Did Murray even play? Seemed invisible all throughout the half.

Jokic just waiting for you to try to double him

Well this series delivers adequately.

now im not sure if i'd rather face the wolves or denver. my gut tells me the wolves due to the lack of experience and not having to deal with the crazy altitude. i also don't have much faith in minny winning game 7 in denver unless murray completely **** the bed again, but he'll have 2 days off to recover.

Trust me the Celtics would rather face Minny. I have nightmares every night thinking about Horford, Porzingis or Kornet guarding Jokic

Barring a miracle, ECF starts Tuesday regardless of NYK-IND outcome. Opponent TBD.

Nearly half of Nuggets shots are now from 3. They haven't made many.

Yep, Jokic is a very tough matchup for Boston.

What starter does Malone need to bench?

Jaylen Brown

Cs have a bigger chance of beating Minny, but beating Denver is more meaningful.

Nothing like taking down the defending champs.

Celtics need Porzingis to come back and stay healthy for 3 weeks

Fierce1 · Post #315 » by **Fierce1** » Fri May 17, 2024 2:31 am

Everything is really falling into place for the Cs.

I really hope this is the year.

Big dunk by Braun to cut it to 27 points

I bet Denver is gonna get less criticism for losing by 30 than the Celtics winning by 15 in a short series close out game.

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
