The heart of these Celtics. Goodness, its in their dna!

you ain't no C's fan, Debbie Downer...do you even remember what you post ?

"Not good. C's not making shots"

Nothing is EVER any good as far as YOU are concerned. The Pats suck, the draft sucks, the players suck, the C's suck....a continual avalanche of suck 24/7 from you. Open a vacuum cleaner company...you'll make millions.

Look whose talking. Mr sunshine. Would be nice to show a pulse once in awhile lol instead of that boring positive attitude.

We are up 2-0 in round two with a depleted roster. Our Celtics have heart and we should just enjoy the ride, trophy or not.

Kyrie has got to be saying something like:

"On the one hand, my boys are doing a great job and look to be headed to the conference finals even without myself and Hayward. They'll probably lose there, because they've got nobody to even slow down LeBron and they're going to have to beat both the Cavs and the officials, but the young guys are doing great and getting important minutes."

"On the other hand, if my knee had held up for just a couple more months, we'd have probably beaten the Cavs in five, and be in position to at least give Golden State a fight."

The Celtics are feisty!

The Cavs will get absolutely smoked by whomever comes out of the Rockets/Dubs series.

And lmfaooooo at Ben Simmons.

Agreed, probably something like that. Next year is going to be awesome, hopefully they can stay healthy.

Unless LeBron goes to Philly. Then I'm not sure if the C's are still second fiddle in the East.

Cousins is one of the best rebounders in basketball though and there are only so many rebounds to go around on one team. And the reason Cousins got so many assists is that he plays with Davis. There's no better all-around player in basketball.

nope

Oh most definitely, that would be terrible, is that a possibility? First I've heard about it, been staying around from talking heads/sports radio lately..

there's only one ball on the floor.......I don't see the sixers taking him on....they're in the same position as the C's......they need more experience and bringing in King James will stunt that IMO

If the Celts want to feel disrespected, all they need to do is read this thread and other Celtics threads. Their own fans keep saying what they can’t do. Making the playoffs without Hayward is going to be hard (and if they had known about Kyrie ... imagine). Can’t win this game. Lucky to get 2 games in this series. Jeez!! I am not discounting this team against anyone .... let alone a team that should have lost to the Pacers for goodness sakes.

or Paul George

Not picking Fultz and trading down for Tatum and getting another high lottery pick (I highly doubt the Kings make a sudden turn around) was such a stroke of genius. This rookie class is crazy strong that's why there was more talk about Simmons and Mitchell but 4 playoff 20+ points games in a row for a just turned 20 years old,skinny rookie is so special. Superstar potential.

Next year is going to be fun.

Smart is really big for the C’s. They had a shot of him as they went to timeout early in the 4th and he was smiling and laughing like “We got this”. At one point there was a switch and Smart was on Embid. Instead of taking him down low, Embid headed for the 3 point line. He intimidates the other team.

Best moment of the game was Simmons running down the court on the fast break and Smart just takes the ball right out of his hands like a big brother beating up on his little brother.

Funny thing is Philly never even needed to trade up. Boston was taking Tatum no matter what as was LA with Lonzo. I do think Fultz will be a very good though.

People said that when he joined the Heat and then the Cavs again as well. That argument didn't hold water then and it wouldn't hold water in this situation due purely to the fact that James is one of the best (if not THE best) distributor in the game. Give him quality teammates and he's shown to be unstoppable in the East. That's not to save that the C's aren't a damn good team. They are. But they would still be second fiddle to that Philly team with James added.
