Middleton will be out for the whole series, as the Conference Semis get underway, with Milwaukee vs Boston and Golden State vs Memphis.

Well that was awful.

As I've said before, Green is a dirty player. To add to it he also celebrates his dirty play and lies about it afterword while trying to make himself the victim.

Never cared much for him..............

And that's how you answer back! Now lets take that attitude to Milwaukee.

Wow, what an end to game 3. That fault on smart at least looked really close to a shooting fault. Horford tip in just a fraction too late.

Celtics no fear the deer. L for the Bucks.

Gino time in game 7!

 

[King Boonen]

Bucks fans right now.

And the Mavericks destroy the Suns to advance to the WCF.

Celtics Heat is going to be interesting. I'm confident the Celtics can get it done though.

Warriors Mavericks seems like a Warriors win, but the Mavs are on a roll right now.

Miami have been pretty solid the past few seasons. I don't expect a quick series. Bucks were a little off their best and the Celtic blew a few games they should have won. The Middleton injury didn't help the Bucks. The 76ers and Nets were the fails of the playoffs so far. Playoff Harden fails again. What Simmons can add to the Nets remains to be seen, at least their defense should improve. The 76ers seriously need another good, consistent scorer to back up Embiid.

Miami have been disrespected asmuch as the Celtics it feels like. Number one seed and still dismissed by pretty much anyone until they reach the ECF (again). Celtics had to cope without Smart and then without Timelord. Middleton is a big deal, but so are those guys, especially Timelord for the rebounds. The Celtics weren't great at times but I honestly think it's more because the opposition is so good in the play-offs rather than teams performing worse.

I'd really like to see Celtics Mavs in the finals.


Harden, and Kyrie, are going to cause massive headaches for the 76ers and Nets. Neither of them deserve a max contract, but chances are someone will offer them big money to go elsewhere. KD clearly wants Kyrie there, and with him and Simmons there the Nets really don't have much room to change their squad. They can fiddle around the edges, but unless Kyrie and Simmons step up, next year is looking very similar.

Nice wins for the Warriors and Miami in game 1.

 

[King Boonen]

Great bounce back by the Celtics. They've won 7 of the 8 quarters of basketball they've played against the Heat and that's very promising. Fingers crossed that continues.

Warriors look like they're going to show you what happens when Luka has to take on a team, rather than a couple of stars. As great as Luka is, I feel like he gets a bit of a pass on defence and that won't cut it against the Warriors.

 

[King Boonen]

Celtics are busted up, Heat are busted up, Warriors are walking it. Whoever makes it, it's going to be interesting to see who they can get on the floor in the finals.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Game 7 tonight, with the winner facing the Warriors, whoever wins that series will be interesting.

 

[King Boonen]

Huge win, so pleased and I caught the last quarter after being woken up.

Now on to the Finals and fingers crossed the few days rest will mean we see both teams at full strength.

 

[Ultrairon]

Celtics still in it. Appears from previous posts that Movingtarget and Unchained are unhappy. Makes me feel great. Keep up the hate.

 

[movingtarget]

Should be a good final series. Still think it goes 7 games.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Celtics with the come from behind win in Game 1, Warriors just can’t run 4 quarters from my observation.

It was nice to see Green make three errors in less than a minute to seal the deal for BOS. I don't like to cheer against players, but I like him less than any player in the league.

BOS winning the first game on the road changes the series a lot IMO.
