Part of the reason he says that is because we're 1-12 in our last 13 games @TOR (on the road). He says that'll have to change for the C's to win a series against them especially since it's likely TOR has home court against BOS.

To be honest, he's not entirely wrong. We were also 1-7 in the road last year's playoffs (while 10-1 at home) so we may have to prove ourselves on the road this year to have a chance at making the Finals.

I'm a bit surprised Scal didn't say MIL though. He barely even mentioned them actually. Scal assumes it's likely TOR-BOS in the ECF...  ???

I still think MIL poses a greater threat.

I’d love it if C’s made it to the finals. But without HCA and this team unable to win much on the road, I can’t see us getting past either of MIL or TOR

recapturing HCA is just splitting the opening series...

Bucks is just Giannis....if GA comes down or slowed down by injury then they are toast.

raptors and Cs are surviving at the top end of the conference despite Kawhi and Kyrie missing time here and there.

i'm convinced this team either comes together in the playoffs and we win the whole [dang] thing or the wheels fall off completely and there's a complete meltdown and the team gets bounced in embarrassing fashion early in the playoffs.

unfortunately if I had to pick it'd have to be the 2nd scenario. simply because looking at all the nonsense surrounding this team all season it'd be awfully difficult picturing the issues just disappearing.

then again the 2 other NE teams that won championships this yr. we thought the same thing.

Still think Milwaukee wins the East beating Toronto in a close series in the ECF.

I still refuse to believe the Celts will not, at the very least, get to the east finals this year.

The playoffs is different.

Last season the #1 seed Raptors couldn't even win one game against the #4 Cavs.

Packers fans are annoying. I enjoyed watching the Bears stuff it to Aaron Rodgers even as a Pats fan.
