The Warriors had it easy two years ago. The Celtics had to play teams with Giannis, Kyrie, Durant and Butler. Horford was the healthiest Celtic when they played them in the finals.
Exactly! It's funny how people forget how the Celtics had to work hard to earn this "easy" path. 15 other teams in the eastern conference failed to do that.
Facts!! People forget if you handle business in the regular season you can rest your players before the playoffs. Yea KP is hurt but getting that 1 seed we was able to get the 8 seed yea they was hurt but that’s what happens when your star try’s to take it easy in the regular season and trying to turn it on one the playoffs. You are more likely to get hurt that way and that’s why Jimmy is always so burn out when they had those runs cause he don’t play hard during the regular season
Easy? LOL western teams can beat the number 1 seeded teams your conference is weaker you all got beat by the Heat that tells me a lot about your conference
That’s subjective, I was just talking about seeding. Western Conference weren’t consider alot better last year when The Bucks and Philly were considered just as good as any Western Conference team last year.
Bro how stupid are people?😭 seed doesn’t fckn matter if a number 8 seed beats a number 2 seed 4/7 games means that the 8th seed was the better team all along. Not to mention not a single team even came close to beating the nuggets no true competition so they would’ve easily beaten any other team that played them.
This is reason why you need to get 1st seed. People assume butler is going to defeat this year boston ? Come on man… Cavs vs celtics? Celtics don’t have the unicorn the entire series, most game were blown out. And in fact the cavs were much better mitchell isn’t playing. Caris levert ain’t changing a thing even if hes healthy for last game
Nah that would be the 2022 Warriors. They beat the Nuggets without Murray and Porter Jr, they made sure to take Morant out halfway through the series against Memphis and then they faced a Mavericks team with a 22 year old Luka.
@GardeniaBlossoms_ Because now that they're almost positive we will win this time, they're shifting the goal posts. Sports fans and sports media hates Boston.
This is always a thing. Like did lebron not just coast when he caught the Celtics in the Ecf sans kyrie? We want to pretend the Celtics were something they weren’t now. And Tatum and brown did step up. But losing Kyrie just before playoffs is exactly or worse than losing butler or Mitchell.
You say easy huh not for long. Brunson has been unstoppable this post season and the pacers have learned how to play defense especially at home. Celtics fans don’t expect the conference finals to be easy
The great LeBron and his glorious “ 7 year NBA FINAL STREAK “ ….played 1…..YES..I REPEAT..1 ALL NBA FIRST TEAMER in the eastern conference, on the way to the finals…7 times in a row, in that whole entire run, And that player was …Derrick Rose in 2011. 7 years straight to the finals and faced 1 NBA first teamer in that stretch . Plus his 2,3 or 4 other hall of famers that he needed as well, to win that weak conference, year after year. Sorry budddddy, No comparison.
So tired of everyone saying its an easy run we dont control who we play and they are still a Legitimate NBA team so i expect a hard grind out series not a blow out like all these idiotic pundits say we should do.
I'm not so sure. The Pacers are healthy and don't really give a shit what happens next, seeing as they've gone much deeper than anyone expected. That can be a dangerous combination.
...yep' ...so its just like saying Magic Johnson's Lakers also have easiest WEST then because he made it 9x times to the Finals🏆 easily, ...while in the EAST there was Larry Bird's Boston -vs- Isaiah Thomas Pistons -vs- Michael Jordan's Bulls, they need to beat each other so hard...!
Dude IS DOES MATTER HOW MANY WIN THEIR OPPONENT GOT ...BECAUSE BOSTON AND DENVER GOT THE 1ST SEED OF COURSE THEY WILL FACE THE LOWER SEED YOU CAN CALL IT EASY...BUT THERE EARN IT BY BEING A 1 SEED IN THERE CONFERENCE
The Timberwolves are in big problem because every team that has eliminated the defending champions has went on to lose. I hope that the Timberwolves will not be that team. I want the Timberwolves to win the NBA Title this year. Especially, when they are healthy.
I mentioned the 2013 Heatles in the video, but I think that Pacers team in the ECF was better than any of the teams on this run. The warriors I can agree the 2017 run when they played the Spurs without Kawhi in the WCF is pretty comparable
That just means no excuses, what u said is obviously true and they should deliver and if they can’t get banner 18 it’s a failure tbh, especially with no nuggets anymore
I'm a Celtics fan and I have a problem with the fanbase I made a joke that it would be funny if this Indian series went to seven after being up 3-0 and everyone got mad at me so because of that when they get to final I'm rooting against them *I'm not I love this team*
as a Celtics fan,saying the Celtics don’t have bench depth is absurd that’s like me saying the reason the knicks lost the ecsf is because the didn’t have a bench which they do but due to injuries that don’t have their full roster still the reason why they lost
Is anyone besides KP hurt? I mean their bench is fine, I like Pritchard and Sam Hauser is just a shooter. Horford is obviously starting for now, and he’s holding up surprisingly well for his age. But there’s not really anyone else I trust on the team besides the 5 starters and those 3 guys. Let me know if I’m wrong tho, it’s hard to know about every bench player in the league. I bet most non Knicks fan don’t know how valuable Deuce is, cuz the season stats don’t necessarily show it
the entire east conference is cake walk, the top 5 seeds not including the Celtics would be in the play or not in the play offs in the west lol, east is jus an embarrassing as a whole
I Dont want this video to be construed as me hating the Celtics. I am a knicks fan, but I’m not just hating to hate. I understand they won 64 games this season and earned the 1 seed. I say in the video many times that this team is stacked, my point is just that this is a weak conference riddled with injuries, even for an Eastern Conference that has been historically weak. At the end of the day, you can only play who is in front of you
Okay so by your logic, if your Knicks went against the teams the Celtics played, you’d be complaining? I’m sure you’d be at the top of the Empire State building screaming “Knicks in 5”. The Celtics have NO control over who they play. It’s the playoffs, players get hurt. It’s not our fault other teams we are playing against has injured players. We’re also missing our X factor KP so idk why people act like we’re not dealing with injuries too🤷🏻♂️
@@dumbdaryl when have I EVER said it was the Celtics fault? I’m just saying it’s been an easy run thus far as the East is weak and with a ton of injuries. Just a fact
@@dumbdaryl not discrediting, just pointing out it was an easy playoff run they’ve had. Do you not agree with that? I said many times throughout the video, they are a super talented team that could easily win the finals
To everyone complaining that the Celtics have it easy… that’s how seeding works, if you’re the 1st seed you get easier matchups, it’s a reward for dominating the regular season.
