I am not a long term investor.
Today they are better than nearly all the lol NBA. The bench is deep, trusted and well used.
The Horford concussion IS a problem next few days. Against the Lakers it was a non-issue.
Celts are not close to a Finals Team. That is a select preordained group.
You mentioned Tatum. Kid is 19. Come March 1st he will still be 19. He is unprepared for the grind. Just one example. They will be gassed and revert to something less by March... but maybe not
Brad Stevens IS god. Especially for what he has done in prior years.
NE Ohio life-long Cavs fan. I thought my vitriol would give that away. Kyrie has pretty much frustrated me for like 6 years now outside of a few spectacular playoff performances. He's one of those guys who entertains you with his handle and finishing, but he doesn't show up half the time and he's basically been the same player his entire career. I've heard the new and improved Kyrie shit a hundred times already, but the numbers remain the same. He has another shit 7/21 game with 5 assists and 3 to's and ESPN writes glowing shit about him.
Stevens has an amazing ability to get his team to care about the regular season, but they'll get their head caved in come playoff time as they have the past few years. They have a bunch of guys who'd be fantastic third options on a real contender. Hell, even Love kills Horfraud every playoff and Love rarely kills anyone anymore. They are just the quintessential regular season stalwart who is drawing dead to make the finals. Brown/Tatum look for real though, but young guys wither come playoff time. The Celtics have a bright future, and they're longer and more athletic, but they have no more finals equity this year than last year unless Lebron gets hurt. So much of the good basketball podcast world revolving around Simmons and guys he gave a job to doesn't lessen my hatred of all things Celtics. I like the pods, but they're shameless when they throw the Celtics into every conversation when they don't have a top 10 player in the league on their roster.
Everyone is drawing dead to beat GS barring 2 torn ACLs amongst their top 3.
