I saw that link and only 20 teams out of 282 won the series with down 0-2 in the first 2 games. Maybe we can say that the Celtics have a 7% chance of winning if they lose again in Game 2 Cheesy. The Celtics are currently in the lead right now but double digits as I started to watch (15 pts to be exact) and I hope that what happened in Game 1 will not happen again in Game 2 (have a huge lead but got lost still).
Now it 2-0 mia leads the series. Basing on your posts that only few team wins against 2-0 game in the series then higher chances it will miami to play in the championship game between lakers or nuggets whoever wins in their conference final.

If it will be lakers vs. miami then that would also be mean lebron vs. miami coach erik spoelstra. How does it feel to coach a team against a former player to a different team. Anyway, this is all about professionalism and sports game. Miami for sure will have great difficulty in winning against lakers that has strong players that include James Lebron.

I am just curious, who is the leader of the Celtics team?
If we will just base on the performance of the team, it is Tatum who acts as the leader of the team (I think). Maybe for some, it is Walker or Brown.

I don't think that he will contribute that much in Game 2 especially that he suffered from an injury and this is his first game since it happened but lets see how he will contribute. With him in the court, healthy and can contribute well I think that the Heat will have a hard time beating the Celtics right now because both of them are evenly matched and we saw it on Game 1 where it also went to Overtime Cheesy. Heat in 6-7 games still for me Smiley

Wow, big HEAT fan here.

If Heat will still win in game 2 then I think they will be the one who are going to advance in the NBA finals, that's based on the stats I read according to my research. You can read this one - https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/nba-teams-down-0-2-playoff-series-have-brutal-history..

NBA Teams Down 2-0 in Seven-Game Playoff Series Have a Brutal History

In the list, there are only few teams what were able to come back.
I'm usually a Warriors fan and will be even though they got eliminated that early this season. I will not follow the bandwagons out there who will just go to a team that is for them strong.

Not a big fan on the Heat though but aside from the Lakers, they are my 2nd bet for winning a championship. No need to explain you can just say it on their performance in the bubble, their current roster and their veteran coach.

Denver has been a good team,their chemistry is pretty awesome but people don't believe that they are a championship team.

That's something they have to prove.
Well, they are still halfway there to get that ring there's still WCF and Finals. To be honest, I guess LeBron and the squad will be the one to dominate on WCF and what I am rooting for the Finals to go head to head is with his past team Miami. They'll be battling once again with Igoudala when that happens.

Majority of us didn't really expected them to win but they just did and, everyone's telling that it's going to be both Los Angeles' teams that will be getting a face off soon.
Lot of  bettors lose money with the lose of the Clippers in the series and some for sure even bet on them winning the NBA finals.
That was really surprising but we have to move on, there's still  one LA, they need support.  Grin

This is now the time for Denver Nuggets to be noticed and get loads of fans from those people that never expected them to play like that. They really just broke most people's thought.

But I don't think that they'll be able to do the same thing against Lakers.
Urgh! It's really frustrating to be honest. I thought Clippers will advance and able to see a Beverly vs James drama again. *sigh But props to Denver. They really did a great job. Coming back from a 1-3 once maybe considered lucky, but doing the same thing again was already beyond that. No luck, just pure hustle. Let us see if they can beat the All Star Team Grin.

But actually, I'm not doubting them anymore. They prove to us that they had the heart of a champion. They surely have the chance to beat Lakers and advance to The Finals.
Don't be frustrated, everybody was surprised with it as if it just happened that nobody was expecting. I don't think that's luck that they have but it's them that were being underrated and here goes the next barrier that they need to surpass - The Lakers.

They may have the heart of a champion but all of the teams have the same feeling and no one wants to be beaten by any team. As I'm saying, all of them are aiming for the championships but every season is different and the expectation of many, it's going to be with Lakers.
Im even surprised on the series.I didnt expect that Denver would able to pull that game 5- game 7 game.I already concluded that LAC will close it on game 5 when its already on 3-1 run.
Everybody had already surely presume out that LAC will be on that last spot for West conf. finals but Denver did really make some shocking run.Well, this is a game and just like a ball
where its round and anything can really happen.Even the least favorite team will always have the chance to cling up to the ladder that goes to the finals but i doubt  that they would
able pull that one easily specially they would really be dealing with Lakers this time.

I doubt that some 22 year old could be the leader of any team. I understand that they could be star but leader and star are very different stuff, sometimes the player who is not the best player could be the leader of a team. Just to give an example Tim Duncan was the leader of Spurs even on his last year but to be perfectly honest he wasn't anywhere near where he used to be and didn't really possessed any threat, yet he was the leader.

Sometimes you just gotta take the characteristic of leadership instead of actually stardom, however usually they are similar people. I feel like the real leader there must be Kemba Walker, I know he has been there for just one season but honestly he has that type of reputation and I believe him to be that good in a leadership role if you ask me.

Well, these leaders are those players that has a reputation built within the team and also as a player. In terms of Tim Duncan, that is Tim Duncan, with the reputation he built in the past it is obvious that people would follow them because he just don't lead because he wants to but because he had something to back those up. That is why most of leaders are also the star of the team.

Irving never reach in the ECF, Celtics did reach during his time with them but he was injured during that time, so Walker is a good fit if they will again play in the ECF but they need to beat the Miami Heat which is a red hot team in the East now.

With their win last game, they still only have 1 lose in this entire playoffs so far.

Thanks for acknowledging the HEATS are 🔥🔥🔥🔥now.

Kyrie is a nice player, he's only lagging in performance due injuries, he's also a goto player for em Celtic, I'm anticipating his return to the league!

Give the credit to the Miami Heat, though that was a close game but a win is a win, if Celtics would like to tie the series and redeem themselves, they need to win game 2 tomorrow, and as a fan, I'm gonna wake up early to watch the game live.

We're winning game 2, 🔥🔥 for Celtic tonight.

Meanwhile, we can also look at some bad personal relation between Doc and PG, we know their history that PG has cheated on Doc's daughter which is now the wife of Seth Curry, so I think this is also one factor to consider, and maybe you guys will say, "hey! they are professionals"... well, maybe but things like this is hard to forget that's why I'm seeing that the chemistry of Denver is what beats the LA Clippers.

Chemistry is such a badass. It works every game even in down moments.
The Nuggets proved it. It's not just chemistry with players but also with their coach.
They can make jokes with Coach Malone and even spill water during an interview.  Grin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbfovqz035k

They are stronger now after waiting for 2 years. Nuggets management is good at preserving their players which made them better.
Stephen A says Kawhi "flat-out choked".  Grin

Fun Fact: Nuggets made an NBA history. 1st team to recover in a 3-1 deficit, twice in one post season.

The game 1 was a winnable for Boston, it's just the breaks of the game. I think it's better for Hayward to continue resting though, and I doubt that he can contribute that much coming from an injury. On the contrary, it may disrupt's Celtics's chemistry and movement as they need to adjust again.

So much for the Clippers choking though, it gives me a good laugh seeing meme's on Twitter.  Grin

 I feel like Doc really has to have some parts in this. I know that Kawhi and PG13 played horribly, like seriously legendary bad so the biggest blame goes to them without a doubt at all, but I can't believe people do not see a single trouble with Doc Rivers at all. I understand that people may feel like he didn't do anything wrong on the game 7 but the fact that he didn't built a whole strategy out of having Kawhi and PG13 and the team he has was something not really ideal. If he really wants to utilize those players as much as he can, he has to built a strategy and with that strategy he has to try to utilize everything he has, but he just moved more like "you guys are great, go play great and you will win" and nothing more honestly. Managing playing time %100 great but that wasn't enough.

Blaming the coach is not what usually the fans do, don't worry, the management will take care of Doc if they think he is not bringing success to the team, you know, we would just be surprise or not that the management has fired him already. Kawhi ask PG to join with him in L.A. so it's good to expect that Leonard trusted PG's capacity to bring success to the team.

Meanwhile, we can also look at some bad personal relation between Doc and PG, we know their history that PG has cheated on Doc's daughter which is now the wife of Seth Curry, so I think this is also one factor to consider, and maybe you guys will say, "hey! they are professionals"... well, maybe but things like this is hard to forget that's why I'm seeing that the chemistry of Denver is what beats the LA Clippers.

I like that last word, the chemistry of Denver where they are all trust each others and keep finding who's the open one unlike Clippers where most of the time, it's Kawhai,George and Williams who have the ball and attempts to bring the basket.
In terms of Coaching staff you are correct managements will take of that,
if Doc is not effective to bring the blends out from this selected stars he will be replaced.
Let's all wait with the updates from this team.

Looks like there's a curse of LA clippers.

Clippers' collapse in Game 7 another reminder they're still who they've always been

GREAT NEWS!

~snip~

Nice update, but this is his first game from injury if ever he will play, hard to expect that he can deliver right away.

Let's just see first if he can contribute in game 2.

This series should be fun, Celtics needed Hayward as Miami Heat is a better team compared to the teams they beat in the last 2 rounds.

This is why I like this team Nuggets because of their team plays. They usually move around the court and with Jokic blind pass it could make advantage to the team. Not oy that he could not only pass the ball but also could drive and shoot the ball in the perimeter with his height advantage. The only team needs is the 3 point shooting area and that should they somehow develop. Their next match is lakers I will going to bet foe nuggets in the first round and in the next round would be lakers. You know lakers do the magic in this season play off series where they always lose in the first game of the series. I do not know why is it so but that will probably going to happen again.
Nuggets has nothing to lose in this series as nobody expected them to be in the WCF and now people aren't expecting them to win. Yeah, you are right, their team play was really outstanding and this team is blessed with having a big guy who can do everything in the court.
