Celtics/NBA Playoffs: Round 2 - Game 7 Friday 9 PM

[UConn126]

How have the Celtics been this year with Kemba? I don't follow the NBA, but I was a student at UConn when he won the championship there in 2011 (same year the B's won the Cup, best sports year of my life) so always like to hear how he's doin in the big leagues.

The biggest compliment Celtics fans can give him is that he's not Kyrie Irving.

much better. They’re a lot more fun to watch, they don’t hate their lives. Kemba was a breath of fresh air

Confirmed: Celtics will face Sixers in Round 1 in Orlando Bubble

Celtics in 6

Wizards/Celtics in seeding game 8....

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

56-51 Wizards.... at the half.... C'S Bench hanging tough

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

96-90 Wizards end regular season with win

 

[JRull86]

They should destroy Philly in the first round. No Simmons, banged up Embiid. I'd be shocked if it went 6.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Memphis will be one of the two teams in a play-in.... for the 8 seed...... whether it's Portland or Phoenix TBD

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

Seems like a pretty dumb idea to invite Phoenix when they likely cannot even make it as the #9 seed after performing like the best team in the bubble. Memphis has won only 2 games and is still making it despite Portland, Phoenix and San Antonio making up ground.

They should have made it a 4 team mini tournament if multiple teams were closer than 4 GB to the #8 seed (Memphis), instead of this stupid play-in game in which the #9 seed has to win twice.

They should destroy Philly in the first round. No Simmons, banged up Embiid. I'd be shocked if it went 6.

Let me put it this way: No matter how bad of a match-up Philly is, if they can't beat a Simmons-kess version of this squad, they don't deserve to advance anyway. But I am positive that they are going to end this in 6.
The thing is: it would be a shame if they went out. No matter what some say, I don't think there is an overwhelming favorite like the Warriors have been over the past 4-5 years. Not the LA teams and certainly not the Bucks.

Celtics in 6

I would have picked Boston in 6 with Simmons and Embiid playing - now I'll take the Celtics in 5.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Celtics/Sixers in the Orlando Bubble has been announced starting on the 17th through the 29th, if needed..... all games will be exclusively in New England on NBCSB..... several will also be simulcast on ESPN/ABC/TNT.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Blazers are the 8 seed as they beat Memphis

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

C's projected to receive 14th pick from Grizzlies should things stand...

 

[CDJ]

that’s a decent pick, I’ll take it

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

that’s a decent pick, I’ll take it

provided Memphis doesn't get elevated to top 4 pick

 

[BostonBob]

Dammit - I forgot that pick is top 6 protected. Of course - if the Celtics can't use the pick this year it is totally unprotected in 2021.

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

Romeo Langford (wrist) injured, unlikely to return for playoffs

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

REMINDER:

Game 1 rd 1 tonight @ 6:30 (NBCSB/ESPN)

 

[Smitty93]

Romeo Langford (wrist) injured, unlikely to return for playoffs

By all accounts, he's going to give it a go in the Sixers series. Sounds like the big thing for now is pain management.

questionable on the injury report, the only other one is Poirier who is probable

 

[Maine Fan]

Celtics don't letdown in the 3rd.

Go Green

 

[JRull86]

Hayward probably done for the series, if not longer with an ankle injury.

probably out awhile between this and his wife is due to give birth in a few weeks..I could see him heading back to Boston to rehab and be at home With her...Doubt we get by the Raptors if he doesn’t play in the series in Round 2

 

[CHRDANHUTCH]

folks, it was reported as a sprain, the initial thought was Cleveland part 2.
