And yes, hedging is literally the simple of simple basketball strategy defending a p&r or p&p against good ball handlers/shooters who are killing you. It's difficult when the big is capable because of the roll, but that's where proper rotation comes in from the help defense.

This guy mocking the simplest form of basketball defense like it's that complicated.

Celtics more likely to be a 1 and done or dynasty?

KG / Pierce / Allen / Rondo only won 1, it's very difficult to be a dynasty in modern NBA

I think its possible for the Celtics to become a dynasty, especially if Stevens continues to make savvy moves. Watch him replace Horford's minutes with someone just as good... that'd annoy me

Talking like they've won a little early here. Let's see them win game 3 in Dallas, then we can assume victory for them.

Dallas is a different beast at home.

Oh my sweet summer children

A series doesnt start until the road team wins a home game

its a colossal choke if they do lose. on par with 2011 / 2016

It'll be far worse
Celtics had a cupcake run and have a massive matchup advantage in the Finals

Neither 2011 nor 2016 had either

This is true. But Dallas can still make it interesting. Especially if porzingis is out.

Oh, 1 and done and that 1 might not even be this year

DM is right, Dallas just has to take care of business at home and the series is back to
Best in the world vs. a screener, rebounder and passer who is shooting his team out of the game.

The worst career FG% in finals history

There's no way a guy like that can win back to back....

I mean, if you ask me, it'll be pathetic if the best in the world loses to such a shooting performance

I really don't know what to think of other stars around the league if they allow a screener to win 2

I know exactly what hedging is. U asked for what it was so I quickly googled to save me typing it. I didn’t even try to hide it, if I did, I would have typed in the exact same language I always use (saying carn a lot)

Regardless of that, how would Al Horford hedging help? U just said some random shit that u thought was high IQ but it would be even worse for us than Al accepting the switch lol

Celtics haven’t lost on the road yet this entire off season.

I do think they win game 3 though, they literally cannot afford to drop it. Or it’s as good as over. They should come out firing.
