Mike Brown is a horrible coach but luckily for the Cavs Lebron was clutch right after.

Clutch? He had missed 6 straight shots.

I could go 1/7 in the 4th quarter too. Does that make me clutch? No. It just means I'm bound to hit one sooner or later.
 
i can't wait until the Celts have to play an actual great team so they can get run out of the playoffs already and their fans can go fuck themselves and disappear back into the abyss.

what is the nba gonna do with the 20minutes of the celtics gatorade commercial?
 
for all the talk of "The Big 3" is not really THAT shocking to see the Celtics struggle. Really, for all their accolades, what the fuck have KG, PP and Ray accomplished? Jack and shit, thats what. When Shaq, Kobe, Karl and GP got together at least they had all led teams to a certain level of success with their own teams. KG, Paul and Ray are all lifelong losers, it shouldn't be a suprise that just because you put them together they are magically going to learn how to nut up and win big games.
 
So what's happened to Boston? They were dominating in the regular season but have been mediocre in the playoffs so far. What's going to happen if lebron's shots actually start falling? Boston's got to be pretty worried.

celtics still make the finals.

only to get bitchslapped by the western conference winner in 5 games. The Celtics only real chance was that they would breeze through the east while the West beat itself up...only the Celtics are the team taking the worst beating. Its not inconcievable they could go though 3 straight 7 game series'.

Eastern Conference basketball...it's bricktastic.

Seriously, the EC truly is the JV of the NBA. It's cute watching them try and all, but c'mon. :lol

not really. this is still 2-2 series and they could win the next 2.

they are struggling where i thought they wouldn't but it is not like any of the western conference teams are cruising.

celts and spurs in the finals. and i can see the celtics winning it all easily.

has there been a larger "Exciting player:boring games" ratio than Lebron James? For being the most popular and exciting player in the league his games ALWAYS degenerate into boring ass low scoring games that would make Jeff Van Gundy bust a nut.
 
Celtics have too many jumpshooters. Hell, they have guys shooting jumpers that have no business doing so. If they somehow lose gm 5, they are DONE...

but it is not like any of the western conference teams are cruising.

The WC teams aren't struggling with teams that won 20 less games than they did. Celtics are highly overrated..

The Pistons will beat the Celts in a lot fewer than 7 games.
 
I knew the Celts we're going to lose when the Cavs when scoreless for 4-5 minutes and the Celtics were still down by 3. I knew the Cleveland crowd would put the Cavs over the top at that point.

Good dunk by Lebron. But we all know that's Lebron's strength. So it wasn't surprising.

Actually I think Lebron would have had a great game if he didn't jack up so many shots. He was setting up his teammates really well and there was a lot of movement on offense. They actually looked like a team instead of the Lebron-show.

Huh? Tim Duncan vs. Kevin Garnett is a wash. Manu beats the fuck out of the playoffs version of Paul Pierce. Tony Parker owns Ray Allen any day of the week. The San Antonio bench is of course superior to the Boston bench.

sure they CAN win the next 2, its possible, but what have the Celtics shown you thus far to make you believe they will win a game 6 in cleveland? They are just terrible on the road. I don't see how you say they could " win it all easily" either. They can't even beat the fucking Hawks "easily", you expect them to go into Utah, LA or San Antonio playing like this and come out champions?

he is exciting but his team is just so horrible to watch.

sort of like iverson and the sixers back in the early 00s.

Ugh it's wretched. I had to live through the 90s, NO MAS NBA. NO. MAS.

Fuck even the occasional UCLA game is exciting and they would fit right in with this freak show of a conference (excluding the talent level gap because Howland can't recruit right).
 
Celtics haven't shown me anything to think that they can even make the Finals. They've been a complete and utter embarrassment in the playoffs. They can't win on the road and their "big three" have disappeared many times.
 
Celtics need a decent point guard, Rondo has been destroying their offensive flow. Pistons are gonna destroy them.

Actually, now that I think about it, is there an East team besides the Pistons that have a good point guard?
