Series Thread: NBA championship: Celtics vs Mavs

He's a celtics fan, a little whiny faggot.

Awesome input.

You really must kill it on the school yard with those faggot type comments.

On the first 2 pages of this thread alone, more than a half dozen posters picked the Mavs to win.

Just sayin'.

Selective reading.

Go back to the predictions thread and see how many have Boston

I'm not understanding the angle here. No one on the planet is viewing Boston as some kind of underdog

Fair enough on that front. I think the narratives that the Western Conference was a tougher gauntlet and that the C's had the easiest playoffs evah changed a lot of hearts and minds.

Oh... I wouldn't call them an underdog... no argument on that one.

They seem oddly opposed to calling their team really good and favorites. I guess some fanbases have a permanent chip on their shoulder. I said this earlier they don’t seem to be having much fun on this ride

Celtics fans have brain damage. What's hard to understand?

Some good news today that Zinger will play in game 3 but remain on minutes restriction.

 

[realityball]

The biggest story is they’re doing this with Tatum losing his touch

yeah, but he was 1 rebound short of a triple-double … so …

Yeah... but you're not being real: that's not all that's happening in this thread.

Plenty of haters giving off hate... so that'll lead to some chippy back and forth.

Jayson clearly was told to be the point guard in half court sets this series. They are doubling him

I agree with earlier comments that he is maturing and locked in with his role

When you lump a entire fan base with a personality then the discussions are heading south

Losers lol the playoffs predictions thread is our real picks and like you said damn near everyone (myself included) had them winning the title

Only for a very small number of fans.

It is fact that the Celtics had a historically easy route to the Finals.

It is also true that the Celtics have been by far the best team in the league all season.

Yes, there are more good teams in the West than the East. But so what?

The Celtics are better than all the teams in the West also.

… most see this years Celtics as a runaway train while Celtic fans are waiting for the train wreck … we’ve seen many in the past few years … they’re a great team that have not proven themselves
I’ll admit, I didn’t see them winning this thing until the 3rd Pacers game(!) when they didn’t collapse … so yeah … we emotional

It isn’t over yet.

But, 2 things:

First, this years group is hands down the best version of the Celtics in the Tatum/Brown era. So much talent on this team.

Second, there aren’t any great teams out there.

In the past, those train wrecks came against teams who were as good or better than them. Those teams don’t exist this year. And the teams capable of putting up some resistance either got beat, got hurt, or both.

oh thanks … just as I’m feelin’ it
