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

[titlebound1]

If the Knicks are healthy enough (big IF), Knicks will beat Boston. Knicks will outrebound Celtics by 15 in every game. Brunson vs White will be a big key. If Garland didn't play like garbage he would have scored 40 a game...Horford can not protect the paint. Boston lacks the killer mentality needed in my opinion. The fact they let Cavs stay in the game last night with 3 main players out says it all.

Wishful thinking. No one is concerned about the Knicks, even if they're healthy. Although for Boston's sake, I do hope that NY makes it a tough series

Boston is making the finals. That's pretty much a give-in.

If Boston wins the title against whatever West team, and the West team is healthy, nobody will care that they played a graveyard of teams in the east.

If they lose the finals, not only will they get **** for losing the finals, but their path to the finals will become a much bigger deal. They'll probably be the least respected finals team in history.

Who cares? The reality is that even if they win the title, people are going to find a way to downplay it and disrespect them.

Two years ago they swept KD/Kyrie, won game 7 vs the defending champs (Giannis) after winning an elimination game 6 on the road, and won game 7 of the ECF on the road vs Jimmy Butler.

People to this day still trash them for losing to the freaking warriors of all teams, even though they went through a gauntlet to get there in the first place. There has never been any respect. Haslem on live TV literally just claimed that they can't win the title because they are not battle testes. It's a joke.

Good points.

Imagine if Celtics lost by 46 in a playoff game. The world would end.

Being the defending champs comes with its perks

Honestly this is the worst PO series I can remember in the last 20 years

Not for me.

Now the real test begins. Buckle up cowboy

Yeah, for the remaining opponents.

Wolves would be the favorite if they played tomorrow buddy

Still feel the same way?

I would take Denver over the Celtics in a series...if that is what you are trying to ask me

Can you make up your mind who you think will beat the Celtics.
