The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[chao7]

The two games the 76ers won Harden had two of his best playoff games ever. If I was trying to predict the series, that means two out of the next three he has to do that again.

I'm still confident Cs are winning the series

I get not calling a timeout, but you gotta be decisive from the start of the play.

Tatum had no idea what he wanted to do.

Thats exactly why you call a timeout. To have a set play to be more decisive.

When Smart takes back to back game winners while you have timeouts left during the end of regulation and OT. Missed opportunities to draw up something better there.

 

[aepps20]

Joe Maz is always talking about holding timeouts for when you need them... Doesn't use it.

He's not a good coach. He could be in the future but he has work to do

I see this being a game 7 series if both teams continue to play this way.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

He should post up more but he’s struggled passing out of doubles. Part of the reason why he’s been facing up at the middle a lot more.

He should post up more for sure. He got doubled on that final possession and almost bobbled the pass to Harden out of the double team but he made it count

Tatum gotta stop idolizing Kobe. Hurting his game.

Ayeeeee

 

[gaiiige]

It’s sad that Philly is relying on Harden when you have the MVP… Harden carried both wins.

they don’t call him Big Game James for nothing man

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Nah nothing to be ok about with that. You’re losing by 1. It’s not tied or a lead. Draw up your best play and not only make sure you get it off, make sure you can do something else if it doesn’t work.

Awful coaching when it matters and it’s arguably cost them 2 games.

Ime woulda called timeout

 

[tomdiginson]

Tatum gotta stop idolizing Kobe. Hurting his game.

He not from that cloth. To be like Kobe, means you have to be like Jordan. It's not close.

 

[blakep267]

Celtics don’t know how to close out. Both times tatum should’ve just taken it up instead of kicking it out

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Nobody calls him that.

That's James Worthy.

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

Good vibes from HardHIM today.

The people needed that.

 

[B Sox]

Tatum gotta stop idolizing Kobe. Hurting his game.

Wouldn’t that mean he would’ve taken the shots and not passed?

[Moheezy]

This game was too steep. I need to take a nap.

 

[dasitmane]

Call timeout and start the action with smart instead of Tatum running it

 

[nomadicsole21]

Only way not justifying a timeout to me is if your team scored like 6 points straight to tie the game with last possession. Aint no way you should not call a timeout down 1.

 

[addict4sneakers]

shout out to the Celtics fighting back. Setting me up for the 6 pack on prize picks

 

[antidope]

Ime woulda called timeout

Especially after what you saw happen in Q4. Have some sense.

 

[Moheezy]

Harden turned Dr J Muslim.

 

[ballinsam23]

Wouldn’t that mean he would’ve taken the shots and not passed?

Would you rather Tatum take a bad shot or Marcus Smart an open one to win the game

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Sorry but that moniker belongs to
