Maybe because they have mental toughness. This boston core is soft


I agree. No ego’s there with the nuggets. They want to win every game. Our guys talks a lot, complains a lot, but is mentally soft. Plus it helps to have a really good fit between their stars. A do it all big man, and a really good shooting/scoring point guard. Tatum and brown needs to take turns on offense, not play off each other.

If that's the case why did you predict Celtics in 7 when there's ZERO chance a team that talks a lot, complains a lot, and is mentally soft will ever win a playoff series.

I mean the Miami Heat have to be very bad to lose to a team with guys that talks a lot, complains a lot, and are mentally soft.

A team like Atlanta might lose to a team that talks a lot, complains a lot, and mentally soft.

But some of you guys are buying in to the hype about Miami being so great.

So why would it be Celtics in 7 if the Celtics are that bad and the Heat are that good?

It's contradicting.

If its game 7, chances are we blow them out. If its close, we probably lose, but its more likely that we blow them out, that’s why i chose celtics in 7

Celts will never reach a Game 7 if the Celtics, according to you, is a team with guys that talks a lot, complains a lot, and are mentally soft.

A team with those traits are simply a bad team that will not win any playoff games.

Here's the thing, great teams, even good teams, don't talk a lot, complain a lot, and are mentally tough.

If you're telling me the Celtics are a team with guys that talks a lot, complains a lot, and are mentally soft, no way I believe the Celtics will come close to stretching this series all the way to a Game 7.

Talking a lot, complaining a lot, and being mentally soft are traits of a lottery team, not a playoff team.

Back in the early 2010s the Heat were legit because of Lebron, Wade, and Bosh.

But as far as I can remember, Spo hasn't won any rings without Lebron, Wade, and Bosh.

Even Jimmy Butler paired with Joel Embiid couldn't get to the conference finals.

It's just a case of the Heat and Butler getting hot at the right time.

Lol. That’s according to you haha.
They can pull it off if they have a comfortable lead, like what happened game 7 against the sixers. If its close, i don’t like our chances.

Or because we didn’t defend and played to our potential, that’s why we lost.

Give me an example of a team that won a championship that had guys that talks a lot, complains a lot, and mentally soft?

What's the point in being tough and ending up with no rings?

Soft = no rings

Tough = no rings

That means they're both the same, soft Celtics no rings, and tough Heat no rings also.

No difference.

Kind of enjoying the story that he pushed Doc out the door then immediately bolted. Not sure if true but humorous nonetheless.

I was a huge Doc stan when he was here and was disappointed when he left. Then many smart people informed he wasn’t that good a coach and that it was really Thibs who did all the good coaching here. Now Thibs is regarded as a crappy coach and Doc would have done better if he’d just stayed here for ten years.

Point of all of this is screw doc and man I wish Celtics had drafted Jimmy Butler instead of JaJuan Johnson and Marshon Brooks but at this point screw Butler too he’s going to wear out at the end like last year lol.

Nuggets are so dominant their players are already openly guaranteeing a championship.
