I’m scared of both. We might just have to start hanging ECF banners

JT gotta step his game up, esp with KP out. White can’t carry the team lol.

He could if they let him

If you're referring to me, I said they're good enough to beat us. Not that we can't beat them lol.

Did anyone really think no one could beat the Nuggets this year?

Before the playoffs started, a lot of Celtic fans here said the Nuggets will beat the Celtics in the finals.

Even Celtics reporter Bobby Manning said he will pick Denver to win over the Celtics if both teams meet in the finals.

Minnie is the better matchup for us. Jokic killed us both games this year.

I predict

1. We won’t play the Magic AND the Cavs.
2. We won’t play the Nuggets AND the Wolves.

Yeah, you're right.

But it would be sweeter if the Celtics take down the defending champs.

Ant's way more efficient and way better defensively

We won’t win the title if this continues, and I would drop money on that

Nuggets rightfully so were the favorites but I don't think anyone thought they were unbeatable.

Yeah, I agree.

Brunson has no KAT or Conley.

It's like what Brunson is doing now for the Knicks is what IT did for the Celtics in 2017.

Got to give credit for Ant Man playing elite basketball, even in the clutch, but Brunson has done more with less.

Well, you can check the posts from March.

Oh no the well-oiled clutch machine the Nuggets were forced to play a seed higher than the 5th?

I think it's Joe and the Celtics playing possum.

When it will really matter most, like in the east finals or NBA Finals, JT will start flexing his muscles.

Maybe it's a case of the Cs don't want another injury like what JT suffered in Game 7 of the east finals last year.

Nuggets blowing the last game of the year against the Spurs to lose the 1 seed is really coming back the bite them now.

Fierce1 · Post #1437 » by **Fierce1** » Sun May 5, 2024 1:38 am

What's happening to the NBA now is good for all.

Teams like Minny and OKC being in the conversation while teams like both LA teams and the Suns are all out of the 1st round.

This is a more balanced league IMO.

That's why the overreaction to every Celtic loss was silly.

With no super teams (2010-2014 heat and 2016-2019 warriors). Past nba champions need a lot of luck to fall there way.

And 2022-2023 nuggets had the easiest path to nba championship ever seeding wise for nba champions.
