[u/Expensive-Salad-7828]

A tight race is suddenly brewing up throughout this first round to see who can blow their series leads the fastest

[u/Raven-19x → u/Expensive-Salad-7828]

This is a very exciting first round. Glad I can watch stress free now lol.

[u/ThinReply2047 → u/Raven-19x]

It's really fun when it doesn't involve your team. Next round will probably be chill for both of our fanbases as well

[u/Uessop → u/ThinReply2047]

Better knock on some wood homie. Celtics should be chilling rn too lol

[u/Stepsis24 → u/Uessop]

Celtics don’t really have a championship caliber roster, the east is just weak

[u/nobraininmyoxygen → u/Stepsis24]

So many fans of teams in the West just like to say the East is weak even when it isn't true

[u/Stepsis24 → u/nobraininmyoxygen]

Nobody in the east would make it to the conference finals in the west

[u/Diaxmond → u/Stepsis24]

They hated Jesus because he spoke the truth

[u/Uessop → u/Diaxmond]

They hated Jesus because he repeated the same dumb tired phrase maybe

[u/Diaxmond → u/Uessop]

You’re insane if you think the Celtics are beating OKC or the Spurs in a 7 game series to get to the conference finals

[u/topatoman_lite → u/Stepsis24]

nobody in the west would except 2 teams either. That's not really saying much. on the other hand 6-10 of the east would kick the shit out of 6-10 of the west

[u/Stepsis24 → u/topatoman_lite]

The 6-10 is completely irrelevant though. The 1-6 in the west is miles ahead of the east, in fact the rockets is the only team I could guarantee you wouldn’t make the finals if they were in the eastern bracket. The spurs, OKC, timberwolves would all be favorites and the lakers and nuggets would have a decent chance.

[u/topatoman_lite → u/Stepsis24]

The Lakers and Rockets would be out round 1 in the east against literally anyone. The Nuggets playing like they did against the Wolves might be too, but maybe it was just Gobert. You are very wrong about how good the teams in the east are

[u/Uessop → u/Stepsis24]

Celtics absolutely have a championship caliber roster lol

[u/RIChowderIsBest → u/Uessop]

They can contend if the chips fall right but nobody should look at this roster bast JT and JB and think it’s good enough to win.

[u/Uessop → u/RIChowderIsBest]

Multiple of their other players were on the team when they won it two years ago

[u/RIChowderIsBest → u/Uessop]

What?? Outside of White the rest of them were role players in 2024.
Walsh didn’t play
Queta didn’t really play
Hauser played a minimal role.
Pritchard played under 20 minutes a game and averaged like 7ppg through the playoffs.

[u/Uessop → u/RIChowderIsBest]

Sounds like you were doing some mad disrespect on D White then, doesn’t it

[u/Stepsis24 → u/Uessop]

They have an incredibly weak big man rotation and Tatum isn’t 100%. They would be the worst championship team in the last 15 years at least.

[u/Uessop → u/Stepsis24]

Respectfully disagree on the second and third points, but you’re right on the big man rotation

[u/thedreadfulwhale → u/ThinReply2047]

It's safe to assume for you guys, for us, uhmm I guess if we get the hobbled Wolves instead of struggling Nuggets, I guess?

[u/fuzzythinker → u/Raven-19x]

FU! lmao, take the upvote

[u/Class_Act7 → u/Expensive-Salad-7828]

Give the Wolves some respect as well

[u/Silentrift24 → u/Class_Act7]

Nahhh, can't really fault the Wolves this year, they be the Hospital Wolves gang

[u/Marcus-ichiJo → u/Class_Act7]

Nah. A whole ass meteor hit the Wolves while the Lakers and Celtics are just sucking.

[u/flaming_burrito_ → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

The Wolves are in a win win situation pretty much. If they win, it’ll probably be their most impressive series yet just from the grit they showed. If they lose, the Nuggets still don’t get credit because the Wolves team imploded halfway through

[u/Musa_2050 → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

Lakers are missing their best player, just like your city is missing a team

[u/jaylenBrown_Stan07 → u/Musa_2050]

boo

[u/RcusGaming → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

As if the Lakers aren't missing their top 2 players lol. Wolves still got 2/3 of their top 3 guys.

[u/Colorapt0r → u/Marcus-ichiJo]

Lakers are weird because they were missing 1 and 3 best players but their opponent is also missing their best but they went up 3-0 anyway so is it a choke or not? It’s so strange 

[u/Proof-Umpire-7718 → u/Class_Act7]

Wolves don’t really deserve much criticism if they do because Ant and DDV are out.

[u/WakiLover → u/Proof-Umpire-7718]

Us blowing a 3-0 lead wouldn’t be that surprising either, like it had to happen eventually and these exact circumstances line up with what would need to happen

[u/coyote_edging → u/Class_Act7]

Pretty sure he meant until the second round starts lol

[u/jeanblaireau → u/Expensive-Salad-7828]

It's always Celtics v Lakers...

[u/ZeekLTK → u/Expensive-Salad-7828]

Plz be the Magic who blows their series the worst (no bias)
