There are no more excuses for the Celtics

The only possible threats to them are in the West. All of their main competition in the East has key injuries

KP came up small for the Mavs, if he had gotten his usual 20 PPG the Mavs win in 7 against the Clippers but he shrunk to 13 ppg. He has an even easier role now with so many scoring threats ahead of him in the pecking order

The only thing getting in Bostons way is themselves, another Finals appearance should be a foregone conclusion

How many years have we been talking about how unbalanced the league is? How is it possible 2 teams with sub .500 records were fighting for a chance at a playoff spot while the rockets didn't even have a chance to play? This conference qualifying has been bs forever. Since the days that LeBum walked the east every season since his path has always been shitty. They should just do a top 16 teams with no play in tournament. Yea it will have more west teams but thats the point. Ok back to the point my bad.

Completely agreed. The play in tournament format gave LeBron +1 playoff appearances, would’ve been eliminated in the regular season

That was the original intent, to make sure the Lakers and LeBron get in to pump up their TV deals

Have you not watched the NBA the last couple of seasons? The East was literally as good or better than the West. Until this season of course.
