Let me escort you off the ledge, GA.

Walker isn't cracking their playoff rotation, dude is a one dimensional player. He'll get buckets in garbage time.

Why is everyone thinking the Celtics are these mammoths, the last time we played them at Boston they played at full strength and we blew them out without Randle and Mitch.. we got better, they stayed the same, prob even complacent after winning a title, and suddenly we are not even in the same tier?? I love our chances against them in playoffs at full strength after the OG trade, and now after Mikal trade??? I'm licking my chops

Olympics DNP, afterthought like Hali, JT is the player I predict whose career to suddenly fall off a cliff next ala Ben Simmons and Deron

Jayson Tatum is not falling off any cliff. He’s basically Deron Williams in Ben Simmons‘s body. If we want to win anything, it will be against these guys, and they’re very, very good.

They’re much better overall. They have Holiday and White to counter our Brunson, we have bridges and OG to counter their Brown and Tatum.

If we win against Boston, it’s only because of the chemistry and Villanova winning attitude. It’s mind-boggling that people are still complaining about the amount of picks traded for Bridges. This was the only way to go.

I say: Add Towns to give Boston real problems. He stretches them out and abuses them down low. Randle does neither.

What? Randle has put the wood to the Celtics several times in the past few seasons.

Can we sign Fournier to only play against the Celtics?

In the playoffs? Nobody cares about winning a single game.

There's always more than one way to skin a cat. Randle with JB has averaged 25/8/4 against Boston. They have no answers for him. Conversely, KAT has fouled out in their last 2 games against Boston, somehow turned the ball over 8 times (which is mind boggling to me considering he doesn't put the ball on the floor like Randle).

I'm going to go out on the limb and say Boston is adept in guarding perimeter big men.

My answer to that is

Ricky Davis
Monta Ellis
Jerry Stackhouse
DaJuan Wagner
Antoine Walker
DeAndre Ayton

Wait wut...the Pacers just signed 32 year old back up TJ McConnell to a 4 year $45 mil contract? Um...ok

$11M per year under today’s cap is nothing. He only plays about 22 mpg. Plus, the Pacers will probably keep him on as an assistant coach when he retires.

There are a lot of things in the world today to be upset about. This isn’t one of them.

If there are a lot of things to be upset in the world and this isn't one of them why are you upset that someone mentions it?

I’m not upset. But you seem to be mad because I debated your comment. Pretty thin-skinned.

You know it's possible to reply to a comment without reading something into it that might not be there...at least for me it's possible.

Would you rather have Divo on 4/$45ml or TJ on it?

I'm with you ...we dismantled them and now we have Mikal Randle and a deeper bench...
