This will be a short finals.

Boston is just a bad matchup for Dallas.

Celtics in 4.

Worst case scenario is I'm wrong and Dallas wins 1 game.

[KamikazeK]

for KP.

"TBD will be the first real team the un-battle-tested Celtics are playing in the postseason. Being a West team, even if they won 20 less games than the Cs, are automatically better. TBD are the clear favorites but if the Celtics lose, it'll be the biggest choke job in NBA history. If the Celtics somehow win, it's only because TBD had a tougher path to the Finals."

[Riverwalk2021]

Will Porzingis actually play game 1 or will he just be tweeting instead?

[Bar Fight]

I cannot survive another Finals loss

Let's make it 14 straight.

"They had it easy in the East. Celtics would be a play-in team in the West."

Meanwhile...

[jonige94]

We won't get a better chance than the one we've had this year

[_Und3r][D4wg_]

What's this group's batting average coming out of extended rest days?

[chrisab123]

More minutes being put on the Mavericks is a good thing

[Romeiro Celtic]

Man, I really wish Minnesota would push this to 7 games...

[LewisnotMiller]

"They had it easy in the East. Celtics would be a play-in team in the West."

Meanwhile...

Comes with the territory of following a team that is loved or hated by many.
In Australia, my Aussie Rules team is a smaller team, and no one cares enough about us to make excuses for us winning.
Mind you, we don't win much these days either.

[Celts17Pride]

Congratulations to the Boston Celtics for getting into position this year by making the NBA Finals. Now let's finish the job!

[zoyathedestroya]

Nothing else left to do...

[Fencer reregistered]

"They had it easy in the East. Celtics would be a play-in team in the West."

Meanwhile...

Also, the Cs played a tougher schedule in that mix than the other good teams did.

[Fencer reregistered]

I look forward to the wild extrapolations from the first 5 minutes of the first game.

[zoyathedestroya]

I look forward to the wild extrapolations from the first 5 minutes of the first game.

"This team is going nowhere. Break it up this offseason." OR "DYNASTY!!! At least 4 titles in next 5 years."

No in-between.

[Kalela]

Would people prefer to face the Mavericks or the Timberwolves (if the unthinkable happens)?

[zoyathedestroya]

I still prefer to face the Mavs, esp if KP is limited. After the Wolves take them to 7 games and 10 overtimes.
