like i swear to god i understand homerism but every time the celtics beat these teams the narrative is like *how did you possibly fuck up this bad against the celtics* when there's a body of evidence suggesting that the celtics are just not going to get punked at home in the playoffs.

feels like the series where ben & joel take their lumps and kinda get embarrassed. happens to the best of them, truly!

yeah theyre young players, the offs is where u learn about the holes in yr game

ben simmons had 1 point total in the entire game

I had to look it up but thats not a lot

im not a math guy but i believe its the second lowest possible amount you can score

1 point is def more embarrassing than 0

personally i'm not into these new analyitcs

toronto collapsing vs the shittiest cavs team yet is really something boy

not convinced this cavs team is worse than last years

they just barely beat indy in first damn round!

they were the second worst defensive team in the whole nba!

kevin love is currently shooting ~10%!

if they still had last years team would kevin love be shooting differently?

im not trying to get into metaphysics here

i feel like the cavs basically have the same team

regardless lebron has zero respect for the raptors and just eats their souls in that arena

apparently andrew bogut played one (1) minute for the cavs last season

i remember that

Was that...Evan turner photoshopped on to Simmons because yikes. That’s not really what’s up but yeah this is when a young team takes its lumps

1 point wilt sign genuine lol

Yes otm x1000 why does no one just acknowledge that if you give brad a mediocre team he will annihilate you

Al Horford when guarded by Joel Embiid (37 possessions)
21 points (+36.5 points/100 poss more than his average) on 8-10 shooting, 5 assists, 0 turnovers
BOS has a 159.4 oRTG on these possessions
Horford has attempted 62% more shots than his average

big alfred is destroying joel

al knows something about going right at these unicorns chests, did the same thing to giannis too

seems like losing Kyrie and Hayward makes them thinner but not a lot worse

naw they wld be srs championship contenders with those two, at the very least just imagine larkin/smart/morris minutes going to all stars instead, losing kyrie does make them better defensively as most of the pg minutes are getting sucked up by rozier/smart but lol kyrie is still better overall, i mean they averaged like 92pts a game on the road in the first round and almost lost to a not very good bucks team, thats likely a sweep with full health

they cld easily still lose this series via going cold at the offensive end, just look at the first 15mins of last nights game they cld barely get a shot off, but on the other hand they cld also make the finals, lol east

Yeah I would not be genuinely surprised by any outcome of this series ranging from a c’s sweep to the sixers winning the next four straight and embiid putting up like 45 and 15, who knows

i wonder if part of it is that none of these celts have any pressure at all on them? They all know they're playing with house money so they can play free and loose. 76ers started looking ahead to east finals and finals it seems like, felt like they had climbed the mountain already, without knowing what's really the real deal with the playoffs. i think they will win big in game 3 but game 4 will be their first real test. Brown has to find some counter moves. Still think this will be a long series.

be interesting to see if the celtics can figure out how to score on the road for even one game, cld def see philly just lose confidence and bow out ungracefully, theyve got to be a lil shook at this point, brown was blustering in his post game presser and what he was saying didnt really makes sense, and neither did his timeout calling or substitution patterns
