Celts Go Supernova, Incinerate Heat! Game 5 Victory Cigar vs MIA 5/1 (BOS WINS 4-1)

Post #101 » by **djFan71** » Thu May 2, 2024 4:33 am

Also, I gotta say I'm a little disoriented that BK_2020 hasn't posted the defensive sequence where Pritchard got lost on the switch and gave up a wide open lane for a Patty Mills layup. My world is slightly off axis. I'm assuming it was at least called out in the game thread?

I kid, but it was pretty much my first thought after "ugh!" when it happened.

While taking the brunt of the Heat defensive attention. He never really forced it, was happy to make the right play and let his teammates score. And played good D as always. We'll need more scoring from him in later rounds and get it (if JB lets him, lol), but he played a low key great series.

100%

I know many Heat fans have checked out early from these blow out games, but I appreciate that we could make the most passionate fans, who stay to the end, utterly miserable.

That’s more like it. White is an absolute stud. Kornet played great!

I was confident the Cs are going to play well in the finals, but with this version of Derrick White, it's game over for the rest of the league.

DWhite magic and JB looking like a smaller Shawn Kemp, Cs are winning a chip this year.

First he wasn't, then he was, and there was no announcement.

Exactly

When he came in, he look poised
Something has changed in his demeanor. Like, he now knows he is 7"2, big strong body and he knows how to use it. Not Shaq yet, but getting there

Anyone listen to the full quote/interview. What does, "maybe put a little MORE attention on myself than I needed to..." mean? Should I be worried?

White is a stud and a genuine good guy
I think he can get a Max deal somewhere, so Brad better lock him long term quickly

On the other hand - the pick swap...

Derrick White is now my all-time favorite basketball player.

What White is doing now is what Marcus Smart tried to do from 2020 to 2023.

The difference is White is just a very good offensive player.

Worked against the depleted Heat squad that would be lucky to win 30 games but Joe will have to think up something better next series, especially if it's Franz and Banchero.

Now let's hope the Magic extend their series to 7 games, so we can rest, adjust and give more time for KP.

Who smokes the big playoff cigar?
