Just like last year

Anyways if they play Miami and Butler and Bam do their usual **** to Boston and the random scrubs shoot 3s, like every friggin year vs the Celtics, the Celtics will be going home in round 1. The Celtics best hope of getting out of the east is avoiding Miami at all costs. Miami vs Boston is the absolute worst possible matchup for this bunch. Miami owns Tatum and Brown.

We've beaten Miami in the playoffs.

To be fair, it almost was. :noway:

Just in the wrong direction. I'm still salty that they even let it get to that point.

That is true, Derrick. They're hanging out on RealGM too much lol.

Tatum wrecked the Heat in that series last year lol, people seem to forget that he was averaging 27/10/6 on a 60% TS heading into game 7. And he won EFMVP the year before?

Your Miami fear is soft as hell, my man.

I think it actually means “Tatum - Zero titles.”

Butler had .519 TS% in the ECF last year. Bam was .538. If that's their usual **** please keep it up. (Although to be fair, Butler was creating for his teammates at a high rate and Bam was solid on defense.)

The only thing I regret is it's highly unlikely we beat both the Heat and the Sixers on our way to 16-0.

Or just blow every game out so there's no need for clutch.

If the Celtics go 7-7-6-6 in the playoffs, they will surpass the Warriors for most postseason games in the Brad Stevens era.

Curry will now miss his 6th postseason. Pritchard has yet to miss one in his career.

The comeback was in game 4. The big Leon game was game 2.

in my mind game 4 was Ray Allen's biggest moment as a Celtic.
Leon also took it full court like Barkley (dribbling and dunking) in the G6 obliteration/coronation.

Oh yup, I forgot we won game 2 behind Leon. And then game 4 gave us the 3-1 lead, back when that meant something

Win your home games from here on out and you're champs. It's that simple. Hopefully they take that seriously.
