KD and Kyrie be laughing for better offense.

Celtics have been statically better on offense even with both in the lineup. I don't make picks on name recognition

Would it be an upset? Nets were title favorites not that long ago.

6 or 7 game series. Could go either way. I’ll say Nets win it in 6.

simmons going from not playing in a year to playoff intensity is a really tough thing to rely on.

chances are that he gets hurt again if he does even come back.

but if he's 75% of the player he was, then the nets have a legit shot at the chip.

Celtics in 6. Team with 2 elite scorers will get loose occasionally without Timelord.

Series odds opened as a pickem basically. So the celts in 5 or celts on 4 should make you some good money.

My prediction , to quote Mr. T. “ pain”

Celtics in 6.

I'd be worried if the Nets could play any sort of defense but they're like a turnstile. Obviously the KD/Kyrie part of it means they can win any game but I think we have enough defensively to get it done.

No Timelord, Nets in 7.

If you've been betting Nets odds all season you'd be homeless by now.

They seemed better at defense last season. But their lead defensive assistant coach left.

Perhaps the Cs can consult him as to what the Nets' defensive weaknesses might be.

This is the Celtics' series to lose.

They'll win on D, and they'll expose the Nets going the other way if they do what they should.

No guarantees though, but I think they'll take it.

Timelord will be back mid series. Celtics in 5

Antinomy · Post #56 » by **Antinomy** » Wed Apr 13, 2022 3:30 am

Simmons coming back, along with Timelord being out, may be enough to swing the series for the Nets.

Thank god my Bucks got the hell outta that 2 spot.

Celtics in 6 honestly maybe even 5 nets ain’t ready. Boston is gonna get endless layups and drive and kicks.

Kyrie meltdowns halfway thru game 4 and throws in the towel sits out game 5.

I’d love for Ben Simmons to come back and take a shooter off the court and add a body to Kd and kyrie.

Celtics in 6. JT will be the face of the nba, and his journey to greatness starts in this series. Rob or not, celtics will go about this playoffs guns blazing!

I agree Simmons would take a shooter off. Hope he plays soon. I can’t wait for “hack a ben” in the 4th.

Who wins the series?
