I know, but I’m not sure I can remember a team with a 3-0 lead that looked more vulnerable than this Boston squad. I could really see this thing tightening up.

No it’s not what it was but it’s still a great crowd that’s smart, loud and energetic and a hard place to play for road teams in the playoffs Edited May 9, 2018 by Momma There Goes That Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn't win in Boston in the postseason to save our lives, and we died because of it. LeBron is the only one to win in the Boston in the playoffs in at least the last two years. @PeterMP is right though that we may need to reconsider (if we haven't already) how much talent Boston actually has left even without Kyrie and Heyward. At some point we need to ask if some of these young players are overachieving or actually just good and in a great system to maximize their current skillset. Raptors series was the epitome of how NOT to play LeBron James, I would expect a different approach from Stevens, even if it doesn't work. Boston in 7.

At some point we need to ask if some of these young players are overachieving or actually just good and in a great system to maximize their current skillset. They're good. Tatum, Brown and Smart were high lottery talents. Rozier seems to have developed very nicely and started putting things together after what 3 seasons i think? The crazy thing is that these guys might not have developed at nearly this pace without the injuries to Heyward and Kyrie which pushed them into larger roles and minutes. They are gaining invaluable reps right now that Boston is going to take advantage of next season with their full roster. Now it's not Kyrie, Heyward. Horford and a bunch of question marks. Its, Kyrie, Heyward, Horford and a pretty damn awesome complimentary bunch of young talent around them. Tatum has the chance to be great too. **** Boston 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMP Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I don't think Boston is as set as people think, especially with respect to Irving. Irving is a different animal, and I don't think what they are doing now works well with him. He's a ball stopper. Also, you are going to end up taking minutes/touches from people and most people play better the more they play and the more they touch the ball. The other issue you have with Irving, he's now had 3 knee surgeries on his left knee. I know he's not torn anything there or having them cleaned out, but that has to be a concern. (Though, I wouldn't be surprised if the Celtics solution to this is to move Kyrie this off season and despite his issues, if they got something valuable for him. (Anybody know about his contract and trade clauses, etc.)) If they try and run with what they have next year, I wouldn't be surprised if some of their younger guys (appear) to take a step back.

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) I think people are still underrating the Celtics because they’re not household names yet. But Tatum and Brown are stars and Rozier is playing like a star. I think they win the East and lose in 5 to GS. Philly gonna lose by 10 tonight.

PeterMP Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I will say, I wouldn't be shocked if the Sixers win tonight. They've played them close, and you can argue the Sixers as a team have yet to have a good game. Was worried about them just not matching the Celtics intensity at the start and falling behind, but that doesn't seem to be an issue. (Watch Celtics will go on a 20-2 run now).

Boston is maximizing what they have, but at some point, they are going to need some kind of elite talent to help counter LeBron and the Warriors. If anyone can figure out how to fit Kyrie into their offense without losing their identity, Stevens can. Scary Terry as my 6th man? MF'n yes, please. You right though, we have no idea if Kyrie will be able to hold up. But he's 26, so by the time his last two years are up, Boston will know if its worth giving him an extension or not. Considering how cold-blooded Ainge was toward his last championship core when he knew they were done, I trust him not to do something stupid in that regard (sorry, @stevemcqueen1, but I'm a believer now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
