I think minnesota beats the warriors in 6.

If I’m the Rockets I’m open to trading Green and Sengun for a big star if I can do it. I would trade Sengun, Green and Sheppard for Giannis in a heartbeat

I know I am ranting about coach IME, but I have PTSD for blowing that championship to GS..

I still can't believe that idiot had the third pick of the draft, and drafted a player who was known for shooting scoring and playmaking and buried him.

Just like he did to our guys.. **** IMe..

I think the warriors are the weakest team remaining in the west. Glad we don’t see those guys in the finals if we advance. Mentally the warriors got us. Steph and Jimmy are the Celtics’ daddy. Steve Kerr played mind games with JT in the olympics.

That is being scared.

Face your fears!

The best thing that can happen is GSW vs. Boston in the Finals.

I think its interesting that 7 of the eight second round teams from last year made it back this year. Only new addition is the Warriors taking the place of the Mavericks.

Glad to see Indiana win. Cavs need Garland back, they don't have enough shot creation without him. Indiana could make it a series, at the very leats hopefully they can make it go long and tire out the Cavs before the next round.

I expect Boston to handle New York in 5, its a good matchup for the Celtics. Only wya it goes longer is some shooting luck or Brunson just going nuclear. Too many weak spots for Boston to pick at.

Mitchell 1 for 11 from 3

He looks like he's playing hurt. Maybe it's the ankle.

Turf toe and a player like Garland is not a good combo.

I wouldn’t trade Sengun. If in the rockets I’m following what the Celtics just did. Keep my young guys together and keep some vets on the team so that Sengun/Thompson/Green get some experience in the playoffs every year. 3-4 years from now a Thompson Sengun pairing is gonna be TOUGH

I thought Sengun got exposed a bit in the GS series. I'm not as high on him as many. This is a perfect sell high opportunity on Sengun in my opinion. I'm not high on Green at all. Sheppard I would try to keep.

Sengun to me is basically Sabonis. Both guys necessitate certain types of complementary players to create a workable lineup and neither is good enough to justify the contortions you have to go through.

Damn. That was a brilliant game one. I hate to see anyone injured when we might get an all-time classic series.

Cs losing sucks, but OKC losing sucks even more.

OKC coach showing lack of experience by fouling over and over again in the last 3 or 4 possessions and OKC leading by 3.

Post #636 » by **Shak_Celts** » Tue May 6, 2025 4:30 am

Well well well the sweeper greatest of all time isn’t sweeping? I’m shocked. Up about 10-11 with 4 mins to go? Couldn’t be.

Dogen · Post #637 » by **Dogen** » Tue May 6, 2025 4:30 am

Cleveland, Boston, and now OKC all giving up that home court advantage. What an opening to the second round!

Russ Westbrook came thru and made a winning play in the clutch

Fierce1 · Post #639 » by **Fierce1** » Tue May 6, 2025 4:38 am

I would like to point out the blunder of the OKC coach.

With OKC leading by 3, why would you keep fouling and sending Denver to the FT line when there's only 12 secs remaining and Denver is not really a great 3pt shooting team?

If you have Jokic, you always have a chance.
