I really like the Celtics and I am excited for the future. However, no matter who they draft, they still won't be able to compete for a title. Cowherd said it best, "Trade the pick, get a grown man, a 19 year old kid ain't putting you over the Cav/Warriors hump. The NBA has been a drag this year, really the last couple years. When you already know, before the season stars, who will be in the Finals, it is hard to get in to. Consecutive sweeps and 40 point beat down in Conference Finals is not entertaining. Yeah, the actual Finals will be fun to watch, but having to wait 8 to 9 months for an already decided ending is not fun for me.

These Super Teams are bad for the sport. Maybe not bad for the players, because they will still get their money, and maybe not bad for TV, because some still watch, but it is bad for the fans. Fans that are not Cavs or Warriors fans. For me, Durant going to Golden State, put that feeling over the top for me. Before that move, there was still some intrigue in the West. Hell, OKC had them beat in the WCF last year. Now,  even the perennial power that is SA is a laughing stock compared to GS. Barring one of these players leaving their respective teams in free agency (why would they), Warriors/Cavs will almost certainly be the Finals matchup for the next 3 years, making it 5 years in a row. 

The Celtics could push the Cavs in the coming years, but not with the Fultz kid. They would need to land at least 2 big time guys in free agency (Butler,Hayward, George) to make that push. Without that happening the only way this Super Team Finals goes away is when LeBron retires, or some of those guys decide they have played in enough Finals and take more money to play on a lesser team.

Many kudos to Ainge and Brad Stevens for what has been done in the last couple of year.   They bring two relative unknowns(when they arrived in Boston) in Crowder and I. Thomas and both become highly desirable NBA players.  Ainge and Stevens also managed to play for the conference championship while owning several high draft picks.  Gotta call that very smart management.

Cavs won the trade. 

Hmmm, looks like Boston Kyrie (who plays hard on both ends) has proven this incorrect.  I heard someone say the other day that whoever gets the best player wins the trade.  I’m starting to convert with this way of thinking.  Stevens is the best coach in the NBA whose last name doesn’t start with Pop and I apologize to Ainge for every time I’ve cussed him.  14 in a row and counting....withOUT their second best player who got hurt in the first quarter of the first game.  Celtics are ahead of where I thought they’d be.

Kyrie drops 47 tonight on 16-22 shooting (5-7 from deep, 10-11 from the line) and adds 6 assists.  The Celts have now won 16 straight.  Scary to think how good they would be with Hayward (who fits perfectly in what they do).  One thing is for certain, Brown and Tatum are ahead of schedule.  Bron or no Bron, the Celtics look to be a team that is looking to rule the East for the foreseeable future.

That new look Cavs team though..

They put a beat down on my Celtics yesterday for sure. For me, regardless if it was the pre-trade Cavs or post-trade Cavs, I am skeptical to believe the they are anything but the favorite to win the East. The Celtics are ahead of schedule. No Gordon. I have always figured LeBron and company would find a way to win the East this year. That said, the Celtics are about to run the East in the coming years, regardless of if LeBron stays or bolts to play with bigger stars. IMO, he will be a Cav or a Rocket.

Celtics outplayed the Rockets for 45 minutes tonight.  I was fortunate to have great seats for the game and was very impressed at where we are.   I think we have a great shot at getting to the finals this year.  And you are right.  We are ahead of schedule. Was there with an Indiana buddy of mine and if we can sneak into the lottery with the Lakers pick (if it’s drawn between 2-5) and can get a rim protector in Ayton or Bamba, look out.

Nobody in the East is very good. If the Cavs gets bounced, it opens it up to everybody. Boston can best Philly with what they have. I wouldn't be shocked if they upset the Raptors. We all have seen Lowrey and DeRozan disappear. I don't think they will, but it's not as far of a stretch as some believe. They have the best young coach in the league. Tatum and Brown are future stars. I can't wait for them to be healthy. LeBron better head West, the East won't be his anymore.

      Yeah, I got that but talk about a stretch. It should seem obvious that Trump’s prosecution is purely political. If someone is going to do a whataboutism, at least make it similar.  This is so ludicrous that it’s like comparing a ham sandwich to a wallet.

      You consistently try to say Trump ran our debt up and that the stock market and job market cratered during his administration (along with other MSNBC talking points). That is a flat out LIE, and you know it. Not only are you telling a mistruth, you knowingly are telling a mistruth...which is a blatant LIE...which makes you a "(I don't remember what word you used to describe Trump, something like a purse for dirt)" does it not? You know for a fact that the economy, stock market, and job market was thriving under Trump. You know that the Democrats controlled the house, and proposed a budget that would hurt the economy, in which he shut down the government. Even after this fiasco brought on by Democrats, our economy flourished under his administration. Then Covid19 hit, and the blue states shut down the country. YOU KNOW THIS, but continue to blame Trump. You lie...blatantly. Again, what do we call these people that partake in disseminating misleading information. You coined it...that purse thing. Does the shoe fit? I bet it does. It is amazing that you try to put "MAGA people" into this little box for the soul purpose of allowing all negative attributes of anyone that will vote for Trump instead of Biden to be attributed. That is a sickening modus operandi of stupid people. It is hard for me to believe that you would adopt that childish stereotyping. But since you are willing, I'm willing to push back. I'm a Trump supporter. I will gladly vote for him over Biden. So get busy putting me in your silly little box of stereotypes so I can embarrass you some more. You've been shot down by practically everyone on this board when you say stuff like Trump is their Messiah, or that supporters overlook his flaws. Everyone on this board has stated that they don't agree with Trump on much of his behavior, but you ignore these statements and continue with your lies. Oh yeah, since I'm a Trump supporter, those comments were also directed directly at me. So let's go. Prove I'm a simpleton that will ignore all of Trump's flaws and vow to disown the bad ol' orangeman. Let's continue that diatribe you peddle. I now am interested in responding. I also have boxes I can place people in. Whose box is accurate? Better yet, whose box is more embarrassing? I'm fairly certain your box is more entertaining for the board to make fun of. TDS should be included in the DSM-6, or revise the DSM-5 to include it since this phenomenon is so pervasive now. You are a walking, talking picture of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Do you like that box? Can you refute the rationale for placing you in that box. Everyone can refute your rationale for placing them into your irrational box, while you languish in your TDS box.

      Clinton got impeached because of it. David Pecker said it was true about Stormy today. Under oath.

      It’s not about worrying about Trump’s morality. It’s about him being held to a totally hypocritical standard that is applied to anybody else that’s not him. Double it if it happens to be a Democrat. What he did to Ted Cruz in 2016, for example. Accused him of extramarital affairs. Really? And the gang cheered the Master on. Sick is what it is.
