18 pts lead for PHI.

I know it is late but there goes our fairy tale ending of beating the past 3 champions in a legendary run :st-lol:

DEN -> OKC -> BOS
 
Boston could really use simons right now. No one get hit a shot.

They were so desperate to dump him. And then did it for an unplayable Vucevic who might be worse than Biyombo on defense.
 
Celtics only down 8 with an entire quarter left. And Embiid’s on the sidelines cause he got hurt yet again. This one ain’t over yet.
 
Celtics and Nuggets losing in the 1st round was not what I expected. They just had the worst matchups possible.
Fair, Celtics were always overhyped in my view (pumped up by Bill Simmons homerism in the national press). It was a lot to ask of Tatum, yes, but they also lost a lot of key cogs last summer.
 
Welp, this is about over. Fucking Knicks or Sixers actually going to the Finals tbh.
It depends on if Detroit wins tomorrow. If Detroit wins then it’s 50-50 when it comes to the Knicks or Sixers defeating them in the conference finals.

Legit loss is Korndog; Porzingis is useless.. and Al Haford shd have be retained as well

I felt losing Jrue, Kornet, and Porzingis was huge loses for them defensively.

Basically their whole C lineup. I know they had their warts as they aged, but they never replaced Hartford and KPs production either.
 
Jalen Brown is a good player, but he leaves me cold. If he wants all the smoke about being the man etc etc, he needs to elevate his teammates in these moments.
