We do need the Cavs to scare the Celtics. Even Celtics fans want that. They had an easy ride all year.

That's what game 2 against Miami was for.

Mazzulla gave an encouraging update on KP today. Says the injury is not as bad as they thought and didn't rule out a return in this series. I don't think it's likely they'll play him in this series but it's nice to get less-than-terrible news on it.

I don't think it will matter all that much in this series anyways. Celtic's are 22-4 without KP this season so far this season.

If they get no scare in the East, they'll definitely get a wake up call in the Finals regardless of who makes it. But I think Knicks/Celtics would be competitive. I don't think much of this series.

Sounds like you are underrating Mitchell...I guess you missed the Magic series

Barkley talking crazy again. Saying Presti and Masai are the best two GM's. No love for Tim Connelly or Brad Stevens or Leon Rose.

Not Mitchell, but the others I most certainly do. Holiday and White are a different animal. He won't go off on us like he did vs. Orlando. Plus we can compare the benches if you'd like.

This is going to sound crazy, but we should be starting TT if the Celtics are starting Horford.

Mobley is going to have to have a great series for them to have a chance. He’s the X factor
