That's true.

Playoff pressure got to him.

Assuming we got out of the East, we are on a collision course with Denver.

I don't see us getting over the Nuggets in a 7 game series unless our 3-point shooting in that series goes mental. That's the only way we could win over them considering how incredibly inconsistent the Jays are. I would love to be proven wrong though.

Doesn't matter.

What's important is the Cs get to the finals.

Anything can happen in the finals.

If this trend continues, there will be no animals left in the playoffs next week.

Brunson the dawg, Mitchell the dawg, an Ant, and a Kat might all be eliminated this week.

We'll still have a Buffalo.

I forgot about that one.

That Buffalo will still be playing until the final buzzer of the last game of the season.

In some people's telling, we'll have a P Rabbit just as long.

That’s the only series i want us to chuck off as many 3’s as we can. While mixing it up a little. We can’t have close games against them.

That's close to impossible.

Even last season all the Nuggets vs. Celtics games were close.

So if it's Denver vs. Boston in June, almost all the games will be close.

It's just too hard to blowout the Nuggets.

Nuggets are tough. I said after game 2 that I wouldn't count out the possibility of the Nuggets winning the next two games in Minny. Hope Boston take care of things in the East because I really need to see how they measure up against the champs.

If they can’t get out of the east they wouldn’t measure up well…so you will know one way or another unless Denver doesn’t make it.

What a story though if Dallas somehow makes the finals and it faces Boston.

Luka vs. Tat

Kyrie vs. the city of Boston

The drama!

We can if we shoot lights out from 3. Both games came down the last minute, with JT and the team in general, shot poorly from 3. They shot 31 and 29%. If we shoot a good precentage, we blow them out. We just need that for 4 games.

OKC haven’t been anywhere near as good away from home and showing more vulnerability now too.

I think Cs can shoot lights out in a 7-game series for 2 games.

Just like what happened in 2022, against GSW.

I noticed that too!

Even shots they regularly make during the regular season are now missing.

Was hoping Minny could upset the Nuggets here. Still am, but will be hard to see past Denver now.

Denver will win the next 2 games.

Ant is going back to the ant farm.

Return to Boston Celtics
