    I mean nobody really losing that much sleep over anybody on the Cs except for IT and Stevens. You been saying all year they're not as good as their record so this series can definitely go either way.

    Well they still have 3 of the 4 best players in the series if they're playing the Bulls. Celtics will be the clear favorites and I would think most Bulls fans would even tell you that.

    The Bulls are out here losing to the Knicks and Nets with a playoff spot on the line. No idea where your confidence is coming from.

    I over-exaggerate the Celtics on here, but in all honesty, the Celtics are going to be a very tough 7 game series for any team in the playoffs. They have the ability to beat anyone in a 7 game series, I truly believe that.

    Are they a legit 1 seed? Of course not lol. I agree with @YDB that they're pretenders. However, I do think they have a slim possibility of an upset or two. I think they should beat anyone in the first round. However, I don't see them beating any teams in 4 or 5 games. I think we're looking at 6 or 7 game series in any round.

    And even though we got destroyed by the Cavs, I still think we have a shot against them, although very slim. We missed A LOT of wide open shots in that game, and for some reason, the defense looked sluggish, which it usually doesn't.

    I think the Celtics can compete with anyone when they're on their A game.

    I don't disagree with the Celtics being the favorites and I'm with you on having 3 of the best 4 players, but the Bulls played their best stretch of the season when Wade was out. It's the NBA, these one off losses to lottery teams happen to basically everybody. Can't put too much stock into the regular season, we swept Cleveland this year but that doesn't mean I think we can beat them in a series.

    The Bulls are sort of like Cleveland in a sense that I feel they've been waiting for the playoffs, especially Rondo & Wade. This is what they came here for, so I have confidence that some of the inconsistencies they've had during the year will be mostly ironed out by Saturday.

    I wouldn't sleep on Niko either. He's obviously not a premier player but he's quietly had his best 2 months in a Bulls uniform, avg 14 ppg and shooting 40 plus % from 3. If he had played like this more throughout the year the Bulls are probably right below Washington in the standings.
    Not trolling bruh I 100% believe the Bulls can beat the Celtics, Washington can get it too :butler:

    Simmons is finally cleared and also I'd like to thank @Kon and the Lakers for failing at tanking and clinching the 3rd pick.

    yeah they were def bullshitting it for the longest. it's whatever though, i'd rather have him sit the year and be 100% for next season. It's gonna be a long Summer waiting for the next season to see this guy on the court with Embiid and whoever we draft. Can't f---ing wait.

    I hope Embiid doesn't end up like Rose. Seems like he's almost too athletic for his body to handle if that makes sense.

    I know what you mean and that's everyone's biggest concern down here about him. Everything has to be about keeping him healthy, they're gonna need to do some work with him this off-season. They need to teach dude how to land, that's his biggest problem imo. He's always landing weird.

    Same s--- we used to say about Rose, takes off like nobody I've seen but his landings were so awkward sometimes. I mean look at the play he tore his acl on, who does a jump stop full speed and jumps 6 ft in the air?

    Who do you want in the draft?

    I like Monk, I think he'd be the best fit for us right now. I'm comfortable with Embiid, Simmons, and Saric at the 5, 4, and 3 but we need that one true scorer on the team.

    And a shooter more importantly. If you guys somehow get Fultz, Sixers win a title within the next 10 years if everybody stays healthy.

    The Celtic's MVP is a coach and this b rate squad will never win a title as a group no matter how many of the nets picks they steal

    I really don't see any difference in this Boston team from the ATL teams of the last few years. They roll through the reg season because of a great coach, scheme, and system players but when teams can key in on them for an entire series they're not as successful.
