If the Celtics don't get to the Finals, hard to make an argument to keep Mazzulla and the Jays together. I mean ffs just forward to Nuggets/Celtics.

The thing with the Nuggets is Murray's health. He is pretty injury prone so that will be something to watch as the playoffs unfold. Teams need to have a lot of luck to win championships.

Next evolution of his game this offseason. Work on ballhandling just a little bit. Maybe a floater. There's a Peja Stojakovic waiting to burst out of that guy.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Ok. I'll BM the prediction. great call if you are right and its a Celts-Nuggs final.

I'm kinda commited to it being that. It would have to be a massive screwup for the Celts not to reach the finals. Maybe, maybe, maybe suddenly the Knicks are all healthy somehow. And the Js choke. I don´t think it likely, but it's possible. Brunson is otherworldly.

And I don´t really see problems for the Nuggs in the west

Hard to fire anyone if your team loses to a leam led on court by probably the best player of all time,

Joe only gets fired if the Cs still don't win Banner 18 by 2025.

Just like Wyc Grousbeck had enough when the Cs lost to Miami last year.

This season is the first season Joe had KP, Jrue, and the improved versions of PP and Sam.

Joe will get a 2nd shot at winning Banner 18 in 2025.

Or Joe will be going for a repeat and Banner 19 in 2025.

Joe is the least of this team's problems.

Late game execution is the main problem.
