Series Thread: NBA championship: Celtics vs Mavs

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

It's damn near a week before game 1.
What are some of you in here gonna do with all that free time now??

Watch the Stars and hope they don’t spit the bit.

ESPN will have the cheese rolling contest on I think.

Maybe they’ll add extra coverage of the ACL (Cornhole), riveting stuff I tell ya.

Being reported Porzingus is expected to play game 1

Being reported Porzingus is expected to play game 1

It has been over a month since the injury now... sounds about right.

It's good the Celtics have dominated lesser teams (even without a key guy like Porzingis)... they've had the luxury of not having to rush Zinger back.

Wife's daughter had to go to hospital to work so the whole crew just showed up.

Got a high 5 from little Demetrius.

Good thing I picked up some beer yesterday.

Things will be lit here later.

That could be the difference in the series if he is close to full strength.

Meh. Celtics had an easy pass and according to most pundits the J s choke and will this time too

Did they not have an easy pass due to all the injuries? You used to be a good poster

Ignoring all the injuries their opponents had is just being ignorant

I don't think most pundits think the Celtics duo will choke as much as the Mavs duo is better. Luka is the best player this postseason and Irving is a pretty damn good sidekick.

 

[bksballer89]

3rd best player being out is not the same as all of your opponents being without THEIR BEST PLAYER AND OTHERS

Let's take Tatum or Brown and a few others off Boston and let's see if they beat a healthy Miami, Cleveland, or Indiana team

Most teams are not going to win a best of 7 series when they are missing their best player and others

The Celtics had a very similar road to the Finals that the Nuggets had last year.

Nuggets opponents weren’t bad because of injury. They were just bad.

**Ignoring all the injuries their opponents had is just being ignorant

Hey where's your outrage that the '15 Warriors beat an injured Cavs team, or that the '16 Cavs beat a dinged up Warriors team, or that the '19 Raptors beat an injured Warriors team? Didn't Pat Riley say some really stupid shit after the '20 Finals?

It should be a helluva series.

You are clearly missing my point and showing how slow you are. You brought up 1 series per year.

Also the 16 Cavs only beat the Warriors because of Draymond. Warriors had a 3-1 lead with game 5 at home

And I don't have outrage. Celtics fans act like they can't admit they gotten a pass/had an easier road due to ALL of their opponents is my beef. Can't compare KP being out to teams missing their #1.

They very well may be in the finals if Miami and Cleveland were healthy but would have needed more than 5 games to get by both

I said similar, not the same.

Denver did not beat a 50 win team last year.
