Okay? How does Cousins signing out west affect that?

It doesn’t. He has a hard on for trading anyone to appease his me me me now now now mentality. Any new move increases his desperation.

Guess that AD-Boogie connection was overrated. ****. I officially HATE the warriors over any team this year. SMH!

I have zero concerns with anyone in the east we’ll sweep them all or at worse lose a game. Our direct competition is the warriors with a huge side eye on the lakers and what they’re doing over there. Seeing cousins taking a big discount because he’s an emotional bitch because the pelicans would rather have randle than him is a big problems for us because he’s just another player we are going to have to play close attention to after them having McGee or looney, where we could have cheated off them and guard their star players.

Pop loves Brad. The Cs are in a different conference. You will lose Kawhi for nothing so the Sac pick alone is much better than nothing. Start with that and add whats neccesary and you can ensure the Cs can go toe to toe with the Warriors. Be good for the league even.

Keep being homers ,while the rest of us live in reality. Celtics weren't beating the warriors before, and now that becomes impossible. What fun is to make the finals and lose. Unreal.

Injuries can always change a teams fortune, that's pretty much the only way right now though unless we get gifted Kawhi.

Of course Kyrie is thinking of leaving. Dude is wierd and I can you easily see him in NY next season. Which is why, unless Danny has a solid feel, I’d never trade massive pieces for Kawhi.

This Warriors team is several years away from not dominating. We can either wait it out or take some risks to keep up. Kawhi is a good indicator of Danny's approach.

Demarcus Cousins at 60-70 percent is still a threat. This is not an overreaction by anyone. Warriors 99 percent improved their chances of repeating as champions. No team is beating them if they are healthy. The NBA is a joke now.

I doubt he’s even 60-70% of his previous self. Achilles injuries for a 7 footer is about the worst possible injury. Worse than an ACL for a point guard.

Rose
IT
Rondo

Guys never reached their previous heights after major injury

Hopefully they get so much flak that this is the end of the Warriors super team.

A ruptured Achilles for a 7 footer is an extremely serious injury. Potentially career altering

A 7 footer than generally plays overweight and out of shape at that.

Hey you’ll be called a troll here because you have your green googles off and use your brain correctly. Some people are fine with Celtics being the boss of the East....we will win the East im sure then get wrecked in the Finals until GSW breaks it up. So enjoy the Eastern Conference Lol

The Cs beat GS without Hayward and a rookie season by Tatum. Eveytime they play GS its close. The Cs, if fully healthy with Brad can compete with GS.
