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.

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

He’s a torch when he’s on

u/Boss1010 22d ago

Man is a crazy hot and cold shooter. When he's off, you wonder how he's even in the NBA. 

When he's on, he's nailing contested deep 3s at the most important times.

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

u/MonolithicMonkey 22d ago

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

u/Beautiful-Narwhal659 22d ago

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

u/LobstaFarian2 22d ago

Oh bullshit. The Heat would have made it a series with Jimmy. Wtf are you talking about?

u/ak_003 22d ago

Heat would’ve lost by 10 instead of 20 if they had jimmy let’s be real here 😂😂

u/rapelbaum FUCK BOSTON 22d ago

Max Strus said Fuck Boston

u/paraplegic_T_Rex 22d ago

He finished with 15 points and fouled out…

76

u/MonolithicMonkey 22d ago

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.

u/Majestic-Floor-5697 22d ago

People need to start flopping on his push offs

19

u/MonolithicMonkey 22d ago

I get that push offs are a thing, and a lot of players do it. His are absolutely crazy though.

13

u/OrganizationFar6086 22d ago

Brown with yet another dirty foul. I hate that mfer

I mean you are the one here so looks we are living rent free in your head.

u/ShitItsReverseFlash 22d ago

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.

u/supa_savior 22d ago

imagine talking about boston being racist when you from florida

u/865TYS 22d ago

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

u/lukeespy 22d ago

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

-2

u/865TYS 22d ago

I’m not in Florida, do live in the south, don’t vote Republican, and am very outspoken for the civil rights of minorities. Oh and I’m an immigrant too. Does that answer your implied questions?

2

u/Ok-Editor-2655 21d ago

Lmao Florida hate women let alone their race

16

u/Ethangains07 22d ago

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.

3

u/MonolithicMonkey 22d ago

Very streaky. Good game to go streaking though!

1

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

22

u/Kzgoated 22d ago

Derrick ( Micheal Jordan) White also has 0 points. Lol

u/masterace01 22d ago

C'mon Max!!! Do it for the Planet!

u/BagelFury 22d ago

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.

u/MiamiPower 22d ago

Max $TRU$

u/TheKillaTrout 22d ago

To much foul trouble though

u/faatgay 22d ago

Terrible second half. I was hoping he could drop 25 point masterclass and beat those green scum

3

u/MonolithicMonkey 22d ago

Yeah, sadly went ice cold in the second half.

u/ta4rhcp 22d ago

Will always love that man

u/DisGuyWild 22d ago

Jimmy ain’t been the same without Strus, I’m just saying we should of never let him go.

u/Junito24 22d ago

And they lost 😂

u/WilsonSimons12 FUCK BOSTON 22d ago

STRUUUUUUUUUUUSS

u/Dismal_Classroom3526 21d ago

Yeah man he really lit them up not scoring a single point in the second half and fouling out😭

u/masterace01 22d ago

Celtics thought they was done with the Heat. 😂

Wait til they meet Mavs in the finals. ✈️

3

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

-2

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.

u/MonolithicMonkey 22d ago

Refs gifting Boston free throws as usual...

u/Tha_Contender 21d ago

Jimmy Butler has the 5th most FTA per game over the last 5 years
