    I was surprised and happy to see how good klay looked back ftom achilles and acl. I remember seeing him shake his head 1q like these celtics are nothing. I knew at that point the game was over

    The Celtics gotta go back to the drawing board. They can’t beat the Warriors.

    Tatum and Brown should be the most deadly new duo in the NBA. There is some odd chemistry between those 2.... when it's crunch time... against playoff type teams... they simply aren't good for each other.

    Additionally Tatum is borderline queer.... and needs to be a man. How in the hell did coach K not go off on this kid daily... I have no idea. Full blown pansy.

    Brad Stevens is having nightmares right now... he has to trade Brown... or Tatum.

    Tatum in weird in that he doesn't show much emotion. Got his /ss handed to him in the Finals last year and never really responded. It was bizarre to most everyone, what happened to this guy, he just disappeared.

    Smart name fits him well. great team player. modern day kurt rambis. but jaylen brown is still most underrated player on the celtics. many nights he outplays tatum without the fanfare.

    Celts don't have a steph, kd, or lebron type. it is rare a team can win a chip without a top 2 mvp talent. portland in the early 2k's were a great team, but couldn't beat the lakers because shaq or kobe would take over. refs too. detroit pistons are one of few teams to ever win chips without mvp players. they were built different.

    Celtics are a one trick pony. Bunch of forwards. When it works, let me know.

    They talk about how getting Robert Williams is going to make a difference. How is Robert Williams much different from what they already have.

    Basketball is a team sport. You need screeners. Blake Griffin screens but he's on old legs. You need a guy who can run the fast break. You need a center to get rebounds. It's more like a symphony than a drilling exhibition.

    But I could be wrong. They have the best record and according to books +321 to win the title, the best chance. Next to Bucks +541 Warriors +751 (Pinnacle). Everyone else +1000 plus

    It's like I said their weakness is they can't keep up. On offense you have to run around these guys like Steph, if you do that they are mush. Too big to follow anyone, like a human trying to swat a fly we're too big and slow. Will coaches recognize this, I know the Warriors do.

    Nets futures finally moved, just a little bit. Day'Ron Sharpe had a monster day rebounding, coming from the D League. Nets benched 8 guys and won at Indiana. lol

    I'm involved with DFS, Brooklyn called up five, Sharpe, Sumner, Edwards, two others.
    I like Sharpe. thing is Brooklyn ain't winning with a bench full of D leaguers.
    Durant is a monster, Kyrie is a quality PG when his head is in the game, I've been a big fan of Royce O'Neal since his Utah days, bottom line is Brooklyn ain't winning shit with KD, Kyrie, and eight guys named Mo.

    Bottom line, the East goes through Milwaukee and Boston.
    Period

    bux are a balanced team. need a healthy middleton and yannis, especially middleton he seems prone to injury but they have the shooter (kris) the center (yannis best in the league) and lock out defender (jrue). portis and lopez, connaughton can show up hot

    What are they offering on the Bucks, +300 or so?

    I watched some of that Celtics game tonight, Leonard look sharp for a change.

    Celtics are nothing without Horford. People talk best duo in the NBA but the Celtics are really a trio.

    Agree horford makes a difference. And yet they are +321 bucks +542 for the title. Warriors +752 everyone else 1000+ makes no sense but it's reality

    Horford 36 no spring chicken anymore

    Leonard playing at 75%. Yeah he was a smooth cat last night

    Clippers moved up the title board to +900, behind the Celtics Bux and Warriors

    Who is putting down cash on the Celtics on low return odds. I hope they lose it all.

    Not me, it's the Bucks or nobody in the East.
    Clips are a good under the radar sleeper pick too.

    Yeah somebody did. Maybe they're right but at +150 to win the East that seems more like a version of a new joke. Not much return.

    Clips odds getting less under the radar.

    Portland (18-9) have the best ATS record.
    Celtics (17-11-1) have the second best ATS record.

    Bucks are 15-11-1 against the spread.
