Not this season.


What was their 4th quarter lead against the Hornets? Was it 9? Yeah, not this year.

It's one game.

Out of 82 games, something like that Hornets game is bound to happen.

I still don’t really understand why thanasis is allowed to run up the side lines and complain about a call but KP gets a tech? Soft ****.

Don't blame him because if he was anywhere close you know for sure the refs would have called a foul.

Ugly 4th, but Cs still ended up winning.

Winning ugly is something the Cs had a hard time doing last season.

Not sure how anybody can criticize White's defense. It was elite all game long and he likely bothered Dame's dunk attempt lol

Lol

The Nuggets just lost to the Magic. Hilarious how you and others criticise the **** out of Boston performances but ignore other contenders have bad games too.

The Heat will run into the same issue as last year.

The Wolves, dear lord

The Bucks are good and we are good, sorry you can’t accept that.


We have the talent, but every year in the playoffs we blow too many games against inferior teams, or just fail to execute competent offense down the stretch. They aren't doing a good job of proving that's behind them, so I have no faith in them.

The Bucks defense is too pathetic to win a championship, which is obvious to anyone with any sense.

There are fans who seemingly cannot accept that elite players will eventually start making shots.

You can’t blow out elite teams with ease and elite players will always find a way to bounce back.

It’s what they do

Exactly. Why not improve that? Specially since FT are such an important part of the game. He should be making over 86%.

No need to lump him together with Jaylen Brown who's barely a 70% shooter.

Awshuckly Brown last few years have been 76%, so far this year 72% and Tatum shooting at 79% . Maybe they both need to be better.

Yet you bring up the Heat and Wolves who have their own flaws.

Thinking either of them are title contenders and the Celtics aren’t is just that hilarious.

Like seriously dude. Are you posting that BS for attention?

Its really the Nuggets to lose, anyone else is a dark horse, but any of those 3 teams beat us in a 7 game series and maybe Nurse's Sixers as well. The team lacks character.

The Celtics are clearly the best in the East but the test will come playoff time when things get tight. That's when we'll see what this has learned.
