NBA Playoffs 24

I need one more point from him.

[pdub]

And we got it.

I think this game gets Tatum MVP.

CHAMPS!!!!

Fireworks in my hood!!

Brad Stevens deserves a TON of this credit.

[pdub]

Whoa Jaylen Brown!!!
Thanks again!!!

[pdub]

Al Horford finally gets his ring.
His contract is for one more year—does he run it back or go out a for sure champ?

I was thinking he'd retire, but I guess I didn't realize he had 1 year left on his deal.

I think he's still got plenty in the tank to run it back. He'd turn 39 during the playoffs next year.

Celtics could really use him.
Porzingis is likely to miss games again next season.

I would like to see the final voting. When you told me it was 11 people who vote on it, I realized it wouldn't/couldn't be a tie. If it was 10 or 12, I wouldn't have been surprised if both he and Brown won it.

CHAMPS!!!!

Congratulations pdub! Hell of a run for Celtics fans.

Brown
20.8 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 5 APG, 1.6 SPG, 44% FG, 23.5 3FG%.

Tatum
22.2 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 7.2 APG, 1 SPG, 38.8% FG, 26.3 3FG%.

Those stats, in a vacuum, point to Tatum.
Here's the difference for me though ( and may have been for voters ) - Brown was better in the 2 games that were in doubt and was the largely the difference stopping Dallas's rally in game 3.
He also was matched up on Irving and Luka more than Tatum throughout the series.

Had either of them got it I would not have been shocked.

Thanks Shirls.
Pretty good year for my favorite professional teams ( except that KU basketball got walloped in the 2nd round of the tourney ).

They either really weighted the FG% or they weighted the games that were actually close.

I was good with either. When I turned it off and went to bed, I figured Tatum did enough to get it.

[pdub]

5% FG is significant but I don't know if it's significant enough to ignore the increase in points, rebounds and assists.

I do think Brown had the tougher defensive matchups and was more clutch when it mattered.
