Let’s go Celtics!

Well this was unexpected.

Hope they can keep this up.

Wow. Add Kyrie and Gordon to that group Lepuss will need to find 4 HOFers to beat those guys.

Celtics taking this game back to old school style.

That is how you play defense. Can’t believe they are up by 25

Not by some of us it wasn't / isn't. It was unexpected to me to see Cleveland get past the Pacers. I picked Boston to take them out on 6. Got laughed at my many here. I probably deserved it b/c I also picked Indiana and Toronto to beat them. We'll see what happens.

Law of averages in basketball will probably kick in the second half.

They just need to keep making the other players outside of Lebron locked down

LeBron has no interest in playing the Warriors

14 pts is a manageable deficit for the Cavs. Like the Raptors the Celtics need this game 1 so they better knuckle up

How many damn movies is The Rock in this year? jfc and they are all the same

That was a LeAss kicking.

He no showed and got benched half way through the 4th quarter :)

Better for his legacy to lose early as MJ did and avoid losing another Finals. Smartly playing the long game.

So apparently even with Hayward and Kyrie Celtics couldn't win against LeBron according to KCC. Yet they just blew them out without either one of them. At the very least this proves that at full strength, the Celtics would have the upper hand in the series.


Can't wait to hear KCCs excused though.

Super impressed by Marcus Morris saying he was going to make Lebron his bitch and backed it up. 15 pts LMAO

Been saying since early in the season if they were full healthy they would be in the Finals. They aren’t the loser Raptors.

Hey, careful, thats the GOAT there . . . . . . . . (or as some would have you believe) . . . .

This ****s LePuss up big time. With Boston looking like a great and rising team out East and the Warriors out West there goes the free trip to the finals every year. It will have to earned now.

He just joins the rockets and they beat the warriors easily

Are you sure? KCC said the Warriors have 4 HOFers.

Paul is 34 and James will be in Dec. That team would be getting a bit long in the tooth for a younger Warriors team

Cleveland shot 15% from three. They average 30%. That more than likely isn't going to happen again.

I am quite surprised listening to all the ex NBA players\coaches as analysts saying how much better a team the Celtics are than the Cavs. I think they are right as team but Lebron is the biggest equalizer though. Should be a fun rest of the series.

Cavs still winning this series

They are. Mostly because of Brad Stevens. He is an outstanding coach! But Lebron is still Lebron, so they’ll have their work cut out for them to knock out the Cavs.

It’ll be interesting to see how much better they will be next year at full strength with Kyrie and Hayward.

Nah. This Boston team is much better than that pacer team that was a blown call away from winning the series against the Cavs

Im not sure its gonna be all that hard to beat the Cavs. They will throw all they have at slowing down Lebron and force the other guys to beat them. They cant.

Exactly. If we were pickng teams from these two rosters, based on how guys are playing now, we'd pick Lebron first of course, but the next 3 players would be Celtics. They have a lot of good players.

Just goes to show how important Kyrie was to them
Without him they are a 4 seed barely able to get out of round 1.

LMAO

You won't mind if I save this quote for the future, do you?

I insist.

The Rockets are close enough already that smaller upgrades would be better. Lebron is too high maintenance for a team on the cusp like the Rockets.
Hes one of the best ever but the Rockets dont need all that.

When LeBron finally cucks out before the Finals his failure will be complete.

Would it be that different than KD joining GS?

Let's hope that "Big Game" James Harden shows up for all the games in this year's version of the NBA Finals. Not sure that the Rockets can do it. I just hope that they do. And if they can't, no one can

I think you're forgetting that there is another force In the East, and they are called the Philadelphia 76ers. Anyone who watched our series against Boston without biased eyes would know that we could, and perhaps SHOULD have won the series. They just happened to have every stroke of luck go their way and we didn't. They can have the hype and accolades right now, but you better believe we will be giving them one hell of a battle for supremacy In the east for many years to come.

Lebron, George and Kawhi are all linked to the sixers right now!!..and there's a chance we could even get two of those names this summer. IF we do, then it's a wrap for Boston. Brad Stevens or no Brad Stevens.

You lost 4-1 while getting the benefit of every ref call, mostly because your young and inexperienced team choked repeatedly in the closing minutes, and because Stevens ran circles around your coach.

Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward say "hi".

I look forward to 10 years of battling it out with the Sixers though. Cs/Sixers rivalry has been renewed, and barring injuries or something freaky, the two should be serious contenders to win the East for the next decade.

Don't need the GOAT? Oh man, some Rockets fans are going to learn just how bad this take is the hard way.

Who gets to stay, who has to go? Who will they need to sign to please Lebron? Does Di Antoni get to stay or does Lebron have someone else in mind? Too much drama with Lebron.

Well it's that with a chance at a championship or losing to the Warriors every year with what you have.

I know which way I'm going on that one.

You really think they would have a legit chance to beat warriors? Not only do warriors have most talent, they have the best fitting, synergistic talent and most relevant talent for today's game. There's something to hero-ball becoming a less valuable thing nowadays.

Paul is 34 and Lebron turns 34 next year.. Pretty much only down hill from here.

For instance, I think Lebron is no question the most impactful player ever, BUT i think curry with his specific supporting cast is the most championship relevant impact player in today's game. His game creates open looks for the 2nd and 3rd best 3pt shooters in the world.

Warriors will crush everyone. Not much of a competition.

LOL what a load of garbage ROFL The refs even had to apologize to us for the crazy calls they made late In the fifth game which cost us at the end, and you say we got the calls?


And Lebron and Kawhi may be saying "hi" back next year.....


And I can't wait. Simmons is gonna work like a mad man on that jump shot this summer, and if he gets just an average one, then everyone knows what will who's gonna be the real force In the conference :D .

It's difficult to see any combination of players beating the Warriors right now, but they'd at least have a chance with LeBron. They have none without him.

i love you amn and agree with most of what you said, but your every ref call line is, clearly, a complete fabrication.

Especially considering how many calls Boston regularly gets at home.

quit calling Bron the GOAT, he is not the GOAT. Not even close with his 3-5 finals record. Most impactful ever with a losing finals record? For someone they call the KING? ROFLROFLROFLROFL

So excited for this series. Let’s get it on

**** great Arrow showed up. Please don’t bleed all over this thread

They are already fighting

Draymond gets a T in the first minute. LMAO

LMAO Arrow!!!

This series is going 7

Must win for Houston

Wouldn't be a problem if people wouldn't respond to him but people on CP can't seem to ignore trolls/shitty posters for some reason.

How is Draymond not T'd up for the complaining there? Anybody else in the league would have gotten one.

Green is a ****ing idiot

Refs never seem to want to give 2 T’s

KD and Steph need to pull him aside and tell him to chill the **** out

Kerr needs to take him out of the game

or that

Green needs to chill the **** out.

Clearly the Rockets would be better off with Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon instead of LeBron James. :rolleyes:

Houston's offense would work a lot better if they actually had one.

But the drama.

The thing about Eric Gordon is that he sucks.

That was a bs call on Green on the screen

KD is killing them

If the Warriors win this game (and I'd expect them to based on what I've seen so far), a sweep is very much a possibility in this series.

GS weathered the storm. Game has lived up to all the hype so far

Fun game to watch. 2 of the best in the world putting ona show.

**** Nick Young

Great game so far. Durant on this team is basically unfair.

Absolutely. Tons of scrubs on the Rockets. Have to laugh every time Ariza puts the ball on the floor.

He is NOT the GOAT. You are either 13 brainwashed.

I'm not disagreeing with you my man.
