Confidence is sky high lol.

Really hoping to see some obvious roster tinkering while we’re out here learning what we are this year
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Don't expect too many wins until Luka is back. Kidding, not kidding.

I don't mind losing (as much) If Boston at least attempted to play the right way and Boston (Joe) was developing our most talented young players in Hugo and Minott. But after 2 games, sitting one or the other is automatic fail in my eyes. Play them both please!!
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

First team in NBA History to win the title after starting the season 0-3.

There are 4 guys on this team I want to see this year, develop. Queta, Hugo, Minott and Garza. After that, it's Walsh and Baylor. I also feel that our best young offensive wing in RJ Luis (I know he isn't official on the team currently). I may be the only one that feels that way, but RJ has a lot of potential. I will be keeping on eye on him in Maine.

Walsh and Baylor might be gone soon.

I think Chisholm will want to see the Celtics in the playoffs this season.
So Brad is probably going to upgrade the roster just before Tatum's return.

Queta and Hugo will most likely be the ones given the playing time.

I'm also hoping Mynot gets to play.

Garza right now is going to get minutes by default.

But I think this is going to be a different team by All-Star break.

I think it's time to stop fooling around and win some games.

If Joe continues with prioritizing Sam and PP, it may take a while for Cs to win some games.

If they lose this game might as well nuke the whole forum. Must win, for sanity.

If that's the case, why did they sell off so heavily in the offseason?

If you think about it, Jrue's 100m contract was really a cap killer.

KP was damaged goods.

Al is really old and wanted more money.

Luke was the only player that would be useful to the Cs right now.
But the price was too high and Luke is not really a starting Center.

You could see against NY, in the playoffs, the Cs looked old.
The Cs really need an injection of youth and athleticism.

The Cs need to become like OKC.
Relying heavily on 3pt shooting is not good enough anymore.

For the Cs to win another chip with this current core, the Cs need to be faster and bigger.

The last time the Knicks began a season 2-0 and the Celtics began a season 0-2 was 2021-22, which ended with Boston in the Finals and NY in the lottery

Why is Tatum still OUT? Does he even care about winning anymore?
