The referees are Human and maybe they feel the pressure.

Hopefully Boston can get the same treatment from the refs

Wolves playing in the road lol

No Gobert helps their offense.

But also, Denver has just been melting down all game lol.

They actually have plenty of offensive talent on paper if you look at it.

Denver looks a bit like we did last year VS the Heat in game 3. They were pouring it on and we didn’t have a clue what to do. Gotta regroup and try and get one on the road now like we did.

We saw them in game 6 of the season and the 2nd one in Boston we won in OT and they had no Gobert or Conley.

Jaylen also had some success scoring the ball against them but I feel like they are A LOT better now. Maybe I’m wrong..


White missed the first game, and KP missed the second game, feel like that’s worth mentioning lol. It went to OT, but it was because Tatum destroyed them down the stretch and in OT

He will be fine against Minny, other guys will have to win their matchups though, and the Wolves deep with awesome defenders.

Minmy has definitely gotten better since then, but the Celtics have been at that level all season.

From what I remember JT made some really tough shots down the stretch of that game. One shot over Towns in particular was ridiculous. He’s obviously capable of that, but hard to rely on it consistently in a 7 game series.


We can match up better with the nuggets. Both games against them went down the wire, with JT playing bad in the recent one. They have no bench. No rim protection, no pesky perimeter defenders. A few 3pt shooters. We can actually blow them out if we shoot well. Wolves, is a different team than when we faced them. Antman is defferent now. Still we can beat them if we shoot lights out, and if KP is healthy. JT needs to match Ant, and Jaylen to match kat. Its really obvious we will have a harder time against the wolves. They are deep, big, athletic, young and confident. They have the better defense as well.

Celtics match up better against the Blazers. Wish that were an option. I just want a title so bad. Which is weird, cos they won't give rings to fans anyway. We don't really get anything out of it.
