It wouldn't surprise me for a second for the Celts to lay an egg. If Smart is good to go, I say play him and do your best to finish this up in Boston friday, because you know the Warriors are going to take care of business tomorrow.

Hope the Warriors get that series over with. But yeah wouldn’t surprise of either team or both teams tonight lay an egg. Hopefully it’s a fun and exciting game so you have to stress it.

Hopefully Dallas can stretch that series out another game or two so the old guys are tired. Boston has run the true gauntlet if they make it to the finals. KD and Kyrie Nets in Rd 1, defending Champ Bucks in Rd 2, and the #1 seed in Rd 3.

True.


If the Celts win the chip, no way anyone can say it was cheap.

But you’re talking about the Nets without Harden and Bucks without Middleton right? Still awesome

Every team can't be full of all-stars we'd only have about 10 teams. Maybe that would be good though.

This was the series I expected. Brutal shooting, tough defense and low scoring games.

I was worried for a moment there. But one team did break 40.

I feel like this series is the $hitty version of the Celtics/Bucks series.

Both stars aren’t shining bright. Hopefully Butler and Tatum put on a show in the 2nd half.

Celtics too careless with the ball. I expect a heat win going away by mid 4th quarter.

What does Embiid have to do with this? My team lost in the second round. It sucked. But you don’t see me grasping at straws to make excuses for it. The better team won.
you want to be difficult and do things like equate explanations with excuses huh?

sounds like you're the one playing make believe by pretending others are making arguments they aren't

not even the Nuggets/Jokic fans' desperate struggle to cope (as you would put it) with their round 1 loss?

Damn. Celtics with the lockdown defense in the third. Heat with 16 points in that quarter.
