Finals!

Right? :lol:


What are you laughing at? You were here spitting your little positive BS all year. Don’t back track now. Talk up Joe and this **** team..

I've been positive all year, but I'm not the one guaranteeing the finals is a sure thing for the Celtics.

In fact, I know you saw my repeated posts about the Cs having a bigger chance of winning it next year, right?

I'm positive about this whole situation, but I never guaranteed a finals for the Celtics.

It was just yesterday that I said the Celtics have a tendency to shoot themselves in the foot.

Maybe if we actually consistently ran the offense through him, things would have looked different offensively. Instead it’s an equal opportunity offense, which is fine when the other team can’t score.

My concern, which I’ve brought up repeatedly, is that this team has lost its hierarchy offensively, and I was concerned that they wouldn’t adapt when the game called for it.

The game called for it tonight, and nothing changed.

LOL.


Where’s your passive aggressive posts about all the mistakes White made tonight?

Anyone can do that. I won't even feel the need to defend him when he has a subpar game.

Jaylen Brown has .495 TS% and he's one of the better ones tonight. Yet people will say we lost because Tatum is soft.

White was bad. But that's pretty rare. Not worried about a repeat.

This is such a soft ass group. Anytime the game is tight they fold. This game was over in the early third.

If you think they have a better chance next year than this year you’re more clue less than I thought you were. If Jimmy Butler was there they probably would have lost in round 1! This team sucks.

And I get lambasted when I say the Cs will not win if the fans believe the coach is bad, JT is soft, not a true alpha, and Cs can't execute in the clutch.

I mean if all those things are true, we should be expecting something like this to happen, right?

Just your casual 30 point home playoff loss to a team missing two of their starters.

Nothing to see here.

Leaving guys wide open for 3s, just like Game 2 vs, Miami.
