NBA Playoff Games 2025, Non-Celtics

[Shak_Celts]

Really, pacers mistake was the lead lost in g4. Looms large.

[playa-hater]

It's not over until you win 4 games if Indiana holds on and wins game six, then anything can happen.

A fully healthy Celtics would have a great chance of beating this okc team. Except that we play dumb basketball and we choke away big leads, playing with no composure, no confidence, no go to guy to get us through slumps. Still, if our 3ball is going, we would have a better chance than indy. If we didn’t chike away the first two games at NY, we would still be playing, and JT probably wouldn’t be injured

Losing to NY was better.

Cs not beating OKC because of the reasons you cited.

Losing in the finals is very painful.

I'm content with how this season ended.

It's very clear the Cs need to get better, mentally.

[Fierce1]

The Celtics, especially the Jays and White, need to stop those silly heat checks.

OKC are where they are right now because they're disciplined on offense.

They rarely take bad shots.

It's a high bball IQ team with a #1 defense.

Celtics, as currently constructed, will not beat OKC.

Brad needs to make roster moves and Joe needs to tweak the system.

Nah! I would have preferred to get to the finals and lose, than to have no shot at all. With KP unhealthy, we would have had a hard time against okc, but two games of insanely good 3pt shooting, two awful games by okc, the. We could probably squeak a repeat. Plus we don’t know how the C’s would play in the finals, and Okc has no experience playing in one. We could be the underdogs going in, like when we lost to gsw in 22, and beat them handily. Anything could happen. An injury to one of their core players could level the playing field. Plus would have loved a shot to repeat. Losing to the knicks was dumb. We didn’t looked like defending champs.

OKC plays like this against the pacers, because they know they are the better team. If they lost game 4, and down 3-1, thise guys would have melted down and lose in 5 or 6. Big diff against us. If we took care of game 2 against the knicks, not losing the same way as game 1, we would have beaten the knicks 4 straight games. Instead, losing game 2, made our margin for error slim, and our guys got pressured playing close in game 4. In reality, our team lacks the leadership other championship team has.

Oklahoma City has scored 476 points off turnovers this playoffs, the most by a team in a single postseason since play-by-play tracking began in 1997.

The 2008 Celtics held the previous record (461).

[Shak_Celts]

They better let TJ play to the death this game! Just keep him out there with a minute or two break each half lol. Let that guy go!

I want a g7!

[meatball sub]

Chet absolutely **** his pants in every single game of the finals is one of the funnier things to happen this playoffs

[Fierce1]

Would love for the Pacers to prove me wrong.

A Game 7 would nice for all the fans.

[GreenBloodedC]

We're rooting for the Pacers right? So OKC's comparison w the '24 Celtics would stop

[Shak_Celts]

Pacers must be the second greatest team of all time since the greatest is having so much troubling finishing them.

Okc is likely going to win this thing, but it’s been a struggle!

[Shak_Celts]

That’s crazy asl

If OKC does indeed win everything. It would be because they are being rewarded for their regular season and getting home court advantage.

But no way do I consider them The better team now.. had all 7 games been on a neutral court I bet. Indiana wins this series.

[Fierce1]

That's why I would never take for granted Banner 18.

Last season was special and it ended in a championship trophy.

[playa-hater]

Shepherd with a third quarter knockout punch at the buzzer. Now, if only he would shave that ridiculously looking mustache.

[Tyakack]

Win or lose game 7, it's obvious the Pacers are legit. We as Celtics fans knew that already though.

True that.

Also proves that you don't need multiple max players anymore.

You could say the Pacers are winning with quantity instead of quality.
