The way I see it, if Tatum didn't turn his ankle at the start, then they would have won the game...what say you? Key player such as Tatum not 100% was a key factor why bos lost.
Nah, they got out-played and out game-planned. Mostly, Miami hit 3s, Boston didn't.

Analytics aside, so many games in today's NBA come down to just this.
TIME TO BRING BACK THE OBAMA CAGES!

@SirJohnDrake Quote Originally Posted by SirJohnDrake: @DeezyAZ81 Nope...sorry I wholeheartedly disagree...again if Tatum didn't get hurt at the start of game, then it's not out of the question that a different outcome would have materialized.

You're only looking at it offensively, you got to look at it defensively too, with Tatum hobbling around it weakened bos defense to the point that it was easy for the heat to get open for all dose 3's they were draining. But of course, offensively it hurt bos too, I mean Tatum uncharacteristically started missing his free throws which he normally makes with ease n so clearly his injury was bothering him to the point he was ineffective offensively as well as defensively which hurt the team so again it was essentially 5 healthy heat players playing against 4 healthy celts players...I rest my case!

Ignore the Heat players injured (Herro & Oladipo) and the bullsh*t finish which came down to sheer luck in game 6 and Celtics are lucky to have even got this far.

The problem with your "case" is that you show no semblance of rationality. If you want to say... "If Tatum doesn't get hurt, it MIGHT have changed the outcome." That's reasonable... I don't really agree, since they lost by 20, and Miami was out-playing them the entire game.
But when you say... "If Tatum doesn't get hurt, they WOULD have won"..... you lose!
I'm willing to entertain rational arguments... and I immediately dismiss all irrational arguments. Something for you to work on in the future.
