Nets sitting 6 for "rest" , 115 day rest.

So many people here are overly confident.  The Bulls always play us tough, we've never been out of the first round.

None of us should be this confident regardless of who we play in the 1st round.

'we've never been out of the first round'? How did we win those 17 championships?

If you had to pick a matchup of all the possible playoff teams it'd have to be the Bulls, right? Nothing is guaranteed but Celts should win this series. Everything is lining up great for us.

Who needs TMac when you have Gerald "the next TMAC" Green?

Wonder if we're gonna see a bunch of overtime thrillers again with these Bulls. It's been a while since these two teams met in the playoffs.

[snively]

A Rondo/Grant/Butler/Mirotic/Lopez line-up with Wade as 6th man could give us issues. Rondo when engaged can defend IT pretty well and Wade can still be dangerous, especially going against our green, offensively challenged bench units.

But if Hoiberg starts Rondo/Wade/Butler and then uses MCW as the primary guard reserve, they will be easy to defend. And they don't have enough defensive integrity to hold up against our offense without the satisfaction of scoring on the other end.

KO goes into BEAST mode .....wrecks havoc

I'd say the Bulls because Butler scares me less late in games than George does.

Note to celtics: BLOCKOUT

Anyone know when game 1 is?

Brown did a good job on Butler. Jaylen is the only guy we have with the size and athleticism to cover Butler.
