He had one in denver

Not this level though.

And the amount of teams in the west was stacked those years. Denver was never the clear favorite like Boston has been the last few years

Right. Denver was never favored to make it out of the west those years, it was always the Lakers.

Keep chuckin away those 3s, Boston!

Keep chuckin away!

If Allen comes back in the series, celtics might have a real challenge on their hands

They look better without Allen. The Magic outscored them by 61 points in 2 games with Allen. They guard the perimeter better without him.

Not going to overreact to the Celtics making another 4 game series into a five game series but this team does team does seem to lack urgency sometimes.

Imagine if Celtics lose this series. Mazzula is 100% gone, but they will need to change the philosophy and stop jacking so many 3s, and that comes from FO(not Stevens)

Good. He’s not a reach coach. You could have an AI chatbot get more out of these guys.

How about we trade?

[HoopsterJones]

Celtics live and die by the 3.

7/30

[Funcrusher]

The celtics game thread on their forum is special man...

[SportsGuru08]

This is litrally a carbon copy of the game 2 from last series for Boston. They shoot bad from 3 other team shoots blazing hot. Big diffrence is Cleveland is better at home then miami was.

Also Cleveland isn't missing their best player.

[jkvonny]

Tatum just might be Melo 2.0 with better defense.

Melo never had a competent gm who built a great supporting cast like this Celtics team around him in his prime

He had one in denver

This.

The Nuggets were very good.
The West was just too damn stacked back then as well.

This is why it always feels something is missing with this team.

I was told the Celtics had a bunch of great defenders in White, Jrue, Brown and Tatum. Yet not a single one of these frauds, or combination of, can slow Mitchell down?

This performance does not indicate a five game series.

Cha Ching !!!

Before everyone overreacts the same thing happened heat/celtics game 2 and Boston destroyed them the next 3 games. Cleveland has more talent than the Butler less Heat but we'll see if this is actually a series.

Kind of a big difference. No need to overreact and this can easily be another gentlemen sweep, but Cleveland is a good team thats reasonably healthy. More they extend the series more you allow crazy chit to occur. Does Porzingis get injured in game 4 if C's are up 3-0 and both they and the Heat are playing with less intensity?

[AleksandarN]

This thread is dead where are all of the Celtic fans?

[azcatz11]

I pray the Cavs win tonight!!! Let’s go Cavs!

Better do a lot of praying.
