I know that you won't put any money down on the Celtics winning 56 or more games so why are you even upset?

I'll bet the rights to change your signature to whatever I see fit if the Celtics win less than 56 games, if they win 56 games or more you can change my signature to whatever your liking. Confirming this bet will be binding and no retractions will be available, let me know


I said the line is right which means it’s a no play for me (I put my 3 favs earlier in the thread). I actually do bet and make money betting so I look for edges. I think Vegas nailed the bet and Celtics will be in that range so it would be dumb throwing money on that.

I’ll take your bet if we agree bets off if Tatum or Brown miss 20+ games.


no restrictions or contingincies, Celtics win less than 56 games. take it or leave it.


Too late to take this bet on?

Too late to quote yourself calling it a dumb bet and then backpedaling once the season starts hot? What a joker

Only joker is you with your takes in this thread. I said we’d get there as long as Tatum and Brown didn’t miss 20+ games. Just look at what you said in this thread. Same tripe you’ve been going with since the Celtics/Bucks series.

That's a lot of words to say "I was really wrong".

Only setting yourself up to look really dumb if the Celtics hit an injury patch

I’d throw away a dollar on the Lakers in hopes of it becoming 40

The Celtics won 51 games, care to explain how they've improved 5 wins?

1) Adding Brogdon who has missed on average nearly 33 games per season the last 3 years (100 games missed the last 3 years if you want to get technical) doesn't strike as a rock solid improvement. He has a degenerative foot injury that won't ever get better

2) Udoka was a 1st year coach, a lot of 1st year coaches historically do better than 2nd year coaches because the league doesn't have film to study their tendencies yet.

3) Al Horford isn't getting younger, last year he had the benefit of being completely fresh thanks to OKC benching him in the 2020-2021 season.

4) Timelord played through his recovery of a torn meniscus because the Celtics went deep in the playoffs.

5) Last season the Celtics pushed all of their starters to play much higher average minutes per game because their backs were up against the wall before the All-Star break. Once the Finals came around, it was clear that the toll taken on their stars from the regular season and deep playoff run was a factor. If the Celtics are wise and in the position where they don't need to play tight rotations and playoff intensity starting in January, they'll load manage their stars more (particularly Tatum, Brown, Horford, and Timelord)


2nd year coaches do worse than rookie coaches? Got any evidence to back that up? I’d bet the opposite.

I think the Vegas line is right for the Celtics. I also think the Bucks is too low as I mentioned earlier but your reasoning is ridiculous.


I know that you won't put any money down on the Celtics winning 56 or more games so why are you even upset?

I'll bet the rights to change your signature to whatever I see fit if the Celtics win less than 56 games, if they win 56 games or more you can change my signature to whatever your liking. Confirming this bet will be binding and no retractions will be available, let me know


How’d everyone’s picks go?

Anyone look as foolish as this guy?
