The Wizards/Sixers would have provided a SIGNIFICANTLY better challenge to the Cavs than the Celtics missing their 2 best players and The career playoff choking Raptors did. Cavs dodged a bullet for sure.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

So does facing teams that either aren't ready (Pacers) or are missing their 2 best players (Celtics).

Tatum, Brown, Horford, Rozier, and Morris all had their moments vs the Cavs.

The Celtics have the best coach in the playoffs and that goes a long way.....

Lol.

Are you serious right now?

Are really trying to make the argument that the Celtics didn't miss Kyrie and Hayward? Really?!?

I never said that, did I?

What I meant.....they gave them a hell of a run for their money and earned some valuable experience that they'll surely learn from and help them develop in the future.

Yes, you actually did...or at least implied it.


I think the Cavs would have beat any team in the EC if they had squared off.....James was an absolute fucking beast.

Then, that's what you should have said. But you didn't.

the Cavs would have beat any eastern conference team.


If they shoot like Helen Keller and score 26 points less then they’ve averaged during the post season at home.

If before the game someone tells you if Boston scores 90+, they’d win, would you think Cavs would have stood a chance?

And no, im not implying the Cavs got lucky or didn’t deserve to win.
They hit the big shots.

Boston layed a choke job of epic proportion.

Youth or no youth, you are shooting the same shots you practice every single day. At home.
The shooting was so bad it became contagious.

You gotta be good to establish a "choke job". No one ever called this Celtics offense any GOOD enough to TO choke.

Its not a real surprise the Celtic's offense was so poor last night. They just don't have hardly any good offensive players on that team outside of 20 year old Tatum,

If you gotta run you're offense through a 20 year old and Al freaking Horford, you're in for a real battle.

This wasn't really a choke. The Celtics just SUCK on offense. I said it before the series started, thats gonna be where their problem lies. And of course it bit them in the arse in the end.

I can't believe this series even went 7

8 straight finals trips mean nothing if you don't win the majority of them at least. It even means LESS than that when you're playing the Celtics missing their 2 best players in a conference finals and shoot like Ray Charles in the finals . ROLFMAO.

Big deal. Its not worth that much hype. Win the title earn the hype. Another loss and its another loss. We don't play for 2nd place. We play for championships last I checked

Of course they are missing them but Hayward didn’t play one game and Kyrie is alwaysx injured. So no surprises here. Shit, Kyrie might never be the same and C’s could be saying “what if” for as long as Kyrie is there. Doesn’t matter if he is never on the court or when it counts. You can’t miss something you never had

LeBron certainly does.
If he loses period, to the ‘better’ team, or not, its a wasted season for HIM.
