OT: Celtics / Sixers - Series

[Kdo5]

ehh...

The Sixers were beating up on terrible teams during their streak, and the Cavs are Lebron and Love and prayers.

Hence the '

I think the Sixers are and have been overrated. The Cavs should be in the Finals if Kevin Love plays at a high level. But I can see the Celtics putting up a good fight and taking the Cavs to 6.

Last season it was hopeless from the get go when you had to go against Lebron, Love and Irving.

Rebounding has not been an issue. It is leaps and bounds better than last year. Yeah they might have a game where a team grabs a frustrating amount of offensive rebo

They are a middle of the road rebounding team.

The current Celtics roster I feel, when healthy, could have been competitive against any other Finals team going back to the Shaq Lakers. Except this Warriors team. I just don’t see anyone being able to take 4 of 7 from them. It’s crap but this Warriors team is just stupid unfair.

I think a healthy celtics team could have pushed them. If we had all our guys. A good tough nose defensive team can give them problems.

If Durant had gone literally anywhere else besides the Warriors or Cavs the league would be so much wider open.

Right but it's not as if they are a bad rebounding team. Rebounding isnt an issue that is losing us games.

The biggest concern ever since Hayward went down and especially Irving was "how are they going to score?". They have managed to compensate for those losses with the progress of Brown/Tatum and the emergence of Rozier coupled with being an elite defensive team.

Warriors getting crushed by Anthony Davis.

Houston would have won 70+

D Rebounding they are ok.

O Rebounding they are weak.

Tyson Chandler in his prime would be perfect.

The Cs could use another big for rebounding, but any idea that next year's team of Irving and Hayward plus these guys couldn't compete with anyone is nonsense. Those ideas discount 2 important factors: Stevens' coaching and the colossal collective balls of this team..

Rondo has almost 20 assists. Not much scoring wise.

That's Rondo for you. He is an excellent floor general and certainly a big reason why the Pelicans are where they are.

 

[PaulNEPats]

Playoff Rondo is a force

What?! You have that completely backwards. The Cavs are trash defensively. I could see the Cavs taking the Celtics to six. But there is no way in hell they are winning a series against Boston. They shouldn't even have beaten Indiana.

It night be painful for the C's today. Hope they can weather the storm. They haven't looked good on the road at all.

Time to crush some Philly souls

You are the most negative figgan poster on this board.

I am telling you how it is. Don't give me that positive BS! Just get 1 out of 2 in philly. That's all you can ask for. You would expect philly to respond back home.
