Dream is to have Timberwolves win game 7 and then Mavs beat the Timberwolves the next round. We matchup very good with them or okc but I trust Mavs would give Timberwolves more trouble

I’m still hoping for the Pacers. Celtics would sweep the Pacers. I got the Celtics in 5 against the Knicks so I guess it doesn’t matter

Its all about quality of opponent. We cant control who we play, but we can control how we play and we really played down to a very broken Cavs

We outscored them by 7.2 points per game. 3 of 4 wins were blowouts. We scored 36 more points over 5 games. The Nuggets might lose tonight's game by 36.

If the Celtics scored 63 points in a playoff game they would be getting thrown out of the league.

If the Celtics get the Pacers I wouldn’t play KP until the Finals. KP could use the 4 games for rest

Would have posters claiming Mazzulla is a bottom 5 coach over the past 40 years.

Denver has to stop losing close out games by 40 first.

Denver needs someone like Payton Pritchard to run their garbage time offense.

Who did the Celtics double up at one point this year, the Warriors?

Good times.

Nuggets bench are just awful. Reggie jackson, braun???
That’s it. I’d rather face the nuggets. Their defense are nothing compared to the wolves. Plus we can just bomb away from 3 for 4 games, and we beat them.

Horford never lost a playoff game by 50.

The rest can get assblasted and not a peep from the media, but the Celtics with a winning margin of 17.5 per game and they aren’t playing well enough.

Return to Boston Celtics
