I mean if you are comparing The Wiz and the Celtics then thats a whole other discussion.
To your first point - The Wiz were not playing well to end the season and they still got the 4th seed. The Celtics only got to #1 because of strength of schedule and the Cavs didn't want it. Thats it. I dont think Wiz fans are ahead of themselves. It is reasonable to expect the squad to make it to the ECF, which is all anyone is really dreaming of anyway to be honest. And we still can. Again, down 2-0 in a seven game series when you are playing away means jack ****.
It was always required for us to take a road game in this series. They have home court. This is what I mean.,,,that hasn't changed since the end of the regular season its not new information. Its not like we lost home court or something. We never had it. This is how the playoffs work lol
Boston is arguably younger, sure. But we are arguably more talented. Beal, Wall, Otto and Morris all get a year of experience together in the playoffs. That is better than anything Boston has going right now outside of that top 3 draft pick.
