    Spooky Boston coach rallying his injury plague team to get dem wins. Mentally tough celtics, rookies stepping up. Idk if da gm is a genius, da coach us gud, the players just dam gud or everybody is 2 dam gud.

    If the Celtics got past the Sixers. It would be a coin flip with the Raptors and Celtics.

    At that point the Celtics would get slaughtered by the Rockets or Warriors.

    Rozier is just balling, Celtics played a perfect game almost and Sixers defended the 3 horribly. I expect a much closer game 2 and Sixers could definitely steal home court.

    You underestimate Brad Stevens, but I think they could fight for 2 wins.

    As much as I give them credit, Philly plays a more attractive game, I would like to see them advance further.

    Boston, I mean.....

    1) They have their coach for the next 30 years.
    2) They have an elite GM in Ainge....
    3) Blue chip talent in Tatum, Brown, Terry, Irving, Hayward....
    4) A treasure trove of draft picks.

    Just.....man.

    Ironically, if this team wins a title or goes to NBA championship, he very likely won't be best player on the team.

    Once Boston got out hot Brett Brown should've called a timeout to stop that **** immediately. Instead, huge uninterrupted run by the Celtics.
