Cleveland Cavaliers

The Golden State Warriors are officially back on top of the basketball world, thanks to their 129-120 Game 5 win to clinch an NBA title over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Monday night.

At least they stole one game.

Just two nights after pulling off a shocking, come-from-behind, upset win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Boston Celtics saw a double-digit, first half lead of their own fall apart in the third quarter of their 112-99, Game 4 loss, Tuesday night.

Like Kevin Garnett hollered, following his only NBA championship in 2008, anything is possible.

With star guard Isaiah Thomas officially ruled out for the remainder of the postseason Saturday, the Boston Celtics have pegged Marcus Smart to take Thomas' spot in the starting lineup for Game 3 of the team's Eastern Conference Finals match up with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

As if things couldn't possibly be going any worse for the Boston Celtics.

The headline says it all.

In an attempt to create some more offense, the Boston Celtics are going back to a strategy they have employed in parts of their first two playoffs series so far this postseason; starting Gerald Green in place of Amir Johnson.

One day after one of the franchise's top moments in recent memory, being awarded the top overall spot in the 2017 NBA Draft Lottery, the Boston Celtics got their fairy tale postseason rudely interrupted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in a 117-104 shellacking at the TD Garden, Wednesday night.

The Boston Celtics have advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, after beating the Washington Wizards, 115-105, at the TD Garden Monday night.
