  1. You guys are such homers. What depth does Boston have? They have 6 proven guys, followed by a bunch of dudes who either couldnt perform before, or second round picks.

  2. Celtics are definitely the favorites. Milwaukee is one superstar away from getting injured. Turning into a disaster. They’re bench got worse to. Celtics have six players who can put up 30 points. If one of them get injured, they can still be the best team.

  3. Boston under 54.5 feels super easy. The chances of Porzingis playing even half the games have gotta be extremely low. Also these fellas are acting like they traded for prime Jrue Holiday. He's 33 years old right now.

  4. I remember always wondering why Celtics Twitter universally hated Bill Simmons and now it makes sense…no way in hell did this man just say he'd take Mikal Bridges over Jaylen Brown based on a 27 game sample in which Mikal became a classic good stats bad team guy where he put up good scoring numbers (still not better than JB over that stretch) and his defense fell off tremendously because he's a classic 3&D guy whose on great on defense because that's where most of his energy goes to but the minute you ask him to score his defense falls off. We saw Bridges as the best guy absolutely FOLD in the playoffs and get swept, whereas JB as a 2nd year guy was the best player on the Celtics in the playoffs and took them to the game 7 of the ECF against LeBron. Then we've seen JB be the absolute best player on the Celtics where Tatum couldn't even buy a bucket and JB won 2 games against the Warriors.

  5. I need to know if they've done this every year, and if so, did they review their thoughts after the year was over because I want to watch that even more than this.
