    ? , i don't know. Maybe you're right. 8th seed gonna be open. I can't really figure out what team will make it because I see about 4 of them fighting for the last spot.

    Let me tell you something if I told you last year this time that we were going to trade Jeff Green and Rondo and still grab the 7th seed you all would of flagged me so don't ? tell me when the Celtics have only got better since last year that in this weak ass division that it's out of the realms of reality for us to grab the 5th or 6th seed

    Wizards bruh? John Wall is going to relapse this year watch, when things aren't going good he's not the type to put a team on his back, they had a disappointing year and offseason and when Nene gets hurt and Drew Gooden is starting and Beal can't stay healthy and Gortat falls all the way the ? off...things won't be going good

    Its all good theyre sleeping on coach stevens but im confident in this improved team to battle this year. We were top 5 in the league in assist, fast break points and PPG the 2nd half of the year. That 24-12 record to end the year wasnt a fluke but let em keep sleeping tho

    my bold prediction is that the clippers got paul pierce one year too late and his signing wont have much of an impact.

    Pretty sure pierce was brought in cuz of leadership and to help fortify a weak bench.He's 38 years old and been in the league 16 years not sure what impact you expected him to have besides that he'll be a role player

    lol so we're gonna act like we didn't beat multiple Western Conference teams on the road. I love the disrespect tho our offensive system is one of the most potent in the Eastern Conference great bench scoring, along with great ball movement multiple guys had career years last year. We've improved this offseason as well Stevens will lead us to at least 45 wins barring injury

    No it's not, the C's aren't that good. It will be funny seeing you have flip outs posting about you need a turkey leg after every Boston loss and gorging on ice cream like women do when they get dumped

    wanna put some type of wager on that cuz u sounding real bold with the disrespect of my squad? lls

    Every team has wins against teams they have no business beating Ax. It's an 82 game season.

    We beat the Spurs on the road. So the hell what.

    If the Heat and Pacers were themselves? ? ? we traded our so called 2 best players in the middle of the season, we had 40 different players on the roster from the start of the 2014 season, we dealt with injuries, when we became "ourselves" we went 24-12 to the end the season and grabbed the 7th seed not 8th seed, Indiana might of knocked us back to 8 had they got George back earlier but Miami wasn't no lock for anything foh, and they aren't this year either

    So what you're saying is the C's " became themselves" and the heat never did right?

    And this season y'all winning at the very least 45 games?

    ? acting like Knicks fans after that one overachieving season

    When the Heat were themselves they weren't even that good, Celtics won games facing the same type of diversity yall faced probably more, the Heat couldn't
