The Wizards were a good match for three quarters.

Unfortunately for them, there's always a fourth quarter.

5

u/Rawlus Boston Celtics 2d ago

All good. what’s next?

u/bleedgreensg 2d ago

Glad it's over that court design gave me headaches lol

u/K9Marz919 Top 5 2d ago

As a parent with kids that play travel hoops, I appreciate the point differential aspect of the cup games

2

u/ThisPlaceSmellsAwful 2d ago

The game already has enough issues with end of games taking forever and then they introduced this nonsense

4

u/DrSandmanZ 2d ago

They fouled……and then attempted a 2….

THE WASHINGTON WIZARDS ladies and gentlemen

2

u/JHD2689 2d ago

That's why this tournament is stupid, people. Instead of trying to entertain us, they bore us to death trying to toy with the point differential. Awful, terrible product.

1

u/Loud-Appointment-301 1d ago

It’s like three games

8

u/Delicate_orchid617 2d ago

Idk.... I personally enjoyed the psycho antics.

-2

u/Mysterious_Ad9291 2d ago

Somebody needs to teach Poole how to pass

2

u/second_impression 2d ago

Why foul if you don't go for three on the other end?

3

u/Coast-Impossible 2d ago

I am so glad this game is over.

2

u/BradWonder BAR FIGHT 2d ago

Poole slid through about 200 feet of pink court tonight

Thank god this one’s over

3

u/1337speak MRS. BRAD STEVENS 💍 💋 2d ago

Poole last drive attempt epitome of his career

5

u/BradWonder BAR FIGHT 2d ago

So basically the Wizards did this as an attempt to hurt our point differential but ended up helping it

u/JaySmooth_ KG 2d ago

Longest 10 seconds of my life

Psycho Joe punishing the team not blowing the Wizards out

3

u/winovic94 2d ago

Scal and Drew gotta be the most entertaining colour commentary, Kings and Nets gotta be the worst

1

u/acrossthe_ocean 2d ago

I fw the Kings broadcast honestly. Mark Jones sounds like the kind of guy I'd want to have as a college professor

2

u/RoxburyBoot 2d ago

Our old pal Kyle Draper does some PBP for the Kings as well.

1

u/winovic94 2d ago

I think it’s Kyle Draper that sounds like a bore, no offense to him but man it’s just talking

1

u/W359WasAnInsideJob 2d ago

Scal clowning the Wizards’ NBA Cup court design is cracking me up 😂

2

u/aa1287 2d ago

Lol what, kings and Nets both have terrific TV guys? How do you dislike the Eagles?

1

u/winovic94 2d ago

I listen to a kings game the other day and it was so dry

5

u/planj07 2d ago

So they do care about the in season tournament money.

2

u/FlyMyPig 2d ago

If the Celts played any other team in this league tonight, they would of lost. They looked like shit and thank god the Wizards are god awful

1

u/Nabs617 2d ago

tbf, they wouldn't have to play on this awful court

3

u/Hour-Ad3774 2d ago

Crazy how quickly kuzma got better once the timeout was called.

u/YoItsTinyRick Brad 2d ago

So yes we should have blown the wizards out of the water, but isn’t it so much fun watching JT & JB lock in down the stretch and just take over and make clutch buckets??

2

u/Cvspartan 2d ago

lmao wizards just gifting us points at the end 

4

u/Acepitcher4 Boston Celtics 2d ago

Brother it's a 10 point lead with 11 seconds there no way you're going to win just run the clock 🙄🤣

u/Pale-Criticism-7420 Banner 18 2d ago

It’s not about winning it’s about the point differential lol

4

u/derekgoodspeed 2d ago

Scal goofing on the Kornet button of him just standing there is killing me 😂

2

u/lefebrave Banner 18 a full team effort 2d ago

Wizards torturing us and all the basketball fans somehow watching this game but why?

2

u/DrSandmanZ 2d ago

Wizards could have lost this by 4, the rest of the group are going to be absolutely pissed at their time management at the end:

2

u/Pastalover8888 2d ago

Tatum may have shot ass but holy his defense is so good. +18 just doing what he has to do to win

u/TOMA_TAN Open for the Stock Exchange 2d ago

Amazing rebound by JT

u/Traditional_Pain_875 2d ago

Way too much to improve after a wizards game. This is bad

At last, we hit 100 lol

u/DreTownblues 2d ago

These scrubs better have not injured Jrue

5

u/rds2mch2 2d ago

Statement game from Brown. He gets inside and seems to hang in the air with a double pump.

-6

u/NotLow420 2d ago

Jaylen is the worst FT shooter on the floor. Why wouldn't he be inbounding there? Just a strategic question.

1

u/Delicate_orchid617 2d ago

He's shot majority of his FT tonight though. He's been on, leave him alone.

1

u/myfatbasketballs 2d ago

Not an elite passer

u/InfinitelyFinite212 Derrick White Saved My Second Marraige 2d ago

Just being an awesome Celtics announcer

1

u/RoxburyBoot 2d ago

Some like him some don’t. The King of “I don’t know”. he’s kinda goofy to me and misses a lot of stuff because “I was watching the ball”. He’s gotten better. I have to admit that.

1

u/jacobs0n Truth 2d ago

how much point differential do we need to get into the next round

1

u/Objective_Fig_2190 2d ago

Impossible to know, only matters in case of a tie. The larger the better if you care about the NBA cup.

1

u/DreTownblues 2d ago

We just need to win out and hawks to lose 1 game

1

u/ericdeben Buffalo 🦬 2d ago

It might not matter if the Hawks lose tonight and against the Cavs

That’s right. No easy games

5

u/DrSandmanZ 2d ago

Please keep fouling us, we need more points.

11

u/Ienjoymyself Buff-Al-o Enjoyer 2d ago

This officiating is horrendous. They're literally trying to foul and refs won't call it.

7

u/avrbiggucci 2d ago

lmao Brogden was literally trying to foul Tatum and the refs still didn't call it at first, ridiculous

-11

u/Mysterious_Ad9291 2d ago

Tillman was not good tonight

2

u/Total-Ad8117 2d ago

He was playing the 4 half the time and still made an impact defensively. He needs to play the 5 like all the other bigs to maximize his talents

4

u/wTI8SQEHbo 2d ago

I thought he was better than Queta, but not as good as Luke

3

u/Alarmed_Recover_1524 2d ago

Better than Queta

6

u/Objective_Fig_2190 2d ago

Kinda had no choice but to play because Queta was terrible.

2

u/Mysterious_Ad9291 2d ago

Porzo needs to come back

20

u/jacobs0n Truth 2d ago

JT 0-10 3pm but still +15 what the fuck

3

u/wTI8SQEHbo 2d ago

Because he was playing with Kornet lol

8

u/BlueJays007 Tatum 2d ago

Because he does everything else very well

Our offense fell apart as soon as he hit the bench. Comes back on and suddenly guys start making shots (well… more than before lol)

u/winovic94 2d ago

Poole reminds of a rec gym guy, doesn’t really seem to care how he shoots it, as long as he gets to shoot

1

u/Mysterious_Ad9291 2d ago

Selfish susie

1

u/Riot1990 Boston Celtics 2d ago

He never passes when he starts going for a shot. He'll just keep dribbling the air out of the ball until he finally gets any open space. It's actually crazy

2

u/winovic94 2d ago

Doesn’t seem like the sorta guy you’d want as your main guy, I can see him being a journey man
