We can too if we play primarily Horford/Porzingis lineups

Nah, MIN bigs have a combination of size/strength BOS doesnt have.

We have a better offence than Minnesota though.

This series is going to be a war but I still believe we’re the only team that can beat Denver.

Murray bothered by wolves length! I give the wolves edge on this. They have a deeper bench. Murray and Kokic needs to play great all the time for them to win.

What a luxury to have 2 7 footers in your starting lineup.

I'm surprised to see Jokic still easily able to back down Gobert. DEN will still win this series if that's the case.

KAT seems to do a better job of holding his ground

Playoff pressure being felt by both teams.

Both teams keep missing open 3s.

Edwards here dropping 20 in a half on the road against the defending champs like it’s nothing. This kid is going to end up top 5 all time if he keeps this up.

Wolves offense is horrendous. Their defense is keeping them in it, but my god can someone other than Ant make a shot.

Haven't been following the playoffs. Did the Celtics win Banner 18 yet?

KAt played decent on offense.

In reality, both teams don’t really have that many 3pt shooters. If we play any of these teams, we can beat them if we shoot well from 3. Our bench alone with Al, pritch and sam, can shoot lights out. Those team mostly scores inside or the mid range. Mostly efficient though.

Reid, NAW, and other Wolves role players are playing like deer in the head lights.

Yeah, I agree.

Nuggets will have a hard time beating the Cs with this version of DWhite.

Last time Cs lost to Denver, White just had 7 points.

The Celtic offense goes to a different level when White is playing great.

DEN has a bunch of 3pt shooters.

He’s already on vacation and is still guaranteeing a championship. Amazing guy.

You have to play near-perfect against Denver. They rarely do dumb stuff themselves then make you pay when you do.
