I would have preferred them winning game 7. Because this series looks like a cake walk for the Celtics.


Nets sweep season series against Orlando , does this means we can knock Celtics too ? :lol:

Wolves would be the favorite if they played tomorrow buddy


Celtics would win that series with relative ease. 6 games or less.

Styles make fights and I feel a lot better about matching up with the TWolves than Denver. We can stretch their defense like nobody else and have more firepower than anybody. It would be a great matchup. We have four guys who can go off for 25+ any given night in Tatum, Brown, Porzingis and White.

No they wouldn’t. :lol:


I been noticing a lot of trolling on the GB. When it came to Miami fans I couldn't help my self but get involved.

However this is madness. I don't care how good the wolves defense has been playing. They won't let them play like that in the NBA finals.

See the 2021 Celtics if you want an example of a smothering defense that had their balls cut out from under them by the refs who want to make sure we have a offensive product.

Nothing trolling about it. Wolves are currently playing the best ball and are the most complete team in the league. If you can’t see that I’m not sure what to tell you

In what world would the Wolves be the favorite over the Celtics?

Just say the wolves are going to win because that's what you believe, that's a subjective take.

Objectively there's no way the wolves would be the favorites.

Celtics in 6.

If the wolves even get there.

Someone doesn’t understand that the Celtics are currently heavy favourites for the title and have HCA in the finals.

The Wolves are not starting favourites LMAO.

He kind of has a point. If they face the Wolves right NOW? Without Porz? Yeah, the Wolves would be heavy favorites since that’s a bad matchup for them without him. But if they have him, different story.

It's recency bias. The Celtics took their best shot and handled them already. Wolves beat the Celtics by 5 in OT at home without White.

They lost to the Celtics in OT in Boston.

I'm still wondering how that would make them the favorites? Lol
