Jokic getting injuried and missing the finals or the playoffs is our only hope. I don’t see other scenario where we beat them in 7 games, anything else is hopium imo.
Also, we don’t have a player of LeBron James caliber.

Cavs had the second greatest player ever in his prime and matched up well against the warriors pre-KD because Barnes was the weak link and they could go big and slow the game down.
Nuggets match up well against us and have the best player in the world
millymills420420
Do we have lebron?
Jeanheins
You talking bout the 2nd greatest player of all time (hate that mf but game recognize game) we donât have that. Maybe if we have JT and JB do a fusion dance and become one yeah.. RIP Akira Toriyama đą
coacoanutbenjamn
Yeah because we totally had 2016 LeBron on this team
Stop with the copium and do yourselves a favor and accept that we probably arenât winning shit this season, yet again
cityboy242
We don’t have a prime Lebron or Kyrie tho
justiceway1
I don’t really think this is a morale boost. The Cavs needed a lot of things to go their way in addition to pulling up the biggest comeback ever to win that year.

We couldve easily won both games. We are right there with them. We lost both but it sucks but to say they are clearly a better team idk I havent seen it yet
D3uceeee
They had lebron the GOAT, we have Bricktum the LOAT (loser of all time)
ImeStopPlayingDennis
So basically if Jamal Murray kicks Tatum in the nuts during the finals and gets suspended we have a shot

The warriors beat themselves in the finals and Lebron got a generational whistle in that series

This is regular season game in March. It literally means nothing.

Didnât the Cavs fired Blatt after that 2nd lost to the Warriors lol

This stuff is normal. The Celtics swept the Heat in 2011⊠and the Heat went to the Finals, and lost but still. Tom Brady never beat Mahomes in the regular season, he did beat him 2 times in the playoffs though. This is a normal thing in sports. If we see them in the Finals Iâll be very excited

One difference: lebron

And the warriors would have easily won the final were it not for green being an idiot

I think everyone in this sub should be banned from the parade this year

Listen, that was an awesome fucking game last night. I wanna see seven games of that. That was a great goddamn basketball game, even if the outcome was unpleasant.
Beating Denver will be extremely hard. Itâs a good reminder that Denver is still top too if the mountain, just like they were coming into the year. I dont see how anybody would think we just automatically surpassed them because we have a better record in the other conference.
Itâs gonna take us firing on all cylinders to beat them, but thereâs absolutely no reason to think itâs impossible.
Make our free throws and we win that game. A couple plays go the other way last game, we have it. Weâve been in these spots before with other teams and have leveled up.
Frustrating loss, but we were right there with them with Tatum having a total stinker.
Anybody thinking a championship is guaranteed or expected is not worth listening to.

I mean the fact that we have to go back almost ten years isnât exactly boosting.

Delusional fan base is delusional.
thatboyrahhh
My memory is a bit foggy but if I recall, the 2016 Cavs might have had a player who was pretty decent and better than anyone the Celtics have ever had.
wellbreastfed
Cavs had a clutch player who was capable of leading the team
JogratHyperX
Were getting too ahead of ourselves here. We should mind surviving the East first before talking about the Finals đ

All these Copium posts are hilarious. Yâall are soft, Celtics in 3

Everyone just needs to fucking relax. Itâs honestly ridiculous, if we lose at all everyone in this sub starts instantly panicking like the team plane just crashed. Chill. We shouldâve beat them in the first game but we were outplayed in the second half. We could have very well beaten them last night but a few of our Star players didnât show up. If we make it to the finals this year that means weâve fixed our most glaring issues and we should be in full form if we meet the nugs in the championship round. Right now everyone needs to focus on the fact that we need to MAKE it to the finals before we even think about facing Denver again.

I think the better comparison would be the KG-PP Nets winning the season series vs the Heatles and losing 1-4 to them in the Playoffs.
plantsandvinyls
Itâs nice to know what theyâre doing wrong still pretty early so they have the tape to fix it! Donât want to start working on mistakes in the play offs we gotta realize they dudes are still human

Lemme call and ask 2016 Lebron to come help đ

Everybodyâs so worried about the Nuggets. Letâs get through the Heat, Bucks, Cavs, Sixers first and see if they even get there too. Then we can shit ourselves about being 0-2 against them.
