And let's not forget that LA did not even make the playoffs!...Sweet... Lakers thought they would be a dynasty after they got Lebron and AD. Right now it's looking like they die nasty! You've come back with new material!!

This first round shows the importance of having a solid defense. Unstoppable KD and KI were "humbled" by the Celtics defense in a 4 game sweep. Look at what MIA did to Trey Young and MIL is doing to DeRozan and Levine (out now due to Covid). What is the latest on Khris Middleton? Out for this round, questionable beyond. I think he may try to come back mid series, so we need to take advantage to get a lead. This is the latest: The Milwaukee Bucks are not a better team without three-time all-star Khris Middleton, but in the first-round matchup with the Chicago Bulls the addition of Bobby Portis to the starting lineup helped the team regroup after Middleton’s injury in a Game 2 loss.
Consecutive blowout wins in Chicago have the Bucks on the verge of ending the series in five games — but it won’t speed up the timeline for Middleton’s return from a sprained medial collateral ligament (MCL).
After Middleton was injured in the fourth quarter April 20, the team said the 30-year-old's status would be updated after about two weeks. Wearing a brace while watching his teammates win in Chicago, Middleton seemed in good spirits on the bench and in the hallways of the United Center.
Could he play in the next round?
“I hope so,” he said Friday morning. “For sure, they say two weeks. Hopefully I’ll be ready or close to getting back to the court around then.”

It would probably be best for us if the Bucks finished the Bulls tonight, so that our matchup could start as fast as it could, and hence, notorious C's killer Middleton would be out as much as possible.
Any word on how soon can Celtics-Bucks series begin? Sunday?

From another board... Nets Daily is on COMPLETE MELTDOWN! They're bringing out the pitchforks on Kyrie Irving: "irving talking about managing a franchise? what??" "kyrie wants an extension?" "There are so many fingers to point but it all comes down to Kyrie not getting vaxxed, a cancer if there ever was one. And who warned us? That's right the Celtics fans, how fitting. It must be nice to fleece us for Tatum and Brown in the draft, dump Kyrie on us, hire away Udoka and watch RW3 come back to help sweep as Simmons sits. Wow, just wow." Same guy above mentions that Kyrie thought it was important for teams to build from October and said everyone has to have everyone's back. He just said that after sitting out the season and deserrting his teammates. Self-awareness champ Kyrie Irving everyone hahahaha. "Bench Simmons is Ben's new name"...that's it I'm dedz. Not all of this was by design, but it's all true now.

So if kyrie was fasting for Ramadan, why would he tweet thanks to God instead of saying Allah? Surely he's not afraid to say Allah?

So, anyhow...super groovy that the C's kicked the Nets arse, but what the eff are we supposed to do for the next week?!?...Already worked on a problem with my car, have played catch a hundred times with my son, got ahead on all his homework, gone surfing, solved 320 of my wife's problems though evidently she does not want solutions but wants me to 'listen'...thinking of learning piano...starting to lose my marbles...

Watch the Red Sox? Being here 50 years I like SF teams, 49ers, Giants & Warriors. So you might watch the Warriors...could be us & them in the finals & I will root for us & be happy to see a couple of games. Oh, you know Sox play Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Adeline” after 8th inning. At A Giant Sox game they very nicely did it here...no animosity for Boston teams. And they did the wave. It’s for the LA teams!

Sort of a done deal that the Warriors win the west...not exactly exciting...

He's been the guy who beats us, when they do. They've played well without him though. Or maybe It's just that Chicago fell apart. What happened to Chicago?

Rwill, to me, is ben wallace 2.0. Then we have the tenacious wing defense (Tatum vs Prince). Al may be close to Rasheed, as if I remember correctly, Rasheed was no spring chicken by 2004. But both had a good combination of size + ability to defend away from the basket. Our guard defense might be better, because to me, Smart is prob a better defender than Rip + Chauncey.

They call it a "correction of Christianity" but thats too arrogant for my tastes. But they worship the Judaic-Christian God, they just call him Allah. But its the same entity.

To quote Scal.... "Everywhere KD goes.... there's another guy waiting for him!"
Celtic defense abuses Kevin Durant.

The sequence at 2:50 where Jaylen chases down Durant on a breakaway and blocks the shot from behind, and then comes down and hits a layup is pretty sweet!...
Going to be harder to stop Giannis because his only game is to drive inside and collect fouls...and the refs will give him them all day long...

Nah, just having some fun on the board...though I am actually quite bored waiting for the next Celtic game...sort of like the All star break...tried watching the Warriors game last night but only made it through the first half...family rioted against me...would watch the Padres, but my son only wants to see Tatis bat, and he is out...

It's confirmed, Middleton can't play in the series against Boston.

Wow, Middleton is out for the whole series. It's unfortunate but I'll take that. Let's still NOT relax now.
These two eastern conference series are gonna be great to watch. Philly vs Miami will be a dogfight as will Boston and Milwaukee.
If RWill is close to 100%, I think the C's have a great opportunity in front of them.
I love Jrue Holiday but they have nobody who can cover JT and JB.
