Celtics/NBA 2023-2024 NBA Finals begin June 6th at TD Garden - CELTICS vs Dallas

[EverettMike]

I'll say this: if Denver wins this they at least feel a little less invincible.*

*If KP is healthy

Ive been watching post-season Bruins clips with that game on mute in the background and everytime I look up they nullify a 12 point lead.

Defense has been stifling. Offense was abysmal until the third.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Come on Minnesota, one f***ing time

 

[lextune]

Minnesota feeling it.

Not to get too far ahead of myself or anything, but I'm scared of both the Timberwolves and Nuggets, lol.

 

[Johnnyduke]

I could have understood the Celtics losing to the Nuggets

But Pacers, Mavs/TWolves

No

I don't care how good Edwards is. This Celtics group will NEVER have a better chance to win it all. Has to be this year or I don't think it ever happens.

 

[EverettMike]

Every whistle going Denver's way late

 

[sarge88]

Pretty impressive 2nd half for the TWolves!

Down 20+ in the first half and about to win by 6-8.

 

[lextune]

No defending champion getting past the 2nd round in six years is good for the league, imo.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

I think we’d have handled Denver but it’s still good they are out.

It’s crazy we might see Kyrie in the finals.

 

[Mione134]

That was a heck of a performance by Minnesota

Not winning at all this year will be a colossal failure but I don’t think all these teams will somehow get better next year. Celtics are in a great position to win multiple titles.

I’m sure the NBA will find a way to put a couple of stars on the Lakers mind you.

 

[EverettMike]

Twolves are legit. Co-faves with the Cs now.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Twolves are legit. Co-faves with the Cs now.

They’re definitely legit but Celtics should beat them

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Denver aren't as good as last season but they still weren't a great matchup for the Celtics. I look at the rest of the teams still in it and there's no excuse for them not to win the championship now.


Minnesota's size is great against Denver where they can throw all kinds of bodies at Jokic in the post but against a team that can go 5 out and force their bigs to defend the perimeter, how are they going to defend that at the high level they do Denver. Dallas and Indiana just don't feel like championship teams.

The Celtics should be everyone. But they still scare me. I don't trust them yet lol

I would have picked Denver in 5 or 6

Before the series, I genuinely thought Denver was going back to the ship.


Minnesota shocked me.

I think Gobert is extremely soft and overrated, McDaniels and Reid playing way above the level they should, Conley very coverable by Holliday and White and Edwards, while elite, can be shut down and go missing like Tatum tends to. I think overall the thing the Celtics had over Denver was their depth which was a big miss by the Nuggets this series. It’s probably why they just lost that game.

 

[EverettMike]

Al Horford is gonna bait KAT into four fouls in the first quarter.

 

[McGarnagle]

So literally no excuse for the Celtics not to win this title, right?

Yes

Wolves size could give the Celtics issues

I want to wipe out Kyrie in the finals personally

A part of me wants to wipe Kyrie, but I also don't want to deal with his speeches on Boston.

I'd rather the Wolves take him out.

Every whistle going Denver's way late

Same thing happened with Dallas last night.

 

[Maine Fan]

It SHOULD be a cakewalk.

The Celtics in the playoffs don't do cakewalks

Remember the Heat
