    Lol imagine if Boston chokes this.... my lord. This Cavs team could quite possibly be the worst team to make a finals in the past decade.

    Honestly do either the Cavs or Celtics even push the Warriors past game 5? I say no, so I find it hard to even care who gets 2nd place at this point.

    Hope the series goes 7 though just cuz I have this Sunday night off and I usually work Sundays.

    Funny to me that this is a narrative out there. Celtics hold serve at home, end up losing the series without their two best players and it’s a choke? lol wat

    Wild that the story line this whole series is what Lebron doesn’t have. Shouldn’t surprise me as ppl are still talking about the 2015 Finals when Lebrons team didn’t have their two best players.

    This whole playoffs from the Celtics has been money in the bank. Idc how it ends it’s the furthest thing from a choke, the opposite really.

    Really? lol. Choking would be leading 3-0 or 3-1.

    This playoff series is going exactly how a playoff series should. Home teams winning. A playoff series doesn't really start until a team loses a home game.

    Even if Celtics lose, this playoff run is incredible. As a Celtic fan, I just wanted us to get passed the Bucks. Everything single win afterwards has been incredible. I love this team.

    Celtics can beat Warriors. They match up really well with them.

    Not to say they'd win the series, or even win a game, I just don't think they'd get destroyed. I think every game would be competitive.

    King James and if the rest of the Cavs come to play against the warriors, they could take the warriors to game 6-7. Maybe pull an upset and win the series if the entire team shows up to play and not just Lebron.

    Literally no other sport analysts is saying this Celtics team could beat the warriors. Celtics just lost 2 games single handedly to LeBron James with some defensive help for once. Imagine them trying to keep up with Durant and Curry all game without some of the Celtics best players. Had a 2-0 lead in the series and let the Cavs come back, but you could beat the warriors lol The Celtics run was impressive without Kyrie, I’ll give them that for sure. Regardless if they lose to the Cavs.

    Colin Cowherd just said both teams will get destroyed by the warriors. But he wanted the Celtics to beat the Cavs to see if they’re ready to compete with the warriors for the future. He said after the Celtics losing every quarter to the Cavs on the road made him realize they aren’t ready. This guy is always pro Boston sports too and usually favors Boston. That should tell you something.

    This Cavs team is bad. Even the Celtics without their 2 best players should win this series. Fitz, I don’t know how you can claim the Celtics could beat the warriors but not view this series as a choke if you guys lose lol. If you think you can beat the warriors, this Cavs team shouldn’t be a problem.

    Yea no, Lebron is supposedly the GOAT. So he should be able to beat a bunch of guys on their rookie deals and Al Horford.

    Im not sure what you're misinterpreting about Fitz's post, maybe you and Trent read it again. The Celtics have given the Warriors trouble almost every time they've played them.

    "Not to say they'd win the series, or even win a game, I just don't think they'd get destroyed. I think every game would be competitive."

    What part about that is wrong? Warriors lost I think 7 homes games in 15-16/16-17 and two of them were to the Celtics. Celtics also lost a game they had been leading by 25 in 14-15' and then the double OT loss that pushed the Warriors to 24-0 (they then lost to the Bucks the next night). I think there has been one game in the last 8 between the C's/Warriors that hasn't been competitive and that was last year when Horford was out with concussion issues.

    Again what is difference between this series and C's/Bucks one? Both teams won their home games, this is what happens in the NBA between evenly matched teams.

    King James and the rest of the Cavs would get swept. Boston has a better shot at winning a game, but I wouldn't even expect that.

    The second best team in the league is being dismantled right now.

    That Harden dunk was ridiculous but holy s--- Chris Webber’s godawful commentary completely ruined it.

    Imagine someone watching that on YouTube in the future and having to hear that s-----y commentary instead of just enjoying the dunk. Ugh, C Webb sucks so bad at announcing.
