NBA Conference Finals Thread

People keep posting they knew the Celtics would sweep the Pacers, lol- game 1 they had to have a miracle ending to win the game- the guy catches the ball in the final seconds Celtics lose game 1. Not to mentioned the Pacers best player got hurt at halftime of game 2 in where the game was still close- bizzare takes.

I Still think the Celtics win with Haliburton there, but to brag about how you knew the Celtics would sweep after the fact- as well as with what actually happened in the series seems strange.

Also, from those same posters let’s hear what the predictions are for the finals- not after the series is over.

The only person who said that is one of the Knicks fans. I never expected a sweep. Halliburton was playing to start and that offense is fantastic. I expected it to be 5-6 games.

As for the Finals, 6-7 games. If this series continues, they could be so gassed Boston could win in 5.

I said it and I am a Knicks fan and it happened. But now we are using an injury to make excuses as to why it happened. When that is how the whole argument started regarding how Boston got a cake walk because of injuries.

Porzingis is a better rim protector than either of those guys. Not as good on the boards. Prime of his career Al is vastly better than those two.

Some bizarre stuff here.

Is Al in the prime of his career currently? Lol

That’s the Celtics biggest weakness currently is that they don’t have a center that’s strong on the boards/in the paint.

It might not matter against the TWolves, but that’s all those guys in Dallas are focused on doing.

Shocked that Lively is back this soon after that sledgehammer he took to the back of the head

Luka trying to end this early

Luka trying to end this early

He is just absurd.

TWolves offense all out of whack from forcing it in the first quarter to Gobert

Hero ball vs team basketball in the Finals lol

Good luck stopping Luka and Kyrie in the 4th. These guys are insane man.

C's in 5. Let's see how the Mavs defense hangs with the C's starters who can each score 20 points a night in their sleep. The Timberwolves offense is an absolute joke and easy to defend. This will play out like the regular season 2 games.

Silly people. The C's lost a starting center that improves their defense immensely and just happens to score 20 points per game. With him, they're a top 3 team on both sides of the ball

Yet they still rolled because they're deeper, much deeper than anyone else in the league. They're not making excuses because one of their best players is injured. Do the math

It's that simple

64-18
12-2
