most overrated #1 seed I can recall...and as you know, im a green teamer.

luckily, they didnt get atlanta...

they can beat the bulls. they may beat toronto in the 2nd if it works out. they may get to an ECF...

but they have no business in a title series. no size, cant rebound...the teams 2 best players are a 5-9 guard who shoots everything, and a 6-10 well rounded "doesnt do one thing really well" in horford.

theyre going to give jarebko minutes. that says it all.

Celtics will play the winner of Wash-Atl in the second round assuming they beat the Bulls.

I wasn't trying to change your point. Just updating you on the bracket.

that being said, celtics in 6 vs the bulls...

they can eat this team up if they stick to their game.

Smother Jimmy Butler all day, all the time

yup. the corpse of wade will get his 15 ppg, and we will let him. stop butler, stop the bulls.

sadly, the same blueprint applies to the celtics and thomas.

Yeah so overrated. I'm praying we don't get a Cavs/Celtics ECF. That will be ugly.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Celtics in 6, maybe 7.

 

[Carnzo]

Like most here Celts in 6, for this series in Thomas I trust.
Going forward is a question I can't answer.
Having a difficult time grasping they are the top seed in the round.

I don't think they beat Washington in the 2nd round, maybe Atlanta but I wouldn't have a whole lot of confidence in it. Though this is a very top heavy team and the playoffs will eliminate a lot of the stupid 2nd quarter rotations Stevens was putting out there that cost us a bunch of games. If everyone stays healthy we might be better than a lot of people(including me) are giving the Celts credit for.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Boston in 5

 

[WiggyRuss]

Celtics fully expect to face 'National TV Rondo'

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

Boston in 4 and Wade can go fuck himself.

 

[Vyle203]

I wouldn't necessarily say overrated. Most fans understand that the Celts aren't a finished product, they are actually still mid rebuild and will likely look very different next year. Even though they won a bunch of games I think most people aren't expecting much from them. The 1 seed is more a testament to just how inept the Eastern Conference is as a whole.

 

[purguy12]

I know I might sound like a Homer here but If "BIG IF" the Bulls can play like they do against better teams I think Bulls can pull out a win here. both teams split during the season and if Butler guards Thomas he should be able to slow him down. Im taking Bulls in 7 but I know the chances might be slim for a #8 to beat a #1 on the road.

 

[bksballer89]

Yes we are IT

"I watch TV, so I see all the B.S. that they talk and they're counting us out already,"

'Just crazy': Celts feel disrespected as No. 1

 

[BrockForBroglio]

Celtics with a lot more depth, but the best player on the court is Butler. I'm expecting a wild one.

You must not have seen very much of Isaiah Thomas......
