**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[bostoiah]

True. But what does it tell you that those teams were slipping, Indy missed Vic for like two weeks, yall were on fire and yall still haven't moved up. I think the Celtics will be fortunate if they end up as anything higher than a 5th seed

I think we finish 2nd by the end of the season.

 

[jumpman91023]

That man has had a solid career. Are all those seasons in Denver post Melo Trade.

Could never stay healthy in Denver, it was a struggle to watch what he had become last season

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Boston has only played 12 home games. The teams ahead of them have played 17, 15, 16, 15 respectively. The 3 teams behind them have played 17, 17, and 16 at home.

K

I think we finish 2nd by the end of the season.

I think I already have a bet with you. Double up?

 

[pums]

The Paul George trade is one of the few trades that worked out well for both organizations.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I think we finish 2nd by the end of the season.

Huh? With Jaylen and Hayward in the struggle.

 

[getback]

In January 15 of 19 games are home for Boston.

To the dude who said he thinks Boston will be 5th or lower throw ya bread up BIG LEEMELONE

 

[B Sox]

Put some money up BIG LEEMELONE . Guarantee Boston is a top 4 seed.

 

[ThePeoplesChamp_]

 

[JD617]

I think probably 3rd. I'll be shocked if they finish outside the top 4.

 

[jsindaa]

Wait, y'all are in here declaring the Celtics mediocre and we've barely gotten though 30 games? I swear y'all just wanna be put on the summer jam screen

 

[B Sox]

Huh? With Jaylen and Hayward in the struggle.

You think it's unfathomable that the Celtics can make up a 2 game deficit with 53 games left?

 

[bostoiah]

Huh? With Jaylen and Hayward in the struggle.

Bruh we 2 games out of 2nd right now....this ain’t some impossible feat

 

[amitt5504]

It's not blasphemous to say Boston would finish 5th. Boston, Philly, Milwaukee and Indiana are all in that 2nd tier below Toronto. I wouldnt be surprised if any team finished 2nd or 5th

I see getback and B Sox already offered to put some bread up...I’ll pass on this one.

I’m sticking with our original bet tho

 

[Maximus Meridius]

You think it's unfathomable that the Celtics can make up a 2 game deficit with 53 games left?

Who said it's unfathomable?

Anything is impossible but if we going by what we've seen so far nah I don't see ya'll being the 2 seed with Jaylen and Hayward being garbage.

 

[B Sox]

It's not blasphemous to say Boston would finish 5th. Boston, Philly, Milwaukee and Indiana are all in that 2nd tier below Toronto. I wouldnt be surprised if any team finished 2nd or 5th

We sure Toronto is in a different tier?

 

[amitt5504]

We sure Toronto is in a different tier?

Yes

Might not be a gigantic difference but they are definitely better than Boston, Philly, Milwaukee and Indiana

 

[B Sox]

Celts going to be in 2nd place once the Christmas games are over.

 

[amitt5504]

Whatever makes you sleep at night lol

 

[Maximus Meridius]

We sure Toronto is in a different tier?

Ya'll just as good as the Raptors?

 

[B Sox]

Ya'll just as good as the Raptors?

I mean, we are 1-1 against them "with Jaylen and Hayward in the struggle."

 

[amitt5504]

I mean, we are 1-1 against them "with Jaylen and Hayward in the struggle."

With this same flawed logic, this Knicks are 1-1 against yall so they should be contenders in the East

 

[jsindaa]

This is a serious discussion? I'm gone

 

[B Sox]

With this same flawed logic, this Knicks are 1-1 against yall so they should be contenders in the East

Except they are 9-23. Dudes in here acting like Boston has some kind of trash record. 3.5 games out of first while getting off to a bad start and playing less home games than everyone. Next 4 games at home, 2 of which against teams ahead of them in the standings that they've already beat. Team is righting the ship.

they have looked relatively mediocre so far compared to what they were expected to be (a lot of talk about them being equal to the Warriors prior to the season). They're in the east & they have easily the most talented roster in the conference, they should probably come out of the east.

Point being As of today they are underachieving & Brad isn't getting any of the heat as opposed to when they overachieve he got all the praise. Most people aren't claiming they will be a team fighting for a playoff spot.
