at laker fans rooting for the warriors because they know if this Celtic team win this year they’ll more than likely be back to win more finals extending their championship hardware hahaha

It's really crazy how much Otto Porter Jr looks like Wilt Chamberlain.

Now you're dissing Wilt Chamberlain

Otto’s grandmother was one of Wilt’s jumpoffs

It was a 1-1 series with GSW stealing homecourt and then Klay had to miss Game 3 with a high ankle sprain

Doesn’t really change what I said, Raps won 6 of the 8 quarters in those first 2 games. At worst it was even with a slight edge to Toronto with Klay. Then they lost G4 when Klay came back. Series had a great chance to be done in 5 if KD was smart.

1.Luka is 5-2 against the Celtics his career so far. He’s a matchup nightmare and torches the Celtics. Just as Middleton and Dragic(when he played for the heat) are but like 2x over

2. He has I think 3 game winners already against the C’s

3. Mavs and Pistons were the two teams that gave the Celtics the most trouble during their second half run this season

4. Nesmith has proven he can play minutes against the warriors team and be very serviceable on both offense and defense. I know because I was actually there


5. The Celtics struggles all come against physicality. How did they lose their last game against the Mavs? Physicality. Who are the most physical teams west?

Which other point do you want me to support? because I can do them all, you want me to pull some numbers next or you want me to pull the playbooks to help you understand better?

This is going to be a GREAT series. I fully expect it to go 7 games.

The difference is Steph and the Warriors are more battled tested and more consistent, plus they'll have game 7 at home. Celtics will have to play nearly flawless basketball to win this series, which I don't think they'll do. They're going to hunt for Steph so we'll see how those matchups play out, but I still give the edge to the Warriors.

Dubs in 7.

Has all the making for a great series, but if the Celtics play like morons if/when they have a large lead, then they are going to get smacked. Tatum and Brown need to make better decisions late in games and stop turning the ball over. Curry and Thompson aren't going to miss their opportunities after the Celtics make a mistake.

No prediction here other than if the Celtics turn it over and make boneheaded plays late in games like they did against the Heat, that it will be a five game series at most.

Real talk. The Cs lapses in bball IQ is astonishing at times. Should’ve blown them out, but you knew it was gonna be close because we lack the ability to put feet on necks.

I don’t need Marcus Smart shooting a gang of threes down the stretch.

The series will be good experience for the Celtics but the Warriors are winning this. They've been here too many times and are healthier than the Celtics.

Pretty much.

The Celtics can absolutely win, but if Tatum is going to fall down and throw his hands up in the air looking for a call every time he makes a poor play, you'll just see Curry or Thompson hitting an open three point shot at the other end of the court. You're not facing Strus, Vincent, and Lowry out there........you're facing Curry, Thompson, Poole, and Wiggins, all of whom can light it up from deep. If the Heat cut the lead as quickly as they did multiple times last night, what do you think the Warriors will do if the Celtics make some boneheaded plays? You'll see a 15 point lead ERASED within three or four minutes.

Nesmith would he great in the Finals

Youth, Athleticism, Agility he brings would he vital to chase the Warriors through screens and run them off the 3 point line

If he can hit 3 threes a game, it would be great

The series will be good experience for the Celtics but the Warriors are winning this. They've been here too many times and are healthier than the Celtics.

I still can't get used to hearing the Warriors are the healthier team in a matchup after the last 2 years.

Laker fans are rooting against the Celtics just because they're the Celtics.

Raptors had a 6pt lead with 3 minutes left in the 4th, what does KD have to do with that?

The Finals I've wanted since the first round ended.
