The Celtics are without 3 Starters and two of them are All Stars and yet they still have a Double Digit lead.

This makes me think the Celtics would be Light Years Ahead of the 76ers at full strength.

When Horford busts out the flex, you know he's feeling it. You don't want any of Horford when he's feeling it. Playoff Horford is not a thing.

Someone is gonna overpay to try and convince Boston to let him walk this summer, whichever team is holding his contract after it's finalized is gonna regret it almost instantly.

He is the defensive system. The guy is otherworldly good on defense. You’re right that he can’t shoot a lick though


The system makes his defense look way better than it really is. You'll see if he ends up outside of Boston and Stevens world class defensive system.


No, they're a much worse defensive team without him.

Who got Tim Duncan into Hoford's body? Drawing fouls on fools like it's 05' out here.

You’re wrong. Dude is the quarterback of the entire defense for Boston. He’s game changing defensively.

This lineup Boston has out there would get utterly destroyed under like any other coach besides maybe Pop, but with Stevens it just doesn't matter.

True Simmons was more shoulder. LeBron gets away with the forearm.

I can't wait to see him on another team if the Celtics don't match some overpriced contract this summer
