Your team is struggling to beat the Cavs without Mitchell at the moment and you're acting like they're world beaters. :lol:


My guy. That's not how it works hahahaha.

When teams are hitting their 3s they can beat anyone.


You do know the Celtics usually live by the 3 right?


And when they don't make them they lose. It's how it works lol.

This definitely feels like a LeBron analyzing the Cavs talent without Mitchell.

All these players are playing for a job next season right now. They about to do a BiG 3 in Cleveland if they beat the Celtics today lol

So on one hand you won't accept the Celtics success against the West in the regular season but on the other you will accept that their competition in the east isn't good enough?

The Celtics beat who they play when they play them. What more do you want from them :lol:


I want them to actually look like champions instead of playing down to their competition. If they're struggling this much against a Mitchell-less Cavs, any of the remaining teams out West will make mince meat of them.

They can't be trusted. You only don't see this because your fandom blinds you.


The Celtics do play down to their competition and it's because they have a stupid coach.

The coaching is why they'll lose more than anything.

I'll make one. The Celtics are better than any team in the west.

They'll be fine.


And my guarantee is Porzingis will come up small in the NBA Finals, or get injured yet again.


We don't need him. That's the best part.

Celtics win in 6 vs anyone in the west. Bookmark it.


Well, that's going out on a limb, seeing that Boston has a virtual bye until the Finals while the West teams decimate each other into exhaustion. :lol:

Feel free to do what you like. The Celtics will be there.


Well of course. They're the normal kid in a class of special needs students. That's like bragging that you won a race against a cripple.


Only the nuggets can beat the Celtics.

I'll default to their home record on this. Celtics in 6.

The West has good teams and bad teams like just the East.

Celtics went 0-2 vs Denver
Minnesota 1-1
Oklahoma City 1-1
Dallas 2-0 (one game was before the trade deadline Mavs didn't have Gafford or Washington yet, I'll give you Dallas anyway)

That's just 4-4. These are the potential teams you'll be facing in the Finals, it's not the same dominance as facing Portland.

LeVert trying to do too much too early in the clock.

Mitchell was really missed once Cleveland got the 1-pt lead.

There was no leader.

Mobley is barely involved in the offence even with Mitchell out. He's just a glorified finisher cleaning up garbage points and put backs.

Crazy people projected him as a future #1 / 2 option. Throw that idea out the window.

Nothing more embarrassing than this take.

Nothing says blind rage agenda than the Celtics can't beat any of the teams in the west.
