    Celtics were younger than the Raptors and we brought in a top 3 pick as well as a top 3 free agent, you really want to get into a debate about who's front office is better?

    Yall picked 3rd... and didn't walk away with a top 5 player. You got Jeff green with no shot. Then you maxed out a 31 year old. Lol. But you got it.

    Let's not get into the contract y'all gave Clayface

    Killing our front office? 1 first round exit in like 15 years and he wanna get bold lol raptors over achieved last year u wanna slander my squad like your starting backcourt didn't shrink consistently in the playoffs. Yall are likely gonna be the team to regress almost every team on the east got better except for yall, u better hold onto that 56 win season last year cuz yall ? gonna have a soul to soul moment this season

    We stunk all the way to the ECF. What happens if ? rolling tho?

    We were the 2nd youngest team in the league last year. We are better this year by default. One of the better and longest standing coaching staffs in the league. prospects at every position. Short term and long term outlook bright as ? . Top 5 pg, top 5 sg, top 10 center all still getting better. Our bench been going in. What yall got besides tears??

    Lol at tears I'm not mad let's avi bet on who will have a better record I'm the type that's not gonna forget this u the one typing annotated bibliographies yet claim I'm mad don't bring that reason thinking in here

    I really envy the Cs. ? finessed the hell out of the Nets and might end up with a top 3 pick in this loaded draft class. If they play their cards right they should be set for the next 6-8 years

    True but I do expect him to have even better production running at PG and with Middleton out and I think he'll be an all star this season
