Pistons and Hawks on your schedule. Not quite world beaters you guys have played so far so...

Hawks are decent. Celtics went down easy though.

I honestly thought the loss of horford would hurt more. Kyrie to kemba I always thought was a lateral to positive move.

Its still hurting us out there but not having the Kyrie dysfunction seems to be more of a plus than we thought!

on the bright side Celtics is the luckiest team in NBA. they always win 1 possession games or get lucky with seedings in play offs. same goes to playing injured teams. must be nice to play curry-less team both games this season when all the other top eastern teams like raptors 76ers bucks and even nets all gotta play healthy GSW in march right after curry's and klay's return around the all-star break.

You really want to talk about playing injured teams? Are you sure you want to go that path? :lol:

raptors played EVERY eastern conference opponent in play offs with not even 1 role player being injured not just this season but previous seasons too. By the way, I am not sure if you watched NBA finals but GSW did have a fully healthy team for at least 1 game against the raptors and kevin durant was the reason why raptors dropped game 5.

You guys played the Knicks tonight and barely won... How's that impressive? The Knicks are a poorly constructed team who collectively shoot 50% from free throws almost every game. Every team has injuries and it's not like your team was without your star players.

Lol I said its impressive they keep winning despite injuries wasnt calling the knicks out specifically. Regardless of who they play they've been without 2 starters and Rob Williams for multiple games each

But half the teams you beat on this win streak are the Knicks... so is it still impressive? The Knicks have Julius Randle as their star out there. The Celtics are talked about as a top team in the East, but I just don't see it.

And the other half? The Bucks and Raps.

Are the Celtics really talked about as a top team in the East? Not sure where you are coming from with that narrative. The preseason consensus was pretty much that they were in a second tier well below the Sixers and Bucks.

We are currently in a thread called celtics exposed? That's my main point. They are far from getting exposed. The bucks win is impressive by itself. If you dont think so then I guess we will agree to disagree

scottyno · Post #697 » by **scottyno** » Sat Nov 2, 2019 6:43 am

Defense top 10 in the league so far, offense starting to come around, Hayward looks much closer to Utah form, Brown and Tatum look good, Kemba looks great, they've been pretty much the opposite of exposed thus far.

Exposed to the tune of 8-1 since this thread was created with the 1 on the road to one of the best teams in the league.

The Celtics have been super lucky to have had the Sixers on the schedule a lot in recent years. Playoffs and regular season.
