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

Nets had two players then a bunch of junk it seems. Bucks for sho’ tho’

RogerGodahell · 05-25-2022, 07:41 PM

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

RogerGodahell · 05-25-2022, 07:51 PM

Did someone put Reynolds wrap over the Heat basket?

For those of you who hate blowouts: I present to you this.

No team can buy a bucket right now.

Not surprised with these two teams.

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

Siberian13 · 05-25-2022, 08:42 PM

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

blackbears86 · 05-25-2022, 08:42 PM

Ugly first half. Very physical.

You wanted close games. You got one.

tjforce · 05-25-2022, 08:46 PM

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

Yeah I want too much. Close, competitive and fun game.

Siberian13 · 05-25-2022, 08:52 PM

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

blackbears86 · 05-25-2022, 08:53 PM

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?

Onepocketj · 05-25-2022, 09:27 PM

Holy airballs

blackbears86 · 05-25-2022, 09:32 PM

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

RogerGodahell · 05-25-2022, 09:32 PM

Decent 11 pt lead. Just need a solid 4th from the C's.
