    The Knicks are so banged up. I think Indy probably prevails and then Boston crushes them.

    We will be a terror in the 2030s after all the picks. Book it!

    Lol. It's why i don't care if we have to wait a couple years, we aren't competing for a while so I don't lose sleep over it.

    I'd give NY better odds as they only need to win 1 of the next 2. I'd probably consider Indy the favorite in any 1 game.

    I expect Indiana to run all over NY tonight, much like the Wolves did against Denver did last night.......two good potential game 7s. I am
    regretting the plans I agreed to for Sunday.

    Game 7 between DEN and MIN will determine the NBA champs this year

    Thats what I think as well.

    If Porzingis was healthy I'd probably pick them over Minnesota, but still a close series. Porzingis might be the most important Celtic as the other 4 keys starters can all take on most of each others roles. Its a much bigger dropoff from Porzingis to ~40 year old Horford.

    Everytime somebody brings up Horford, I think to myself, "this guy is still playing?". It's been like that for a few years now I think. I'm surprised with his longevity.

    Yeah, and just think how old Oden would be now, given that he was about 55 when the Blazers took him in that draft.

    That’s probably because his knees are so worn down that he’s only 5’8”.

    Celtics should have an easy time of this.
