Do you think they'll say the same thing when we raise KG's number to the rafters?

Re: Around the NBA 2018 (Non-Celtics Talk)
every teams banged-up with injuries it's gonna be a race to who can get healthy. and lets not forget playing in a series is a lot different than 1 night game. after the west beats each-other up the c's have a legit chance

Re: Around the NBA 2018 (Non-Celtics Talk)
I could easily see the Sixers go on a 16 game winning streak by the end of the season. Their schedule is pretty damn easy... If they were consistent, they'd do it. They could end with a 50+ win record and steal the 3rd seed.
Grizzlies at Home
Magic away
Minny at home
Nuggets at home
Knicks at home
Hawks away
Bobcats away
Nets at home
Pistons away
Cavs at home
Mavs at home
Hawks away
Bucks at home.

Kyrie needs to get pain injections and play in the playoffs. Raptors getting torn up by JOSE CALDERON for Gods sake.
The east is wide open IMO. I don't buy for a second we don't have a chance if we get Smart back later too.
And Lebron.......he plays too many minutes and grabbed his lower back earlier. How long can he keep this up?

Re: Around the NBA 2018 (Non-Celtics Talk)
I’m not concerned by the Raps. Only Cleveland slightly because of Lebron. The only thing stopping the Celtics coming out of the east is health. We are the best road team imo but injuries piled up. We can win in anyone’s gym and we play better on the road anyways. Celtics were leading the east from the start of the season all the way till the near all star break which is the same time where we got hammered with injuries. These injuries are killing us.

Defensively neither team is close to us either. I thought Toronto would be better on D then this.

Everyone drinking that sweet green koolaid I see lol. East might be wide open if we were healthy *including hayward* but I don't believe for a moment we beat lebron 4 times out of 7 with this team.

Re: Around the NBA 2018 (Non-Celtics Talk)
I believe it, we are due. Lebron has it coming.....
If Kyrie does the playoffs I might pick the Celtics to win the east.
Call me a homer whatever I don't care.

Raptors choking per usual on the road. This team doesn’t have the IT mentality Pierce always talks about when it comes to guys like Derozan and Lowry. They can win all these cute games at home during the regular season but it’s different come playoff time. Good team but in a series vs Lebron or a healthy Celtics team minus Hayward? Nah I wouldn’t take them because I don’t have enough trust in them.

Re: Around the NBA 2018 (Non-Celtics Talk)
Thats it, I'm done.

If the Raptors are too scared of Lebron to even be able to hold onto a large lead against him.....then I guess they want to throw the hot potato our way.
I accept the challenge. I am sure sometime too Brad will get a handle better on a Lebron led team and figure something out.
At least I don't have to score watch anymore for the east as much now, so trouble is now saved.
Hopefully Irving will be OK since thats pretty much the key here. Since I bet he wants the challenge as well, it's what he came here for.

They want Lebron to be #3, so they can pro long losing to him. But they choked tonight, HARD. They have a total fear mentality of him as a HEALTHY #1 seed.
Hilariously, I am starting to even wonder how the Raptors would even do in the first round. Their guys get "deer in the headlights" looks in big games. Started tonight, happened vs. OKC a few days ago.
Just sick of this crap.

The strength of the Raptors is allegedly their "deep" rotation. But once the minutes of the star players increase, their deep rotation would not matter.
Season performers at best and as always.

If the Raptors get the Bucks in the first round, it won't be easy......they struggle with them too.

The GB is a pretty good time right now. That insecure fanbase is catching feelings. They spent the last 2-3 weeks spamming that board with threads, whining about the lack of attention the Raps were getting. Well..........they're getting that attention right now.

They deserve it. I never seen such a wussy first seed.
They should send their good health fortunes to the Celtics.
