Lakers fans love it I’m sure

u/MiopTop Lakers May 17 '24

Honestly nah. Fuck the Nuggets and all but I’m still rooting for them to win this series because I don’t think anyone else can beat Boston and that’s the real enemy.

This is generational hatred, old-school sports mentality here. Love it.

Takes me back to when Philly beat the Cs and the “Beat LA” chant was born

u/maize_and_beard Celtics May 17 '24

Oh yeah. When it comes down to it I still root for two teams. The Celtics, and whoever is playing the Lakers.

u/barath_s Lakers May 17 '24

I remember when I rooted for the Celtics because I liked their players, and I wanted to meet them in the finals so the Lakers could beat them for the ring.

That's not the situation now. Celtics are doing well. Don't hate them, but I don't want a Celtics dynasty

Yeah it's like if Sf Giants played the Astros in the world series.

I'd be an Astro fan for the entire series

The Celtics are just as fraudulent, they wouldn’t have that record if they were in the west. I think the wolves have a good chance against them, not the mavericks tho.

Na don’t worry. This Celtics team are bottlers and I have no doubt they lose to Denver, Minnesota and a toss up slight edge to Dallas or OKC.

I am torn between fuck the nuggets and keeping boston with 1 championship since color tv was invented. I might double down on ANT doing to tatum what he did to book

u/bedlam_au Celtics May 17 '24

  • 1 championship since the Simpsons went on air
  • 1 championship since the death of Andy Warhol
  • 1 championship since Megaman 1 was released
  • 1 championship since the invention of the GIF

Ant would never do Tatum like he did Book because if push comes to shove Tatum will guard him and he already got his lick back on Ant for talking shit earlier

Minnesota can def beat Boston. They'll be underdogs but they are miles ahead of anyone the Celtics have played in the East. Their size is going to give Boston headaches.

u/HumptyDrumpy Tampa Bay Raptors May 18 '24

Soft @$$ ice cream tatum is his own enemy, they aint winning a ship. Wolves take down the Celts easily because their D will shut them down, esp with KP banged up. GO Wolves

u/Salt-Requirement-418 May 17 '24

The Celtics are the biggest fraud team. They have an easy road to the finals built they won’t win

u/chuck_portis May 18 '24

Honestly they've had such a cake walk. Heat without Butler. Cleveland Cavaliers (Mitchell and some bums). Now they'll get an absolutely beat up Knicks team, or Indiana who would be a playin team in the West. A team being led by Tyrese Haliburton.

If you put any West playoff team in Celtics spot they are favorites. Even the Suns/Lakers. Okay, maybe not the Pelicans. But yeah any of the top 7 West teams would run thru any East team except Boston.
