    Statistically, the best team from the WC versus the best team from the EC. Should be a fun game. Celts are due for a letdown though - I'm predicting Boston either wins a close one, or gets blown out. Hopefully, Curry plays.

    Dunno how it'll turn out, but if Boston had its full complement of players, this might have been one of the best games of the year.

    Am I the only one or is area 21 just absolutely awful. I don't get it, I don't like it and I don't want to see or hear it

    What was the point of that pass?
    Was he near a triple double?
    He did not seem to be any more out of control than normal

    Just when you thought this game was over, Celtics come storming all the way back.

    This game has an 85% chance of going to overtime with the Rockets playing the late game.

    Chuck wondering how Celtics are winning these games. I still can't believe it either. Up and down the Celtics roster, no one scares me. It's all hustle and want to.

    I wouldn't be mad if Harden sacrifices some of his offensive brilliance for just a little bit of hustle..

    pretty easy to understand why the celtics are winning these games.

    they have the best defense in the nba so far. they're number 1 in opponents ppg and defensive rating.

    their length on the perimeter is crazy.

    i always thought the celtics were a pretty small team last year. last year they had 5-9 IT at pg, 6-2 avery bradley at sg, and 6-6 crowder at sf.

    now they have 6-3 kyrie at pg, 6-7 jaylen brown at sg, and 6-8 tatum at sf.

    that length on the perimeter is giving teams fits.

    I disagree. Outside Jaylen and Tatum you mentioned, they don't have anyone that has "crazy length". Bucks have crazy length. Boston just have guys out there that buy in and don't give up.

    there is no outside of jaylen and tatum. that's a very big part of their defense. a 6-7 shooting guard and 6-8 SF who both play good defense and are athletic is devastating in this current nba where every thing comes form the perimeter. they shut down passing lanes and close out on shooters easily and get really good contest.
    .
    but i guess we'll agree to disagree then.
