Celtics will win the title this year. Lets talk about next year now. 

Post#1 » by OldCeltics » Mon Dec 18, 2023 3:51 am

Celtics have already won. Its just a matter of going through the motions. They are not losing a 7 game series. Its just not going to happen.

Yes, there are some competitors. But Sixers, Wolves, Bucks, Celtics, Nuggets are the only teams that have a chance. The top teams are just too stacked this year. Outside of those top 5 no other team has a chance of winning.

An though you could presume it comes to injuries, I postulate that the season is already over. An we may proceed to 2024-25.

Time to talk about next year.

They didn't even get to the semi finals of the in season tournament. Get out of here.

They are the favorites to come out of the East. That being said they have some issues that may arise in the postseason.

Porzingis' health, Jrue and Horford have high mileage, and their coach is inferior.

Also 76ers and Miami are positioned to add a major piece at the deadline.

No one cares about the in season. In-season tourney is a scam to get ratings. An a bad scam at that.

They lost to the 8 seed heat last year. Playoff Jimmy made them his bitch. The team is too mentally weak to just hand them a ring.

Hahaha i love the cojones.

And I actually agree with this thread. Health is the only thing that can stop the Celtics.


If the Nuggets (or a healthy Clippers) meet the Celtics in the NBA Finals, the Cs are still too deep and 2 way talented. You love to see it... this is a team built the right way,

Lot of things to like about the Celtics but OP is kinda of going about it in obnoxious way.

They are undefeated at home

They've mostly played over .500 teams although i dont think .500 isnt that significant when 22 teams are at least .500, i would look at teams .600 and better which i believe they have the best record too

They are a top offensive and defensive team

But when championship and finalist teams haven't got back to the finals in 5 years i dont see why anyone would guarantee anything. The league has the most parity since the 70s

They're my pick to win the title this season, but wouldn't be surprised if the Bucks or even Sixers take them out in the ECF.

This is why this tournament sucks.

We're out here using this as a qualifier now?

Might as well eliminate the playoffs entirely. It's been decided.

I'll be more surprised if the Sixers make the Conference Finals. Embiid's goal is to win the MVP and he will accomplish that at the cost of his health come playoffs time.

I just kinda assumed that post was a joke/tongue-in-cheek. Maybe not tho.
