I've seen teams go 0-2 in the finals, just to win 4-2 B)

gl.


Just as recently as 2022 a team down 1-2 ended up winning the series

Almost as bad as giannis numbers in the 2nd round last time he played against us

Only difference is, giannis was losing


Giannis put up 44/20/6 and lost in the 2nd round to Boston, Middleton was out for the series

He put up woeful shooting efficiency as well, turned the ball over a heap, and got cooked by Tatum and Horford in particular

Game 6 - 14/30 FG and 14/15 at the FT line, 6 assists to 6 turnovers

Offensive options Giannis #1 Jrue #2 and Lopez #3?

Here are the top 5 options for Boston; Tatum, Brown, KP, White, Jrue

Here were the top 5 options for Milwaukee: Giannis, Jrue, Lopez, Pat C, and Portis

24% from 3 as a team in G6 up 3-2, many of the 3s missed were not tight defense

Will Kidd finally change his game plan?

After game 1, he said that JB is the Celtics best player.

For some reason, he kept his same defensive approach. Put his best defender(Jones) on Tatum and continued to double and collapse Tatum once he began his drives.
That didn't work well and Jrue ended up getting 5 uncontested layups off Tatum feeds inside the restricted area lmao.

Will Kidd finally shift his defense and put Derrick Jones on Jaylen, double and collapse defense? All while Tatum gets to walk up the court, find a spot he wants to play 1v1 vs. Luka or PJ?

Come on Kidd. Shows us you really mean it.....I really want to see Tatum get the Brown treatment.

Lmao...

Tatum gets a little hint of what other all-nba players get from the opposing defense and proceeds to shoot 30%. Kinda funny tbh. Gives you an idea of what this guy would do if he wasn't on a stacked team (yikes). Nobody else is shooting like that and still winning. Nobody.

Anyways, the finals are too bright for this guy. In 8 career finals games he's shooting 34%. He has shot 40% or better in just 2 of those 8 games. The only reason he's not getting crucified now like he did last time is because his teammates are carrying.

90% of that answer is irrelevant to me, but at least you're finally acknowledging how defenses are focusing on Tatum and not Jaylen.

You think Tatum has it easy? You're forgetting how easy Brown has it :lol:
