Just a prediction to file away.
NBA Opening Night 2026-27?
Celtics at Knicks
With quite possibly a long ceremony happening before the game...
@2old2twiz I’d say congrats but this same team is now down 0-2 in the finals so beating an injury riddled Thunder team doesn’t really look as improbable as I once thought.
A bad finals “clutch performance” is doing what Chet did in G7 and go completely quiet. Wemby did what I would want any superstar player to do which is “empty the clip” so to speak and try to take over.
Every star player in the league is doing the same thing Wemby has done in the clutch. If the outcomes were reversed and Brunson was still shooting as badly as he is now he’d be criticized to no end even though he’s doing what he should be doing which is taking 25-30 shots.
I don’t like how people are calling wemby out for his performances down the stretch of both games. At least he’s willing to tell the team “I’m taking over please get out of the way” he’s taking the shots he’s not standing in the corner wanting nothing to do with the possession.
@SleeperCeltics@TA1297 In simple terms it was being overly committed to the Lithuanian and this year not being committed enough to the youth and athleticism on the roster and continuing to play Hauser
The rest of his team was doing literally nothing and his coach benched his only teammate with a pulse. He HAD to demand the ball and take those shots it’s the fucking finals!!
@Sniperbula33@TA1297 And then it’s gonna be “the spurs/Knicks could win the next 2 titles look at their roster look how their setup for the next x amount of years” and then it’ll be the fucking Mavs and Wizards in the finals next year lmao
