[Post Game Thread] The Boston Celtics defeat the Washington Wizards 123-111 to take a 1-0 series lead.

/u/Discord_Show Going up 2-0 as tradition at home.

/u/mstake21 I kept waiting for the inevitable OKC run but it never came... there's something off about them this year. They just don't scare me like in prior years.

/u/siphillis I don't see how anyone could argue Durant is better than Kawhi after watching these playoffs unfold so far.

/u/eadochas Donovan sounds like a kid in his first semester of college holding on to his high school mentality.

/u/lyricyst2000 I thought this would be a competitive series that the spurs won in 6 or 7. Nah. OKC has no answers for playoff pops. Spurs in 4.

/u/qeheen Kawhi > Durant

/u/CavaliersAnExtraordinaire for some reason, a blowout of this magnitude makes me think the thunder will take game 2 /u/SpursDiscord_Show Eh /u/SpursCYAAfghanistan What adjustments ?

/u/tyranitator Spurs in 4.

/u/morebeansandrice Look, if we get beat by OKC I'll come and eat crow but I didn't need this game to tell you how much better than them the Spurs are. This is the best Spurs team of all time. Will they sweep? I don't know, but damn good chance. Only team I'm scared of is GS. Almost any other year the Spurs would be wild favorites to win the title, but GS is supreme right now. That being said, its a huge gulf from GS and SA to anyone else in this league right now.

/u/wlburgess (This is a fucking Thunder fan.) Three more games to watch KD in a thunder uniform. Was a great run KD!

/u/Krispypenguin Spurs in 5, honestly. Maybe 4. Still, SA was just hitting everything.

/u/pwlocke13 This honestly just reaffirmed for me that they won't be able to hang with us for a 7 game series. No one on their team can guard LMA and the rest of our team won't play that poorly again. Duncan alone missed some layups he normally makes, Mills was cold, Danny missed some open threes, Kawhi was off a bit. We were still getting the shots we wanted, defense just didn't play as well tonight. If one of WB or Durant is off they lose, if both of them are on but our team is clicking they lose. If we keep forcing them to rely on Ibaka knocking down threes then we will take this series.

/u/hollaatyourgirl I stand by my prediction: Spurs in 4

/u/nataliereddits YOU CAN SUCK MY CLIT.

I liked the Spurs before this, but the fans have been insufferable and cocky.

FUCK THE SPURS AND THEIR FANS.
