Giannis had a lower back contusion, idk the exact parameters, could be mild could be severe, but I remember him playing gingerly as fuck. I know you’re just trolling trying to create a narrative, but depending on the severity/location not something you rly want to fuck around with


50/50 but my point is, 1st round, losing Giannis for the first couple games but then getting him back & losing what? 2-3 straight with him? Unacceptable & it IS a failure.

Giannis missed like 3/4 of 1 game they lost and a 2nd game they lost. Playing with a back contusion in the other games, Middleton was kinda cookin but it was clear he needed more time to get right too.

IDK with Giannis and Middleton playing a step slow you cant expect Jrue to carry it. Butler absolutely murdered Jrue btw, one of the biggest coaching failures on Buds part was never taking Jrue off Butler and letting Wes defend him.

Once Giannis had the back contusion I was sure that they were done knowing that Middleton was also getting back up to par.

Give credit to the role players of Miami also. They shot terribly from 3 all year and then suddenly scorching from 3. Vincent and Strus stepped up big time. Butler was playing his best ball of that whole playoff run too.

The Celtics or Heat might come out of this with Holiday. I’d be very annoyed by either outcome ☹️ hopefully the Clippers push their chips in for their last Kawhi + PG13 run instead




If Celtics get Jrue,

#1 holiday fan my whole life.

I could definitely see Stevens wanting to replace Smart and add insurance for Brogdon. It’s going to cost the Celtics either a pick cache or Williams. Nobody wants Horford at this point. Gotta keep White, the Jays, and KP. Nobody wanted Brogdon when Boston dangled him once the medical report came back

I think losing to the Lakers in the play offs is a bigger L since GSW was fully stacked.
