TNT Crew: Kenny Smith the only guy that believes in the Celts

[Tr1boy]

Shaq thinks AB can't stop Irving ....  ok we will see about that.   Shutdown ok... who can, but if anybody can slow him down its AB.   Throw in Rozier, Smart ....Irving will have to work OT

Barkley states who is going to stop Thompson?   What about Horford?

How is Thompson going to deal with Horford, KO stretch capabilities??


Kenny Smith since half way of the season is the only one that has believed in the Celts. Bless him!    So happy to see the Celts beat the Wizards and take that grin off Barkley...

I love Barkley and the humor he brings to the TNT Crew.

But he's obviously a Celtics hater.

And Shaq I feel isn't too bad. He gives the C's credit where credit is due and is fair about them. Also played for them shortly LOL.

But he's not entirely wrong either. AB will do his best on Irving but Irving will have some great games too. Should be a fun battle.

Who's going to stop IT? That's a better question, SHAQ, you big dope.

I expect IT to ball out this series (better match ups for him), but hopefully AB and Horford continue to stay hot.

That's our only chance, along with the bench contributing every game.

The Celtics need to play a very physical series. The Cavs biggest fear during this series is injury. That might them play a little tight.

Kelly more than did his job in game 7 and I will never hate on him again.  But, now it's time for him to do his job and pull out Love's shoulder.  haha.  The rebounding of Thompson and Love is going to be hard for us, but hopefully we can make up for it by causing a lot of turnovers...

Thompson is one of the most mobile bigs in the league.

Cavs are clear favorites going into this series though. What ticked me off about Kenny was how he was defending Zaza Pachulia.

AB didn't do much last game did he? He'll have a great game then disappear he's hard to count on

offensively... not defensively

[chambers]

We have had a brutal 7 game series.
Bill Simmons says IT has a broken chin too.

We just don't have enough weapons to stop Lebron right now.
Hopefully we can trade for Butler or PG13 this offseason to get some help defending him AND scoring on other end. Crowder can't do both.

At this rate he might finish the playoffs in a Bane style mask.
