Celtics — Easiest path to finals ever?

[Jrgum3]

Boston should be favored by virtue of their path

They’re probably the third best team

Maybe you're right I've been selling them short this whole time but that's because I don't trust them to win a best of seven series against a really good team which I think both Minnesota and Dallas are both good teams.

If they win easy tonite they might never even need to play poringis until he's 100%

This is their year for sure unless they fuk it up

I got over 213.5 1H tonight. Hoping for fast start for both teams.

Porzingis is a liability even when he’s healthy

 

[KingKolzig]

Tied at half game 1

 

[jjgold]

Struggling again at home

 

[kostasmalina]

So if Boston wins every game from now on by an average of 5-6 points... would you say you were wrong?

 

[flyingillini]

They look awful and very lucky to of survived that game.

 

[stormtrooper8]

Got away with it cuz they are playing a team that can't guard a fence post

I would not be surprised if they end up winning the whole thing and if they do , it is an embarrassment for the league.

I still think a team from the West is winning this thing but I don't trust Boston further than I can throw them. They have choked so many times in the past and they have a tendency to let teams hang around instead of putting them away. I feel like either Minnesota or Dallas can beat them because they have that killer instinct that Boston lacks.

Porzy is needed to win title

Carlisles fault. Up 3 with 8 seconds left you foul. Don't give them a chance to tie it

 

[jjgold]

It was terrible coaching, but you don’t get opportunities like that much. It has to be a letdown the rest of the series.

Yep series over we all know it

I’ll raise you one million dollars and offer up last years Nuggets. How soon we forget. Denver played a play in 8th seed, a play in 7th seed in the WCF and a play in finals opponent. It doesn’t get any easier than that.

Those teams were better than their seeds though

Lakers last year would handle this Pacers team

The Pacers are pretty on par with the 2021 Hawks that got to the ECF

That was a very bizarre year looking back. Bucks/Suns final lol

 

[stormtrooper8]

Teams approach the regular season differently

Mavs were obviously top 2 team in the west but were in the 5 spot

Teams don’t go all out in the regular season. So can’t just analyze but what their seed is

You have to remember the Mavs were a very different team before they made the in season acquistions of PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford. Minnesota went 3-1 vs Dallas in the regular season but they didn't face them after they made those moves. They're much better defensively now and have a legit third scorer in PJ Washington that they didn't have before.
