The Celtics at Nuggets game could be a finals preview.

Clips won't be on back to back in the playoffs.

Cs will have an easier path to Banner 18 if they face the Clips, instead of the Nuggets, in the finals.

Both have their challenges...if we make it, whoever we face will be a very good team who has had to get through a very strong west.

Jokic will be harder to contain.

Cs match up better with the Clips.

The Clippers are pretty good but I think were a little overrated. Their whole team was shooting unsustainablly good from 3 for most of the season, especially Powell and Coffee.

I always believed in the Bucks. They're team is loaded and will be the hardest team to beat in the east for the Cs.

Can he really get back in time?
Round 1, seems unlikely?

I dont like doing it, but I gotta hate Patty Mills now and as an Aussie, that feels unnatural

I was one of the biggest doubters on this guy but I’m definitely ready to concede he’s probably better than Bol Bol.

Dude’s ego can’t handle that no one’s wanted him for years. He could have a more prominent role & be making more money if he just put aside his pride & went overseas.

He was even delusional enough to think that teams weren’t signing him before last season because they were all waiting for KD to commit to the Nets.

I take it back, Bol confirmed. 4/10 for 10 points, 3 AST/6TO, opposing center Sengun scores 454 points.

Seriously though there was a lot of this earlier in the year and as far as I can tell they’ve been a whole lot less frequent lately. Nevertheless still a bit of hyperbole, he might block a ton of shots but I don’t think he’s anywhere close to an elite defender yet.

The Nuggets are being pummelled by the Suns, at home. Unless they mount an epic comeback tonight (without Dean Wade), the game Thursday will be a bloodbath.

Overtime in Denver !!!

Hopefully The Suns can hang in there and push them for at least another O/T period!

Would you look at that.
The team that we apparently have no chance of beating because they’re apparently otherworldly in clutch managed to only score 7 points in overtime.
I have no problem with people picking the Nuggets in a series against us but everyone acts like they’re the Jordan Bulls.
Our offence is on another level this year which is why I think we could easily find 4 wins against the Nuggets.

Yes but we have an option available to us that Denver doesn't, we can fire Joe and hire a coach who knows that timeouts win every game, every time. They can't fire Joe, so they're screwed.

Fierce1 · Post #1159 » by **Fierce1** » Wed Mar 6, 2024 6:11 am

I think Joe's window will be this season and next season.

Joe will most likely get fired if the Cs still fail to get Banner 18 by June, 2025.

Looks like the Luka lovers also silent today.

Another 39-point triple-double for Luka and the Mavs lost again at home.
