Series Thread: 2nd Round: 2) Boston Celtics vs 3) NY Knicks

[realityball]

I'm assuming this is a troll post.

not a troll, just adding to my insane banter of an actual chance the celts could come back …

It'll eventually swing back the other way. Always does. I can remember when the West was the weaker conference.

Me either

True. I remember when Kobe blew his Achilles. He was limping noticeably, but didn't seem to be in as much pain as Tatum.

I don't know enough about Achilles to know if that's good or bad.

Maybe the pain means he broke something (foot, ankle)? That would actually be better. It would still cost him the rest of the playoffs, but he'd be good to go by training camp.

Just came across this tweet and lines up with what I said....guess we'll see

Can make a damn good case about the east being better in 2023

Not seeing it

You don't have to see it. The numbers are obvious

 

[The Q]

Celtics gonna trade jrue and zinger to get under the apron

 

[bksballer89]

Top 4 in the east had 58, 57, 54, and 51 wins

Top 4 in the west had 53, 51, 48, and 45 wins

What are you talking about lol east was the better conference that year

 

[bksballer89]

The Heat would have got in the playoffs without the play-in had they been in the west that year

Obvious huh? lol

The bottom was worse

It was probably pretty balanced overall that year

 

[bksballer89]

Obvious huh? lol

Go look at the standings. East was better that year as a conference

Not much to debate

45 wins getting you HCA in round 1 tells me all I need to know about a down year in a conference

 

[bksballer89]

Not really

11-15 in the east had 35 wins ( 2 teams), 34, 27, and 17.

11-15 in the west had 38, 37, 33, and 22 ( 2 teams)

I will give you that 11-15 in the west was slightly better than 11-15 in the east but 1-10 in the east was better. It was a rare year but east had the better conference that season to me

 

[bksballer89]

Top 4 in the east went 83-37 vs the west that year

Top 4 in the west went 71-49 vs the east that year

As I said the east was clearly the better conference that year

If so it clearly was not a trend

 

[bksballer89]

I mean yeah it was a 1 yr deal but last year the east was damn good as well but the west picked it up

The 7th and 8th seed in the east last season had 47 and 46 win

Bottom of the east was ass but 1-8? Damn good conference last season as well

This year was just a disaster primarily due to the Miami/Jimmy situation and the Sixers injuries. Those are 2 teams that everyone would have had at mid 40's for one ( Miami) and low 50's for the other entering training camp

This was probably gonna happen championship or not, especially with new owners coming in.

I really really hate this for Tatum and it sucks for Cs fans right now, but the plan worked. Went all in with big money for a small window and they got a championship

Well it could’ve only been one

But now it should be both

Reset

Unfreeze your pick and get some younger legs to develop around them

Damn...that's effed up...and it was so close to the end of the game too.
Really hate to see something like that happen. Hope he recovers and gets back next season at some point.
