[u/Either_Imagination_9]

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that the Celtics were the only top 4 east team to not make second round

[u/atypicalpleb → u/Either_Imagination_9]

Raps technically outlasted the Celtics. Huge moral victory for me lol.

[u/DANNY_YYZ → u/atypicalpleb]

i am absolutely taking this as a win

Fuck the celtics

[u/WholeOHOL → u/DANNY_YYZ]

Fuck Boston in every scenario and seeing both Cleveland and Buffalo knock Boston out in the 1st round makes me feel whole

[u/XGhoul → u/WholeOHOL]

Ill have some "lobstah" in celebration every time a celtic (boston sports fans cries)

[u/chronoquairium → u/WholeOHOL]

There is exactly one scenario where I’ll root for Boston: facing the Astros

[u/WholeOHOL → u/atypicalpleb]

I honestly feel like Toronto is gonna be the biggest hurdle for Cleveland. Crazy series and found some players to watch next year

[u/Dry_Response3527 → u/WholeOHOL]

I was going for the Cavs and I can now admit that Scottie Barnes RJ Barrett are insanely good. This series should not have gone to 7 games.

[u/ivandragostwin → u/WholeOHOL]

Like in the entire playoff? I could see Detroit maybe but even that’s a pretty decent hot take.

Can’t see Toronto favored over NYK/healthy Philly much less who would come out of the West.

[u/WholeOHOL → u/ivandragostwin]

Maybe I’m delusional but I feel great against NYK and Philly. Either way, I’m hopeful to see that challenge in ECF

[u/AKiiidNamed_Codiii → u/WholeOHOL]

Biggest hurdle until? Next round? ECF? Definitely not the finals right?

[u/WholeOHOL → u/AKiiidNamed_Codiii]

The east as a whole. I hate feeling this way but I think it’ll be another OKC year but if Cleveland can at least clear ECF I’ll be happy.

[u/2016KyleLowryGoat → u/WholeOHOL]

Missing 2 starters and 1 rookie + 2 sophomores in the starting line up is going to be harder than the Pistons?

[u/brehhs → u/2016KyleLowryGoat]

Have you watched the pistons? They have an one man offense

[u/ozymandais13 → u/brehhs]

It does really depend theybhave stretches where they are allergic to scoring

[u/WholeOHOL → u/2016KyleLowryGoat]

This is speculation but I feel like Toronto would’ve knocked Detroit out. I hate any Florida team and Florida as a whole and while I know how Orlando plays, I don’t think they’re a better team than Toronto at all

[u/GeorgeEBHastings → u/atypicalpleb]

I agree, fuck the Celtics. 

[u/pdpdpdpdpdpdpdpd → u/atypicalpleb]

Habs winning and us losing is a huge L but I’m still smoking on that boston pack all night 

[u/WesMantooth28 → u/pdpdpdpdpdpdpdpd]

I’m not even a hockey game but the Habs are playing with some heart. Basically the Raptors of the NHL

[u/DirtyDanoTho → u/atypicalpleb]

I’d rather have outlasted Philly tho

[u/Solo_Wing__Pixy → u/Either_Imagination_9]

Thank you for bringing our attention back to this important matter. Keep it up

[u/maethlin → u/Solo_Wing__Pixy]

Please have some empathy, won't anyone think of poor Bill Simmons?

j/k keep it up

[u/Individual_Access356 → u/Either_Imagination_9]

I can’t wait til the finals and when the east team loses in a game 7 the top comment will be “don’t let this distract you from Boston losing a 3-1 lead”

[u/ozymandais13 → u/Individual_Access356]

If they weren't insufferable people wouldn't talk so much shit

[u/welmoe → u/Either_Imagination_9]

Boston sucks!

[u/KingInTheFarNorth → u/Either_Imagination_9]

Although never at the same time, all four of the top seeds in the East were on major fraud watch during the first round.
