Do you think if somehow the Celtics got out of the East that they could have beaten GSW, given the injuries? Assuming same unfortunate scenario with Klay and KD.
Obviously they looked helpless at the end against Milwaukee but hypothetically if they could get to the Finals could they have pulled it off?
I don’t think so. Maybe if Tatum and brown stepped up a bit more then there is a slight chance. Kyrie did horrible too. So if they all played their part then, probably, yes
Not a Cs fan, but a Simmons fan, so I feel like I’m always in the know.
I was onboard the Cs hype train coming into the season.
Honestly, it seems like the Kyrie stuff was just too much, and that team was just done with each other. I think on paper they could have done it for sure, but the chemistry was just non-existent by the playoffs.
Celtics were too inconsistent on a quarter to quarter basis in the playoffs for me to believe we’d have won anything past the Pacers series, despite all the talent we had
It depends what team showed up. If it was the team that we saw on the west coast road trip during the regular season then yes, but if it was the team we saw for most of the season then no. Even with the Warriors injuries we still would have needed to play great team basketball like the Raptors, and the Celtics only showed they could play great team ball only a handful of times throughout the season.
And btw Idt the Celtics could have beaten the Raptors in a seven game series unless there was a big injury on the Raptors side. But if it were the Sixers we could have made it
