I don't want to get into a black hole argument. It's all opinion at the end of the day. If you think there aren't 9 players that are better than Blake Griffin in the Western conference, or 3 power forwards, that's your opinion.
Young teams like the Clippers, GSW, even SAC are going to be pumped to play the legendary Celtics.
How many times have we seen a young team go crazy with adrenaline against us? Did you see how emotional the players on the Clippers and GSW were for simply hitting a three pointer against their idols KG and Pierce?
Rondo wasn't playing. We turned a 20 point deficit into an 8 point deficit. We shot HORRIDLY. They shot out of their dang minds- BOTH nights.
Please don't over react to a few road losses against up and coming young teams. I remember when people did this last year vs Philly and it was like OMG HOW CAN WE EVEN WIN ONE GAME IN A PLAYOFF SERIES!
Just playing the C's at home for these young teams is like a playoff game for them. While we limp through the regular season, get new players adjusted and get our defense right, teams like this will come and go.
But if you think the Warriors or the Clippers will shoot like that in a 7 game series it's highly unlikely.
The calls we got? Some bogus officiating just as we hit the 8 point mark.
8 points at the start of the 4th, from 20 points down. With no Rondo, against a young and solid team, shooting the lights out.
Don't jump off the cliff just yet.
