Lee Noire Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Kyrie saved the game for the Cavs in the 3rd, and LeBron finished the job with a nice 4th. Celtics didn't even try to get LeBron those last two fouls. Weird game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Zach Lowe re Chris Paul to the Spurs: "There's been a lot of rumblings about Chris Paul. I think that's real. I think there's mutual interest there." It'd sure be something to see Chris Paul play with a real NBA coach. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzyman314 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Even if Celtics lose this series, they've at least proven a legit threat to The Cavs. With that #1 draft pick they could make the finals as soon as next year. I have no doubt they make it before 2020. Red Sox: 8 Celtics: 17 Bruins: 6 Patriots: 5 Phantom Merch Collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down 0-2 without IT, Celtics stood toe to toe with the Cavs (one their home court no less) even handing them their first playoff loss.

I'd rather him and his father go to Tinseltown. 8 hours ago, dfwabel said: Inside The NBA cannot end this season quick enough. Shaq and Chuck cut deep again.

IMO, this is on Shaq; he knows how Barkley is and how relentless he is, he needs to hold his own without getting offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a team from the East beats the Cavs in a series over the next few years, I expect it to be Milwaukee or Washington, not Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly do The Bucks or Wizards have that make them a bigger threat to The Cavs than The Celtics? Let's not forget Celtics were also beating the Cavs until Kyrie went into carry mode.

The Celtics don’t have that individual player who can win you the one or two swing games you need to beat the Cavs in a seven-game series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Bucks having the assets to beat Lebron. Wizards maybe, but I'd still put Celtics ahead of them as Teams most likely to topple The Cavs. Red Sox: 8 Celtics: 17 Bruins: 6 Patriots: 5 Phantom Merch Collector.

But outside of "Lebron is unstoppable" I haven't heard a legitimate reason why The Celtics, with all their current & future assets, aren't the #1 team in the east to beat Lebron.
