NBA FINALS, Gm 1 – Mavericks @ Celtics – 8:30PM, Thurs, June 6, 2024

[KamikazeK]

Why should the Celtics get any “flowers”? What title have they won? If they want to be truly respected and get their “flowers”(dumb term), then they go and take it. There are no excuses this year. It’s win it all or bust.

HArd disagree.

The Celtics are the team to beat. Not the Mavs.

Give them their flowers.

You get flowers when you win a title. You don't get flowers for being Vegas favorites.

Go away.

[Triple7]

Actually i’m sick of the media trying to turn Luka, as some kind of like, magical player or something. If our guys really wanted this championship, and really played determined, and not play scared, we should take this. Luka will try to get into their heads, with his trash talk, and all smiles. Its up to our guys if they will have none of that.

He is magical.

A magical player who doesn't play defense.

He plays defense now.

Lol. Keep telling yourself that.

If you beat Dallas you'll get your flowers.

You're basically asking for flowers for being the favorites. I don't see what sense that makes. Being the favorites should raise the bar to where you get your flowers for winning the title. Maybe if the Pacers had beat you and made the finals they'd have earned some flowers for getting there. Boston making the finals was expected. You don't get praised for doing what you were supposed to do.

Who still has issues with RGM on mobile? Can't even scroll a page properly.

What brand of phone do you have? If you have an android phone I have a solution.

What's the solution. It stutters and lags on my S23 Ultra.

I'm trying to be objective, I really am, but just about every metric and historical fact points to this being Boston Winning. It scares me that I feel like we're going to win this easily.

Same exact feeling here.

I'm starting to think this is too good to be true.

In April you said the Celtics weren't winning this year but you had them going back to back in 25 and 26.

You also said the Jays probably won't get it until they're 30.

So how do you go from that to thinking they statistically have no way of losing?

Game 5 lands on June 17, 16 years to the day of the Celtics last championship.

Celtics in 5. So it was written, so it shall be done.

I never said the Cs not winning it this year.

What I said was the Cs have a higher chance of winning it next year.

And I never said the Jays will not win until they reach 30.


What I kept saying was even if the Jays can't get it done now, they still have until they reach their 30s.

I've been told not to keep repeating my posts because it annoys the posters here.

Guess now we know why I have to repeat what I said because someone like you apparently didn't see some of my posts.

Pages 77-90 of the Game 1 thread against the Pacers will show who the doubters are.

I'm still waiting for you to find that person that said I was a burner account.

You said if they win this year they're ahead of schedule. That you'll be happy if they win this year because it's house money.

I'm not sure what else you would expect for me to infer from that but that's what you said.

So what change from then till now was my question? How do you go from house money to statistically almost impossible to lose? It's a serious question. No digging. Just a question.

So you do know how to use the search feature but you still can't find that account that you said accused me of being a burner?

As for the post in turn, when Joe has a bad game that's how I feel. Luckily since then Jrue has stepped up and filled that void.

The simple answer is Denver is not the finals opponent.

I've been told by the mods to focus on talking Celtics and not arguing with other posters.

I stand by what I said about this being house money because if the Cs win a chip this year then it will be a 3-peat in 2026.

No one is arguing.

We agree then. You had them winning it in 25 and 26 but not this year. That's all I said.

[165bows]

Does anyone know what he’s talking about ?

Ngl I might change my pick from Dallas to Celtics after hearing the inside info of what Brad Stevens’s has told his players to do

Surprised other teams have t done this to kyrie

Nope but the Celtics have been smoking Kyrie for awhile so…

Only 10 in a row including a clean sweep of Irving, Durant and harden.

That team sucked but to contain that kind of talent to 0 wins is still impressive.

But Luka is gonna sweep the Celtics I hear so I can't wait until next season.

Ah now it comes back to me - they also discussed if this was the best back court of all time, and then said it was still preliminary and check back in 4-5 years. As in, if Kyrie is still playing like this in five years then yes that’s a legit discussion.

Setting aside the validity of that who the hell thinks Kyrie was still be in the league at 35 years old not me that dude will hit the wall.

Like I said, having a higher chance of winning next year is not the same as saying they're not winning it this year.

You yourself said you "inferred".

Your inference is wrong because I never said they're not winning it this year.

Come on, man, what are you trying to prove?

It was just a few days ago you gave up on the Celtics prematurely and now you're giving them flowers even if they haven't won the chip yet.

A bit extreme if you ask me.

The only thing that I know is you don't know what house money means.

If you expect them to win this year then it's not house money. If they're ahead of schedule then you don't expect them to win this year.

Celtics in 5.
