    Celtics will dissapoint this year. Unless they make another trade they won't make it out the 2nd round.

    Al Horford will be a dissapointment

    This seems to be the consensus, what is your reason for this tho because you're reasonable enough to react without feelings. The floor spacing and pick and pop ability horford provides will benefit us. He wasn't brought it to be a go to superstar but he'll help immensely

    @BlackAX410

    1. Your pg and best player is 5'9
    2. Horford is not a superstar who'll put you over the ? against Cleveland. He's 31 years old and peaked 3 years ago. Not a great rebounder or shot blocker at this point in his career.
    3. Avery Bradley once again will miss at least 15-20 games
    4. Y'all drafted jalen brown a light version of justice winslow

    I don't think anyone thinks we'll be in the finals this season but we're building year by year for people to think we'll be the 6th seed or a 1st round exit is a reach. Smart and rozier improving will change the dynamic of our team too

    How is it a reach for people to think y'all will be a 6th seed? Could y'all be a top 3 seed? Yes. This is the eastern conference anything is possible.

    I just expect more this season if we don't have home court advantage this season will be a disappointment

    Damn I thought ? were coming through with with their predictions but nope...just a Raptors Celtics back and forth

    These ? caught feels. It's a prediction thread but apparently you can't predict ? .
    I'm just sharpening my knives for the season.

    If The Raptors left the league tomorrow it would be months before anyone noticed.

    Is there two "stars" that have been as consistently bad in the playoffs as Lowry and Derozan?

    (I'm still watching for my guy Siakham tho.)
