I picked Boston to Win the NBA before the season started once they made the trade for Holiday. only think I expected Denver to get back to the Finals

I'm still expecting the Celtics to Win. I have only one problem with them as there are times when they seem to play without passion,

The Celtics have the Players to slow down Doncic and Irving.
Holiday/ White/ Brown/ Tatum/ Pritchard are all above average to Elite defenders

How does a team not show up to an elimination game? Down by almost 30 at halftime? That's embarrassing.
Finals will be interesting.....Celtics have a ton of talent, everyone forgets that both their starting guards are All Defensive team. Just seems they have to want it.
And they did that on their home court.....the entire team looked off while Dallas was throwing daggers the whole game. The upside of the Wolves season is that now I am engaged and interested in watching the finals. It should be a really fun series!

I think the Wolves got lucky especially with all the foul trouble they had in the first half. I don't see them getting past game 5
Good call. I did not see the Wolves crapping the bed like they did on their home court but here we are.

I don’t trust their big 2 in the clutch but maybe their defense will carry them, should be great series

I didn’t realize how many great defenders they have especially Holiday. That dude is a flat out winner. However, the Beantown boys don’t have the Michael Jordan effect there seems to be something missing. They better not underestimate Dallas. I can’t stand Luca but he has it in a big way very clutch player knocking down the door

This has been a disappointing finals

That’s for sure Luca melted down last night and most of his teammates don’t look ready for the big stage. Give Boston credit they look great

Tonights game showed why the Celtics will not be considered one of the great teams of all time. Tremendous talent at every position, the chance to put away an overmatched opponent and they don't even show up. Because of all the injuries in the East they haven't really been tested but there is just something missing about their killer instinct. Expect them to win next game but they need to realize how good they can be when playing to full potential.

Yup not an all time great team for sure. They were extraordinary lucky with the draw they had this year in the playoffs. I am not a big fan of the coach either. Their GM is the star of the team. The Bucks GM should be fired…..

Agree about the Boston GM, have no idea what you mean about the Bucks GM. I think he's done a great job despite being handcuffed by the huge salaries their biggest stars get. Can't imagine how far the Celtics must be over the luxury salary cap. Bucks main problem is their team has gotten old and constantly injured.

I meant that he gave away one if the best defensive players in the nba and a great leader in Holliday. He also fired a good coach…….

Well, he traded a great defender in Holliday for one of the best shooters in the league. Bucks were super inside heavy scoring wise with Giannis, Middleton and Holliday. They weren't going to win another title without being able to stretch the defense. Jury is still out on firing Budenholser.....he was having personal problems and the coaching suffered for it. They got Darvin Ham back as lead assistant but kinda wish he was head coach. :D

U likely know the bucks a lot better then me but from the outside looking in they seem to be imploding.

Well, can't argue with that....An older team with no draft choices or really tradable players aside from the 2 stars. They sold out for titles now and with injuries costing them the last few seasons they are probably toast. And this gets directed by the owners, not really the GM.

At least you got a title……
