Series Thread: 1) Celtics vs. 6) Pacers

[realityball]

The reality is the Celtics have had less playoffs injury-luck than any team the last 7-8 years

you mean more luck no? … that’s always been part of the game … but basketball is probably the epitome of team sport no?

This ignores that kemba initially hurt his knee in the bubble


That kg injury alone cost the Celtics at least 2 titles (especially when combined with perk one and nba rigging game 7)

They’re playoff chokes. It’s just that there hasn’t been a viable opponent this year for that to be an issue. Congrats though on championship number 2 since Larry Bird’s back fell apart. You keep showing up and some times the universe just hands ya shit. This probably feels like the Red Auerbach days where you hoist a banner in an 8 team league.

It’s a shame the rest of his roster took a dump in their shorts and they went home

Playing tonight. Get a clue, Q.

I see … sorry …
I guess they’re ‘paying the price’ now … with all the resentment

You lost to a Knicks team missing half their roster…

With the fraudulent 2023 mvp

After the worthlessly long season to remove the the best and biggest players. In a January playoffs you know what would have happened because Embiid. Best player in the game.

"Celtics avoid Embiid every year because the league let's him get beat up because he's The Process" - Things you know already.

The Celtics as a worse team last year sent home a far better sixers team, with embiid.

They’ve sent him home multiple times already

Many of them absolutely are chokes

You’re the fucking worst. You’re the new RTK…some trailer trash Delco fuck that makes all of us look bad.

Make the playoffs matter

Give the 1 seed a bye or something

They pretty much do.

 

[The Q]

They pretty much do.

Zinger got injured in round 1

I’d say a bye would matter

 

[UK Cowboy]

Dallas lost 2 games again the clippers without kawhi

A better player than anyone the Celtics missed….

The Mavs beat OKC with SGA and are about to beat the Wolves with Antman, two players better than anyone the Celtics have faced

And they wouldn’t even be there with a healthy kawhi

Those in glasses houses….

Arguably the most talented team for most of those years too so yes impressive but not that impressive. If they lose the title this year no Boston fan will care about any of those postseason wins.
They will most likely be a heavy favorite too even without Zinger

They would have still beat the clippers imo
