Doubt you would've posted that if they completely blew the lead and lost. But you do you, Mr GreenGoggles.

This is not about the Green Goggles.

I've been watching the Celtics and the NBA since the 1980s.

The pattern is very clear.

That's why I was so positive about the Celtics last season.

I've witnessed the Lakers and Celtics dynasties in the 80s, the 90s Bulls, the 2000s Lakers, and so on.

There is a pattern here and that was proven right when the Celtics won the 2024 championship.

The Jays are not like Steve Nash or James Harden.

This season the Celtics are better compared to last season, especially with the rise of PP.

But this season the Celtics are not going a 100% every game.

That's why you said the way the Cs are playing, you don't believe they can beat the Cavs.

I've said it before the season started, if you like the 90s Bulls, you're going to love this group of Celtics.

And before the game started, the Cs were the favorites to win.

I think Scal said the Cs were -4.5.

So the oddsmakers had the Cs winning this game.

I doubt those oddsmakers were also wearing green goggles.

Agreed

Sometimes the great teams play a little bored in the regular season. No team beats this Celtics team in a 7 game series and they know it.

Really felt sorry for Delonte. He was a good player once.

No Wemby, Vassell or Sochan and the Spurs still beat OKC. I wonder how many NBA caliber players you would need around Tatum to beat that team. My guess is a lot less than SGA had around him.

Cavs and Pels play tonight.

Cavs will be without Garland, LeVert, Merrill, Strus, Wade and Okoro

Pels will be without Zion, Ingram, McCollum, Murray, Herb Jones, Murphy, Hawkins, Alvarado and Nowell. Their highest paid maybe-available player is Yves Missi, who is questionable.

Get your tickets now lol

I'm just excited for the Cavs fans to have another chance to play the "Our hurt guys are better than your hurt guys"!

That was me checking out the NO box score from last night - that team went from most oddly deep menagerie of NBA players to total poopoo platter of guys super fast.

Watching POR at OKC and Ajay Mitchell looks like a good two way guard, right here. OKC has got nails on defense

Jus don't blame Yabu for the Sixers loss. Shooting 5 for 6 from 3 coming off the bench is no easy feat.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

The east is bad.

Joe doing the right thing by letting Queta learn on the job.

This is the perfect time for development and experimentation.
