This series is payback for JFK.
It's been a long time coming...

Is it just me or has anyone else realised that Tatum usually plays his best basketball when everyone says the other team has the best player ?

It’s almost like he’s not only motivated to prove them wrong but a weight is taken off his shoulder & he can play more freely.

That's why I said doubters beware.

In the series against the Cavs, there was a lot of noise about Tatum in the first 2 games of the series.

Tatum then went on to have back to back 30-point games to give the Cs a 3-1 series lead.

Every time people start to doubt JT, he always responds in a big way.

Chuck has our backs.

Don’t know if i like chuck backing us up lol. What’s his record on predictions? Haha

Chucks record on individual games isn’t great but he has been pretty decent on picking the NBA playoff series winner this year. He did picked the Mavs over Minn to win that series. I’m pretty sure he picked both Denver & GSW post All-Star break the past 2 years to win it all. This year he picked the Celtics since the Holiday trade and hasn’t change his mind all season.

Never forget the scumbag Kidd is a woman abuser and never spent a single day suspended for it.

Joe has no excuses, he's finally matched up against a coach he is or should be considerably better than.

No way the Celtics lose to Kidd. It's impossible.

Anyone picking Dallas is delusional imo. This is an easy 5 game clap

General board is hilarious. Not only are plenty of people picking Dallas, I'm dealing with someone who refuses to accept that most the general board is.

I don't see how Dallas has the guns to keep up with Boston. Even if Luka and Kyrie go off.

Who's stopping White, Jrue and KP?

They better pray PP and Hauser start bricking shots too.

The Celtics really learned a lot from Miami and Indiana.

Heat defense made the Jays better making the right reads.

Pacers generating so much smoke forced the Cs to play a lot of close games.

That really tested the Cs in the clutch.

Not that there’s any easy out, but out of the four West teams that were remaining in the second round, I like my chances with these ones the most.

Four games to go. Cmmmooonnnnnnm

When the Mavs beat the Clips, I started floating the idea of a Mavs vs. Celtics finals.

At that time I thought it was just a dream.

Mavs are gonna win somewhere between 0 to 3 games. Congrats to them in advance!

We have Jrue/D-White/Brown/Tatum to guard Luka & Kyrie.... Who's gonna guard those 4 on Dallas? Luka & Kyrie? Celtics in 6

London2Boston · Post #137 » by **London2Boston** » Fri May 31, 2024 11:38 am

I can see them deploying Luka on Al and sagging him off to get him rest defensively . Al gonna have to make his shots…. Hopefully KP back for Game 1 and then they can’t really get away with that.

Kyrie Irving is such a scumbag piece of ****. How does this dude get away with being a slimey, lying bastard? People talk about him getting his revenge on Boston, we treated this **** like royalty and he disrespected our logo, quit on us in the playoffs, was envious of his teammates and lied to the entire fanbase for no reason. Absolute scumbag.

Cs just need to beat them.

That will be the ultimate "I Spit On Your Grave" ending.
