They were all losing to the Celtics regardless

You will have to pray for a savior out West

Of course the Celts woulda been favored but they're gonna go 2-3 months without a meaningful game. There is zero suspense with these matchups.

Brown > Tatum. Argue with your father.

 

[UpAndComing]

I just hope Porzingis is getting healthy. The Celts been shorthanded the entire playoffs. It's getting old....

I agree Porzingis needs to come back. Do not want him rusty and out of rhythm for the Finals

Tyrese haliburton stats line tonight before getting hurt :10 points, 4 rebounds, 8 primary assists/decisive passes.

Holiday outplayed him head to head and put him in his back pocket. He won his matchup. Haliburton was invisible offensively because holidayshut him down defensively.

I have never seen this Celtics squad look impressive, even when they win.

Which let's you know the trophy gonna stay on the west coast for a while...

Celtics are deeper but I have more faith in Kyrie/Luka backcourt than Tatum/Brown. The Wolves beat the Celtics in five barring injury.

Nah and Nah. Luka has struggled with his shooting just as much as JT has this postseason (with much less criticism, of course) and JB has been better than Kyrie. A heathy C's team isn't losing in 5 to anybody in the world. Hell, they wouldn't even lose in 5 if KP has played his last game of the season

Watch a Jordan Peele flick.

Y'all see this shyt? Knicks/Pacers thread was buzzin.... thousand pages long and shyt.... Why was everyone so invested if both teams had nothing but trash players?

@SchoolboyC @UpAndComing @Raquinotj @GOAT

These dudes are stressed in here..... lol

First it was the nuggets, now it’s “Whoever wins between Dallas and Minnesota gonna beat up the Celtics”


Now we gonna get 48 hours of birds chirping about irrelevant stuff the Celtics did not do to win by 30 points.


They won by too little

Haliburton faking injury to take the heat off Derrick White putting him on lockdown

 

[cartierhoe]

Underrated and underappreciated

 

[GOAT]

Haliburton faking injury to take the heat off Derrick White putting him on lockdown

Targeting him on defense has basically been our entire offensive gameplan lol. We're gonna have to switch it up if he doesn't return

 

[UpAndComing]

Honestly, they don't need Porzingis in this series. This is more of a factor of Joe Mazzulla being a dumbass and not realizing there's opportunities for Tatum to play the 5, to play Oshea Brissett more play Tillman more, etc. There are options he can go to, but he's stubborn and stuck in his ways

I just want Porzingis back to get his rhythm with his team and knock the rust off

Thanks Joe Mazzulla

He needs to be either the first or second player off the bench for the rest of the playoffs

 

[Copy Ninja]

ESPN should have Legler on at the halftime show and let him be the only guy to talk. That would be a huge upgrade to what they have now.

I just hope Porzingis is getting healthy. The Celts been shorthanded the entire playoffs. It's getting old....

Notice how we never brought that up, they act like the Celtics don’t have a KEY piece missing since the first round.
