Well, let's see how the C's do on this upcoming West coast road trip. Phoenix is no longer a tomato can, and they also have the Clippers and Nuggets. If the C's still have the best record in the NBA after returning home on Nov 24, I'd say they will have been exposed as a serious contender.

Its one of those things where if you find a different way to say what you mean, you’re almost certain to say something closer to what you actually mean.

Indeed.

Well, the Cs now head out on a five-game Western road trip: GSW, Sac, Phoenix, Clips, Denver, with Phoenix being the second in two days and Denver being the fourth in six. I think we'll all know a little more after that swing.

That's a brutal road trip. I just hope they win the trap games (GSW and Sac) because I don't like their chances against the last three teams they'll face. They always struggle against the Nuggets and the Clippers.

Curious to see if they can keep the winning streak going in this road trip. I predict they go 3-2 in this trip.

82% of this board thought the Brown extension was terrible and he sucked, whoops

The Celtics have given the Warriors fits in recent seasons. I hope the Warriors don't return the favor now that the talent edge is reversed.

Mile-high at the end of a tough trip for an injured team is of course brutal.

Doc will surely be up for his former team.

Etc.

Celtics still cruise past a pretty good Dallas team that gets MVP performance from the best young player in NBA. I think the Celtics are for real. Playoffs may be a different story without a top 10 player and a weak front court. But I think a Nash like Suns or Horford led Hawks regular season with 55-60 wins is actually possible.

Interesting definition of "cruising".

You do realize that the Mavs were actually leading the game with 5:44 left in the 4th? With KP laying an egg as big as Tatums? That it took a 70 seconds span of Kemba hitting three contested threes in a row while the Mavs had a layup and FT rolling out of the rim and that this sucked the life out of the Mavs for the rest of the game.

the Celtics actually dodged a major bullet that the Mavs bricked like a dozen of wide open 3s in the first half alone. Because for the entire game they couldnt stop Luka from breaking down the defense and create open 3s.

Both teams are shooting around 35% from deep this season. Mavs shot 11-42 (26% despite all the open looks), Celtics shot 15-35 (43%). There you have your point differential...

I was somewhat unimpressed by the Celtics because i expected them better. Yes, first game without Hayward but the Mavs also played their 4th in six days. Tatum and KP cancelled each other out in epic fashion but like i said the Celtics couldnt stop Luka all game long from creating the 3s for the teammates. And if the Mavs hit them like they normally do the Mavs win...

We totally did not play a good game but yet we won it. These are key wins, certainly with one of your stars out and the other star shooting nothing but bricks. We willed ourselves to that W.

Including preseason when this thread was made, the celtics have won 13 of their first 14. I think it's fair to say this thread is the only thing exposed

I don’t think he’ll live up to his contract, but I don’t think he’ll be THAT far from doing so either. Hayward injury will give him and Tatum much needed reps.

Best part was the guy who created it trying to defend it last week instead of just taking the L and admitting defeat. And the 1 Sixers troll sticking up for him. Looking even worse for both after this last week. This thread is the Meme joke that won't end but it's ok.

Love it. Keep trying to save face, guy.

You’re the same poster that was calling out Boston fans 2-3? weeks ago saying you’d put $ on Boston finishing around the 8th seed or worse. Either own it, or stop humiliating yourself on here.

My predictions have nothing to do with what is happening. I stand by the Nets will finish higher and Boston will be a 5-10 seed. But my predictions dont change the facts, and im not some homer idiot who is going to analyze whats actually happening differently to meet my personal predictions or bias. if im wrong ill admit it, we'll see.

My big criticisms of Boston where their front court was going to be trash and they had no depth.

neither has been a problem and we have arleady seen brown and now heyward miss time and it not really effect them. maybe you arent able to seperate your predictions vs. your commentary on facts as the unfold, or cant conceed to anything... i dont have that issue

Still very early in the season, but at 9-1 and best record in the league, seems like the title of this thread was very premature.
