If Boston had beaten Miami, and Jaylen Brown didn’t sell and JT didn’t get hurt on the first possession. Do y’all think Boston beats Denver why? And why not?
Our crunch time offense was still too limited, so it would be very hard.
Probably not
The team wasn’t really ready to win last year, Joe didn’t have time to install his system completely and build the team for it, the team didn’t really make sense and we’re basically put in position to fail
In theory probably not. But I do wonder what the psyche of being the first team to ever come back from 3-0 would be like. And what it would do to Denver too, they may have been even more locked in than if Celtics just beat the Heat in a normal way.
One things for certain though. Grant Williams would either truly earn his Batman nickname or get demoted to Robin
The question is basically does a healthy Celtics beat the Nuggets in the Finals. I agree with basically everyone…no, they don’t. Some of the weaknesses the Celtics displayed in the ECF would’ve been exposed in the Finals too. Nuggets would’ve hunted mismatches and Celtics would not be able to counter. Nuggets could throw multiple different bodies at the Jays, don’t see how the Celtics counter it. Nuggets just the better team with the better lead guy too last season and better coach.
No. Their offense as a whole was just so bad and inconsistent for the entirety of the playoffs. They definitely had the best guys out of any team to guard Jokić and Murray though. I think it goes 6 games.
No, probably lost in 6 again
