Oh and win doc has a 3-1 or 3-2 lead …
The other team starts to celebrate
Celtics (and Bucks) were always safer picks as the better teams, but for the first time in the Embiid era enough had lined up that they were capable of getting it done, so I figured that and desperation/urgency (other than Horford, no prominent Celtic is old or rumored to be signing elsewhere/fired) would push them over the hump.
But it clearly needed to happen in game 6 with the Celtics reeling. Tatum was overdue an explosion and the double big lineup has stifled them.
Miami’s magical run will end against Boston. They started coming back down to earth in the Knicks series.
Butler and bam will have to be special
Celtics over Heat in 5
Nuggets over Lakers in 6
Silver : “I have a counter proposition: Celtics vs Lakers”
Maybe so, but but in addition to not having home court, unlike previous series, the Lakers won't have the best player in this one too and on top of that Jokic is bad matchup, given Davis/any other viable option's lack of girth.
Boston strikes again
That’s just to have a chance. Boston has more weapons and guys to throw at both of them.
Lakers didn’t have HCA vs Golden State either
Jimmy wasn't right in that Knicks series. If he's healthy, we always have a chance.
Jimmy Buckets is injured. The ankle is swollen.
I know. I'm saying this will be a double whammy.
Didn’t have it vs Grizz either
Denver is the deserved favorite
I wouldn’t bet money on the Lakers but I also would have bet warriors in 7
Actually enjoying this team but for a 7th seed that was thrown together at the trade deadline…
Making the WCF is a huge accomplishment plus a rookie head coach and an injured Bron …
For me it’s always championship or bust when you are legit contenders but I never thought we were that
Hopefully they continue to prove me wrong
oh the usual bs.. gave celts momentum with a dumb tech, jacked 3s, lazy passes, no defense… like I said as usual
You brought up a good point tho, vs Phoenix the Nuggets were much better at home except game 6 of course
It’s important they protect HC in the CF
ah ok
classic harden
Every season Embiid waits til - the start of the playoffs to get injured…
he and chrissy paul are just experts at sabotaging their teams after giving them hope all season long…
honorable mention: kawhitter!
Nah. Butler is fine. Dude was allowed to coast and have his team pick up the slack the rest of the series. If that ankle was truly an issue, he wouldn’t be playing.
He’s healthy. He is playing. He’ll be fine.
Same final 4 as the bubble year
God damn, Doc Rivers is snake-bit. May be the end of him as a coach after this, or maybe not, lol.
Celtics won the series like I expected. Didn’t need to have a “high level of basketball takes” to call that one. But actually this was more on Embiid/Harden just being mental midgets than on Doc.
What does Doc do to help them overcome their mental migitry?
