    Still, it’s worth noting that since 2003, the only number one overall NBA draft picks who were healthy enough to play who did not open their rookie seasons as starters were Anthony Bennett and Andrea Bargnani. That is not a group you want to be a part of, at all.

    Tatum and jaylen in the starting lineup along with Irving, Hayward and horford. Really hope the young guys seize the opportunity and don't let go of their spots

    I know the season is starting earlier than usual but damn this feels weird, not complaining at all though...had an eventful summer to say the least, ready to see what we can do on the court now

    @CJ
    @HustleThaDon

    Realistic expectations for the season?

    I think anything less than a competitive out in the conference finals would have to be considered a failure

    Same conference finals

    Maybe not a better regular season record but definitely a better team.

    Honestly won't be surprised if we go home in the second round again tho.

    Lol seems convenient you're excited and posting more now that we have 3 all stars. I've barely seen you evaluate our talent, in the beginning of the Celtics thread you were super critical and called me "a fool" for saying we'd win 45 games a few years ago due to Stevens getting the most out of players. Nope and John B are consistent, too many times I saw u barely say anything Celtics related outside of 1 sentence.

    There's too much going on in the sports world and in life for me to be on here like that. As i have said i watch a lot of football until its over then get into the NBA, And so what I'm critical of the Cs post the BIG 3. You can't
    be as a fan? So when you guys were belly aching about Ainge and how he drafted, and "NOPE" wanted him fired that was ok, but I can't be critical? ha ha...


    i just dont got the time to sit here and battle it out with katz online anymore.. I was doing that back w Tommy, laker and Detroit fans back in 08....i dont have anything to prove and don't care what others think

    you barking up the wrong tree if you think i'm some over night Cs fan....

    But i'm good being a individual..you can keep your Celtics fan circle of like 2 people(no diss to other Cs fan) and eat a pop tart everytime they do something you don't like.

    Who are you? The last word to a Cs fan..have you ever listen to boston sports radio? You do realize there is a lot of Cs fan that don't share your same opinion right, or have their own?

    Your opinion is not better then mine...I keep it real about them, if they sucking, they sucking.......i wasnt a big fan of the teams roster after the BIG 3, but respected their grain and hustle though. Wanted them to draft Tatum, when this board thought they were taken Fultz. Like this direction over last years, or previous years roster/and direction of the team.

    look at it how you wanna. I'm good either way.

    I agree, I'm not concerned about chemistry issues and think we'll be fine throughout the regular season honestly

    James and Cliff are both at the point in their careers where regular season wins and accolades are nice but they're going to be judged off of their playoff performance and success

    Neither one of them can really afford to have another disappointing and/or ? end to their postseason.....especially Harden

    AX dont listen to Boston radio cause hes from DC or somewhere in that area.

    Get him Ghost!

    I know he doesn't.....i was just saying..not everyone feels the same way he feels. I mean NOPE wanted Danny Ainge fired cause the Cs traded down to get Tatum....like word!?!?

    I don’t remember this but I don’t doubt it happened I know I was around, I was here reppin when we traded for the big 3 and Knicks fans were trying tell me signing Zach Randolph was a bigger deal and it was going to take a couple years before the Celtics do anything, this is why to this day I still say Knicks have the dumbest fans and it still holds true, AZTG is an anomaly
