Wow, imagine losing your challenge on an out of bounds play in Q1. Mazzulla might be the Celtics' undoing.

The Celtics defense is going to be insane if they stay healthy.

The league is so damn deep right now. Some really really good teams at the top but even most **** teams have some interesting dudes.

If the refs are finally going to call all of Big Al's moving screens, he might be toast.

I think just because he was injured and never was going to be the Unicorn he was hyped up to be, people kind of cast KP aside. That length can be tough on D. I thought that was a great move. Just betting on him staying healthy is a gamble.

The Knicks just aren't any good IMO. They might not win 40 games this year since Julius Randle is due to turn back into a pumpkin this season. Also you can't play a bunch of hesitant to shoot wings like DDV, Hart, Barrett. You can get away with like one of those dudes on the court but sheesh.

He may also just be really old.

Talk to me a month from now and maybe my opinion will change. But as of now, this Boston team doesn't scare me nearly as much as they have the past 2 seasons.

One of the main reasons Boston was tough for us was because they had a bunch of guys they could throw at Giannis and slow him and tire him out by the time you got the 4th quarter. Those guys are all gone sans old ass Horford.

Sure, the Celtics perimeter defense will be improved with Holiday, but the Celtics are not the same old tough match up for the Bucks as they once were.

When the teams standing between you and a title are lead by Giannis, Joker & Embiid, not exactly sure what the Celtics were doing this off-season. We'll see.

It's hilarious hearing the commentators talk about Jrue.

It's very clear they didn't watch much (if any) Bucks games last year and just fired up Bbal Reference before the game. No shade on Jrue, I love the guy, but the takes about him since joining the Celts are nauseatingly saccharine.

Had the same thought

"playmaker"

"always makes the right play"

"never takes the wrong shot"

lol sure

Their roster is absurd defensively.

Being down only 6 at halftime with how bad thry played is pretty good

Knicks getting gunshy in the paint is annoying. Porzinger goes flying whenever you throw you body into him, which they are doing but then they act like he’s giannis or wemby.

I want to be all in on OKC this season even though I know they're young.

Yeah, I'll always love Jrue but I think my exact post after the playoffs last year was, "I'm done with Jrue." I wanted him traded and they obviously got a giant fish in return.

All I say is good luck to them when Giannis and Dame give Zinger two fouls in the 1st quarter.

Boston is going to be really good. They’re a better team than they were last year.
