No.We ever had sweeps in both conference finals?
4-0/4-1 has happened four times as the closest.

That sucks. Wanted Boston to face the best version of Indy so they stay sharp and work at it. Now they'll probably sleepwalk to a close game tonight and either barely win it late or actually lose.Haliburton out for game 3. That is a bummer.
Yeah, I was thinking the same. Boston will find a way to lose this
Carlisle boning multiple end of game decisions this series. Nembhardt seemed out of control there nothing was set just take a timeout.
Pacers should be up 2-1 and instead down 0-3
Such a clutch defender.Exactly. Holiday beat him to the spot. Perfect positioning. Not a foul. Holiday had every right to be there, since he got there first.He more fell over than was knocked down. That would have been an absolute terrible call there. Young guy gotta learn to be strong with the ball in the waning minutes. They aren't gonna call muchHe knocked him downThey let guys touch ball handlers all game long, would have been a weak call, but absolutely 100% not a block.I mean, I don’t disagree, but he was absolutely fouled twice on that play. Once when Holiday smacked his arm and again when he clearly committed a blocking foul. Refs gotta call that.Carlisle boning multiple end of game decisions this series.

I think the memories and reputation of prior Celtics teams have influenced the expectations of this Celtics team. Boston should beat anyone in a 7-game series this year. They're not the same team. Games 1 and 3 against IND illustrate that. In the past, those were games they would have easily lost. Instead, they turned things up a notch and won. IMO, swapping out Smart for Holiday was the biggest single upgrade they made this season. I posted earlier that Boston is really hard to beat when they make 15 three point shots, and that mark is now up to 61-9.IMO, they have to have him to win the Finals. I don't think they can handle Gafford/Lively.
i have always liked broshae brossette take that to the bankOn Thursday, Oshae brissett surpassed Joel Embiid on the all time conference finals scoring list
Not only clutch defender, but he scored their last 5 points, including 3 FTs. That and 1 through Siakam was impressive and those 2 FTs after the steal were huge because it limited Indy to 3 pt attempts only with the 1.7 seconds.Such a clutch defender.Exactly.

bucks miss him so much take that to the bank brochachosJrue - that was a hell of a steal
He seems to do this every playoff.
They don’t really deserve an asterisk it’s not their fault and frankly anybody putting an asterisk on any sports title is kind of an idiot. If it was so easy why didn’t your team do it. THAT SAID, they are getting off easy but many teams have before and they are undoubtedly one of the best teams in the league.Maybe they win this year, maybe they don't, but hopefully the narrative will change if they win. I doubt it will, as people will want them to get an asterisk for playing so many teams with missing contributors.
Love the fact the he plays QB for the local team in his spare timei have always liked broshae brossette take that to the bankOn Thursday, Oshae brissett surpassed Joel Embiid on the all time conference finals scoring list
Uh, no.But IMO Kyrie can eat up Holiday and White with the dribble and get to the paint.
Maybe so, but two relative no names scored 32 and 23 against these stalwarts last nightUh, no.But IMO Kyrie can eat up Holiday and White with the dribble and get to the paint.

I was actually thinking about Payton and who the best defensive mate he would have had was. Then I saw that hersey Hawkins was on their finals team which I had totally forgotten and then I had to turn away before I went too far down who knows what rabbit holeRajon Rondo, Tony AllenHarper/Jordan?

I'd take The Glove and McMillan
Is horford a HOF candidate? I don’t know his numbers. I’m sure he’s made a few all nba teams. 2 college nattys. Been around forever. Probably got some D awards.
None. He's obviously faking because he is an unethical basketball player.So what kind of knee injury does Luka have that bleeds through during games?
5 MVPs....Is horford a HOF candidate? I don’t know his numbers. I’m sure he’s made a few all nba teams. 2 college nattys. Been around forever. Probably got some D awards.
He has five MVPs, 1 all-defense, and 1 all-nba. Since it's the basketball HOF, not the NBA HOF, those two college titles help.
Despite his longevity he doesn't really show up on any all-time stat lists (he's 75th in career rebounds, that's probably his best stat).
Basketball-reference gives him a 12.2% chance.

You mean 5 time All-Star, maybe?
The NBA is pretty bad at disclosing actual injuries. Makes the gambling that much more rigged.So what kind of knee injury does Luka have that bleeds through during games?
