The Easiest Path to the NBA FINALS… 🧐💭🍀
the easiest path to the NBA finals of all time in the 2013 NBA playoffs the Miami Heat defeated the Chicago Bulls without Derek Rose and then faced off against the Indiana Pacers without one of their franchise cornerstones Danny Granger in 2015 the Cleveland Cavaliers played an Atlanta Hawks team that was completely batted with injuries and Matthew delova took out Kyle corver who is having one of his best seasons to date in 2016 the Caps came back from a 3 to1 Series lead but the Golden State Warriors were missing and Drew bogot for half of the series and Draymond Green was suspended for game five Steph Curry was also playing on a really bad MCL spring in 2018 the Cavaliers got to play the Celtics without Kyrie Irving and without Gordon Hayward and still the Cavaliers were barely able to win in seven games now that being said do you still believe that the Celtics facing Miami without Jimmy Butler facing the Cavaliers without Donovan Mitchell in two of the games and then facing the Pacers without Tyrese halber in two of the games still makes this

Let’s debate what some call “the easiest paths” to the NBA Finals in recent history, From the Miami Heat in 2013 to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2018, to present day with the Boston Celtics. Did they have it easy this year?

The #1 seed will ALWAYS have the easiest path….
Not their fault they balled out all season. Also not their fault they played 2 teams that literally run their players in to the ground and 1 team that just isn't very good on top of their star player getting hurt.
We would have swept everyone if we had KP that's not our fault
No Jimmy and rozier no Mitchell and Allen no Halliburton and coaching
Fuck no as a Celtic fan the playoffs are the playoff sorry for u non competitive fans that never played a sport I'm minor league outfielder and trust me those NBA players deserve it. Let me see y'all go play 82 games +16-20 in playoffs and say it was a easy route to the Finals.. no one ever said Tom Brady had a easy route to SUPER BOWL
Who cares about how easy or hard the path is can you win it all or not. And Boston have two injuries themselves throughout the playoffs so stop crying
Is he a lebron hater hahahahaha come another feeder of lebronnn
Also forgetting Rozier the guy we traded Kyle Lowry for and Jaime Jaquez Jr
That’s not even the Celtics fault 😅 if everyone was injured why it’s that on them ? Damn haters
Yes! definitely!
Injured list(that i know of):
Half of the heat players
Embiid
Hali
Dmitch
Brunson
Boston knows what it takes to win, it may be a little easy but then again Boston was dominating before the stars were injured anyways, Boston had back to back to back 2-1 series leads and still won the series, yea it may be little easy for them but they know what it takes to win they made it back in 2022 as well.
My issue is mfs act like the Celtics are a play in team reaching the finals. Why is there no discourse about the heat last year where it was no/hobbled giannis and Middleton was hobbled too, then the Knicks who dealt w an injured randal, and Tatum rolls his ankle game 7 where he was walking gingerly the entire game, just to get railed in the finals? The Celtics played these teams fully healthy regular season, they had 64 wins, not 42 wins. Whether some teams were fully healthy or not they were gonna whoop anyways, if ur gonna convince me the heat cavs or pacers would beat them you’d be insane to think so. This isn’t last years team w smart and an injured brogdon and time lord, this is kp and jrue holiday now. Mfs need to get that through their head
😷😷sounds like excuses you play who you play
Yeah the celtics run was just from sheer luck but you have the mavs who eliminated each and every team each roumd with okc , clippers, and timberwolves still having their star players but you have the cletics once again havinf a advantage jist because they had most teams without their star players meaning that if the mavs can beat a team with or without thwir star players it would be kinds obvious that the mavs would have a chance to beat the celtics in the finals i would say 🔷️ Mavs🔷️4-2☘️Celtics ☘️
Smh people comparing bogut and Kyle korver to Jimmy Butler and Mitchell lol
Showing Tatum with the trophy just feels like bad juju. Like peering into an alternate realm
Yes it was most definitely way too easy stop glazing Mike.
Yes
Yes the ctics has the easiest path cause in Lebron's time the game was still physical and in 2018 Lebron carried his team even though he was injured
Probably the easiest finals run in modern nba history
Always said that about Bron Bron . 😂.
Cry more
No Terry no Butler no Jaime-heat
No Jarrett Allen no Mitchell for 2 games-cavs
No Mathurin no jalen smith in a close out game no Halliburton for 2 games
Celtics were only missing Kristaps who they’re getting back in the finals.
Yes this is the easiest path I’ve seen, Celtics didn’t even face any good teams
Explain to me how this is Boston fault
Boston really fought against a complete team that's why I said that if you put Boston in the west what seed would they be? LeBalco is given I already know his rings a cheap asf. All are cake walk.
BS
You are just a hater of lebron
It's all because Jrue's doing way too much voodo💀💀💀
Yes
did their work in the reg season everyone needs to stop crying
Celtics didn't have porzingus either so….
This is just unjustified hate for the Celtics. I truly don't understand it, we've been the most consistent playoff team for almost 20 years with little drama in the mix.
Been sayin this Celtics had easy games
Its never easy. Whenever you have a great team. They just make it look easy.
This is one of the dumbest comparisons made. I like the Celtics but there is no real competition on their run.
Tatum and Brown 🤡😂🤡😂
That 2013 pacers was the birth of pg13 and. 7 games
Why people thinks that only losing the team 1st option matter? I think even if you're 1st option is fully healthy and your supporting cast is injured you can't win a chip. Why starting a nonsense argument he's a 1st option and he's only a 3rd or 4th option blah blah.. But the mavs fan crying when lively was out in game 4 that cause them to lose the game.
Y’all acting like they weren’t goona beat them anyway
Stick to football bud
It was easy because the Celtics are that good this year. Every year someone gets injured. That's a tired and played out excuse. If you can't stay healthy you're not gonna win.
