at the Celtics window is now and Markelle’s “elite form”

at Irving, Hayward, and Horford “are who they are.” So 3 all stars...????

How do you exclude Kyrie and Hayward when comparing the two teams? They’re 26 and 28. Let’s not act like they’re on the wrong side of 30 here... BOTH guys have at least a solid 5-7 years of elite play left in them. Now throw in a 20 year old Tatum and 21 year old Brown.

The way you describing the Celtics I woulda thought they’re made up of a bunch of past their prime all stars in their last hurrah

We sonnin the Sixers for the foreseeable future...

" at the Celtics window is now and Markelle’s “elite form”"

So you don't think they can make the finals this year? Is that why you find this funny? Plus you do remember Fultz was a number 1 pick who was injured last season right?

" at Irving, Hayward, and Horford “are who they are.” So 3 all stars...????"

Umm...yes?

I don't know why you're being so animated about this. Most critics fans are pretty mature on this thread.

I didn't even include Dario in the equation as he's the type glue guy you need in a contender.

But who knows what's going to happen in the next couple of years, if the Kings stink it up this year and they land #1, it goes to the sixers. We also have the assets and financial flexibility to land one Max star.

The Celtics are currently better, but don't be delusional and think they are leaps and bound better in the foreseeable future.

 

[Moheezy]

Possibly 5th seed and possible first round win. Top 5 offense and 5ish spots better defensively

They have the talent to even exceed that, its just putting the pieces together.

 

[Moheezy]

I would also like to add that Irving is the luckiest star in the league by playing next to Bron and now with the Celtics.

 

[BIG FISH]

Is hayward still considered an all star? Doubt he ever makes the team again. A core of tatum and brown don't excite me

Hayward is arguably the third best player at his position on his own team rn

I’m irrationally high on Indiana and lock in Boston and Toronto as 1,2 in terms of the regular season

Playoff time comes matchups will definitely matter much more obviously

1. I’m not mature cuz I threw in a few laughing emojis? I’m just keepin it light hearted my guy. Not that serious

2. I was laughing at the win now comment because your post made it sound like it’s “now or never” for this current Celtics team

3. I am well aware Fultz was the #1 pick last year. We traded y’all that pick

 

[VARNELL HILL]

It's gone be funny as hell when Miami lands Butler only for the needle not to move AT all and they still end up a 7/8 seed

 

[datznasty]

Their #1 draft pick makes a free throw line jump shot and a 3 that didnt count while ******* around and all hell breaks loose. #homerism I lke it!

 

[Quincy McCall]

Thibbs playin' crackhead gms

If Dragic's traded with no viable replacement at point then I can call this happening, although I have Heat currently closer to 4-6

 

[trynafeelmink]

Bruh there are few things in this world that are as unbearable as hearing Bill Simmons Talk about the Celtics

 

[bostoiah]

Peep the King’s draft board in the background

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He's ready

 

[illicit305]

as a heat fan all ima say is


we need to lose....


we need the zion

 

[Clyde Frog]

Giannis form definitely looks new and improved. Smooth, quicker, all in one motion. No hitches or awkwardness. Bud's protege shooting coach appears to be coming through.

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ayton just playing with his food against some rando New Zealanders

 

[HIM]

SGA out here...


Genuine Young core

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Both Zona guards were in my 2nd round value picks, even though Trier is a black hole

 

[illicit305]

you guys can argue all you want but its obviously boston

tradition, current stars and future stars not to mention a ton of draft picks still.

and theyre winning and the players they draft actually play right away

What picks do they actually have when you factor all the protections? More rj hunters?

 

[lynchpin33]

Reminds me of the story Jalen Rose told that the players wife sits in spot and the side candy sits on the opposite side of the arena.

 

[getback]

Nah but let every ignorant dumb **** believe they blew us off the court even though 3/4 of their wins were late 4th quarter leads we blew by 5 or less points

"But we kept it close!"

Moral victories.

They'll have 2 lotto picks in this upcoming draft on top of their own pick.
