Boston got lucky that Miami didn’t have Butler and Rozier. The Cavs would give Boston with no KP a 6 game series but lose I mean the Cavs have Mitchell and size of Mobley and Allen. If the Bucks somehow comes back 3-1 from the Pacers and they win. Giannis and Dame might comeback and they’ll beat the Knicks or Philly in the second round and the Bucks beats Boston in the ECF

7 game series is better for Porzingis to have time to return

one way to beat this Celtics Team is to put the best defender to Tatum or double him and then have a media post something like Jaylen is better than Tatum 😂

My Celtics been knocking on the door for too long to let Porzingus be the reason they lose. Porzingus hasn’t proven himself in the playoffs this is the best regular season he’s had tho he averaged 24 a night in Washington

Bruh… The celtics won by 30 and JT took 9 shots. There should be no real challenge before the finals.

The constant, undeserved belief in a team that has CONSISTENTLY for years and years played below their roster is insane to me.

The only team that could challenge the Boston Celtics is the Boston Celtics. They do this year in and year out, they’re always the best, most dominant team to come into the playoffs but then they’ll typically have a mistake-filled game or shoot themselves out of a game in every series. But when they’re on, nobody’s beating them. Realistically, the only team I see giving Boston some trouble is the Knicks but even then it’s not anymore than a 6 game series. Denver’s the one team out of all that can give Boston the most trouble.

Hey, Steven, Miami could score too, but the C’s held them to SEASON lows in scoring for 3 consecutive games……the last half of that without Porzingus.

As a Golden State Warriors fan, I hope the Celtics win it all. Number of reasons:
1. Pisses Stephen A off the fact the Knicks haven’t won a chip in 51 years encounting…..
2. Retribution for 2022, Larry Bird can rub it in Magic’s face the Celtics have 18 chips to the Lakers 17.
3. Boston is hands down THE best sports town with the greatest fans, PERIOD.
4. Boston HATES NY sports teams the way SF HATES LA sports teams, that’s a fact.

Lane is way more open with AL which makes the game easier at times, ball moves faster, more open shots. It’s a + against the cavs maybe knicks… We’ll see

Stephen A is talking about last year’s Celtics. The 23-24 Celtics just showed they are not messing around by putting Miami away.

The Celtics if without KP, can play small ball just like the Warriors. Celtics’ starting 5 can shoot 3’s. Their bench are sharpshooters, Hauser and Payton Pritchard.
