    I like Boston. I think they could give the dubs problems.

    Crazy sneaker madness. Everyone on the Celtics is wearing different color shoes: orange, blue, red, green...what guy is wearing one blue and one red shoe.

    When you think about it, are the Warriors really going to the Finals this year? It is near impossible for a team to go to the NBA Finals 5 straight years. I'm 44 and it hasn't happened in my life time. I remember how washed the Lakers were in the 2002-03 season. They were a sub .500 team for half the season and it was the exact same roster that had just won three straight championships.

    Which could happen since they've played over four hundred games in the last four years. An athletes body can only hold up so much. Of course, they are so loaded that they still have the talent to reach the Finals even if one of their big 4 is out.

    The best we can hope for is multiple injuries or that the Warriors get so full of themselves they shit the bed.

    Fultz' freethrow looks smooth again. So glad he was able to regain his shooting form.

    Kyrie is straight trash. I'd take Stauskas over him. At least Stauskas can make a shot.

    Kyrie 0/8. He makes the Celtics worse on both sides of the court.

    You know whats frustrating? The Warriors are so loaded that the league would actually have more parity than ever if they didn't exist.

    The East is going to be entertaining as hell, with there being 3 top teams in Toronto, Boston, and Philadelphia who could all easily make the finals. But none of those teams are good enough where it'd be a surprise if darkhorses like Indiana, Milwaukee, or Washington beat them.

    In a West without the Warriors, the Rockets would be the favorites but they got worse this off-season, especially on defense. I think that the West would be a wide-open 6-7 team race with all teams having a chance at the Finals.

    You'd legitimately have 10 or so teams with a bigger chance at winning a championship than the runner-up will have against Golden State.

    But I'll buy in. The guy who shot higher percentages from every part of the floor than Dame last year can't make a shot? Yikes.

    How good would we be with Jayson Tatum as our starting Small Forward?

    Celtics have talent, but the sixers are in it
