The lack of competition for the Celtics in the east is probably the only thing that can take them off their championship path.

You probably don't want to get to the finals before your run into real adversity.

Brown also showing up like always when it matters. Good win by the Celtics, but again, this team plays with no energy outside of DWhite.

This Celtic team won't have me feeling good till the parade is booked in downtown Boston


I don't see how anyone is beating Minnesota. They can defend the 3 and they'll badly outrebound the Celtics.

Lol no. This was a complete team win. To Tatum's credit, he played good defense and was an active screener on offense. But his shooting tonight has been trash.

Didn't the Orlando Magic give the Celtics a tough time in the regular season?

I would have preferred them winning game 7. Because this series looks like a cake walk for the Celtics.

Nobody in the East gave this team a tough time.

Minnesota is a monster no doubt... but the Nuggets have fewer offensive options on the court at the same time than the Celtics would. Boston is dangerous because you have to guard everyone on the court closely.

We only won the tournament game, but they had two blowout games against us in December. We played better last season.

They beat them in Orlando when the season first started in November by 17, but then Boston won the other two games by 17 in Boston. They went 2-1 against Orlando and 2-1 against Cleveland.
