22.9%

Tatum being hurt and all that, but 22% is just poor playing.

 

[8slim]

This is just as bad of a take as the guy saying Tatum is faking it

He’s bad because of the space lasers, man. Energy.

 

[shawnrbu]

Game 6 could have been a Top 5 moment in Boston sports history with a win tonight and a finals win.

 

[Ale Xander]

I realize history was made anyway, but I think I’d rather have lost in 5

 

[RedSoxFan]

Mazzulla is literally and without question the worst coach in the league. I would take anyone with head coaching experience over him. But he'll be back.

Surround him with good assistants.

 

[Mooch]

Van Gundy comparing Tatum to Herro is some serious galaxy brain shit.

 

[Bone for your jar]

I genuinely feel bad for Brown.

 

[mikeford]

They should honestly tear this entire thing down and rebuild. Tatum is not a guy to build a winner around and Brown is absolutely not even a solid #2.

 

[BigSoxFan]

All things considered I don’t know how they were within 7 with a minute left in the third.

Derrick White is how. So depressed his shot is now largely forgotten.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Can some mod throw KFP outta this thread? My God.

Seriously. Hopefully people are reporting this shit.

 

[osori]

Honestly, if this is who Caleb Martin actually is then this Miami team is much better than anyone expected. This is seven games of All-Star quality play. His scoring has been elite and he’s very strong defensively. I just hope they give hint the MVP of the series. He deserves it..

He has to be the series MVP. Just unreal.

You have a really weird online persona.

 

[Dave Stapleton]

This is just as bad of a take as the guy saying Tatum is faking it

Yeah

I’ll gladly watch that

I will watch the highlights and collect on my ticket.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Only a million losses at home this playoffs. Fuck off.

 

[soxin6]

It was a valiant effort after being down 3-0. But you just can't lose the first two at home.

It might have been easier on all of us if they got swept like the Lakers

 

[ObstructedView]

lol - Spo stopping the bleeding

 

[TrapperAB]

I’m in a cloud of disappointment … but I think I’m done with this season (go Joker) and to this particular Celtics team. Bye Jaylen.

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

I’m continually shocked that this kind of trolling is allowed to go on. And on. And on.

In a gamethread? You're shocked someone is venting about the best player on the team - one who disappeared in the 2nd half of game 6 - putting up 12 points when his team is down 20 in a gamethread?

Shut up.

 

[8slim]

They should honestly tear this entire thing down and rebuild. Tatum is not a guy to build a winner around and Brown is absolutely not even a solid #2.

Tatum is a superstar. Brown is… not even close. Smart is not a PG.

 

[Jinhocho]

I genuinely feel bad for Brown.

Why?

 

[Ed Hillel]

They should honestly tear this entire thing down and rebuild. Tatum is not a guy to build a winner around and Brown is absolutely not even a solid #2.

Lol gonna ride that KFP train?

 

[Dave Stapleton]

You have a really weird online persona.

Uh oh … Kenny said Myt 3 times

 

[TripleOT]

Tough break having Tatum injure himself to start the game, which made Miami’s zone even more effective with Brown being relied on to initiate.

However, there is enough talent on this team to at least play a competitive game with Tatum hobbled. After this debacle, I’m checking out on this team for at least a few weeks. Their passion tonight didn’t match the passion of their hardcore fans.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Jaylen with 8 FG made, 8 3P FG attempts, 8 rebounds, and 8 turnovers.

Tatum has been famously good in game 7s. Do you watch this team? I mean most recently just a few weeks ago...

 

[Ale Xander]

6 possession game

[Just a bit outside]

Troll.

Shut up.

Fuck off.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

This is true but the rest of the team needs to step up. We’ve played several teams in the playoffs who won without their best on the court.

I can’t imagine it’s easy to just shitcan the entire gameplan and play with Tatum as a decoy after the first minute of the game. They made a run in the third but it’s pretty friggen hard to win a Game 7 when your top 5 player can’t move.

 

[Auger34]

He’s bad because of the space lasers, man. Energy.

The dude has been awful all game. Shit, I’ve been in here saying it. To act like his all-nba selection was some sort of media hype campaign? That’s really fucking stupid.

The guy who was next in line for votes after him? Julius Randle. Who vomited all over himself every game of the playoffs.

 

[luckiestman]

lol - Spo stopping the bleeding

The man is an animal

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Fuck it, I want Jimmy Buckets to win the finals. I hope Lowry and Robinson fail miserably and Butler averages 50.

 

[BaseballJones]

That was road at least and against a very legit team. The stakes made it awful, of course. This is the Bruins bending over against St Louis. These two franchises have been so fucking disappointing at home. Makes no goddamn sense.

Miami is a good team. Really good. They had a TON of injuries this year. They were in the ECF last year. Two years before that they went to the NBA finals. They're really good. Boston should really have won a home game 7 against them, but Miami is legit.

Won't stop Denver from blasting them though.

 

[The Mort Report]

No. It's fine. He played awesome. He's a top 5 player, but let's blame it on all the secondary players. Who needs your best player to play well?

There needs to be a dot put in between you're 18%

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Considering the situation and stakes I can’t muster anything close.

Celtics scoring 79 points to lose game 7 to the Lakers in 2010? Just off the top of my head. After scoring 67 in game 6?

 

[scottyno]

No. It's fine. He played awesome. He's a top 5 player, but let's blame it on all the secondary players. Who needs your best player to play well?

He's literally outplaying Butler this game, and has all series, despite playing on one leg. So apparently Miami doesn't.

 

[benhogan]

We need a sacrifice...

and I have a few suggestions

 

[BaseballJones]

And now Brown gets roasted on D.

 

[Pollard's Spartan Beard]

In a gamethread? You're shocked someone is venting about the best player on the team - one who disappeared in the 2nd half of game 6 - putting up 12 points when his team is down 20 in a gamethread?

Shut up.

We're all disappointed, but you're an embarrassment.

 

[soxin6]

SVG really comparing Herro to Tatum?

SVG sucks, so no surprise he comes out with moronic shit
