Wizards would have won 2 games anyways. Certainly no embarrassing sweep like this shit. Bulls with rondo would have won 2 games at least as well

Same Wizards that lost to this embarrassing team?

Because the losses were recent and it was in the playoffs. Once Rondo went down, the Celtics benefitted significantly.

So, Rondo getting hurt made all the difference.

But Thomas getting hurt has no impact on your evaluation of the Celtics in this series.


It's not that hard to watch the games, try it sometime.

Thomas wasn't doing Anything this series. It would have made ZERO difference. Rondo made all the difference in the series against Boston. Bulls would have swept this crud Boston team if rondo doesn't go down

Yes boston gets knocked out in the 1st if rondo doesnt get hurt. Bulls had no back up PG. huge difference. Proof was in the pudding

Boston is actually playing half decent ball tonight. Where was this team the first two games? So they're better without Thomas or what?

I'm mainly just watch to listen to sir Charles at halftime. Then turn it off. It's impossible to watch 48 minutes of the worst conference games in NBA history

Yes.

Miami matched up horribly with what the Celtics do.

Miami has wretched defensive guards. Isaiah would have averaged 40 a game and Bradley/Smart/Rozier/Crowder would have given Dragic and Waiters fits.


A horrible matchup is Celts vs Cavs.
Healthy Heat would have been a tougher opponent.
Hell, how could any team be a lesser opponent?
Celts are breaking the wrong kind of records.

Yeah.

You shouldn't let your anger make you talk dumb.


Thomas got hurt in game 6 vs the Wizards. All NBA 2nd team, 3rd leading scorer in the NBA. I'm sure having him healthy wouldn't have made any difference.

I agree, NBA taking major hit but will bounce back in the finals. To be honest it feels like NBA has been over for awhile. I just hope both cavs and GS stay healthy. Too many big injuries in these playoffs this year.

Yeah, much more convenient to put all your stock into those two Bulls losses than the other 94 they played to get to the ECF.

I'm sure you're right. The 41 win Heat were a wagon.

The 31-10 2nd half of season Heat was TONS better of a show then your Celts are providing for anyone left watching.

I hope Cavs/warriors are at full health too finally. We haven't had a finals yet where both teams were at full strength all series.

I just hope the refs don't go whistle crazy that's my only worry. It could be a great series if they let the teams play.

Good point. If you ignore all of the games where the Heat sucked, they had a great season.

You're ignoring why they sucked.
Even during that time, I believe their avg margin of loss was <6.
