Always considered the Celtics a tad bit overrated. Their 3pt spamming don cast. White has regressed and Holiday is gone.

Any team with a half decent big will smoke them as Embiid is showing. Vucevic and Hauser are not stopping anybody

Tatum and Brown have been super inefficient and I can see Nick Nurse outsmarting Mazulla in Game 7. Celtics also have a poor record at home so their home court advantage is nil

Honestly I will fault Tatum and Jalen Brown. You're two 6 ft 8, MVP caliber studs, no coach will stop you from mixing it up. Even the god or the three ball, Steph mixes it up when the three ball is not falling.

Kobe Bryant would had a stroke watching Tatum and Brown spamming threes

Steady986 wey u na. Na only after victory we dey see you. If you no show now now, bball gods go deny your boy fictory

It is what cost them the series vs the Heat in 2023 that they had no business losing, it's what cost them last year and if they lose Game 7, That will be third time in the last 4 years they would have lost to a lower seed

Magic really blew a 22pt halftime lead

How do you miss 17 straight shots 😂

A monumental 3rd & 4th qtrs collapse by the Magic.

They have missed the last 23 shots.

Well play to the Pistons though, they managed to rediscover themselves.

27 misses from 28. This is why regular season basketball isn't even real basketball

Sorry be like your boys are out of gas. Just too shorthanded and not enough horses

Raptors force Game 7. That Barrett buzzer beater was Haliburton 2.0 last season Game 7 galore this round

They scored 11 and 8 points in the third and fourth quarter.

I called BS

Lol, me wey don win series since 3-0. Wetin dey to talk again? E good as we extend am sef, more days for Luka to recover.

At this point, the mediocrity in the East is oozing terribly. You look at 2 mediocre teams in the form of Cavs and Raptors dragging themselves to game 7. 1st seed and 8th seed dragging themselves to game 7. It is the freaking 1st round. No statement win whatsover. If ATL had not been caught snooping, they would have had themselves a game 7 too. Mediocrity!

Compare that to the West. Statement wins! Sweeps! A first seed doing what a first seed is meant to, a 2nd seed doing what a second seed is supposed to. See the Wolves, individuals stepping up when necessary and putting up a hell of a show.

Can we have the WCSFs & WCFs already? That's what I live for. Not the shit show in the East.

Celtics are actually making it competitive. I thought they were cooked after the first

This Meerkat is watching us get obliterated by Embiid with his small lineup but has refused to bring in Vucevic. We are just spamming Hail Mary 3s.

17 3's in a quarter. Oof.

Problem is JT injury has given him an alibi.

He's a one trick pony coach. Basically a Mike D'Antoni but with some defensive nous.

The reaction when Tatum returned. So many people had Celtics as a title threat. To end up as the team that allowed a lower seed come back from 3-1 is a generational anti climax

Down 1.

Queta don’t bite on that..

Fairs. At least y'all are not going down without a fight unlike the Nuggets

48 3s. Only made 13

Mazzulla 3pt kalokalo has cost him again. Roster full of 3pt spammers and nothing else

Let's gather around and laugh at Celtics

Sorry Egbon Roland

To be fair, a healthy Embiid is top 5 in the league. He wasn't MVP for no reason. A healthy Embiid, a healthy Paul George & Tyrese Maxey will give any team High BP.

Embiid was load managed all season, so his total stats hide how good he has been this season. They saved him up for playoffs, and celtics were the unfortunate first victim

To be fair, they won a chip spamming 3s. Such is the math of kalo kalo, you win one you lose the rest. Gamblers never quit when they are ahead, they keep reliving tge math statistic

Where is affirmative action GM Brad these days?

I will always cheer for their downfall after denying Udoka a chip

For me though it's just bizarre that they are not even trying to play the game any other way.

When I look at how their roster is constructed with mostly slow catch and shoot guys who can't really put the ball on the floor, I'm inclined to blame Brad Steven's as much or even more than Mazzulla.

For all we know Mazzulla is a modern MLB type manager that's just there for show while the analytics boys tell him what to do

Lol, it's all about matchups. Which center on the Celtics was working Embiid? Any team he meets in the west is smacking his behind with that bum knee and back. The east doesn't have prominent big men that can work him.
