It made today a bit easier to swallow. 1

Yeah, I know...was still holding out hope that he might be ready by the second round of the playoffs. I really have enjoyed watching them so much this year...just such a gut punch. I really thought they were a shoe-in for the ECF, at minimum...now, anything past the first round will be a real achievment. Sucks that the two guys who were supposed to be the cornerstones of this new era of Celtic basketball (Gordon and Irving) go down. Oh well, that is sports...no guarantees. I suppose I should take solace in the fact that Stevens has been able to develope a hell of a bench.

But from a long view, I don’t think they were beating the Cavs in a 7 game series anyway. The young guys are getting a ton of experience with Kyrie and Hayward out, and if both are healthy next year watch out. 1

Hopefully Kyrie and Hayward are a full go next fall. On 4/6/2018 at 8:15 PM, YoloinOhio said: It sucks because now I’m not even excited for the playoffs.

I think the C's would have been favored but I could see Lebron winning it. I'm not excited either but I will still watch. The kids play hard.

I was fully expecting a long playoff run for the Celtics...now I will watch, just happy if they can pull out a series. They may be able to beat Milwaukee...maybe. Just such an abrupt end to what had been such a fun season. If it comes down to it, I can root for LeBron...but it doesn't excite near as much as a Celtics run might have.
row_33 Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 The East is a matter of who is able or willing to bother showing up for the playoffs. Anything could happen this year. Most expected scenario is LeBron basically get to the Finals with a big effort on his own.
Another Fan Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 That Andre Ingram story with the Lakers was awesome. Waited 10 years to get a shot at the NBA
