Has anyone mentioned that the Celtics only got here because they faced injured opponents yet?

The Celtics road to the Finals was as easy as anyone ever because they faced injured opponents.

But they were clearly the best team in the East all season long and they probably would have got here playing the top teams at their best.

So I am going to push back on anyone that tries to claim that in the only reason the Celtics are here.

A lot depends on both the availability and %-level health of Porzingis. It'd be great to have the Unicorn's defensive ability at the 5 in pick n roll situations... to say nothing of his shooting and skill on offense.

Kyrie-revenge series versus Zinger-revenge series (against old teams) is a nice sub-plot here.

Seems like a really great match-up.

Luka is amazing.

Real MVP, Luka, the best player in the league, is in the series. Make sure you watch.

Rooting for the Mavs, but the Celtics having White and Holiday to cover Luka and Kyrie will be the difference in this series.

They also didn’t have zinger, who was, again, better or as good as many of the guys they missed.

Well, their path to the Finals was easier than Dallas.....kind of like Denver last season in the WC.
