Zach Lowe: "The Celtics essentially got a bye to the NBA Finals"

Tatum not even the MVP of his own team.

Had an impressive post season

When they 4-1 Dallas, what will you say then? Mavs overachieved? Lukas knee lost too much blood?

Just remember

"_____________________________" can be applied to anything

Isn’t that worrying for everyone else? Imagine how good we are if Jayson fucking Tatum isn’t even our best player

I didn't realize the Celtics were healthy.

And we had Stephen A. Smith last night saying
"why the Celtics should fear the Mavs"
And not
"Why the Mavs should fear the Celtics"

Nick Wright on board?

It's looking better every day

Tbh if they beat the mavs it'll just be people pointing out how they beat a bunch of garbage teams in the east without their best players and then beat a 5 seed from the West. It'll top the Nuggets run from a couple of years ago as easiest title ever, possibly.

^ that's what you'd hear

In all reality the Celtics have all the pressure. They're expected to win, as they have all season. If they dont win it'll be arguably the biggest choke in the history of the sport.

Celtics beat the Heat with no Porzingis
Celtics beat the Cavs with no Porzingis
Celtics beat the Pacers with no Porzingis

So, like I have said since day 1

Win, irrelevant
Lose, choke

you guys are amazing
