Celtics 2024-2025 Discussion

This OKC/DEN game is a slugfest.

Did a doctor tell you what it was? I’m honestly just curious. Like I said, I know he’s desperate to get out there, I really just feel bad for the guy, and the team. But mostly, of course, I feel bad for myself.

Yes, It was really strange. I got checked out really well (especially the ticker) and the doctor said that it was a virus but not one of Fauci's and to come back if it kept up for more than a couple of days, which it didn't. The funny thing is that the doctor was the spitting image of the vet in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
The weird thing is that I could feel fine at times but then the fatigue and nausea would start when I got up and I just had to lie down and it would go away. In total it was bothersome for about two weeks.

Again, sorry you went though that ordeal.

So his doppelgänger is Dr. Caldera?

Today's OKC/DEN game did not surprise me. OKC is the superior team.

THIS game surprised me.

I didn’t see the first 3 quarters. Just saw the score pop up at halftime. You were right about this series.

Denver really had a chance to essentially win that series. So many unforced errors and missed quality shots.

I still think CLE is the better team. Indy is rolling.

I'm not sure the Cavs have the runway to stop it.

Seeing his picture now I can see how close he really was to Dr Caldera. I didn't mention it to the doctor though. He was all business.

Yeah then gets traded to the *insert here* team and wins the MVP next year.

There's a saying in sports.. if you limp into the season you limp out of it...

Indy has really impressed me.. they appear the be the hungrier team.. if we get past the Knicks.. they are a tough match up for us..

Why are you talking about going limp?

I definitely understand where you're going.. the thing with KP is he's has numerous different types of ailments and the common denominator is unavailability.. same thing with Leonard, ingram, williamson ,embid, George, those guys are always unavailable to thier teams. These owners invested in max contracts or close to it in these guys and they play 30 to 40 games if that a season.. KP is a competitor and I'm sure it's killing him not to be available like he wants to be.

Well.. like a hooker on the Vegas strip.. drain you til u go limp...

When I looked at the matchups, Indy blocks a lot of shots, get a lot of steals and defend the 3 well. So far they have 28 blocks and 25 steals in 4 games and are holding CLE to 30% from 3pt. I didn't think Garland would be himself but I figured CLE still in 6-7 games.

...now Mitchell is hurt w/ the ankle. MRI is this morning.

CLE is in serious trouble.

Yes! Good stats there RW.. can always rely on you to provide to good information. Yes indy is athletic, young and hungry. They got deep in the playoffs last season.. yes to your point Cleveland is in trouble they had a great regular season..but health and availability of thier key guys is thier detriment this year.

Yep. Big game tonight. Such a killer to blow TWO games like they did, because there's so little margin for error now. There can always be a game where someone on the Knicks/multiple guys plays out of their minds, and then that's another loss. It all starts with defensive intensity, taking care of the ball, playing smart.

Agreed.. the Knicks look like a lethargic team that Detroit series seems like it wore on them.. plus those guys play a ton of minutes. Hope we can have a good display tonight and come back to Boston riding high.

I think it has shown up a ton in this series and the longer it goes the worse it is for the Knicks imo. They looked gassed early last game and that 10 percent less energy can be destructive.

Agreed. Tibs plays those guys alot of minutes and it's showing.. plus Detroit is a ultra physical team.. and we'll coached.
We need to take care of business and win this series becuase that young and hungry team the Pacers will be waiting for us.

Cleveland burned themselves out getting the 1 seed/homecourt to beat the Celtics lol

Indy would be tough but I still think the Celtics are the better team - whether they're better than Denver/OKC still not sure

They're definitely better than the Knicks and should be going for the sweep tbh, but take care of business tonight and I think they have this series for sure.
