Poor Derrick’s gonna remain ring-less it looks like. Steph Curry has all but sealed this chip for GS. And Tatum looks like the most overrated star player in the league right now. Boston’s offense just ain’t good enough.
The accountability is there on the Boston site but this is the White thread.

The warriors are very very beatable. Boston just kills themselves to be honest
Agreed
Tatum struggling like crazy and it is still a tied series
Warriors remind me of the ‘04 Lakers. That Lakers team wasn’t that good but their mystique and some luck carried them to the finals. I felt the Lakers won a bunch of playoff games that year based on teams being scared of what they once used to be not who they actually are. Celtics I feel at times play scared against the Warriors. This was evident in the 4 quarter of game 4 when they couldn’t score for long stretches.
Curry is obviously, in my view, still the best player in this series. It’s just the drop off of Klay and Green is very noticeable.
Boston reminds me of that young buck team knocking at the door, but clearly has wobbly knees. The Bucks had it last year too. the first Spurs championship team had it. It ain’t always pretty and their are many mistakes they have to survive to win it all.
If they are able to win this year, though, they’ll definitely take a massive confidence leap for years to come (much like Giannis and those guys did this year).
Shaq was the best player in the '04 series against the Pistons. He had even one game which was game 4 where he got 36 points on 76 percent shooting from the field. Pistons were able to weather Shaq's dominant games in that series while baiting Kobe to play stupid and not with the team. I felt the Pistons were all at the perfect age at the time. They had the experience while all of them were just at the start of their primes.
The problem with Boston I feel is they just don't have the maturity to weather the storm with Curry much like the Piston's did with Shaq. Piston's weren't in awe of Shaq and Kobe and that helped a lot in dealing with those 2 guys. The Pistons knew when to make the right plays even when Shaq was going off they didn't get phased. Celtics are still a very young team despite them having playoff experience. I feel at times they are in awe of Steph and get phased by him which causes them to panic in the sense they don't make the right plays in crunch time like what happened in the 4th quarter of game 4.
He's literally being a 5th man on a finals team, right now.
Dude, the Celtics, with White on the floor, are 2-2 on the NBA finals, while we are all watching from home. I think the Celtics and White are doing pretty damn well for themselves out there, tbh.
Maybe White will have a good game tonight. He hasn't been playing well in the finals outside of game 1.Dude, the Celtics, with White on the floor, are 2-2 on the NBA finals, while we are all watching from home. I think the Celtics and White are doing pretty damn well for themselves out there, tbh.
It's better for the Spurs if White helps Boston win a le.
From the Celtic board.
Some were ok with the trade some were not.
Simply awful! Brad doesn't get it. You need elite 3 point shooters to win in the NBA. I haven't carefully compared the stat sheet - but from what I've read, White's 3pt stat is not impressive.
This is is the kind of trade that happens when you fall in love with a player. Brad and Ime, PLEASE-PLEASE-PLEASE never deal with the Spurs again! Their brain trust is far greater than your own.
He has already helped plenty on getting them where they are. If the Celtics don't win the championship, it won't be because White didn't "help", tbh.
Really? I see Robert Williams, Jaylen Brown, Tatum, Horford, Marcus Smart all in front of him in importance. I see him as more as less equal to Grant Williams.
Agreed he's not the star. He is high end role player whatever they get from his is a plus. It really comes down to Tatum and Brown since they are the stars of the team.
I said 5th, I should have said 4th. White, in these finals, is averaging 30 mpg, that ranks 4th in the Celtics ahead of Robert Williams (7 more minutes per game), Grant Williams (13 more minutes per game) and even Al Horford.

Fair point. In these Finals, I'm guessing they are having to go small.
The assets the Spurs will get out of the trade might not be very good either.
It was a good trade for the Spurs to move on from White. He wasn't good enough to count on as one of your better players.
It's been almost all the playoffs, tbh.
D white sucks tonite
Udoka with the quick hook on White in 3Q. Pop would leave him out there for 40 minutes and say players have to play better to win this series.
Preach
Boston has killed themselves with sloppy play and turnovers at the worst times, including by their top 2 players
Yes sir. Derrick “Don’t look at me” White. 1 point in a very, very important game 5.
Udoka going full Thibs and playing his players too much. Tatum and Brown looked so tired in the fourth. Gotta rest them a couple minutes during the half.
Celtics lost the series jacking so many threes at the end of Game 4. What's with GSW and baiting teams into relentlessly jacking up frmo distance?
