He’s gonna get a chance. I think he’s somebody who doesn’t do well with the short leash. Seems like it’s destroyed his confidence. He looks so nervous out there on offense and has become a complete disaster on defense.

I knew Struts could play when he got a cameo with the bulls. Frustrating.

Random stat for Celtics fans: They haven't lost consecutive games that Jayson Tatum played in since January.


They still haven’t.

ESPN has to be super happy with this product 4 games in. Super boring. Nice to see Malika on the set tonight though. Sexy.

Yeah this series is over. If they knew Jimmy was like that would have been better to rest all the aching bodies and try to get right for game 5 but they probably realized their only real chance to win this series was going back to Miami up 3-1. Oh well. Just pathetic all the way around.

I think it'll go 6 or 7, edge to the Celtics. Celtics in 6 or Heat in 7 probably the most obvious predictions. I think both teams will probably trade blowouts/semi-blowouts the first 4 games, whoever hits their 3s wins. The latter part of the series I'd expect to become very defensive, close, hard fought games.

Obviously right with both Celtics wins. Less right with the Heat since they blew 20+ point leads in games 1 and 3 so I can't claim I was exactly right but there's nothing really surprising to me about the wild swings in the series so far.

I'm much less confident about the last sentence now, though.

NBA will do what it takes to split the next two games and then it's anyone's Game 7. Toss up.

Though the Celts’ passing game has stymied many a juggernaut in the past

If you believe this why even watch sports?

It's quite common for the NBA to put team friendly refs in place for a team that's down to help even out the series. Was listening to a sports radio segment recently and it was remarkable how many times this happens - they were looking at a team's won-loss record with certain referees.

I like to watch because I don't believe it's too overhanded and it does not always determine the outcome. Plus, it always seems the refs put away the whistles and let them play in game 7 (kinda happens in hockey too)
