2 many guys wanna be the men - they gotta unload a few players

[pavyracer]

Nothing wrong. Players are cashing in on huge MLs for Knicks to buy gifts on Black Friday.

[MrSink]

Hayward sux hard in every single line up

[jjgold]

Irving

Can’ t win being ball hogs

East much better

Parity rampant all over League now

[lonegambler23]

dont have alot of scorers. vastly over rated team

[JaimeMiro]

East conference finals: Bucks Vs Raptors. Kwahi... Celtics get bounced in the 1st or 2nd round. Irving is overrated

[keely85]

The whole league is looking mediocre right now. I assume the Warriors can turn it on, but no one is looking that overwhelming right now.

Imagine if Philly had taken anyone besides fultz. They’d be so legit with jimmy in tow

[lakerboy]

They lost to the Knicks?😂😂😂😂

[Golden fleece]

Starbury would do well over in china

Van horn belongs on the blacktop somewhere in l.a with wesley snipes

[KRIT]

Hayward sucks.

[DeathAdder]

Too many assets that want the spotlight but not enough rock to share around. Roster looks smooth on paper, but when you got too much talent all vying for the spotlight things tend to go down the gutter. I said it before and now I look like a genius. Needed to trade some of those 1st rounders for Anthony Davis when Pels were looking to offload him.

If I'm the Lakers, I'm getting on the phone with Ainge and dicussing how I can acquire Horford.

kyrie is the man!

[krk1030]

Too many mouths to feed.

Balance has never worked in NBA other than the 03 pistons.

[Bucketwah]

their good, just not great. They have 1 all star on their roster with a bunch of role players. However, they have a great coach. Top 3-4 in the league imo..They”ll finish 4th in the east with toronto, bucks, philly ahead of them. Solid squad but not contenders

[IBetYou]

I tried to tell you Stevens lovers that the Celtics' great playoff run was due to great chemistry. Now they get a couple players back and the chemistry disappears and guess what? ...he don't look like a great coach.

[jjgold]

They were much better last year without Irving and Hayward

[Mrtop7]

well the celtics are not driving to the hoop which gets the fouls. The celtics are next to last in free throw rate. So when stevens changes his game plan they will score more points. Brown is a terrible shooter also.

And Ainge would laugh and hang up. Lakers have nothing to offer back. Their roster is trash.

Celtics still figuring out rotations.

Tatum’s lessons from Kobe have turned him into shooting bad shots.

Hayward not close to being back and his minutes have negatively impacted Brown and Rozier. They need Gordon to show some life so he can be dealt along with likely Brown and a few picks for Anthony Davis.

Far too early to panic if you are Boston. Let’s see how the standings look in mid Feb when season gets going before judging most teams.

[lakerboy]

They will be in the finals obviously

[jjgold]

Lol

No Laker

You can’t win series after a series on the road in the playoff take too much out of you

Bucks are big big time

You have a vivid imagination. If Davis were available the Celtics would have him. Trading Horford is the last thing they need to do -he was their star in last year's Cinderella run.

[jjgold]

Boston best players are the reserves

They are done

Irving plays zero defense

[Golden fleece]

They will be in the finals obviously

I'd rather the Pacers in 7 games

[gojetsgomoxies]

interesting.. i think there are alot of trades that make sense in the NBA right now. alot of teams need to be re-aligned........ horford would be great for lakers, but wouldn't LAL just be trading back more players who want to "be the man" i.e. would just be more crowded rotation?

Boston has best 10 players I have ever seen

They will win it all barring injuries

[Seto]

Missing tons of open threes.

Missing swagger because for the first time they are being touted by pundits and hunted by other teams.

Missing chemistry because they are trying to figure it out and some dudes possibly being too unselfish at times or in their own heads.

They'll be fine. When it's all said and done they'll be right there in late May and possibly June.

[Seto]

They will be in the finals obviously

Who do you have in the East finals? It's pretty hard to pick this year. I'm keeping an open mind.

[Bucketwah]

They will be in the finals obviously

They will not be in the finals. Their just not that good..

[MrSink]

we are under 20 games . thats hilarious

Toronto/Philly

Just better talent.

Yes. It also gets the other team rushing the paint, allowing turning around and kicking it back out for open 3's. Celtics should have someone dribble into the paint ad nauseam, even it it's clogged up, then pass back out to any number of open shooters.

Also not worried yet. Mr. November is important in baseball, not basketball.

They're shooting 35% on wide open 3's so far this year, good for 23rd in the league. They get 19 of them a game, 5th in the league. So they're getting the shots they want. They shot 38% last year on those with worse talent. Some guys are just really struggling right now, Jaylen Brown being the most obvious one.

Lol Toronto does not have more talent than Boston. Beyond Kawhi, on "talent" they're actually quite laughable. It's just a well put together group that's been playing with each other for a while for the most part, and obviously Kawhi is a freak. They're very much like the 2016-2017 Spurs in a way. This isn't to say they won't be in the finals, they very well could be. It's close between that top 3. And Milwaukee, hell even Indiana aren't crazy/impossible picks either. It's funny how open it gets when the King leaves the conference.
