Alright, so Jaylen is out. On paper, our chances to win the game are very slim.

Still, we might be able to make this game a fight in the mud. A slow paced, defensive and physical game could give us an opportunity.

Anyway, I'm still pumped up, so LET'S GO CELTICS!!!!!

Wholesale injuries aside

The "experts" picked the bucks over us.  Granted I'd love to have Theis & Irving for this series, I think those 2 would make it pretty easy.  But I think the team as a whole has displayed amazing man up offense and defense.  Our starting playoff guard is TERRY ROZIER.  At the beginning of year I believe he would be 3rd string.  Larkin 4th!
I'm ready for whatever this series brings

I just hope we don't get swept due to all the injuries.  I want to see the young Celts taste a little 2nd round success.

  • The Truth
with all the injuries, at home against an un-experienced team, you still have about a 50-50 chance of winning the game.
as long as brad is not on the injury list...
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Tatum is due for a 30 point game.

Agreed. "Youngest Celtic to score 30+ points in a playoff game" is a record that has stood for too long
I'm bitter.

I want to win the series.

When your team has won 17 world championships, you don’t really need a taste.

This is the one series that I can justify Charles having a bias, since he was a big part of it when he was a Sixer and Bird, McHale and Parish whooped his butt

Brown is the current holder of that record.

Barkley is disrespecting the hell out of Al's defense right now
I'm bitter.

Well he isn't here anymore, on to the new generation!

You miss one game, and we forget about you and move on.

Yup, and it's already stood for about a week too long

All 4 Starters on NBA TV pick Sixers, 3 in 6, one in 5.

Love the disrespect.

Let’s go!!

Who?
I haven't yet seen an analyst or "expert" predict anything other than Philly in 5 or 6.  Boston is definitely the underdogs.  Everyone is counting us out.  We've been here before, though and proven the talking heads wrong.  Here's hoping...

Man, I don't even know who those dudes are, lol. Now granted, I've never watched the show, primarily because it looks dumb as hell, but who are they? All I know is that there's an Australian on the program. I think.

Lol at Kenny Smith still calling Gordon Hayward "Haywood", btw ::) ;D. He's far from the only offender in this regard, but still, come on ::).

Oh well, at least we have McHale :).
