Because they have the only alpha in the east, great ownership, great management, great coach and the best player development system in the NBA. They're always going to be a problem

Every team is a problem. Only one can win. I’m just saying some act like the Heat are some juggernaut.

Teams like OKC, HOU, DET, ORL stacking talent for years. One of them gotta make a move top playoffs.

In the East? They are.

Celtics with Porzingis closes the gap but 7 game series? Its a huge toss up

As much as the Celtics.

Celtics = soft, mentally weak, doesn't know how to win, all they do is chuck and hope to get lucky

Miami = HEAT CULTURE, winners, DAWG, alphas, MID RANGE

Does not compute.

Would that be Sensible?


Very good shooter. Celtics love shooters. It makes sense in that way. Injury concerns though. I personally wouldn't like the pick.

I wouldn't hate it.

Pretty good passer, really food defender. 6'7" with a 7'2" wingspan. Just turned 19. Shows intriguing flashes of shooting, handling the ball in the open floor and taking it to the rim.

Would not be a bad pick at 25.

The combination of the wingspan, his long strides + quickness + his motor is a good recipe for a guy who will do well on the bigger NBA floor with more spacing and faster players.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)
