LETS GO CELTICS

Celtics v. Spurs:

Even without White and Porzingas, it wasn't close.

I’d say this is BB-like but it might be more like Parcels

Do you all think this is finally the year we're Jayson Tatum and crew put it together in the playoffs? The East is wide open

I really thought they would win it last year, I'm hopeful for this year, gotta be healthy and playing their best when it counts though

It all falls on Tatum. Fair or not the NBA is more of a players league than the NFL. He must deliver

Injuries play a huge role in the NBA playoffs, and Porzingas isn't any kind of iron man, so I'll say that it depends on how healthy they are going in.

He does have easily the best supporting cast in the NBA. One of the best I can recall. He really doesn’t need to carry them at all any more.

Porzingis and White are two of the most efficient players in the league by many metrics. Holiday and White and White are the best defensive backcourt in the league and arguably the best overall as well.

I actually think White is their best player. He leads in the NBA in plus-minus and one of only a few players in the 90+ percentile on offense and defense. He’s the guy who always delivers when it matters.

Nothing against Tatum, who I like very much. But if he’s really an all nba first team player, he should win this season.

Fingers crossed. That is the big risk with him. Injuries are the Celtics biggest foe right now since they’re in a class by themselves.

When you put it that way I'm feeling nervous about that. Injuries are bound to happen more so to Porzingis

Horford wearing down is a non-injury concern, too. They're resting him a lot, but they definitely need to be looking at options for another legit big come the trade deadline and beyond.

LeBron leads in flops, faking injuries, getting attention, whining, being a bitch, half assing the entire regular season, demanding trades, getting coaches fired, manufacturing super teams and playing victim when he loses to a better one.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

Celtics have played the tough part of their schedule. Would be great if they don’t get psyched out in Miami. I’s a much easier schedule the rest of the way. Long homestand coming up. No more brutal back to backs on road vs quality teams. Only a few tough road games remaining. I expect they’ll widen their lead significantly since Philly and Milwaukee have had pretty easy schedules so far.

 

[Deus Irae]

It would be great if they grew some balls and brains, and got a coach who knew what the hell he was doing. They'd be a shoe-in for the title.

I haven't kept up with the Celtics much I'm a Warriors fan(Filipino after all).

Don't they lead the East? What's the coach doing wrong?
