EDIT: I forgot - dude wanted us to throw in the Milwaukee pick too. :lol:

This aged well.

5-1, and 9-1 counting preseason, which I normally wouldn’t mention but Boston’s issues in the preseason last year were the same it had all year.

This team Is light years better than last season’s brutal chemistry.

Celtics fun to watch again, got rid of all their vets. Thank god Kyrie left and kemba somehow was available.

How lucky did Boston get there?

Hayward with 39 points. Career high. He's back baby.
One day Marcus Smart will be defensive player of the year, mark my words.

What's even more hilarious is that it was started in the first place. But that seemed to be OK with you right? Did you comment back then?

See everyone again in a few days? Some of you after a loss most of you after another (or two) wins? Maybe we make this topic a space we all share our feelings! A safe space if you like :lol:

I will go first :

The fact this made during preseason might be one of RealGm's finest moments.

HOF worthy thread

After ONE preseason game... that the Celtics WON lol.

It's actually not surprising that one guy had a bad take. But 36 people gave it an And 1 including at least one site moderator. Pretty head scratching imo.

Celtics have done well to not play down to the level of their opponents so far. Aside from Philly, a lot of fluffy opponents, but seems like they haven't let down their guard so far. Would like to see another test like Philly now they have a little momentum going.

"Fluffy" is not one of the adjectives that comes quickly to mind when I think of Giannis.

They probably have the worse interia defense in the league, and a really poor defensive point guard. The only thing that can save them is their coach, but even Stevens can not preform miracles with this mess.

Another great take. Good job. Good game.

It has been extremely under reported exactly what they lost outside of Kyrie....

-They had 3 bigs who could defend, and in horfords case at an extremely high level (Horford, morris, baynes).
-Those 3 bigs also stretched the floor. Morris and Horford are 2 guys you can space the floor with without going small.
-They lost NBA calibur depth. Maybe a young guy steps up, but right now they really only go 7 deep with nba players. and when we talk about depth, its not just the bench playing well, its having nba level players to step in and start when injuries happen

Another all star take. Can't hide.
