Can't believe Jokic hurt his elbow in warmups.

Smith Jr. of the Rockets also got hurt in warmups.

Even warmups are dangerous now???

Limited Preseason; too few Practices Season-long.
None of these guys are ready.

Redick said Lakers will try 2-big lineup.

Cavs started this trend and now teams are starting to copy it, including the Celtics.

OKC thinks it can get away with playing Jaylin Williams at the 5 against the Cavs' double big.

Cavs owning OKC in the paint now.

Either way I’m jealous of what both these teams have

Not a guarantee, but both these teams might be the ones jealous of what the Celtics have in June 2025.

Cavs have the advantage in the paint, but the Cavs shooting is not good.

Like I keep saying, shooting is up and down.

Let it play out.

SGA is creeping up into the Jokic tier

OKC mopped the floor with the Cavs in the first half. Full roster OKC, with the home court advantage, I don’t know man. Doesn’t sound realistic to me.

Cavs don't look so invincible now, huh?

You also "hinted" the Celtics winning a championship last season wasn't realistic because of Joe, Tatum, etc.

Let it play out!

Kneeing someone in the nuts whether intentional or not should be at the very least an offensive foul. This rule change will fix the NBA.

Their average is is 23. They lost to the 5 seed Mavs last post season, and in their most meaningful game of the season, they got smoked. There's plenty of reasons to be apprehensive about what this regular season juggernaut can do in the playoffs when it matters, because they've flopped every chance they've had to prove themselves as more than a regular season team playing harder than everyone else. Championship still goes through Boston. Don't be surprised to see a Celtics Nuggets finals.

Can't imagine my team being down 36 to any team. Tsk.

According to some fans on here, there is nothing wrong with Boston.It's just the regular season but they like to sit back and watch melt downs.

It's like some of the most unrealistic people around

Dort's kind of an unbelievable story. Who knew he'd turn into a 40% 3-pt shooter at any point of his career? 1st Team All-Defense material too.

Well it all got started because some coach on some team gave him the chance.. He would have been sent up to the g league or clapping his hands for us on our bench

For sure. Fire Joe.

Just goes to show that proclaiming a champion in December or January would have meant Mavs fans would not have seen the Celtics beat the Mavs in June.
