2017-2018 Boston Celtics: No Irving! No Hayward! No Brooklyn Pick!

[godfather]

Celtics wouldn't get by Toronto.

We might need to start taking Toronto more seriously. I DO think Toronto could beat us in a series.

Boston doesn't have enough. They have overachieved.

Toronto could beat us in a series, IMHO. We're not as good as last few years. People will say blah, blah, look what we've done against them.

Different teams though.

The Celtics still need to get past the Cavs in the East. Don't think LeBron will let Kyrie beat him. If LeBron stays in the East. Kyrie not winning rings in the East. Plus Kyrie's contract has 1 more year on it. It will be interesting to see what happens, especially with the Warriors.

I honestly think preventing kyrie from getting to the finals is a huge goal for Bron for many years to come.

I can see Kyrie with more rings than LeBron in not too many years.

Kyrie won't win another ring.

Pretty telling. I know the game is not over.

But Kyrie might end up with more wins against the Warriors this year than LeBron and us will against them for the entire season (including the finals).

Not convinced we can even win a game in a series against GS.

not convinced we can win a game against Boston or Toronto either...

I agree. You aren't wrong.

But that doesn't answer my question of why regular season games mean jack shit.

If regular season games dont mean anything, why play them?

No, im not, we could possibly fall to number 4 or 5 the way we playing. Thats not good IMO

Who gives a shit? If they lose as the one seed or the five seed, they still lost.

As soon as the NBA starts giving out trophies for regular season wins, call me.

If we're in the ECF regardless, i'd say that's good.

Boston needs more firepower to stay with Golden State in a series.

We have the firepower but we don't have the defense.

I think our energy level to play defense will be better in the playoffs. Assuming we actually use our depth/rotation well.

My thing is outside of LeBron do we have a guy like Kyrie who can get buckets against the Warriors? Who can score efficiently and play through the Warriors contact (least foul called team in the league)

warriors in 4, with ease
