I hope Heat Agriculture is a typo, because I love it.

Below .500 on games vs teams that matter.

That's being selective.

You're really going to leave out the Knicks and Cavs when the Knicks are 12 games over .500 and the Cavs are 11 games over .500?

Knicks and Cavs don’t matter lol

even in some of the selective losses we were a shot from it looking differently. no one is happy about our losses but compare it to the league, it's not as bad as that whittle-down seems.

That said, this is why I said people need to watch out for the Clippers. Which of course everyone disagreed at the time lol.

Was the same last season with the Clippers.

Question will always be whether or not they can get a healthy run out of PG and Kawhi.

We will probably reach the finals. That’s it though. This team cannot beat any contender from west 4 times in 7 games.

People don’t want to admit it because he’s so disliked, but Harden has been MASSIVE for them.

I'm really not a Joe fan.

It would've been ideal if Brad hired a veteran coach after Ime got suspended.

Even Doc Rivers would've been a better hire than Joe at that time.

But Brad has his agenda.

What's funny is apparently some of the Celtic fans here only blame the guys that they don't like, JB and Joe are two examples.

Derrick White had one of his worst games of the season and nobody is saying anything about it.

Maybe because Derrick is a very likable guy? :lol:

He’s been good but the biggest thing has been Kawhi basically playing in every game.

They haven’t had that at all since they’ve been here.

Always been scrambling to win enough games only to then have their playoffs derailed by injuries anyway

Better making the finals than not, right?

Or it's better if the Cs just don't make the finals?

It was just like the Nuggets scoring 84 against the Knicks the other day, a freak cold shooting game for most of the team.

96 tonight, 100 vs the Nuggets and 102 in the ass whupping vs the Bucks. Almost seems like every tough game they can’t hit anything…

Look around the league. The same thing has happened to the Thunder, to the Nuggets, to the Wolves, etc.

Nothing in the regular season will tell us anything about this team.

The Thunder beat the Nuggets twice in Denver. Denver came to Boston and took our 27 game win streak away. What signature win does Boston have on the road this year? Nothing. Probably the 8th seeded Dallas win..

For me it’s quite the opposite. I see a team that makes 100 three’s in games that don’t matter and a team struggling tremendously to do the same vs teams who match their talent level. 3/5 of this teams main guns are also struggling hard against elite competition, with Jrue Holiday being absolutely **** awful in basically every game. This is absolutely a major reason to be concerned for what is to come. Major.

Healthy KL is one of the best to ever do it, he's one of a few who can pull a team along with him to a chip. he's battled and beaten the best, I'm glad he's healthy, he is fun to watch because he is methodical. I hope we beat him in the finals but there is a long road to that.

Correct. We are very beatable without him. That’s not really surprising though.

Without him we are relying on Al who simply isn’t as good offensively as he was even two years ago.

Kristaps simply has to be healthy in the playoffs or we are not going anywhere.

Good news is Jrue says he wants to remain a Celtic long term.

White also wants to stay.

If both guards get extensions then Grousbeck's 6-year window will be a reality.

Way too many 3s that were contested. They weren’t good shots. Team is such one trick pony without Porzingis.

Make nothing against real teams and lose.

Lost to OKC, scraped by Minny at home in OT, demolished by the Bucks, lost to Denver, lost to Clippers.

This is the Al Horford Hawks all over again.

The Al Horford Hawks?

Good lord

Jrue's gonna turn 34 in the middle of the NBA finals. Who knows if he has more than a year left in his tank.

Tatum got good shots, and hit them.

Jaylen got good shots, he just didn’t hit them. Holiday got good shots, he just didn’t hit them. White got good shots, he just didn’t hit them. Al got good shots, he just didn’t hit them.
