I hate Miami but if they manage to turn this into a legit series against Boston that'll be funny

This Celtics team is so imminently beatable that I'm going to be furious if we don't get the chance to knock them out.

Jrue certainly looking to be in playoff form.

Honestly, Id take a Bucks first round exit if it also came with a Boston first round exit. I don't trust our team and worry about Giannis health so it's an easy trade for me.

As does Grayson in the PHX series, even before he got hurt.

4pts/5 rebounds/2 assists in game 1
3pts/3 rebounds/0 assists in game 2

This. I'm still mentally at peace with this being a lost season if Giannis just can't get his body right, but Boston will never be this unbeatable juggernaut so long as they're a team built around the J's.

Always something about Boston losing that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Love to see it.

And are coached by Mazzulla.

And anchored by Porzingis.

Our fanbase hates a lot but we are right a lot too.

I agree with the Boston "hate". As much as I dislike Herro, I was still rooting for him tonight.

As I've stated before, coaching is very secondary to talent. But there are a few exceptions and Spoelstra is one of them. He can elevate the talent, as can Thibs. Not many others.

I also hate the Knicks, so I'd love for them to go down.

BigO · Post #1673 » by **BigO** » Thu Apr 25, 2024 2:05 am

I think last year, Denver was not going to be denied. This year, like the year Toronto won, it's there for the taking. Damn.

I've always thought, and unfortunately for us, Carlisle is one of those guys too.

I don't really care about media attention, but it should 100% focus on the fact that Boston, at home where they don't lose, with a 100% healthy team, got punked by a Butler-less Miami. Should give pause to any discussion of them as an unbeatable juggernaut.

But of course, let's talk about how Giannis isn't playing and the Bucks are frauds.

jschligs · Post #1676 » by **jschligs** » Thu Apr 25, 2024 2:07 am

So should Boston fire their coach? Or should Tatum ask out?

It's funny because when a Lakers fan came in here after we signed Beasley he said "he's unplayable in the playoffs unless he's on fire" and a lot of agreed with him or ignored him. When we say this about our former players everyone is like "oh, you're putting all of the blame on him." No, I'm just telling you these players fold in the postseason. However, it might be opposite for Dame. If Giannis can come back and stay healthy we have a shot.

Idk Denver looks as good as ever. LA played near perfect games and still lost. I'd take Denver over the field right now.

If by some miracle Boston lost round 1 would they do Brown + Filler for Middleton, Lopez and picks? I'd throw in Green and anyone not named Dame or Giannis that they might want too.
