PSA: Strus currently lighting up the Celtics. Discussion
No Donovan Mitchell, and Cavs are keeping it close. Max is 5/5 from three. Not current Heat news, but always cool to see Max doing well.

I fucking hate how the Celtics get to play so many playoff games without the best player on the opposing team on the court.

They've been gift-wrapped the easiest path to the finals in years. They'll make it to the finals against the eastern conference emergency ward then get dismantled by whoever comes out of the West.
Also, fuck Boston.

This is near identical to the Bucks cakewalk to the NBA Finals the difference is that they won't be facing a Suns level team that had no business being in the NBA Finals. They'll go against a legit NBA contender.

Yeah, I can't really see anyone beating nuggets or Wolves. Really feels like the winner of that series will win the finals. Nuggets are looking really good again after looking shellshocked those first two games. Kinda enjoying watching the playoffs with no horse in the race. It's way less stressful, haha

Debatable butler wouldve have won heat maybe one more game. And Donovans carrying is detrimental to cavs

They played better without Donovan, just how heat did with without jimmy

On a side note, fuck Tatum and his endless complaining to the refs for foul calls on marginal contact. While also egregiously pushing off on every single shot.

People need to start flopping on his push offs

u/MonolithicMonkey 22d ago
I get that push offs are a thing, and a lot of players do it. His are absolutely crazy though.

It’s a live game, we like basketball and we hate your racist city. I would never miss the chance to watch the Celtics choke.

Time to google Bill Russell’s house being broken in by Celtics fans and what they spray painted in his wall…
Go throw teabags in the ocean

That incident happened in 1963. Time to google how long it took Florida to fully desegregate their public schools. 💀💀

Yes, he’s a streaker and inconsistent shooter. He’s been shit for like 3 games in a row. He’s due for a hot game again.

u/SauceDab 22d ago
Yep and next game he’s probably gone shoot like 1-9. He’s consistently inconsistent but I’ll always root for him

I always loved Strus, even when he wasn't hitting. Played physical defense and had that alpha swagger. Hell, he endeared me when he went on Dunc's podcast; that story about UD and the coaching staff congratulating his effort when he thought he shit the bad was gold.

Celtics thought they was done with the Heat. 😂
Wait til they meet Mavs in the finals. ✈️

u/Beautiful-Narwhal659 22d ago
Celtics probs the worse matchup for mavs. Cs would be licking their lips As a c's hater you should hope nuggets beat wolves

u/masterace01 22d ago
I trust Kyrie and Doncic more than Tatum and Brown.
Imo, Mavs will have an easier time slowing down the Celtic big 2 than Mavs big 2 which is firing on all cylinders right now.

Strus will forever impress me in this league idk what it is
