Celtics (0-0) at Warriors (0-0) The Finals Game #1 6/2/22

Back to PP here, Ime has some timeouts to burn

[RPGenerate]

Honestly, it feels like we should have just rode Pritchard/White to finish the game. They were so good together.

I actually love Ime taking these timeouts. Don't let GSW back in it, come up with good plays and settle it down. NO TURNOVERS please

This game shows me how Heat's defense was FANTASTIC. The Cs are playing a very good defensive team now but its offense looks way different from against the Heat because of the level of competition against.

Spoelstra is a really good defensive mind. Always comes up with frustrating schemes in the playoffs

FINISH THEM

DO NOT LET THEM OFF THE MAT

Payton was solid.

Should've played him until the end.

[Redz]

Payton was solid.

Fearless

Man I wish he got that last one!

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Ugh another timeout.  Just give the warriors  a break why don’t ya

If we don’t take them before 3 minutes we lose them, might as well take the opportunity to draw something up

[slamtheking]

need to keep up the defensive effort -- paying off with GSW struggling now

[Chief]

I love Ime calling these timeouts.

Agreed.

[CelticsBR]

I don't get those timeouts Ime is taking. Are we a much better offense with him as the coach at ATO plays? I feel it may break guy's rythm

SMMMAAAHHHHTTTTTT!

jt has received the star status since his rookie year. time for ime to shock the system and sit him. send a strong message: alleged superstar or not, if you don’t come to play in the finals, you don’t play. give the next man up a shot. maybe that will get mr. tatum out of his head.

This is an overreaction. His shot isn't falling, but he has 9 assists.

and 17% fg. he’s killing us out there.

He is, but his passing and presence is still huge for our offence tonight. Him simply being on the court makes him the focal offence for the Warriors defence - hence, Brown / White / Smart can operate in single coverage, often against weaker defenders.

Gouk, you always get me.

lol, he has no “presence” tonight.

This is just a clueless statement. If you can't see that he is clearly the focal point of Golden State's defence then I don't know what to tell you, besides open your eyes.

he started the game as the focal point but they stopped keying on him and doubling him a while ago. he’s a non-factor at this point. hopefully, he turns it around.
