Tell me why the Celtics can’t at least push the Cavs to 6 games

[lakerboy]

I don't think people necessary want to Cavs to win at face value as that would be silly to root for such a team.

People want what they think is "free money" are very well possibly could be, and Cavs happen to be the team in that spot.

Oh okay. Well then I love the warriors

[Seto]

I do agree with you to some extent.. I saw you picking Cavs easy against raptors.. But toronto was just awful on defense... jr cutting korver cutting, put cj miles on freaking love on and on and on...come on..not saying boston is going to take them out but will match up much better than that... love scored every time on valanciunas.. went by him..he wont do that against horford or baynes...boston is much much better matchup than raptors..have home court and if they take first game they will be full of confidence but agree..cavs probably move on..

This is all said after the fact. before the series it was "Raptors top 5 team on offense and defense they move the ball this is their year blablabla".

[shadymcgrady]

I was fooled by toronto yet again this yr, rly thought they were gonna go to the finals

Their defense was terrible and it started with derozan, whoever he was guarding had wide open layups or 3s. We're talking shoot around after practice wide open

Is "Brad Stevens" a new player the Celtics have signed who can get them 25 5 and 5? If so, maybe this will be a series.

I dare you say no if brad Stevens was the sixers coach ? Boston gets humiliated and sweep in 4 games

Dude I'm not discounting Stevens' abilities as a coach. He is an excellent coach. And yeah if you flip flop coaches Philly probably moves on. But the idea that he can somehow do the things you said he'd do is utterly ridiculous. Coaching is something that can put you over the top in a series that's close on paper, like the Sixers series this year (you'll say they were -450 or whatever but everyone with a clue knows that was one of the dumbest lines ever) or the Wizards series last year. It can't help you overcome a mismatch. This is a mismatch. Whether you choose to see it now, or in 10-12 days or so when the series ends is your choice.

Was pacers/ Cavs not a mismatch? Boston won’t be able to duplicate what pacers did? Celtics got better athletic wing defenders? Brown ? Smart ? Throw in the best coach in the NBA-

Boston is the better team, for what it's worth. The problem they could face is that when they go against the LeBronda coached team, a weakness will be found and exploited.

One scenario is that because the Boston coach is so ridiculously overrated by so much of the public, they won't see it when they're beloved Boston coach gets exposed as being unable to adjust.

This could skew the spreads quite a bit for a while and just as they adjust Lebronda will get tired and the opportunistic Stevens will all of a sudden look good again.

I make no moneyline predictions but do see how the markets can be over traded, which is what really counts.

6 seems pretty reasonable to me, ultimately I think bron will get it done but certainly don't expect it to be a cakewalk.

So Boston would be in this position with any other coaches ?

Nice to know you slobbing on my co*k- how many times u lost betting against Boston scrub ?

Who have they beaten? A incredibly young inexperienced sixers squad and a terrible bucks team. So yea I think they would be here w any competent coach.

Lol stop bro.

Who have the cavs beaten? You guys said the raptors were trash. They barely beat the pacers.

The sixers were massive favorites starting the series on the road. Sound familiar?

[sNoWmAn2169]

Yea... there was a reason that series went 7. I'm not so sure Cleveland can play Boston close. Boston has too good a defense.

I’m going throw out the switching coaches senario again? Bucks beat Boston with brad Stevens coaching - sixers sweep Boston with Stevens - don’t kid yourself? No other coaches in the nba can survive 2 all stars being injured

[ikid2groove415]

Going grab some bud light for the hockey game -

[sNoWmAn2169]

Expect blowouts in either favor if it goes 7...

[Snowball]

I bet against Boston a total of 2 times this playoffs and went 1-1
I also won with them like 4 times inc. last night.
Celtics are my favorite NBA team. Cavs roll, no issue.

That is utter nonsense. Forget who brought this up before but it was spot on, you have to have coachable players for your coaching to matter.

[KVB]

No, I didn't say that. I said the Boston coach was being ridiculously overrated by much of the public.

There is no need in my discussion to throw around hypothetical coach/team situations, it's pointless and we have real situations to look at.

I think what KVB is trying to say is that transparency is not your friend. But I'm all for it, recycling though does not automatically qualify one as a responsible person

[JaimeMiro]

The Celtics are a good team; still, cavs get this done in 4 or 5... C's struggle to get a bucket. Cavs win game 1 by more than 6 points...

[The Giant]

Cleveland beat the Raptors. A team that you just about guaranteed would take down Lebron.

That means YOU had to be impressed.

Celtics are starting to miss players but I hope they do advance just to pound gs or rockets

[Heltah Skeltah]

You should get on the phone with Brad Stevens and give him this golden information. I think you may have actually uncovered what every NBA Eastern Conference coach has been looking for for the last 7 years. How could nobody have ever thought of this? Mad!

What does the last 7 years have to do with this years team? LeBron has nobody close to what he had on his past teams from 7 years back.

You told me craptors were good!! Cavs were sizable dogs too!! You can't pick and choose for sake of hating on bron!! All the east is trash imo, it bron and nobody else.

It is like "Look at me" and validate my existence. Someone put him on a post limit.

Believe me fellas this brad Stevens coach is special - he will exposed the Cavs weak defense and take away every offensive player on the Cavs but lebron

You are every bit as "special" as him. Lmfao
