Celtics 2023 - 2024 Discussion

[RobertWeathers]

LeBron has won three championships with super teams (people forget that pre-assembled 2014-15 Cavs team was the preseason favorite, not the Warriors) and one ridiculous championship in the bubble against like two Hear starters. Every year you hear about how this guy might be the greatest ever and constant whining that he only has one all-nba teammate.

LeBron should be in the HoF now. He'll even tell you he should.

Strange. 4 days of posts about a tough loss against the Warriors on Wednesday night and not a word is mentioned about 2 dominating wins on Fri/Sat nights.

That's a good thing. We're looking at this team as how they're on pace to win a title. There's more to unpack after a bad loss at this point then a regular season romp

Celtics opened as -1.5 favorites and now that has risen to -3. I got a lecture last night from a nephew about the many different options available and has perked my interest considering betting on specific players. Jaylen has been so hot lately will he surpass 24 points today?

Guessing KP is playing.

LeBron is such a *****

Yes, but I respect his ability to help in other ways as he has 8 first half rebounds.

Loved the late game execution. KP is such a difference maker. Very nice win!

Wow! Very impressive road trip!
I don't wanna hear no *****in' from none of y'all or I'm jumping thru your screen and kickin booty!
Enjoy the team. If they're healthy in playoffs I like their chances.

Was great to hear the ESPN crew covering the game give Derrick his props.
Of course it helped having Doc Rivers as the primary color man
I really hope he makes the AllStar team.
Would be a travesty if he doesn't.
He deserves it more than any other Celtic except Tatum and even that is debatable

Seriously man, being able to topple the in-season tournament champion gives me chills

Going to be tough to make it as a guard in the east. It’s a Billy Beane moment: do we believe in this (analytics)? I think White is better than a guy like Lillard. We’ll see if the voters agree.

They won't. It's a popularity contest like most allstar voting in team sports.
They'll vote for big names even tho they may be well past their prime and not deserving.
Lebron,yes,he's having an allstar season.
Harden no.
And Lillard no. He's playing well now but for a good part of tge season he wasn't.
Trae Young hell no- play some defense,son

I feel like it's not the worst thing for the Celtics to not get individual recognition this year

Wel someone like White deserves recognition.
But I agree having the chip on their shoulders can help fuel the motivation a little, though this team is already highly motivated.
But if neither White nor Tatum made the AllStar team? It won't happen nut if it did that chip wouldn't be a chip- it would be a giant redwood tree
