Ant needs to score or handle the ball every possession now.

The East is garbage. Said it going in, whoever wins the West wins it all and I stand by it. If the Celtics were out West I’d be surprised if they made it past the 2nd round.

I think the Celtics record is a little inflated because how awful the East is but they are an elite team in the West as well. They are deep, multiple elite shot makers, multiple elite defenders, multiple people who can create their own shot. Coaching and clutch time when the game slows down is the only slight weaknesses i think they have.

I’d be backing Boston and that’s despite them having a tendacy to go walkabout at least 1-2 games. Just feel they will be a bit better

Does anyone seriously think the Celtics are taking more than 1 game off either of these teams?

I have the opposite belief. Celtics will kill both

Refs have been putrid all year but have been laughable today so many soft or non calls

 

[Memphis]

Damn this one is over the fairytale for the wolves is done.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

[kreuze_missile]

Luka getting fouled about 5 times every possession just walking the ball up.

Don’t get me wrong, I still rate the Celtics. Just don’t think they are as good as everyone says, and I seriously doubt many if any of their Eastern competitors would’ve made it past the play in out West this season.

Oh i agree with all of that, i just think the Celtics are still an elite team in the West.

East is weak but Celtics without Porzingis probably lose to Mavs but with a fit Porzingis I think they will win since he gives the others so much more space to score.

Mavs just matchup too well against Timberwolves, like how the Wolves matched up against Denver

 

[Magnum27]

Now i will be first to admit i have not seen a lot of T Wolves games, but watching the play -offs how did Gobert get defensive player of the year, he looks ordinary defensively.

 

[Borough Blood]

Best shooting big man of all time?

We are 23-7 vs west teams most on here have no idea about that.

They talk more as if we have a 15-15 record.
