They don't force shots.

A great defense and an efficient offense is why they won 68 games.

Our Celtics are undisciplined on offense.
Too many home run shots or going for heat checks.


The Celtics gagged. Can’t win when you don’t hit your shots.

True.

No arguments from me on that.

Because Steph is injured and OKC looking like they will beat Denver, I think no team can beat OKC at this point in time.

Even if the Cs get to the Finals, I don't think they can beat OKC with their style of play.

Efficient offense and great defense is what OKC is all about.

Looks like Minny will be back in the WCF.

GSW just can't generate enough offense without Steph.

OKC’s 10 year run of total dominance is about to start
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Injuries making the Difference this Playoffs.
Everybody can't be Healthy 100% of the Time.

It's said, that 10% of a Basketball Team will be Injured, at any given time.
Therefore, you gotta go with more than just 8-Player Rotations, during the Regular Season.

By the time the Playoffs come, if you have major Injuries, then you're in Trouble.

Looks like the earliest Steph can return is Game 6.

Maybe it would be too late by then.

Really looking like OKC has a clear path to the championship.

Good for the NBA in general, but bad for us Celtic fans.

Don't be greedy.

Last season only Celtic fans were not SMH.

The rest of the NBA fans were SMH when the Cs went 16-3 to Banner 18.

I hope the cavs win tonight . If they lose I expect the celtics to follow suit tomorrow. They have done a good job imitating them.

Cavs have dominated. At least they showed some heart tonight. Let’s see if our boys do the same tomorrow. Too talented to get swept. Worry about Tatum though. Dude’s really a mental midget.

SGA made one shot in the 4th quarter & nothing in overtime.

I wonder if the General Board will keep the same energy as they do with Tatum ?

Return to Boston Celtics
