Boston does not look like a championship team to me.

Also if I could never ever ever hear another complaint about a call, that would be fine with me.

This game is basically what I had described. Just a lack of a killer instinct. As deep and talented as this team is they need a killer mentality in the worst way. Don't get me wrong, they are coming out of the East but this isn't how you ramp up for a Finals run and I don't trust them to get their head out of their ass when they face off against Denver.

The Cavs are missing their best player and it's a 5 point game at the half. Like cmon man.

I’m not sure Boston would be out of first round in the West

I was thinking Cavs would be down 25+. I don't understand why they play down to their opponents level. We can put together the realgm hoopers squad against them and be down 5.

Not gonna lie I thought that Nets squad with Dwill/Iso Joe/PP/KG was gonna make noise. It was a great fit on paper. Then reality hit these guys are just old and washed.

Yes, gaslighting now! Boston fans, does this poster represent you? Despicable.

Go Tatum!

Just remember. More people hate Tatum than not because he hasn't won ****!

Edwards though is the second coming.

Boston will coast to the Finals but I think it says a lot about what a sad state the rest of the East is. Outside of their 3P shooting firepower I’ll admit that I haven’t been overly impressed by them in this series so far. I think the winner of Denver/Minny wins that matchup in 6.

Honestly, they are likely to win.

Boston shot 60/44/77 with a 24 to 16 rebound advantage. Cleveland should hit the boards better. Boston will not sustain the shooting.

I think Cleveland will win.

If Strus get pissed he might finish Celtics in 6 though

Celtics knew Pierce and KG were washed or else they wouldn't have traded them.

Cmon now.. They beat all the lower seeds. No doubt.
Pels?
Phoenix?
Lakers?
Clippers?

Draymond is a good fit here honestly. Good chemistry and has better BBIQ than everyone else there

If Cleveland wins this game, Boston's coach should be fired on the spot.

C's getting underrated here. They might not the killer instinct that others have, but they have the most talent in the league, imo, and thats still good for a lot. I think they'd beat everyone in the West besides Denver and im iffy on Dallas/Minnesota just because i still question how Tatum/Brown will deal with real physicality (and Luka's injury)

It would be a miracle for the Cavs to pull this off without Donovan Mitchell.

Isn’t this a Celtics thread? You’re obsessed with Ant. :lol:

Maybe try enjoying this Tatum performance, like I am.

Boston wouldn't get out of the first round in the west lol.

They were only 23 and 7 against the West. Horrendous I tell ya.

Naw. You're obsessed with Tatum.

This goes all the way back to you saying he's junk cause he hasn't won.

Talk about gaslighting :lol:

It's too easy

Who wins and goes to the ECFs?
