2024-25 Boston Celtics & NBA Thread

Both teams that had to go 7 ended up beating the better, more rested, teams tonight. That's unusual, and it cost me Dinglebucks.

They played just as Celtics fans fear. It's a soft, system based team, and it loses against good teams when it's not hitting the threes. Beating a .500 Orlando team doesn't change any of that.

Jokic is great, and is the best player in the game today, but we may see these games a bit differently.


To me, this was about the rested teams blowing it much more than it was about the opponents playing well (particularly true in the Celtics game, IMO). The Nuggets won with Gordon chucking a semi-prayer 3 at the buzzer after the defense let him get to a good spot in transition, for example. And the Knicks won in overtime after the Celtics had blown a 20 point lead while having a 3-point brick fest.

But I think we can agree that, no matter how we feel things got here, having the road teams beating the home teams has just made these series a lot more spicy, at least for the next two games.

Yeah right. This fucking series is fucking OVAH, the fucking selfish, stupid ass-hole niggers fucking blew it.
 
Spurs will not be getting another "Our #1 pick is injured, so we'll take this other #1 pick" double-down this year. Instead, they'll be picking 2nd and 14th. Dallas gets bailed out after their ridiculous trade. Once again, it's almost as if these lotteries are rigged:


1. Dallas Mavericks

2. San Antonio Spurs

3. Philadelphia 76ers

4. Charlotte Hornets

This wouldn't have happened if Jaylen Brown could fucking dribble, or had bothered to show up for last night's game:


Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum suffered a torn right Achilles tendon during Monday night's playoff loss to the Knicks, the team announced Tuesday. Tatum has already undergone surgery, and though an exact timetable for his return is not immediately clear, he is expected to miss a significant portion, if not all, of next season.

Tuesday's news, which was expected, is a significant blow to the Celtics -- who are down 3-1 to the New York Knicks in their second-round series -- in both the short and long term. Boston will try to keep its season alive without Tatum on Wednesday night in Game 5...

Did the C's pull a Spinal Tap "Hello Cleveland" after the 2nd and never make it back to the court?
