Not to mention the Celtics were without Gordon for 3 games them self.

Celtics fans love their donuts. It took an incredible play at the end for Raptors to not be down 3-0. Boston in 6.

Using "exposed" in sports discussion is dumb and never ends well.

Raps fan here with a objective outlook.

Celtics seem much better then our team and have been outplaying us for the majority of the playoffs.

They are exploiting our help defense, surgically ripping apart anything we throw at them defensively, and have us playing half court offense.

And truthfully Celtics should be better. Like legit they should.

We are the champs but have lost our superstar, who propelled this team. In half court situations Kawhi would be our battering ram, breaking down teams. Defensively Kawhi was a huge body that'd lock down Tatum/Brown.

Our main hope is the development of a second round pick to become our go to all-star, an undrafted player to be our scoring guard, some players drafted in the late 20s, and sprinkle in aging vets beyond their days.

Meanwhile Boston got the #3 overall , and dare I say best player in a draft in 2017 in Jason Tatum.

The third overall pick in 2016, in Brown. A perennial all-star in Walker. And have great chemistry + a winning coach.

Touché to the Celts. Hopefully we can make this a great series.

This is like saying Clippers would still beat Dallas if they did not have Kawhi.

Simmons isn't even in the same stratosphere. Sixers lose in 5 with healthy Simmons.

They **** suck that bad.

You lose Morris, Horford, and Baynes, replace that with Kanter and what did they expect?Instead of talking about the Celts being a top 4 Eastern team and whether Kemba could replace Kyrie , they needed to be asking if they can even make the playoffs as a "donut" team.

Triple M · Post #971 » by **Triple M** » Sun Sep 13, 2020 1:59 am

Can Theis gets some love in replacing some of what Baynes and Horford were doing??? He makes life so much easier for Brown, Kemba, and Tatum.

I hope OP makes another prediction against the Celtics. Seems like it's working real well

OP bumped his own thread and looked even more clownish. Raptors in 6 FOH :lol:

Meanwhile his team is poised to pay FVV 100+ million to lead their team to the 9th seed

At this point I hope we win it all, not because that would be awesome in its own right, but just so this thread can keep on giving.

"Bottom 5 defense in the league"

"Lucky to make it outta the first round"

"Good luck getting a top 5 seed in the East"

TheBallsDeeper wrote:Celtics are going to be in the race for the number one pick unless they make some big moves. Can't make the playoffs with no defense. 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.

This is even better coming from a Sixers fan

My favorite series i wanted to watch with high anticipation...after LA v LA, was the celtics raps. And that series did not disappoint. High drama, with everything in it. Celtics were exposed as a team ready to battle. Miami will be a good series

Crazy they have the #4 defense in the league and have 3rd best defense in the paint with all those matadors!

and yet they'll still get knocked out in the 2nd round again

Oh no not a Bucks fan...

They are necessarily worse. Horford was the most important piece to their success. Been that way for a few years. I like the Kemba fit a little better than the Kyrie fit, but the difference there is negligible.

Their best hope is for the young guys to take a significant next step.

A whole lot of posts like this in this thread.

Horford is just another one of what is it 10+ players now that should donate half their check to Stevens that his coaching tricked some other team into dramatically overpaying them for.

Yeah Toronto is really tough. Good point. Who do you have in the 2nd round?

Toronto in 6.

Doubling down on your original awful post. I respect it.
