I still think we were the better team when we lost to the heat in the playoffs last time. Which is why the loss was so frustrating. If we face again, I think we smack them around like the inferior team they are. GO NETS! For tonight only.

I think we are kidding ourselves if we think anyone other than the Nets are coming out of the East, if they're healthy.
And suddenly, Celtics are 1.5 out of the 1 seed. Knowing this team's luck, what's gonna happen is we are going to get the 1 seed, then the Nets in the first round.
And that'll be the season. Hope the Nets get the 7 seed.

I don't wanna play the nets in the first round either but my god man....How can you be this pessimistic with the way the celtics have been playing? You know I'm not a green koolaid drinking homer and even I'm calling your takes ridiculous.
IDC how good you think the nets are healthy *I also think they are really good and a serious problem* nobody is playing better than the C's right now. Nobody is "kidding themselves" for thinking the celtics have a shot. If you're this impressed with the nets after today you should be double impressed by the C's, at least.

This isn't about today. This is about the best player in the world having his #2 playing just like he did back in 2016. Playoffs are a different animal. I think we can beat anyone outside of the Nets, possibly the Bucks if we have Home court. I am impressed with us. I do think we have an ECF ceiling that we should get to.Tyakack wrote:Jaqua92 wrote:I think we are kidding ourselves if we think anyone other than the Nets are coming out of the East, if they're healthy.

But I just don't have confidence in a 7 game series against the Nets and would rather see them in the ECF.

If Philly loses at Phoenix and we handle Minny tomorrow we'll be in first place. What a remarkable turnaround to the season.

True that.
Before the season started, I had the Celts finishing as the #3 seed, at best.
But I never imagined the Celts being #1.

I like the idea of Boston #2 or #3 and Miami #2 or #3.

nobody lol
they're a great story. not just to make it to the elite 8 but to beat 2 seed kentucky and 3 seed purdue is nuts.
They're such a fundamentally sound team. Their coach is awesome.

Re: Around the NBA (and other Sports) 2021-22, Part 4
Let’s go I made the wall of shame.
**** the nets if we get em round one we get em. Sure we have a better chance to beat other teams obviously but not gonna hope we avoid them.
The way the Celtics have been playing nobody wants that smoke. Not even the durantula and the visionary.
We played them differently last time then in the past it’s a new matchup.

The heat have reached a new low. Andre Drummond picked off a pass and went coast to coast and threw up a peace sign on them as he went for the dunk lol.
I mean how you gonna let Drummond do you like that.

Re: Around the NBA (and other Sports) 2021-22, Part 4
everyone expected the nets and sixers to be the best in the EC. the surprise is that we're there too. atm i'd say its a tossup between these three. the nets are the most talented by far but kyrie is too capricious, not sure they are mentally tough enough to win a gruelling 7-game series, plus who knows about simmons. the sixers are good but beatable if you can frustrate embiid. i think we've got a puncher's chance against either, i like our consistency and togetherness which is important in the playoffs.
