PP-led units can beat either of these teams. Save our top 6 for the ECF.

Honestly, it would be hilarious if Joe started PP, Hauser, Kornet, Svi and Brissett in the first game.

All game planning out the window for the opposition and a big **** you to them.

Of course if it backfired then Joe should just resign, but it would be amazing still. :lol:

I wouldn't mind if they both lose. Cs just play one of Hawks/Bulls.

Which is why it’s a good thing that this Celtics team is incredibly different, and far better equipped to smoke them.

Which to steal a Mike Tyson line "Everybody has a plan until they get hit for the first time" or in the Celtics case Its all smoke till the opponent start raining threes on them from scrubs and they can't make their own.

ATL or Chi don’t have that extra boost come playoff time. Heat will be coming to Boston on Sunday unless they pull this off

It's all about Boston and their mentality. It's about their ability to stay calm, play smart, execute, trust each other and defend at a high level.

If they do that with their talent and stay healthy, opposition won't matter until maybe Denver.

Hey Tatum did promise at the beginning of the season he would come off the bench one game this year. Mightiest well make it happen.

This is the way it is suppose to be. Will be nice to do the Miami thing early and let somebody else wear out NYK
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]
