2024 NBA Playoffs: East Semifinals: #1 Boston Celtics vs #4 Cleveland Cavaliers (BOS WINS 4-1)

Celtics likely have another series to get their act together. Denver has woken up it seems. Celtics playing like this won't beat that team.

I'm sure they'll be fine. Boston is just pacing themselves because they have no reason for exertion.

Yeah but it's going to be like playing an rpg where your character is at level 5 then the Finals hit and you get the FInal Boss level 99, and you haven't even upgraded your armor or sword once.

the east rolling out the red carpet for celtics. miami without rozier and butler is chicago/atlanta level bad. cleveland without allen mitchell for the last 3 games is even worse. why don't celtics just rest brown or tatum ?

Cause Cavs would beat them if they rested Brown or Tatum.

cavs are without allen, mitchell, levert. and they beat boston without brown ? no

[Michael Jackson]

Alex Caruso is taller than Charles Barkley?

Probably now he is (as Barkley has aged he has shrunk).

Likely always. I think Barkley was listed at 6’6” but actually measured 6’4”. I think AC is 6’5”

I love this analogy

No they wouldn’t.

People **** on the Celtics like they weren’t 14 games clear of the rest of the East.

Congrats, you won a game and kept it close for a half down some guys, but Celtics were winning this series with the Cavs healthy or not.

You are proving my point. They are barely leading a depleted Cavs team.

He's not THAT old.

Did Draymond Green say that Horford won’t be able to get away with drop coverage when he plays Brunson in the next round lol?

To be fair with the Celtics, they are really not motivated playing hard playing a play-in quality team like the Cavs-- with our without Mitchell, this was a mismatch all over.

Caruso is old

Caruso probably looked old at 17 with that bald ass head.

Just checked and he actually had hair then, nm.

Y’all are seething.

Tons of Celtic fans don't even like this team. Why should we?

60's isn't old?

[The Corey's]

Name please.

I mean, I just proved "every Cavs fan" does not believe the Cavs would have won it all if not for injuries. It's not a high bar to at least find one or save your flames for the next fan base perhaps?

I'm not in the business of targeting users. Read through the thread.

Also don't take it so literal friend. Only the delusional thought the Cavs could win this series. Healthy or otherwise.

Just good nature fun to make fun of those who went so hard on the take know seeing how the series unfolded.

I have been reading this thread, and I have no clue who you're trying to troll here.

You haven't because I already had a back and forth with someone over the Cavs healthy and their ability to push this to the bring if healthy.

[ArksNetsSince99]

What a sequence, Boston playing while Cavs lying on the floor on 3 possessions

[itrsteve]

Wait, wtf was up with Holiday trying to stand up? They cut to commercial too quick.

I'm sure they learned from the last Finals they played in. That was a valuable experience.

Cavs sitting out Mitchell and Levert in an elimination game is concerning. Either the cavs quit or Mitchell quit. I am sure if they thought they could win this series, they would be playing
